I feel both relied far too heavily on nameflips here. Guts gets the edge cause he used them a bit less and was dropping the fresher concepts of the two (although the Trump prediction is pretty ballsy lmao). Opener didn't do it for cause it wasn't really a punch. Closer had a broken multi with it unless you're trying to make it 3 syllables (which I can tell you weren't). Best line from you was probably the Spain one. 

Rain you woulda probably got this if you didn't go so overboard on the Guts nameplays. You can only flip that so often until it gets completely stale by like the 9th-10th line of the verse. If I had to pick what your favorite one was it would probably be the toilet paper one. Reader's Digest one was funny cause of the something something before it. Eyes closed was pretty slick, but like I said before you went far too overboard with the nameflips in this one and it cost you. Fair's in.

Close battle here. Rain's concise lines and higher rhyme rate made his a smoother read. Do it with your eyes closed bar was simple but funny as hell and hit really hard.  Some of these Guts punches are different from at least what I've seen but the nameplay was used so much it started to lose impact toward the end. Korvus first line was humorous. The Spain line wasn't bad and the closer was ok. A lot of the rest of it had potential conceptually but the setups seemed rushed in spots and too wordy in others. Not the best I've seen from you. I'm leaning toward Rain here but this could go either way depending on who's looking at it. 

I really enjoyed reading this but both of you could do better and there are three main areas where both of you could have won this but made basic fuckups.

1) Nameplay: Both of you have a name that has been the subject of some of the most overused, obvious and stupid nameplay on the site. I'd have thought this might have taught you not to go overboard on other people's names, but apparently not.

2) Multis: I can't believe two people of your calibre need to be told this, but you need to focus on making sure your multis actually work when you write them. Rain, stuff like "THINK OF IT/FEEL LIKE A" just doesn't fly for me, and Guts, the multis in your closer didn't even match syllable count wise.

3) Consistency: I felt both of you here had a lot of wasted space on bars that didn't deliver a real punchline, particularly at the beginning of your verses.

Ultimately I think you were both probably equal in your lows, so I looked to your highs to separate you. Both had a few solid nameplay punches (just way too many for any to be memorable), but I thought Guts had the line that stuck out most to me with the palace into a morgue line, and so he has my vote. Close, entertaining battle though and either could have taken it clearly if they eliminated basic errors in their verses.

Your funeral ... That wasn't a shot at punk either, That @ u bud ... Ego +1

Lol Not Bad At All .... Lets See How This Plays Out. Good Luck Brotha

nice battle hre kinda surprising tthat it yet to get the votes too, overall i felt that the guts nameplays seemed a lil overdone by Rain (even tho some were really nice lol) while Guts had really nice lines in some places but could not do the same with the kinda consistency Rain had.  Rain the closer from you was the weakest point in ur verse for me while those solar plex,intestine,toilet papaer and guts instinc was the best ones from you while Guts the nursery rhyme, spain, coke and rain in the storm bit (even thos the wording took the sting away from storm and coke a lil which kinda cost you here) were ur best moments while the opener and a few other lines really did close to no damage the closer was ok.

Overall Rain had the lower lows and more consistent highs here while Guts had more highlights with a few of them not completely at a 100% which made me go with Rain here.

RAISE YO EGO MOTHAFUCKAS

not bad yall, im gonna have to go with Rain here, despite his repeated Guts name flipping he was just more complex and creative than his opponent. Korvus was good too but he shouldve used more multi schemes. fair vote no hate.
