Ok, Barc basically had two lines of attack here -- wordplay and nameplays (his and Inf's). The wordplay that started the verse was hard to nail on the first go round. Pocahontas needed to be sounded out a few times. Same with MRI. Same with Usada. Soe I had a difficult entryway into this verse. Started picking up steam in the middle -- I like the Adele bar (gym playlist as a diss though, lol, love it)... but the wp doesn't work both ways for me. The Inf Adele / religious angle wasn't strong enough for me. The other nameplays were your own -- last week was the first time I saw you referred to as Mike in the battle. I'm so-so on it. Yo, so I just wasn't wow'ed here is basically it. I had more problems than I had nod-along moments essentially.

Inf -- I like the opener, I don't get the tattoo reference, but it's written well. The wordplay attacks were great personals -- working in the omelette concept was genius. Really after that, the verse kinda fell off. The Dragonball line was written nice, but I don't relate to it. There were good concepts and solid rhyme-writing but I didn't get floored by anything really.

So here's my dilemma. Barc was more consistent through the verse, while Inf was strong off the top and weakened towards the end. I still gotta hand it to Infiltrate though on personal preference. I got a gut reaction from a few of his bars. Barcotic didn't give me those feels at all.

Vote -- Infiltrate
