If you see me again ...
The air becomes Spanish profanity. A knife's produced.
It shimmers for one hopeless second, slicing through as the white consumes the table, unleashed, while the staring match enables a peace, the slightest truce amid careless acts. One wave of the heat. One chamber release. Ruckus ensues. Ducking, I move from range of the AR-15, lying, splayed in between the sofa and wall. Then, surveying the scene, holding them off, the enemy enters the frame of my scope, sentenced to die. But while aiming the blow, I catch a glimpse of his eyes. |

Blacketh -- Dope for a 10 liner. Nice twist on the subject. I lol'd when i read that serpent line...i felt like it was a subliminal shot at certain (u know cuz his name used to be certain serpent). I mean obviously for such a short verse it was really straight forward, but you allowed some depth in your language and wording. Very strong (short) verse.
Certain -- I really like "moment in time" pieces and this was strong. The rhyme scheme carried me like a rocking ship, which had its up and its downs (see what i did there?). I thought, for the topic, the directional choice was a bit poor partially because there was less space to build upon it, but mostly because it was such an easy path. Overall -- I felt that Black came with something more relatable (que the veterans) and that beyond that are of critique both put a strong verse in that could swing it either way. Cheers guys.

This is hard to vote on
U guys went in complete opposite directions. .....i feeo like certain almost did it on purpose. If im him an i seen black dropped something based solely on seemingly personal experience and relatability then it makes sense to go opposite spectrum an write something fictional and action oriented. Or none of thats tru an sometimes i think about things in a weird way. Regardless i enjoyed certains story more then the melancholy narative of black quitting cigs for the 19th time. Blacks schemes were crisper....but not by much. He was more subtle and refined but i was diggin the more raw approach by certain here. V certain |

I gotta be honest, going into this I thought ten lines would be make both verses suck since there wouldn't be enough room for content, but I was wrong. These ten liners were better than most of the verses in the AOWL last season. True story.
Both of you were better in one aspect. Black had the better rhymes, and Certain had the better concept. Black's verse flowed effortlessly, while I wondered what was going to happen next in Certain's verse. The vote all boils down to which one of these things a reader prefers, rhymes or content. I like the rhymes the most, so black gets my vote. Cool stuff, brahs. A 10 line league doesn't seem like a bad idea. |

Close battle. I liked both concepts. Certains seemed a bit stretched, but more movie-like. If it were to be a movie it'd be Tarantino or Scorcese. If deadmans was a movie it'd be Muccino or Ayoade. Deadman showed a bit more connectivity on my behalf after about 5 reads for each. And that's what I was looking for. Seemed certain needed 15 lines.

Black had a solid verse. Love Te vocab, multis were great. Awesome flow. Solid as usual.
Certains verse was okay. Hard finding to flow. Structure was good. Not as deep and polished as dead man tho. Pretty clear to me Vote - dead man
