pretty crazy battle here. two heavy weights two dope verses

zyg - an alternate history verse. it was well done. you impressed with the flow as usual. you actually seemed to pick it up a bit from your recent drops, using more multis and inners here. i know your capable of out flowing anyone in this league but just choose not to , i don't know why. but here you unleashed it for a bit, than put it away. cool concept for a verse. nice take on the topic.

the verse was really well done and well written but i would have loved to see the ramifications of this re writing of the space race. that's what i expected. cause at the time it was such a big deal about who won the space race that when the US did it was seen as this great achievement and really gave us a confidence boost. im wondering what effect it would have had on the us and Russia if the roles were reversed. you didn't explore that. i wish you did


Oats - good verse man. good flow. very polished. which i really appreciate. umm i liked the take on the topic here as well. i have kids and i see how its a big race to get them involved in sports at such a young age. kids on my daughters team have personal trainers and agility coaches and she is in the second grade. it makes me want to keep up and send her to a private coach as well. and the race continues on until they graduate college. then the parents sit back and the race begins for the kids now turned adults to keep up with the joneses and eventually they have kids of their own and the cycle continues.

you left out the athletics part which is the part i most relate to but you made it academic pressures. which was ok

i like how you made the sections different like birth, and then jump to childhood and so forth. thought that writing mechanism worked well for you here. i do think you down played the struggle of all this, this big race of life a bit. and the effect that kind of pressure has on the youth. should have stressed that more.


i loved your last section where it was the parent being supportive and inspirational telling his kid to go and take on the world good stuff

overall i think oats had the better more well rounded verse. both were dope but zygs was missing some content i wanted to see. two dope reads. thank you for your submissions gentlemen


vote - oats
