ORC's Verse



Who bars stopping Burds?

A large sloppy nerd on a heart-stopping splurge!?
My guyyy. You look like Seth if he ever lost to another Barcotic verse
A 285lb ginger guy that can barely run
Knew I’d see an Ugly Orange Sweater. I didn’t think you’d be wearing one
Heavyset Hipster is oneee helluva look, bud
That Muscle ain’t Relaxed. It’s wearing a Kimono & getting a Foot Rub
This massive blob’s done. He had a traaagic prom run
No girls grabbed his johnson.. rap name shoulda been no-Action Bronson
You CANT see me. Fuck a big Blind kid
Rocking frames so damn Thickkk they’d be at home in a 6ix9ine vid
A pale Ginger slob whos weights certainly gaining
This nerd is amazing. You look like you get Sunburn when it’s Raining
PLEASE man, listen. Don’t eat that biscuit!
2metre Griffin. Waistband COVID friendly how it Keep that Distance
A Gatekeeper for text. My style totalllly godly
If you Hold the Door too it’s because Bran Stark took over ya body




UserName's Verse






I think I’m quitting this league; I just don’t have the time y’all
To diss a guy’s hair, that looks like someone glued drapes over drywall
I bet you take a pause to swallow
It’s all rocky when you have a neck like the topographical map of Colorado
You’re a stealthy guy, I bet you do a ton of moving in silence
With a neck so long, his special skill is tying his shoes with his eyelids
I bet you rock jeans with a flare cut, I’m not saying I care, but…
I definitely can’t call any man straight who rocks handlebars as a haircut
And that ‘Stache… Jesus, I know you and Blue messaged for hours
But switch it up, man… I already battled two Dirty Sanchez’s at Prowlers
neck is muscular as fuck, like you couldn't stop at first
looks like you held your breath, and haven't stopped since birth
We're engaged in battle, but I don't even feel like dissin' his pics
Our war pales in comparison to the one he's had with his barber... since he was six
If there’s A Land Before Time, then your neck’s the type to beat me
But Instead it looks like it craves adventures with Cera, Ducky, Spike and Petrie

Not particularly feeling this either

Enjoyable battle. I’ve got ugly orange sweater and sunburn as my two favourites. Probably muscle relaxed 3rd and then the drapes / handlebars lines from user. Based on this and the fact I preferred the rest of Orcs verse to Users, I’m gonna say the Mexican Irishman took this pretty comfortably.

Vote - Orc

Mvgt Orc
Not close, but cool battle

[Enbombz]

Orc-
ugly sweater was lulz/dope
Waistband, kimono and gatekeeper again we’re all good
Sunburnt , action weren’t bad, basic but alright.
Opener wasn’t up to much.

Username -

Land before time was dope and lulz again.
Pales in comparison was good
Dirty sanchez and Colorado were alright
Rest were worded comedically enough but pretty basic not bad not great.

Entertaining battle though guys. Foot say Orc edged it clearly enough for me but I enjoyed user’s verse too. Both had a quality too them.

funny opener, a bit on the simple side but it lands

A 285lb ginger guy that can barely run
Knew I’d see an Ugly Orange Sweater. I didn’t think you’d be wearing one

This is clever, I like it

Heavyset Hipster is oneee helluva look, bud
That Muscle ain’t Relaxed. It’s wearing a Kimono & getting a Foot Rub

This is jokes

This massive blob’s done. He had a traaagic prom run
No girls grabbed his johnson.. rap name shoulda been no-Action Bronson

Also funny but this one doesn't land quite as hard as the others, I think you could've taken a better angle to this

You CANT see me. Fuck a big Blind kid
Rocking frames so damn Thickkk they’d be at home in a 6ix9ine vid

cool, current reference

A pale Ginger slob whos weights certainly gaining
This nerd is amazing. You look like you get Sunburn when it’s Raining

Another one that I'd prefer some more complexity to

PLEASE man, listen. Don’t eat that biscuit!
2metre Griffin. Waistband COVID friendly how it Keep that Distance

Decent, even though I'm already kinda tired of covid bars as a whole

A Gatekeeper for text. My style totalllly godly
If you Hold the Door too it’s because Bran Stark took over ya body

Good closer, I think maybe the wording could've been a bit smoother though



I think I’m quitting this league; I just don’t have the time y’all
To diss a guy’s hair, that looks like someone glued drapes over drywall

Funny, more on the simple side though

I bet you take a pause to swallow
It’s all rocky when you have a neck like the topographical map of Colorado

This is funny, still a bit simple but more creative than the previous bar imo

You’re a stealthy guy, I bet you do a ton of moving in silence
With a neck so long, his special skill is tying his shoes with his eyelids

Nah I wasnt really feeling this one, too abstract & weird for my preference

I bet you rock jeans with a flare cut, I’m not saying I care, but…
I definitely can’t call any man straight who rocks handlebars as a haircut

Still too far on the spectrum of simplicity for me

And that ‘Stache… Jesus, I know you and Blue messaged for hours
But switch it up, man… I already battled two Dirty Sanchez’s at Prowlers

cool

neck is muscular as fuck, like you couldn't stop at first
looks like you held your breath, and haven't stopped since birth

nah not really feeling this angle

We're engaged in battle, but I don't even feel like dissin' his pics
Our war pales in comparison to the one he's had with his barber... since he was six

okay

If there’s A Land Before Time, then your neck’s the type to beat me
But Instead it looks like it craves adventures with Cera, Ducky, Spike and Petrie

really not a fan of the overall wording and execution here. Concept is okay, but I think you could've run with this in a different way

Overall LOTB for me was ugly orange sweater from Orc. Both sides kinda had similar styles and a lot of jokes which made this a fun read, but I think Orc took some wittier angles, and I think his general word choice just resonated with me more and was slightly more creative. Flow/multis don't really have much of an impact on my vote, but I think orc had a considerable advantage in those categories as well.

Dope battle from both sides

Overall mvgt Orc

Fire one here, fellas. As both of these guys specialize in pic battles, I was really looking forward to this.. & y'all didn't disappoint. Orc's verse read super smooth & direct to me; he really shaved down his word count while still being direct & effective in delivering his punches.. that's not easy to do. User's verse did much of the same; it read conversationally while still being diss-heavy w/ impactful sting & kept a humorous tone throughout. The bars I bolded really stood out to me. Overall, Orc had a couple more lines that I felt hit & was just slightly more consistent.. not to take anything away from User. Definitely wanna read more from you two

v/ Orclando Bloom

[Saint]

Entertaining battle... thought it was a bit closer than it looks. Opener was jokes.. was Ok. Ugly Orange Sweater looks more like a button up but still give it to you. Also had - No action bronson, closer

User whole verse was mostly straight humor. Thought your closer & Colorado lines were cool. Didn't quite have the clever/harsh bars to match Orcs best IMO.. but I did enjoy the read.. liked the wording too

Vote Orc

[Vengeance]

I don't know if people recently returning (15-20 years ago I used 'Mahatma') get to vote here, so consider this an opinion if not a vote..

Orc took this convincingly for me, which isn't to say Username wasn't good but the humour and effortlessness in Orc's delivery, as well as the more targetted references, made the punches land all the more effectively. The ugly orange sweater and the foot rub bars are great, set ups included.

Appreciated reading this, much respect to both.

[Flow]

Yo I got orc taking this but it was a dope battle. The issue I had was users last few bars were all straight misses to me. Well, that's not fair. They all had idea sin there just executed in a way which was on a statement did not things, which orc also did, but the angles and execution of orcs were ultimately more lol worthy. Also orc had so many clever bars that took you by surprise which added weight, the ginger sweater one was a perfect example. No one saw that coming an if they say they did they lying.

Anyway top battle but orc takes it comfortably for me.
