I found this a very enjoyable battle to read; Shodan came with some creative and original punches, while Sub came packing funny and hard-hitting personals, which made this a great clash of styles. Ultimately thought I thought Sho was able to take this (and prove himself to be a heavyweight) with a string of quotables back to back for over half his verse, basically from the Panasonic systems punch onwards. Subreal was able to match these kind of highs in a couple spots with the One Bar closer, the stallion/brony line and the oxidation one. However, I don't think Sub was able to keep up at this level through his whole verse, and although none of his bars were poor, ones like the opener and the touching themselves bars just didn't stand out as much due to having a reasonably simple and uncreative flip of a personal that could have been used in many different ways.

Good battle and both looked in great form here, but I have Shodan taking this one by a close but clear margin.

Shodan: 9 / Subreal: 8

Really close but I actually got Subreal winning this. Feel he had a lot more of a personal edge in his lines and was able to make the hits count just a tiny bit more here. He didn't hit as often, but what did hit worked. Sho you punched just about every other line and the scheming mid-verse was your best stuff, but the suboxone/Sub boxing wordplay doesn't work (I checked the pronunciation) to make sure, so that really hurt you here, plus the personal flare Sub had was just a bit stronger in comparison to you trying to out-bar him the whole way. Fair's in.

This was close. Shodan was definitely more creative and it paid off on a couple bars. I liked the opener, the Randy Johnson bar, and the tug of war. The suboxone bar hurt cuz the pronunciation isn't that close. The road head angle was cool but the wording on the basketball punch was really wonky and hurt that punch too. Subreal was really simple and straightforward in his approach. In spots like the stallion/pony line it was almost too much so. In others, the simplicity coupled with the humor and personals resulted in some harder hitting lines. Overall, that's what decided this for me. In something labeled a grudge match, it's expected to be personal. Even though Shodan had some of the best ideas in this battle, I think the 2 errors he made in wording along with a lack of a real personal hit was enough to derail what was otherwise a solid effort. 

Expo:

In an audio battle he said he's a nigga with attitude like Eazy E

His name used to be Rainbow Dash(Brony).

He has a multi called Reggin

He founded a crew - Fire Nation

He made a thread asking where everyone's favorite place to masturbate was.. Pause

Great battle here. Very great.  Both came swinging.  No multiple syllable were forced in either of your rhymes. Sub came with a smoother reading verse overall and Iiked the personals.  Shodan had some really strong concepts and I enjoyed the wordplay.  The fair is in. 

real good drops from both there. shodan came in with surgical precision mostly while sub came in with insane personal flips shit was a good battle here btw. loved the key a nigga oxidation closer from sub while the tug of war, cable cutting, pluto and the suboxene shit was the BOTB from sho here the basket ball references were lit too i think what seprate the two here was the fact that sho had shorter set ups which allowed him to fit more while sub had a longer ones which restricted him from outpunching sho here. good battle nonetheless here glad to see you guys do this.

Expo: He recently hit me up in DMs asking for feed on a Soundcloud track he did with Fidel Z and Grizzeat

Nice clash... 

Shodan ya verse was pretty good.. I liked the Randy Johnson bar the most, I felt like your wording was a lil forced in some areas, I didn't get ya opener about Heat Rocks..for a grudge match I felt like u could've got more personal, but overall solid verse

Sub you had a basic & simple verse but it was creative, it had personals, humor, good delivery plus it was a entertaining read. So for that reason I'm a go with Subreal on this one.

good batrle from both but i got shodan taking it for smoother clearer multis and better punches, subreal was nice too just wasnt as hard hitting as his opponent. fair vote fellas.

Shodan had a couple cool lines. Like the Randy Johnson line and tug of war. But the suboxone line flopped big imo, and some other stuff wasn't quite right like the travelling line. I think Sub was a little cleaner overall and he put a lot more personal emphasis into his verse. I do think Shodan was better at the top end, and it's not often I don't vote for the verse that is better at the top end, but I think Subreal was right there with him and the slips from Shodan were enough to put Sub ahead by a bit.

Cool drop both had some highliggt momenta but going with Shodan because of some haymakers like the closer and more aggresiveness displayed throughout
