[Split]

Coup.
quick note, feel like your rhythm is a bit off at times, like retina/parasite bar is mismatched. I usually don't care about syllable count, but it was noticeably off thru your verse as I read it

gopher
what does gopher have to do with anything

most beautiful things are blind <- seems to be the theme that really took hold in the second half of the verse

Like you compared seeing and appearances and the struggle to understand, and then the bliss of sight without seeing and the ease of mind that comes with non-excessive scrutiny

Good imagery and descriptive language. impressive topic development with a slow start

Cake.
wasn't too lyrical to start, not at the level your drops are usually at.
heartless imitation/ spark of innovation was nicely placed

A lot of catchy phrases that upped the appeal of the verse.. rose in the limestone, fortunate son/ credence, etc

Overall I liked the imagery and wording, even though it aired (erred?) on the side of Blackethy. I think I read this a few days ago and the "careful where your advice is from" really opened up the verse, but now I don't see it anymore.


Pretty good battle. I think Cake's verse was more notable but purely based on aesthetics, like it rhymed nicelyier. Coup attacked the topic really well, and was a little less opaque so
