Zenland - I liked the ending. Robert was writing a letter to his mom basically saying he sold his soul for fame and knows his soul will be collected soon. Thought that was a great twist on the concept, which as far as the concept goes, Golden. The flow was good, I will say I did not like "Raised off of blues and cotton and since I refuse to rot in The noose they're droppin I'm confused, a problem" I've never been a fan of having a rhyme mid sentence which you did here. IMO, doing this often does not work because I'm carefully reading each word and I have to double take because the sentence doesn't make sense, so I re-read the line then the next before realizing what you are saying. IDK it's just a preference thing. All in all I did enjoy the read, especially the story behind it. Solid drop.


CDM - I enjoyed your twist on the topic, you took it very literal and took something so common as a road and gave it life. I liked the imagery, the dead, the drugs, basically everything the road sees. I liked the flow with the exception of this tongue twister...My whole life has been warfare to simply remain stable/For the wisest see that in this task there are twain few able". The last line was the tongue twister part, also the word "twain" through me off because I don't get..."there are two few able", I don't get it?? All in all a very solid drop with much imagery.


Vote - This is another close one, but I feel Zen took it based off giving some emotion to what was pretty much dead even viewing on concept, flow and word usage. Basically the emotion put you over the top. Close call though, both of you guys have solid reads and appreciate you for that.
