both verses had some excellent strong points, and also some weaker areas which were quite surprising based on the aforementioned strengths.
it feels like both competitors here were running either hot or cold during their verses, without much in between.
campbell started weak, in particular the 2nd line does not appear to flow well with the rest of it. but really the first half is average--nowhere near as good as the very strong second half.
in the second half it appears a fire is lit. it starts to flow big-time, as well as some very impressive content.
...allah been doing me favors
he dropped a bomb on venezuela til you drowned in lava from the equator
best line i thought. great.

blanco's knack for rhymes stood out... i felt like it hit hard early.. on more than one occasion i noted a "sick" phrase.. but a few lines were less than impressive,
When i come through..dippin in the crimson SS...Imma run through...a few chickens, cuz I'm fixin to dip my tip in some wet wet.
So run dude..I'm not kiddin, kid its your best bet..I'm Sun Szu...inna fitted, siftin' through texts'best.
i felt this was a bit lame, compared to the rest of it.
I study the art diligently. Confined in a bunker my mind ponders plunder that'll tear u apart intelligently.
We're miles apart mentally. Yours plateaus off where mine begins to form thoughts n the holy ghost starts entering me.
then we are back to very strong, just like the beginning.
the end was somewhere in between.

despite my nitpicking i really did enjoy much of these verses, just not in their entirety.
i've got Blanco in a close one.
i felt the bulk of his verse was strong whereas only the 2nd half of campbell's was strong.
