lol I'm not crazy about the phonetic pronunciation of this wp but the execution is decent and the bar itself is jokes 8/10

can see the print thru my pants, so ur girl can't stay calm
incredible hulk when describing this Hiroshima say it's the bomb

Eh not really feeling the execution here and the wp again kinda feels forced 7/10

enter a cypher to jeers & leave with guts layed on the ground
u'll hear Booyaka do better, right before my toolie makes the same sound

Nah, i like the overall idea but again the wordplay here needs work 6/10

ur girl drawn to my pipe, tugs it raw rough or soft
she pause til Demagnetizer then helps me get the nut off

This is cool. I guess my only qualm is that "magnetizer" essentially means the same thing in both interpretations of the double entendre 8/10

so stop & think before insulting pleth, it'll get u closer to death
cuz anyone dissing Miata Weight, or get 2400 pounds ran over their chest

Also cool. Wp and execution all pass the test even though I think I've seen the wp more than once before, it's just missing some kind of x-factor that really lands in haymaker territory for me 8/10

ur girl showed up in a ponytail & overnight bag for the slob
she was on a mission with a backpack & her hair up- Lara Croft

Eh nah I'm not really feeling this one so much, falls a bit on the simplistic spectrum and felt like a bit of a step down from your other bars. 7/10


44 / 60 -- 73.33%


no shit

This is really creative, the execution is well done and I like the wording. There's just something about it that doesn't quite feel like a total haymaker, but technically it ticks all the marks. I guess I'm just not a fan of aliasing coffins/graves as squares. This was still a pretty strong punch. 8.5/10

Sticks allll on me - camouflaged the suit to get the droppp on you..
And stay lowww with the Pistol...Squat down to get a leg up I do Crossfit Moves

This is decent, but it all feels a bit abstract and weird. 8/10

U're lame... I thought secluded w/ depression was my WORST pain
Blue forced me UP from under a rock; Reminds me of ur fat bitches reverse rape

Nah I wasn't feeling this one 7/10

Sluts mouth nasty as sin. always gotta durex on smashing it in..

I like the overall idea here, but the singularity of the execution just holds it back for me. 8/10

Sinking lower in the ranks - in contenders we ain't see 'em board..

Ship/championship concepts have been done before, just as the letter concept has been. I appreciate that this is a new and more modern angle but I don't think there's enough here to make it feel fresh. 7/10

Hindsight is 2020 - we don't follow ur concepts this standard year
Even the twist.. looks back at your setups & asks "what the fuck happens here"

Nah I'm not really feeling this. Maybe I just don't understand the bar, since I'm not sure who/what the twist is supposed to be. My best guess is it has something to do with the oliver twist remake but I'm not sure where the tie-in is. Unless it's even more simple than that and you're just talking about the twist in any plot, at which case yeah this is a miss for me. Either way, 6/10


44.5 / 60 -> 74.17%


Overall, I think the biggest setback to Aura's verse was that a number of his phonetic wordplays were forced, which I'm really not a fan of. Otherwise, he was fairly consistent and I think if he raise his standards for himself with regard to what kinds of wps he's dropping, he can be a beast. INF's verse felt more safe, and even though I did think it have some weak points, I think he was able to very narrowly edge this out. LOTB was definitely square space by a fairly comfortable margin, arguably it should be a 9/10 bar. Either way, it made a considerable difference in the outcome of this battle.

Overall MVGT - Inf

[Ryno]

I liked Auras opener. Demagnetizes was nice too. Some wps were iffy. Couple lines felt light as worded. Square space, CrossFit, & pec bounce won this for INF. Good battle from both.

I thought both of these verses were pretty forced. Had to read Answers breakdown to actually understand some of them. But I think Inf was a little more coherent alot of Auras wordplays didnt really work for me.

[FGR]

I like the wordplay on pleths opener but I thought it didn't hit that hard..seems like in ended lazy...the bomb line was a miss for me...I like booyaks but seemed forced..still ok tho..but off was alright .closer was cool..overall it was a okay verse.mive def seem way better from pleth but it was still alright..jabs thru out.. infs opener I was feeling... Wasn't crazy hard but it hit..crossfit hit too.. not really a Haymarket but def a cool bar..fat bitchrs n gym bars were a miss for me.. I thought the ship line was decent...overall just a stronger verse than pleths.. u had a few decent hits and a miss or two..cool verse . VOTE INF

cool battle overall, close misses from both. squarespace is LOTB I'm going with INF for a more consistent verse. if Aura is plethora I remember seeing a lot of dope stuff from him. joaquin line was really funny to me. close match.
