Quick vote.
Battle of the week and it's not particularly close. What a show. We knew dead man would write like he did, same for NYC. Almost a coin flip. Not just saying that, most battles this week were pretty obvious to me. Dead man wrote a dead man verse, with the perfect one off one liners sprinkled in between perfect phrasing and subtle, complex rhyme mechanics. A high percentage of quotables in this one, all hitting on the themes he's always on about. NYC wrote a straight narrative, one of the best verses I've seen from him in some time. All very smooth, creative flourishes that enhance the futuristic scene. A great flow. My only problem I found was that I felt the first half was noticeably better than the second half. Both were good, but noticeable. Dead man was even through out, consistent. A strong momentum to the piece. A shame one of these verses have to be a loser. Sorry for quick breakdown, with such hackneyed critical concepts. Deserves in depth. Thanks for the reads fellas.
