very nice battle. this topic is up my street so was def feeling it. both verses are up with the best I've seen out of what's still open for votes.
CK - loved how you tackled the topic as a whole, as well as the fact you had some nice one liners (eg the propaganda/freedom of speech line). flow & vocab was on point & impressive throughout. it's not easy to portray chaos without becoming chaotic, and I felt you did slightly lose focus in parts, but certainly not so much that it was incomprehensible.
KK - now.. I didn't see part one.. & I don't really feel like searching for it, so I hope that doesn't count against you when I start reading. that's the risk you take dropping a 'part 2' in a league I guess. also, structure-wise I'm not a fan of the splitting a verse into 'acts' or whatever... let the story tell itself... anyway... that's just my opinion, I won't hold that against you here.
dope story, loved it. thought it was very cleverly done to play with the classic 'it's a dream' structure by using the dream as a way into (what I take to be) a split personality.. flow and vocab wasn't as impressive as CK's, but then you made up for that with amazing storytelling.. a proper masterclass..
damn, this is tough.. def the 2 best verses I've seen recently, so props to both writers on that. gotta choose though, and my personal favourite was written by.. King Keith
