fuck. copypat is going to be a serious threat to this league if he stays consistent.
you tackled this topic with reckless abandon and made some really great points to boot. shit was mad entertaining and obviously relatable for any of us who are 'on the grid'. i don't use my phone like its crack but of course I'm on there texting and bullshit on the regular. music. all that.
the spelling out abbreviations was the funniest shit to me. so true.
writing had serious personality. you come across as very nonchalant and whatever but you make a pretty powerful social commentary with the verse. the conclusion was essential to the feel of the verse because you eliminate a lot of that hypocrisy that comes with a lot of overly preachy and society-centric pieces of writing. it seems very self-righteous to a point and your writing never does. so word
vulgar
Antifada Doberman agents ardently guard all the info
greyhounds survey the dark plains, it’s semiotic in tempo
Gunshots and artillery shells are making Pavlov sounds
and the scummiest Shih-Tzu has the most power: making catcalls now
fantastic.
your ability to grab a running theme and run with it is nothing short of fascinating and impressive. the dogs of war will never have the same effect after reading this. you possess a breadth of knowledge that allows you to toy with these concepts loosely at will. you are able to employ a vast arsenal of reference and historical input to give your verse solid footing. you don't shoot from the hip necessarily - but you are firing rounds with your mind, not your hand. descriptions were well phrased vivid and lasting. your rhyming is among my favorite of all time. your language choice is never predictable. it is ever fluid. it goes back to the ability to employ many weapons in a single encounter. quickdraw and holster. rifle to ginsu.
i absolutely had copypat winning this battle on my first read. but i think vulgar's exhibition of his skill set alone won him this week's contender match. while copy had a far catchier interpretation of the topic, my own close reading of the two put vulgar way ahead.
thank you guys.
v/ VULGAR
