Witty - I must say your drop was a hard act to follow. From what I read you showed an excellent example of delivery. The flow of your rhyme really made the content of your story interesting and I found it to be an enjoyable read. It had a lot of meaning to it, my favorite part of your verse was the beginning of the second paragraph when you said:
"He smiles as she dies with a roar, spilling her insides on he floor
Then mutilates her vagina with the knife, and inscribes it with 'Whore'
Now he's crying once more.
He says he didn't mean to kill his friend, he just kinda got bored
And in a split second he gets mad again and splits her spine with a sword"
That caught me by surprise! Because I was thinkin to myself, "damn he needed a friend so badly to the point where he had to kill somebody just so he wouldn't be alone?" That turned your character from a lost soul to a crazy and deranged, mentally strange human being that was in search of one of the things that society take for granted which is friendship. And unfortunately this is how some people in society become, not to this level right here. At the same time, they can become bad people trying to do what they feel is for a good reason. And I think you did an excellent job of displaying that.
Dead Man - You came very strong with your piece. Similar to Witty, you also displayed a good flow and rhyme scheme. This helped bring your content to life. It also was an enjoyable read if I may say so myself. You did a good job illustrating your story as well,
"i was born to be a leader. i'm a captain, a king
armored falcon, windstorm generator flapping his wings
democratically bring totalitarianism
create a village of widows so i can marry the victims
terrorist minions. third-eye blinded to empirical systems"
You were very lyrical in this piece you wrote. It kind of reminded of a young Nas or Talib Kweli, which is really saying alot. Keep that pen moving because you I truly believe you show alot of promise. However, I had a hard time understanding exactly what your topic was about. So this really made it difficult for me to give you an edge in this battle.
Overal - Witty was on point with his story, it flowed extremely well throughout and it had a beginning and end, unfortunately Dead Man it just didn't quite register for me, it was as if you were just rhyming about multiple topics one minute our country is at war and the next your telling me your the captain or a born leader? Unless you were saying you can lead this country out of what it is today? I'm not sure.
Vote - Witty
