YDKizzAY - This was a very, very dope verse sir. Flow was nice, usually when you have soo many multies Ala..."a confession of depression" you tend to make less sense for rhymes sake. But everything tied together nicely here. The meaning....hmmm, I took it as we are all dying or killing ourselves rather, and hell is just waiting as we (humans) are just living, every second being an inch closer to deaths clutch. Dope verse bro, I did enjoy the read from start to end multiple times.
Ink - The runway and tires fought like an old married couple....dope writing, imagery at its finest, only its not imagery, its sound. Symbolism at its best. Solid writing although the second stanza was far, far better then the first I must say. First stanza had me questioning word choice....But in all honesty, the rhymes might not have been as crisp, but the meanings behind each line were just that much more important. I enjoyed this verse and meaning behind it. The immigrant's and the work ethic, slaving away for the check until you can no longer. This is something Americans have lost and still complain about foreigners taking there jobs, first they are not yours, second, they are willing to work until they die much like YOUR own ancestors did, don't feel so entitled, go get it.
Tough battle here, will definately be one of the better battles of the seasons @
Certain
V/Ink for having the better concept, but also having the stronger execution although both verses were far above average from what I've read thus far. Honestly, I've read something like 12 verses and I would put these two as top 4, maybe top 3 not counting the champ match.
