Godcomplex
Surreal verse, kid. You teeter tottered through the different stages and phases of sleep. It reminded me of what one would write under extreme sleep deprivation. I compared the verse to a cold sweaty awakening where you are catapulted into a realm of uncertainty and fear of the unknown. You drew the reader through this hazy, trance like state of mind. I imagined a turbulent, off the wall, eerily disturbing camera shot, kinda like Requiem for a dream. The verse unraveled on itself like a truly mad individual losing his shit. The verse came to a psychotic hault of sorts. It came to a close on a wandering, fading, perishing note. Straight jacket. I do not want to patronize the Season 5 champions technical abilities. I didn't judge this verse based on the multies or the flow but rather on the essence. A memorable verse, in a amnesiac kind of way.
Pent uP
Old nemesis you've built a name for yourself that supersedes you. What I mean is, Pent uP is a household name - beyond this board you are a transcendent of RM and other sites and your legacy follows you wherever you go. I can recall being truly honored to have had you acknowledge me when I first arrived at Netcees, which must have been 4-5 years ago. I was a dominant force at RhymeNReason eons back and I followed the RSTL from a great distance. I wanted to do battle with the Legends, to see how I stacked up. Me and you have gone on to have a rich history together. I remember you constantly banning all my Aliases in the early NWL days, which ultimately made the Red Glare account all the more sweeter :) I wanted to personally Thank You for being a prestigious presence in my writing career early on and inspiring me to be a more legendary writer than yourself.
With all that said, I don't feel like your verse was great enough to dethrone the current season 5 title holder. Returning from a long hiatus to Face the Current CHAMP is no small task. As a former champion yourself, you must understand the politics. It takes a monumental effort to knock the God Complex off the bracket this early in the tournament. This was my pick for BOTW. This battle transcended real life for me. I was hyped up in real life to witness this show down. Two forces from different eras colliding. Whoa. It had all the elements of a true classic. People throw around the word classic but this matchup truly deserved that claim. And The actual battle did not disappoint. But only one of the two competitors truly showed up and that verse belonged to God Complex
Look forward to battling the both of you again again and again throughout the years. I respect very few writers on this website, but you two definitely have my utmost
