Neigh -
You get extension after extension; bullets rain for repeatin ya bullshit.
Saw you took a bite out the Mag last week; now they'll see you eatin a full clip.
Dope bar even though you should be embarrassed to claim that inno wordplay as your own, even if it IS from a mag. That said, it's a little lacking in the freshness department which holds in back from haymaker status. 8.5/10
The same tired wp's & flips.. @
Answer's breakdown described the whole thing.
Can telegraph shows the difference in connection between us when ALL ya lines are phoned-in.
Wp is cool, tie-ins are cool though they are a bit abstract in meaning on the surface 8.5/10
Bitch, I got gunner optics; that red dot on the chrome's new.. let sparks fly.
The only Gunnar Optiks you got block out blue light while you comb through the Archives.
The wp/concept is fire, I really wish you took a different angle than him searching through the archives. Think I would've preferred a generic concept in this case. 8/10
We ain't cut from the same cloth, it's actually hysterical.
Cause I wear the League on my sleeve --
Naming yaself "Letterman" was the closest you'll come to bein made of Champion material.
The overall execution and wording is all on point, but the letterman idea as a whole is gonna be hard to make fresh 7.5/10
This win's signed, sealed, delivered; no one's sayin ya verse'll be better.
That means even if you're informal body you.. & I ain't even have to get personal, Letter.
I like the concept and the tie-in, the execution could use a little more 8.5/10
They'll have to ice ya instantly when my rounds split you like a line of symmetry.
Doubt I'm better w/ a pen? These tracers'll outline Letter w/ the lead like calligraphy.
The idea is dope, but if I'm nitpicking the letter would also be written in lead so it kinda makes the concept weaker. 8/10
You play w/ the 1911's? Me too.. mine'll leave ya face disfigured.
Wake up in ICU; the Springfield Power Plant you next to Burns like Waylon Smithers.
This is cool, burns/smithers I've seen done before but this is more intricate and tied into his bar from last week. I'm not crazy about the execution on the simpsons side, though. 8/10
Captain of the football team actin tough til the muzzle stare 'em down.
Cause if this jock strap's itching to pull off the waist, I bet a cup'll air you out.
lol this is an okay closer, there's a lot going on here but I'm not a huge fan of the concept and it does feel slightly phoned in. 7.5/10
64.5 / 80 -> 80.625%
Letter -
Think I’m fake? I’ll catch him on the street then I air & erase em
& Just to prove that I’m real, I’ll keep clicking on the crosswalk - Human Verification
The overall idea is fire, but clicking just doesn't feel like a very strong verb for shooting someone 8.5/10
Fuck a vest.. It’s all headshots if I pull the pound on squares
I’ll take the sweeper & start banging on Neighbor’s roof like it’s too loud upstairs
Nah, unfortunately I've seen this idea done before, possibly more than once, and it was almost verbatim to this - so I can't give you points for a new angle on an old idea. Otherwise, this is decent. 7/10
U enjoyed ur streak? Well I’m the worst threat to this clown’s survival
It’s ironic.. you thought the funnel last, but it ended up leading you to a downward spiral
Not really feeling this one, telling someone "the fun wont last" as your primary diss just feels kid'ish. Could also be better executed. 7/10
Online tryna prove you’re a boss. I’ll swing a hatchet at this pretender
He acts like a big man in the post, so don’t call it foul play when I start hacking his center
Kind of an amalgam of old ideas but this is decent. 8/10
U scrape girls from the bottom of the barrel. Nobody wants yo bitch
I’ve even seen ur ixnay, & she’s someone that I wouldn’t even hold a normal convo with
Not a fan of the ex/ix wordplay phonetically even though it's not thattt bad. I think the tie-in could've been stronger here, though. 7.5/10
Now I’m in a different bag cuz last week he made such a splash
So this shit is like a bankruptcy notice - u only got this Letter because you fucked up Cash
The letter and cash ideas are both old concepts, so I generally look for new, fresh angles to justify using them and I didn't feel like this was out-of-the-box enough to justify it. It's also kind of a compliment to your opponent since the main punchline is that he fucked up his opponent last round. This one's a miss for me 6/10.
U havent shown growth or development, yet u excel around ur peers,
So how can they say my opp’s elite, when he’s had that same worn out style for years
Again, this is a slight a phonetic stretch but not thatt bad and if you had written "obsolete" instead, I don't think I would've understood the bar. 7.5/10
Wanna compare crews? My team carries snubs & we’re hoping for blood
But I doubt that nasal spray, & thats the reason why u’ll get opened up with the nose
I had a somewhat similar Nasal Spray bar against Neigh in the past, and I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess others have done it as well. I do like the opened up with the nose tie-in, but it just feels weaker because I know it's been done. 8/10
59.5 / 80 -> 74.37%
Overall, I don't think Neigh slept on his opponent for his second. IMO, I think this was a better performance than his Cash verse and he was remarkably consistent throughout. Letterman had a really solid verse, I don't think there were any examples of those "strappado" type wordplays that bothered me in his last 2 verses, but the main downfall here I think was just creativity. Unfortunately I've seen the sweeper banging on the roof idea done before, done the Nasal Spray bar against Neigh before myself, and the Cash/Letter bar was just too much of a repetition of old ideas without a new enough spin on them. That being said, I think Letter's verse still would've been hard to beat for at least half the league, I just think Neigh was firing on all cylinders and it was enough to give him a convincing lead.
Good battle from both sides
