Adverse - Definitely enjoyed your verse. I do find the last couplet of your first half to be stretched and not flowing as smoothly, as if you just wanted to finish it off but didn't care as much about wording here. Same kinda thing with the first couplet in the second half, a little bit half-assed rhyming and forced internals-kind of feel that's off meter. It did justice to getting the point across but flow don't match up well to me when reading it out loud. You pull it together with the following couplet tho which is dope, and then we're back to the same issue I had with the first couplet only that it feels stretched this time around.
"So discreet i sidestepped a ruined the formation of your rows of sheep"
^had to read this one twice due to the "sidestepped a ruined the formation", took a little bit away from the overall feel of your verse while reading. Rushing to the finish line?

Of god...
^Dope closure.

Overall good but I feel like you could have polished that second half a bit better, and maybe shortened or added a few syllables here and there in the first but in terms of the latter it's nitpicking. Good shit.

MMLP - Haven't read anything from you in ages so this'll be interesting. First 4 lines catches my attention and keeps me going.

Extreme nitpicking but I think the word "just" is misplaced or just don't fit for some reason here:
Ctrl+alt+delete and their problems would just vanish.
We’d opted for easier ways because we wanted an advantage
Either that or something with the second line, Idk. It reads a little bit off to me compared to everything else so far which has been buttery smooth, I think that's why I picked up on it too while reading. Either way it's a dope couplet so it doesn't detract anything away from the piece as a whole. Maybe I'm just reading it wrong? Idk, it is what it is. From there on out tho it's buttery.

Vote: Solid drops from both, MMLPs verse is not as good emotionally or story-wise as Adverse but he got the flow, multis and all that on lock with a thought provoking piece to go with it and follows the topic. This one is seriously hard for me to choose who to pick so I'll have to go with personal preference which I try not to do. I've read each verse a couple of times, skimmed through here and there to see if there's more I can pick apart but there isn't really much to go on.
Adverse hit some good shit with emotionally driven lines and a good captivating story, MMLP stayed on topic as well and had a better showing overall in terms of technical abilities so he's edging it for me here. For this reason MMLP gets my vote. If Adverse had put a little bit more time in on his second half I think he would have snatched it. Solid battle with great drops I enjoyed reading, hated to vote on it tho, lol.
