I refuse to read what you just mumbled, so I'm basically forced to pretend it doesn't exist. The first section of rhyming seemed forced as shit. I listened to it three times, and the lyrics didn't seem to make much sense. I think you were too focused on schemes, which ended up making your lyrics nonsensical. After you threw up on the beat, the delivery was so monotonous, that I swear I started to fall asleep. "keep it unique"? keep that shit somewhere else. You ain't special. Flow was sloppy as shit. I'm sorry brotha man, I didn't like this at all. I can't quote one line that I thought was dope. Plus it sounds like you are just playing the beat on a stereo behind you while recording, rather than actually recording over the beat..... ugh. Man, I can't do this shit.
Kin. First listen is okay. I don't know how I feel about using a chorus in a battle, but whatever. Your piece definitely had more focus. You had a plot to a story, and no matter how good it was, it was a million times better than the bullshit I just listened to. And I can't lie, I smiled when you ended the hook with "I'm sleepwalking into round 2." Playing back again, First verse, I was a little lost at the meaning behind him meeting his unborn kid. I think that had you not broken into chorus, that could have been a cool idea to explore more, but it felt like a stray thought without much support behind it, as it is. From a technical standpoint, the flow was good. Delivery could have used a little more energy, but not bad. quality was also leaps and bounds above mind assassin. I do like that your shadow was telling you basically that you were going to beat mind assassin. That was kind of a cool little play. That being said, the novelty of it could have been a hindrance had you been up against anyone with some actual talent. You've got some room to grow, or maybe you just knew who you were up against, but I'd like to see some more creativity in your story next round.
Vote is an easy cast for Kin.
