Ahhhh, very excited to read this battle...just letting you both know before I dig in that I don't see you guys meeting expectations...physically impossible.


Vulgar - Words galore borseph. A tale of trees and there evolution to outlast human evolution??? Similar to the film "The Happening"? I like the verse for what it is, I truly had to dig deep into understanding it because so many words I had to look up. Then I realized they were all words or references surrounding trees and natural plant life. I loved the visual section where you explained the plant re-claiming earth...The invading of Brooklyn, the trees taking place of man made dams... I liked the metaphor lines of "civilized heart beat and open wound, then monarch government" All in all, this verse was a lot to take in, as for the concept I think it's genius, rather good but the execution of the concept was genius. A very complex verse and that took away from the flow, but I see what you were doing with the flow, you did not sacrifice your wording for rhymes sake yet carefully worded lines to rhyme..."Lapses, reacted, fragments attachment". These were broken up, but it rhymed, just not in my face rhyme, it was swept under the rug for Meanings purpose, which is rare. Good read brother, very enjoyable to me. Side note afterthought: "Man made trees"...LOL, plant a seed bro.

Ink - I loved the flow in the entire middle section, zero complaints there but the first and last were either too simple (first) or just off (last). The first section was good writing though, the way you explained the atmosphere as deteriorated was very subtle and dope, (Not sure if "sizzling/frying" was intentional, if so ill way to concept "Earth is cooking"). You painted your character well; good enough to draw me a connection with him. From 9 being his son, to 10 potentially being his wife if alive meaning he was willing to give his soul to breathe life into 9 and hopefully give Earth another creature to rome, only not one who would destroy her again. All in all dope verse with wording that I enjoyed regardless of "fluidity of rhyme". Final read, was it maybe a suicide in the end? hated the wording of the "dug/Lung" bar as far as rhyme, but wrinkles described as canals was dope.


vote- Impossible...Both verse in my opinion are extremely good, but for two completely different reasons. Vulgar went with that almost "book"/knowledge drop yet weaved intricate rhyme structure very discreetly. While Ink had more of your traditional topical with solid flow and imagery while giving the poetic connection to a character. This is a very tough vote to me and in all honestly, I would not feel like a "cop-out" if I said tie, but I wont. So I will give each a read and drop a name with no further explanation. Great battle, both top notch verses and for what it's worth..Fuck you all!
