Pretty cool battle here, I expected barc to win and I thought he had it until I tallied the bars and saw username had more solid hits, both had the same amount of misses but user had the better hits.

- Flow and multi's here were spot on.

You'll be running like your wet farts if the tec sparks on the fly, bet

- lol made me chuckle.

Obese 'n hella soft, mixed w/ gay. Think you'd ever rob this estate?

- hate gun bars but this worked on multiple levels so it gets a pass.

The crime will not be fast or untold. I cannot relax on a known softy
It's fate, not mean. Baywatch scene; I'll make a Splash with a Slow Body

- wordplay was decent but I'm feeling your flow and multi's man. Even the bars I left out were smooth in that department.

I'm not certain its fact, but is every orange haired person a fat loser?
Seeking help for food addiction is the only way you'd work on an Ab,User

- this was cool but could be worded differently - I don't think someone who seeks helps technically works on an abuser... . nitpicking, I know. But I like lines that work both ways flawlessly.

Good verse overall, flow was butter. Good multi's. I've seen better wordplay from you before but this still was enjoyable.

- Clever way to flip your two battles this week.

Everyone at NC laughs at you, and i know this guy gets bent

- lol. I sometimes feel Barc isn't far off from this... or a school shooting.

You go to work all day, you should know you can’t fade the Tropics
Meanwhile I got my feet up at your crib, gettin’ head while your baby watches

- now this was a mental picture I could've done without lol... but savage all the same.

Cool verse overall, User. Flow and multi's on point. Damn you two reminded me I need to work on my flow and shorten up my bars in a battle sense cuz this was impressive.

So I got 5-5 here. Hmm. If I got to edge it to one, I gotta go with the one that had more wordplay in it... just a personal preference for me. This battle will be back and forth regardless.

Vote - Barcotic

Entertaining guys, thanks.

Well to sum it up... Barcotic tried and did a real good job, had shit rhyming right ( I read these things in my mind like i'm actually rapping it) did a good job with that. His opener which was kind just a generic you're fat line, but it was good though. As far as punchlines it kind of went all down hill from there.

User -- he had some hits and some misses... but the ones I quoted especially liked the atlanta one... and spotlight. Bottom line is he was wittier, I liked his style better he had the harder punches which for me is what its all about... good job to Barcotic though... mos def wasn't a push over but to me it was clearly

those were the punches that landed well for each imo. solid outing by both, I wasn't feeling Barc's opener and really thought User's opener was solid, but I felt like User's verse wasn't hitting as hard toward the end. Barc leaned on the weight punches a bit, but there was still enough variety to make it work imo. Can see this coming down to personal preferences as both drops were dope, but for me...

v/ Barcotic

Barc:
Huge Name, I felt this needed more just seems like your saying hes fat.
Handout, this is nice.. grimey
Bears, Yeah Im not sure, dunno that sport very well
Gun powder, good little bit complimentary though
Jello, like the trey/tray flip jello shot/spirit is ok if kinda played
Tropic Thunder, this is a np
Baywatch, yeah dope body flip
Ab,user, wasnt feeling this as much still ok
Makeshift, wasnt feeling as much
Alarm Clock, is just ok Ive seen it done before.

User:
The Meg, dunno is that like a meglodon flip? its alright
Exhaust pipe, is ok think the wordings a bit off
Pigs, I dunno cool with the current ish, but pigs/police??
Big and Tall, not really feeling this one
Lean cuisines, this is cool. seen the microwave/nuke before though
Spotlight, this was cool a bit light
COVID, I think this concept is pretty played now
Suicide, yeah a miss for me, is that a terrorist flip?
Ruth, prolly an american thing its ok
Baby, yeah didnt really sdee the punch, should have closed out better.

V-Barc had a bit more zing

I had a long vote typed out but the site fucked me when I pressed reply


With that being said


I enjoyed this

Respect to both


My original vote has User edging this with humor and creativity



Blessings bro’s

Tied ? Lol

Average.. the wording on the set-up kinda threw me off, seemed erroneous
Careful, a single shot means farewell when I'm blasting
Hollows cook raw. Chicago football; 1st Down the Bear'll have you Passing
Bear'll/barrel kinda played.. I appreciate the internals & the execution
You'll be running like your wet farts if the tec sparks on the fly, bet
The only Gun Powder you're using helps with stretch marks on your biceps
lol @ wet farts.. this was good; fresh concept & delivered directly
Obese 'n hella soft, mixed w/ gay. Think you'd ever rob this estate?
Approach Bar's..I'll make you a Spirit and leave your Jello Shot w/ the Tray
Again, I appreciate the rhyming ability, but this didn't land for me.. seen the bar/spirit/shot/tray connection done too any times for it be impactful.. & calling his fat "Jello" just seemed awkward lol
This is NOT a Simple Jack && the blasts are awful-sounding
I'll bring this Tropic Thunder that could blow the black off robert downey
Fresh connections & worded well.. not a huge punch, but the set-up lent itself well to it
The crime will not be fast or untold. I cannot relax on a known softy
It's fate, not mean. Baywatch scene; I'll make a Splash with a Slow Body
These set-ups, man.. Idk if you're trying to build up the second line for impact or what, but they just read w/ a lot of extraneous verbiage.. I put this in the same category as the Jello Shot bar
I'm not certain its fact, but is every orange haired person a fat loser?
Seeking help for food addiction is the only way you'd work on an Ab,User
Great set-up, but "Ab/User" & "abuser" is too simple & they're not really pronounced similarly
Your waist is big, holmes. Pray it shrinks, go for loss

Nice multies, definitely helped this land.. decent bar, overall

Funny, relevant opener.. no complaints here
Depression's got him, alone in the garage thinking he lost life
clearly it inspired your girl the way she uses her mouth to exhaust pipe
Exhaust pipe kinda played.. decent flip, could've been worded better
Talks like he gets ladies, probably lays out a flattering cheese board
…Then go to his crib, and more pigs walk out than Atlanta’s police force
Clever & worded really well.. this hit
Listen dawg, I know I joked your girl was a pig and all
But that’s just cuz after I stretched her, she can only shop at Big & Tall
Eh, this was a miss
Not a fan of 90's slang, but my whole team agrees
that you've been taken out and nuked more times than Lean Cuisines
Thought you could've worded this to be more impactful.. the concept itself is fire, though
I’m not saying I’m the best, but I make it work as a hobby
& After this, the only spotlight you’ll be in, is the search for your body
Simple & effective, I surprisingly haven't seen the "Spotlight" concept flipped before.. wording was crisp, too
This week’s a 2 for 1, it’s goat herdin’ the way I’m roping kids
Pockets? I’m hitting Neighborin’ Bars harder than COVID did
Light jab.. good wording & straightforward delivery
Everyone at NC laughs at you, and i know this guy gets bent
When he drops and the 'Cord explodes like his last suicide attempt
Another decent jab.. kinda simple, but execution was clean
High scholars will laugh when this guy hollers
If he’s cashing checks, they’re all from Ruth and they totaled to five dollars
Eh.. this needed more to make it land for me
You go to work all day, you should know you can’t fade the Tropics
Meanwhile I got my feet up at your crib, gettin’ head while your baby watches
Simple ender.. decent generic; would've liked to see you go a little more complex here


So this was a pretty close one.. I feel like User's bars were either hit or miss, but his wording & the way he delivered his lines made his misses read slightly better than Barc's.. I liked Barc's verse & I'm a big fan of multies & relevant set-ups, but I felt like his connections were pretty stretched in parts & relied heavily on the rhyme scheme to carry them.. it was still an above average verse, but left something to be desired.. I'm leaning towards User as his punches landed cleaner & his bars did everything Barc's did w/out the excessive wordage.. dope battle, guys

mann handout is doope conceptually, i like these kindve bars...but it really bothers me you used the setup to neg mention voting instead of making a relevant setup...no solid tie in to the handout misdirection, but i still like this because its a cool fresh concept
Careful, a single shot means farewell when I'm blasting
Hollows cook raw. Chicago football; 1st Down the Bear'll have you Passing
maybe its personal preference but ive grown tired of this formulaic gun bar setup youve been doing for a year now...the cypher on RB was dope , this one is kinda avg with some played ideas flipped together
You'll be running like your wet farts if the tec sparks on the fly, bet
The only Gun Powder you're using helps with stretch marks on your biceps
lmao at running like wet farts...lmao i didnt like this at first but its actually quite creative... cool concept i dig it, delivered well
Obese 'n hella soft, mixed w/ gay. Think you'd ever rob this estate?

nah, bunch of played wp and concepts meshed together

I'm not certain its fact, but is every orange haired person a fat loser?
Seeking help for food addiction is the only way you'd work on an Ab,User
ehh, wording is good but this is just okay to me

cant recall seeing an exhaust pipe / girl line like tis before...wording was great, this was funny

…Then go to his crib, and more pigs walk out than Atlanta’s police force

This week’s a 2 for 1, it’s goat herdin’ the way I’m roping kids
Pockets? I’m hitting Neighborin’ Bars harder than COVID did
ehh, cool attempt but jab at best
Everyone at NC laughs at you, and i know this guy gets bent

lol, not a haymaker but cool discord idea that was executed well
High scholars will laugh when this guy hollers

lol wording prob made this better then it is, but this was a good chuckle...solid personal
You go to work all day, you should know you can’t fade the Tropics
Meanwhile I got my feet up at your crib, gettin’ head while your baby watches
nah, feels like a filler closer...i get the swag attempt but this one didnt resonate for me


Pretty solid battle here...I've seen both come better but there was still some good highlights for both... This is a huge contrast of styles so i can somewhat see how votes are split, but Users verse was just more enjoyable to me
Both had some misses but Meg and Lean Cuisines were prob my fave lines of the battle for me, and ATL and Spotlight were prob on par with handout and tropic thunder for me.. I liked Users verse better and he gets my vote
