This was a pretty close and decent battle.

But, maaaan. More of these weird word combination punches (adolescent... forklift.. etc). I guess that’s what this site has decided it likes, and that is what it is, but I don’t see the appeal at all.. unless there’s a clear double meaning that works both ways. Typing words that happen to sound like several other words combined together, by itself, isn’t witty. It comes off so forced.

That said, the second verse (Chamber or Allen Knight or whomever) was the better verse of the two. Leaving aside the issue above, he had some cool concepts and it read/flowed much better than the first verse. Maybe the only thing worse than those odd word combos are back to back bars that are really long. There’s just no way to read that in any kind of natural way. And the first verse’s ideas/concepts weren’t quite as good as the second, anyway. So, Chamber wins, in a close one.
