I got this, give me 10-15

so real quick, I like a lot of BB's verse, but a lot of it was too obscure for me to grasp onto. too many vague descriptions that were left on their own. I also felt as if the verse lost some steam toward the end with a couple of lazy lines. Overall it was dope, but those were my gripes.

For Frank, the narrative was more coherent and interesting, but it was also a chore to read in a lot of ways. The actual rhyming and meter of this verse were tough for me to get through, and admittedly I really gravitate towards those types of things in topicals.

Vote: Both verses have their strengths and weaknesses, but I do feel like Frank's story, while not written as well from a technical standpoint, was better and more complete than BB's verse, which was ultimately too unfocused and unclear for me to get into. Enjoyed this one a lot, though, very cool clash of styles.
