Hi...

You just joined the NBL and already your rank's heading south
I saw your last battle, its ironic that Sour left a bad taste in your mouth
My niggas are with the shits, they'll bring the guns to knife fights
You'll fuck around and see more shots from the Trae than Oklahoma highlights
Your topics and verses are garbage, every time u post I have to pass
From perverted discussion threads to the NBL, everything you drop is ass
Netcees has a lot of new talent but we all know who the worst is
For u writing is problumatic, difference is u never seem to capitalize off of your verses
You've got no social life, get a girlfriend or even a spouse
House arrest isn't really punishment when u never had plans of leaving the house
Dudes hate your shit, whenever I post they say "Kar went berserk"
I guess you tried telling us with the name, how u can't ever get your concepts to work


Bye...

[Nick James]

ben around for ages, they got u hyped in the mag like ur rappin is rich
u can teach an old dog new tricks but you cant change the fact its a bitch
this is ur early exit in the tourney, ill unload the burner on ur hearse
I guess i gotta find a good defense attorney.. cuz this is murder in the 1st
u aint even on the right track honestly ur a light scrap
now I gotta punch ur ticket.. just to hit somethin thatll fight back
them drums start beatin, u started rappin over mixtapes bout guns for a reason
when I reload this revolver ill dedicate 6 to ur chest n watch ur lungs start wheezin
never knew how to dumb it down cripple u once I gun ya down
now we can pretend its a flyin saucer everytime u pull up in a hover round
nobody saw me comin fuck wat he spits, ur just stuck in the mix
u culd feed this underdog blue ribbon cuz u gave this win up like a gift

[Barcotic]

i mean YO
i def thought unemployed was gonna pull the upset after his first 2 bars
but

karaoke's opener
shots from the trae
problumatic/capitalize

vs

old dog new tricks
murder in the 1st

both unemployed quotes were better than kar's but kar had 1 more, plus his misses were closer to hitting than un's misses
close & i could see it going either way
karaoke slacked, left room for an upset but still took it. IMO

v/karaoke

I see the dog food concept, but I'm not feeling this

Overall even though KK mailed it in, he still had too much for Unemployed to handle. The first two bars were angles I did 9-10 years ago on BBoys, you must be more original, more personal.

[Flow]

Karaoke came consistent, every bar hit. Nothing crazy here but i enjoyed this
You've got no social life, get a girlfriend or even a spouse
House arrest isn't really punishment when u never had plans of leaving the house

Tbh I was surprised because unemployeds verse was dope to me, but that closer missed an nothing that hit hit harder then karokes best so have to edge it to him

VOTE KK

[Nick James]

3-0 karoake

[Suthaveli]

Karaoke had a gd show. I rly didn't care for the trae line.

vs

unemployment had a gd show as well. I didn't care for his last bar tho.


this was actually a gd read imo. so i had to think about this as a whole & i felt @karaoke edged it. i actually read this battle 3x & had to do 3 diff breakdowns to pretty much put into perspective. my 1st breakdown i actually had unemployed taking it. but when i broke it down the other 2 ways it came in favor of karaoke. i did it 3 ways because it was real close t0 me. jobless may have had the stronger bars. but the one bar i didn't like out of each of ya, i did feel karaoke was stronger & he killed w. smoother transition of punchlines too. plus karaoke gets really personel w.his detective wrk. so yea. unemployment steez reminds me of @murda sho a bit. but its been awhile.
gd match tho

That wheezing line was viscous, but Kare was just better. I lol'd at house arrest.

Karaoke had the consistency, no real stingers but no real misses
Unemployed started off hot with the first 2 lines, they were nice
Then just kinda trailed off
Overall cool battle here but came down to misses
