Ran this league 14 weeks without a hitch now everyone wants to start bitching. It’s lovely I missed it

That’s word

It’s funny how it turned out like that…. Kind of dope we both took a similar direction.


And now that it’s over… @dead man

states Rays up to stake their power
jockying Plaice to Skate or Flounder
left us Flat Fishin’ in problems past fixin

U were right about wordplay

Rays, skates, plaice, flounder are all “flat fish”
But the wordplay was def secondary, I didn’t expect a lot of ppl to get it, I was hoping the content carried, and if someone caught it kudos for them.

But good sht @Mike Wrecka

If I vote on that champ match I'm only reading like 30 / 60 lines if you aint won the battle in 60 lines no one deserves to win tbh.

@Mike Wrecka
First half of your verse is so tight and dope. Props

2nd half not bad just not as spectacular

So, I don’t know what to do with that...

...Vote = lower the line limits

I've felt this way so many times about text matches in the writing leagues.
I don't feel like making a detailed criticism of both verses, of why I didn't like either verse, that could make both parties feel pretty bad. And who was less bad? And longgggg.

@Universe props man your votes are sometimes the highlight of the friggin link. And I may have skimmed that verse you mentioned that you said was the best of the season but I will give it a proper read this weekend.

I've only peeped about 2-3 weeks out of these 15.
I've realized I don't even like topical writing.Or traditional battle verses.
Just wanna write a few songs.

Random notes:
Read the @dead man verse last week.
we hustled our dope relentlessly
while our enemies were shaving up soap, calling it ketamine
benzodiazepine, potent and sniff
if you're on patrol, you know what it is
-best part IMO

I'm not an elitist just reading dead man and Universe. And earlier Dominate & Eviction. When I'm more free I will try to catch up on reading some more weeks of everyone.
I did read this Frank-NYC champ match.
Both great rhymers but both could come up with way better material. Sorry, I don' t have a winner so Rock better explain his vote.
