Not a bad battle...the personal angles from both sides helped make this a little more interesting. I thought Nick had a stronger opener than Subreal. The hand/puppet idea was slick and probably my favorite bar in that verse. There were several other bars with potential that could've been helped by adding specific words and there were also several cases of rhymes that just dont work. THINK YOU WOULD WIN IT, SURE/VISHNU LOGGED INTO HERE, POORLY WRITE HENCHMAN/CALL ME JIM HENSON, ELBOW GREASE/CENTERPIECE. Also, bugging out/arthropod exit scene is like something out of a bad bars battle. Subreal is taking a really simple approach to his bars. The first two punches didn't really hit for me at all. I thought the whole angle about the ban and unban was effective and the two punches worked well.  Body count bar was ok. Closer was well done and hit as well. Overall, I think Nick got a bit more creative here but also had more misses and technical errors than Subreal had. Sub kept it simple to a fault at some points but had a few more hits and a cleaner verse so I'm leaning that way 

I've read this a few times. Solid battle. Be back to vote. 

Feel like Sub edged this with a few harder punches here. Nick the MP3 line was nice, was probably your highlight. You had some rhymes that didn't work for me with SURE/HERE/CLEAR/disapPEAR. SURE doesn't match with any of those in my accent or any other recognizable one. And WITH YOU IT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR (6) and ISSUES DIDN'T DISAPPEAR (7) don't match syllable wise. I know you're knocking some rust off, but those are easily fixable mistakes. Sub you had more of a personal edge to your verse than what Nick had, tbh. Felt the ban for swaying punch was honestly your best punch. I feel like you're missing something in your verses that could really put you on another level from what you're currently at. Inner-multis would probably help you out in terms of adding a flow to your bars because there's just a whole lot of space between your multis at times that really could be used to either enhance the flow of the verse or possibly make your punch hit harder. The last bar you were capping parts of words that didn't even rhyme tbh although you managed to get away with the last 3 syllables matching up fine. 

Decent bout here from my 2014 squad, but I got Sub taking the W. Fair's in.

Expo: I sent him bars a few years ago and he never got at them.

When I wrote this he was the only member of his crew.

He banned me for swaying and I was unbanned within hours by other mods.

China has over 1 bil people ya'll really think they got less corona cases than us?

Nick's career is being a dog trainer

He bitched on the forums about admins banning people and Pugz responded to him

Musashi: Them dunno why you capped extra syllables in your intro when only the last word od each rhymed. Speaking of extra syllables..issues disnt disapear had 7 syllables while the rhyme scheme was 6. After this line though your execution was prettyy good, and had a few good jabs in there. 

Sun first few bars were solid up until the playstation line..very played. Other than that you stayed pretty consistent. Your multies were also super clean.

Think sub takes this with his more personal approach allowing his punches to hit harder.

Of* sub*

When you have to read something 8 times to understand the flow, it's either really good, or really not. Was the "PUGZ!?" thing that pushed it over the edge, for me. Close one, though.

^^dude gets bitches alright lol

envy ur career man !!

anyways, had too google Jim Henson lol vishnu bit was the best and the most well set up (relevance wise) Hindu God bar i have ever seen here tbh! suspicious wife shit had killed me lol didn;t feel the centipede thing much i dunno just felt too much like a chinese snack menu that one but those centerpiece and mp3 shit was DOPE !! this was a seriously good verse.

Sub pandemic was a nice way to begin not too hard on a punch level tho netiher was baker's street as such but the playstation shit was mad dope !! you should have had more lines like those since the beginning !! the china bit was a great punch but then when u added the whore thingy it was like u ver compare beyonce with cardi b...(now unless somebody likes cardi b you know what I'm tryna say lol) that pugz shit tho... #Bodybag !! lol

Overall man i feel bad sub wasted some of his space coz had he used it for more lines like those pugz and playstation shit that verse did have been something special. But Musashi was way too consistent here and a very high level too which was a little too much for sub to catch up with here. Good battle nonetheless, way above general standards as expected.

Going with Musashi here.

Musashi: Nice 16 here. Fresh concepts and pucnhes. Entire piece flowed smoothly. Was written well, no flaws with wording or grammar. Execution was on point too. Wasn't overly complex though it done it's job. Subreal: Another decent 16 piece here. The long gaps between multis slightly hurts the flow of the bars in comparison to Musashi's 16. I do like the personal approach you went for here. The Pugz line was nice. This really is a close one here. It boils down to what you prefer. The personal approach or fresher concepts/punches. 

Leaning this way due to the impact the fresher concepts made on me while reading. 8-8

Wow! I gotta come back to this

Meant to vote for Sub btw

Both came out with a lot o personals and consistent rhyming. I felt Nick had some readability issues and a few metaphors that couldv'e been better set up. I felt Subreal took a while to get in the swing of things. The first half of his verse was weak compared to the second half. On the positive side, I liked Nick's pandemic/battle with old dudes bar and I like Subreal's closer about dog training and handling pugs. This was really close and could go either way, but I'm leaning toward Subreal in this one. Nice read fellas!

Not gonna vote on this due to the obvious beef between me and Subreal atm but good battle from both here

Ones punches seemed to be more relative and connected on a much more consistent level even though the loser probably had the best one liner fv

I'm just gonna say I picked Subreal as my winner. He had the personal punches that was connecting and hitting hard. Truthfully the whole verse was dope except for the Bakers Street bar.

Nicks first bar was dope and fresh, also the Sully and Mike bar was fresh.. it was a clean verse just got out punched.

props to both! Nice battle 

God damnnn this was nicee.the boo and elbow grease scheme was dirty!subreal had some nice personal shots as well.

SF Ghost's vote removed, as he voted the wrong way by mistake.
