Two dope writers clashing. This one was very tough.
ZYG, aside from the lightning strike drop in record time, this direction you went was pretty different from your usual stuff. And I must say I'm not disappointed. This was very fresh conceptually. Didn't think you would approach this the way you did and it worked. The writing was very nice and flowed pretty well. Very interesting flip on the topic.
ThisIsDAM, you too did a good job conceptually. I'd have to say you were the better rhymer here hands down with once again, another solid flowing piece start to finish. Your story was also pretty good too. The direction you went was just as fresh as your opponent in how you approached the topic at hand.
If I have to choose what separates the one who gets my vote from the one who doesn't, it lies within the stories given. You both are pretty much evenly matched to me in everything here which makes this tough for me to decide. But the edge for me comes with a knock and that knock is the "twist" as some others have called it in DAM's piece. To be honest, you win this hands down, IMO, if there was no twist and just a simple ending that ties everything together but this twist at the end really threw me off and sort of took away from your piece overall. I didn't really like it and I didn't really understand why you chose to go there with it reading everything else that came before it. That's really all that decided this one for me. Both of you are even in everything and if DAM didn't have that twist I think he takes this clearly, but ZYG edges this one out without any real hiccups in his story.
MVGT: ZYG. Good job by both competitors.
