Eviction had SOME good bars such as “ intercepted by irritability when I’m scared of the truth”. Nice succinct line. For the most part though, your lines clumsy, bulky and said too little in too much space, often repeating a concept twice in one line which is just pure amateur shit unless you’re going for some slick double entendre (you weren’t). Some lines were just pure nonsense filler (daring you to stare at the moon? Lol) or simply Badly executed/way too basic to have impact. Furthermore you have jarring instances of moving from first person to third person “I’m mr nice guy…blah blah” line which just are plain bad and confusing. Fugitives crucifix satans tutelage, that whole scene was dope and you actually had a nice close to that scheme with the shadow line - then you follow it up with some utterly wack shit “quagmires in chronological order” - what? Bad grammar (stretchers in secretive) that doesn’t even belong in middle school. Rest of the verse is more of the same. So it’s about a fat guy who kills himself slowly by eating burgers? Lol…nice, man. Overall this verse has like 3 good sections of lines, is inconsistent, basic, has bad grammar and ok flow. It’s below average in an era of below average topical leagues (maybe not if Frank dead man dom adverse etc stay in & we get Lars/universe or something for playoffs)
Adverse : ok, adverse just had a stronger grasp on mechanics, delivery, Pretty much everything except flow (which let’s be honest is the easy part even though it’s such an important component of hip hop/manpoetry). Enough scheme & thematic switches to keep you engaged throughout…whole opening part was dope. Now the autobiography…an anthropomorphic rendition of death using a skeletal writer as his hierophany, in a way, Pretty clever (if not TOO deep) but delivered in a way open to myriad interpretation. Ok nvm so it’s his lover and he dies for crossing the taboo boundary between human & diety. Very Aristophanes, very Greek tragedy. Dope verse, man.
Vote - easily adverse
