adonis - i actully enjoyed ur verse...reminded me of a narcisist whose a no one at heart, and lives in a constant state of bad faith, but knows it and chooses it - bc its simply easier than the alternate. Your adjective choices were dope at points; however sometimes they became redunant, which may have been inentional (im not sure.) Stylistically i liked the set up, and flow was pretty fluent maybe one sylable to many at certain points, but nothing to detrimental. I felt it addressed the topic in an original way, and overall enjoyed your verse.

Diode - Your verse was pretty decent as well. I just have a personal difficulty with the logical flow of it, like from the first stanza to the third. I understand what you were doing, but I felt like if u delved deeper, and maybe concentrated more on the concept you presented in your last stanza it would have had a much deeper impact. I did enjoy the name dropping with philosophy, found it intellectually amusing. Another thing that threw me slightly was your tense differentation, and i may b nitpicking, but at first your telling a story, then ur giving advice, and then you bring it back together (or attempt to) It just seemed like there was something missing, or almost scattered at times. If you stuck with the third stanzas theme I think the verse woulda been better as a whole personally. Not bad at all though man.

Overall, I got to go with adonis...i enjoyed his wordchoice, approach, and overall cohesiveness more. Felt it to be a little more thought out. Pretty close though. Props to both,
