Eviction:

This was cool. Like last weeks verse you had great multi's and flow... really enjoyed the technical aspects here. Story was kind of... lacking. No real characters or plot but more of an overview about... events leading to a New Years party? I guess. Kind of confused about the point of it, but you had an effortless precision here that was fairly hypnotic. Some lines really surprised me...

"We all have vices, none of us have a common goal,
Of quitting when problems toll, we all fall like dominoes.
That’s why my motto is simple, like a knock-knock joke.
I want the smoke and never worry about some moral code"

- Really liked this part.

You kind of faded to some rant-type Open Mic shit in the middle there that seemed out of place, but was still well done. Ended with the New Years angle which is relevant and works well enough. I think if you focused on more of an actual story and maintain your technical abilities that you've shown as of late, you would have a good mixture for success. You've got to have all the elements of a topical nailed down to consistently win... I think you're getting there. Keep it up. I'm enjoying these latest pieces from you.


Master Rock:

You are so hit and miss man lol, it's crazy. Sometimes your bars are spot on and impressive, other times they are a rambling mess, either technically or visually, or both. You bounce back and forth between these two with unfortunate ease, and it's a little chaotic at times, but that's your vibe. You are organized chaos and there's a beauty there that I can't quite put my finger on... And in the end, the good outweighs the bad for me.

That said, as I'm reading I'm noticing that even the good bars have grammatical mistakes in them - I'm always spotting wording issues and sometimes, there are words that are just not there at all, or preceeded by a word that makes no sense. For eg:

"they bring the in bulls to trample our herd
power to the people we speak.. while we starving to just to get a morsel eat"

- The wording mistakes in both lines break up the flow and make it tough to read. As a reader we shouldn't have to assume anything or fill in the blanks; We should just be digesting what you are trying to say, and nothing else.

I liked the middle section though. You sort of had a "call to arms" angle and "rallied the troops", preaching to us. I really liked the feel of it...

"deep down in our psyche we tossing and turning so much that it's disturbing our sleep and such
wake up!!! So many out there with their eyes wide shut
but who's woke?
if you rely on chitter-chatter quotes these words without action
will equal no hope"

- This was just a crazy good section that I wished continued on for way longer.

Ending bit was well done as well - You have something important to say in this piece and when you say it coherently, it's a thing to behold. Unfortunately, so many good lines are ruined by poor grammar and missing words, or extra words, as mentioned before. I think if you edit more and clean this all up you will be a force in this league for sure. You kind of already are though, since you're in contenders lol. But you have tons of room to grow and get better... which is scary cuz you're already quite good when you want to be.

This was a tough battle to choose a winner. Eviction wins technically and with flow, but Master Rock had a better story and had an actual message behind his words. I also think he got better as he went on, while Eviction started strong but ended sort of iffy.

I went back and forth on this one but, considering Eviction SIGNED OUT of a contenders match, I'm siding with Master Rock here for overall tone and substance... and because he clearly wants it more. That means something.

Sooo close though.
