Week 3 - Certain Serpent v Mike Wrecka - MW WINS

[Pinot Grij]

Wow... its good to read a battle that's pure entertainment.. both dudes brought high-impact shit and went in two totally different directions. Dope dope dope.

Certain Serpent... dope approach.. basically debunking a bravado verse and exposing it for the hypocrisy of talking violence on the internet... its almost a battle verse intent on shaming.

And who is the victim? The usual prison of youth in the system.
We're abusing the visions of 2Pac and Cube, bruising their image.
These crude indecisions lead us to fusing a spirit
of toothless offenses, not putting in context the fuel for their lyrics.
Step through all the pyrrhics. We've created a brutal appearance,
such that "Slim Thug" creates tunes for the children.
It's a brutal religion, but we're immune to its hatred and anger.
Engaged in the graceless disaster of rape jokes, we emaciate laughter.

That whole section was fire... really hit on the multis to drive the point home. I've seen this theme taken before, but it was still enjoyable and fun to read.

Mike Wrecka... I like how you tackled an aspect of the verse rather than jumping on it whole hog... gave you the opportunity to flesh something else out completely. Very compelling job, I must say. I totally reacted to this verse and its not something I've seen done well before. The ability to include relevant processed ingredients, rhyme them into your scheme and critique the fast food industry... I don't know, everything was at play in this verse, working well to great effect.

I really enjoyed both verses... I've gotta bring this down to a matter of personal interest, as much as I hate to base a vote on that. Because I'm currently reading a book on the ills of the processed food industry (Salt, Sugar Fat... go read it)... I have to say that Mike Wrecka's verse resonated with me a lot more. He really hit on all the actual points that make fast food so dangerous - awful ingredients in the name of convenience, the purposeful use of addictive sugars and manufactured sweeteners... and the kicker:

yes I believe that does it, how much am I in debt,
to use my body as a test tube chemistry set
don't worry I do this every single day,
and the FDA tells me that everything is gonna be ok

Over.

Gotta go with Mike Wrecka on this one. Really really nice stuff man.

Sorry Serp... really nice shit from both you guys. Thanks for the read.
