pussy please.. had a lucky streak when u started but I’m out ur fuckin league
ur like the BAL.. way you started off incredible, now ur futures looking bleak

(This is a pretty good opener. This is a good personal angle. You coulda cleaned up the wording of ‘futures looking bleak’ to make the double meaning a bit cleaner but I still I think you had enough going on for this to be good)

Homies a clown, I have fire battles and stay holding it down
Summer Classic even, while you stay losing in its opening round

(This is just okay. Good angle but this was statementish. Needed a punch to end this to really make it land hard)

Consistency the key to greatness N flow faced everyone on the market
While this fast food faggots win/loss graph lookin like McDonald's arches

(Hmmm so once again, not a bad angle. You’re doing good job of back to back really breaking down Body. The fact that he had a better record took away slightly, but really held this back was the actual punch. The McDonald’s arch/win-loss graph concept doesn’t really give a clear visual. I think the issue might be we don’t really use win-loss graphs. This was decent)

Cus u been forming so many gun bars that now it’s like ur always on empty..
cuz ur line limits like Hush’s side bitches.. you always pump for 14-20s

(Lmao I had no idea where you were going with this when you used that quote. I’m not a huge fan of you using this angle but this was funny. Also “pump for” is weird wording. Im assume no that’s just a phrase y’all use over there. Overall I had this landing though. Funny)

Bars I got plenty..ill put Body in Bags an leave him in Ghost mode
N continue to shoot the cunt til bullet holes surround him like snap chats qr code

(This is pretty tough. I coulda did without the bags/ghost flip but I give leeway on the setups. The punch was nice though. I like the reference. ‘Surround him’ might not have been the best wording but it was fine. Good punch)

Goodfellas make pizza, but gangster moves.. you just a geek witta toy
Ill roll up n have you waking up to a horses head bigger than the Greeks did at Troy

(Damn I’m pretty sure the reference may be going over my head but I’m missing the connection. I’m assuming this is a godfather reference but the goodfella reference is throwing me off. I’m missing what a big horse head would insinuate but tbh idk what the horse head signified in the movie. Ima have to go with I didn’t get this one)

Fuckin pizza pushin faggot.. stfu up, we all know ya gun bars are phoney
Couldn't be more different homie.. just look how I'm serving up 50 Calzone

(Lol I’m a googler and Wikipedia says this is pronounced calzoney in the UK so you get a pass lmaoooooo. But in all seriousness the concept was good but the execution wasn’t quite there. The wording didn’t really work)

Ur a fake & a fraud, I'd never spare a snake from the rod
This holy smoke will leave ur angel dust b4 he can take u to God

(I’m actually a fan of eclectic attack lines like this one but this was just okay at best. The ‘angel dust’ flip was cool, but ‘holy smoke’ wasn’t a good tie in imo and you had nothing else to tie into it)

W/o personals ur WACK, my shoulder's strap cuz my stock long
All he'll see is sticks banging in the air like the beginning of a rock song

(Ha! This is dope to me. Stick bars are on the hot seat right now cus niggas like me lol but I liked this one. Simple but heavy)

For the fast dough, I’ll let the strap blow, like where the stash bro?
Mo’Money Mo’Problems but the issue is...u don’t have any cash Flow

(This was just okay to me. The punch worked but it was a bit to elementary. You woulda needed some stronger tie ins to make this one work)

Slick Rick, MF Doom & sraL...I'm betting this list can’t stop me
Cuz I’m not guessing this Brit’s fav rappers when I give his Top 3

(Yep, I like this one. Pretty creative punch here. My only critique is punches about shooting someone a certain number of times sometimes feel like a cop out because you can essentially use any number lol. Overall, good line though)

If I’m in range of ur wig...I’ll remove the brain from ur lid
I bet if I pull out the Pound this Euro breakdown like change for a quid

(This is fire. Dope concept - good execution)

I’ma pistol whip 'em w/a Tech Ni9e then toss this vandal
He left blood on my gun, now I'm trying to get this Flow off the handle

(I really wanted to like this punch but the connection wasn’t strong enough. From my knowledge, tech doesn’t have a song called off the handle so I don’t think a general statement about his flow is a strong enough connection. This wasn’t bad though. Kind of a creative attack angle. Okay)

I’ll squeeze this natural fruit...fuck letting the deuce blow
All it takes is me twisting his lid...to make Welsh’s creative juice Flow

(Pretty good. Tie ins were good. Creative seems kinda just thrown in there but overall solid closer)


This was a good battle imo. I personally thought this would be BOTW and I wasn’t disappointed. Flow, with your verses, I think the verse as a whole is greater than the sum of each line. Every punch might not be a haymaker but you really get to be essence of battle rap and just break down your opponent line by line.

Good showing, but I will say that out of your three battles this week, this was your third best showing. Not a bad showing at all but just didn’t have the huge punches, angles, and haymakers in this one.

Body good showing as well. You had 1 or 2 misses in there but you had some heat as well including LOTB with the “change for a quid” line. I would like to see you show off your intricate pen a bit more though. You sometimes go over heads with your style which is prob why you shied away from it in this round but I personally look forward to catching those subtle little tie ins.

Overall, this is an even matchup on paper, but I think this is a bit favorable for Body because he doesn’t have too many angles on him and he can land haymakers. Flows at his best when he’s going against vets with plenty of angles to exploit. Flow did an excellent job with the angles he had but I think he slightly got outpunched by Body in this one. Good battle but I gotta edge this to Body.
