tough..

Nigma - Wow such an unorthodox and refreshing flow to this, i was really impressed with the first 10 or so lines before it got a bit muddy. The rhyming is great and it brings us into this personal space that you seem very strong in. I liked several of the metaphors you mix in and references as well, great poetical tip.

Can't just grab the nearest plane or path to craft my advancement
Can't just take a gal and fly away the way Aladdin did Jasmine

felt that could have been worded better

I stepped inside the cage one way and emerged a new man
What I learned in the shackles was worth the entrapment
It's that plans don't have to be perfect to have them

great icing on the cake

Mike - ha, wow what a twist ending, I did not see that coming and Im a huge fan of the twist, the concept is very dope, i felt the execution lacked a little because I have read more descriptive and engaging verses from you. Felt this was a solid showing though.

or why would they want to destroy me, a tyrannosaurus rex/
but hey if you gotta go, we all goin out with style,
except as im consumed by the flames, I see a mammal smile

LOL holy crap that was cool

Vote -Nigma

I think this was a very solid battle in using such a scant topic, I really liked the layers of Nigma's verse over Mike's crazy twist-story. great work
