It's been a while!


Where are the name battlers? I expected a legend or two
There are just no names in this league - Exhibit A: You
To be fair we’re mostly aliases, so who you were had me guessin’
But I checked….
…..You’ve been here the whole time but just made fuck-all impression!
Still I could learn from you, I mean you’re a teacher right?
You must be, the way you cleaned up after all the class left the site
I last battled back in ‘07, repping B-Boys in its prime
You were an ‘07 battler as well, and will be again in seven weeks time
LetsBeef.com; thought it was gay porn and you were the main whore
Then I read your verses…..
….. And I was at least half-right because you were fucking ass for sure
I’m rewriting history, going against the shitty style of these times
And you’re rewriting history, everytime you post a verse of bitten lines
I hate gun lines from internet posers who never made a gat cough
This bitch can’t even move iron while he’s trying to shake the rust off
You’re an uninspired hack, so you’ll be using Covid lines no doubt
Oh well, at least the news has finally given you a CV worth talking about

@Larkin verse due tonight

[Larkin]

Apologies for the delay, hard to keep track of the days.

I'm...

Used to facing the best, seeing your name made me sad, I won’t fucking pretend
But it won’t get me down… every cloud, all good things must come to an End
You little shit the stuff you write is full of lies, any respect he earned is fake
I’ll pass him over the staff of Moses and give you stick for turning snake
In the BA Rookie Tourny, you bombed vs Bomb Bard, your lucky he no showed in it
You’ll “make the AR-15 start to rattle”…
All you got was “nice flow” feedback for a gunbar gimmick
You suck…
“Bernies a commie” but your quick to grab your stimulus cash, I ain’t having that
Only time Ender “clapping back” is for doctors out his apartment flat wearing a MAGA hat
You hypocrite...
Desperate to be respected, but w/out me voters ain’t rating what you penned
You after-credits like Marvel specials but no ones staying here for the End
And I don’t believe in precognition, world ending perceptions, sixth sense, revere…
Yet how come every year I see kids sensing fear whenever the End is near
Paedo, that 30% was generous Blue, and fuck anyone who doesn’t think he sucks
Predicting I won’t BURN E then your “Pixar trash” they belong on Disney+
And I’ll end the discussion quicker than Ender discussing his chances of winning
^ You’ve got a better chance being cast as the villain in a film Barcotic’s written

Ender

Left the site, ass for sure, shake the rust off, closer

Larkin

Opener, turning snake, here for the end, end is near

Solid verses from both. I felt like ender started picking up steam towards the end of his verse. That shake the rust off line was probably my fav of the battle. Larkin was consistent through out his verse. Thought his marvel line was his best of the verse. Honestly pretty even I think lark spent to many bars on ender flips. Overall though I’m going with ender that rust off line was slick. Thanks for showing.

Read Ender's verse before Larkin ever posted and thought it was a weird read, not the typical battle verse i was used to seeing, you can tell he's cut from a different cloth definitely. I liked the ass for sure, rust off bars, Larkin had some decent ideas but execution fell flat on quite a few as well, really liked the Moses staff bar, thought you spent way too much time on political content and should have been a little more clever/harsh. I don't know, Ender stuck out more to me so I'd give him the W. Good work.

Enders first two bars were filler... Clean up class line was alright tho....
07 battler was ok... Ass line was a miss for me..
Rewriting history has been done before... Shake rust was okay... Closer was also alright..

Overall nothing that hit hard but you was throwing jabs that were landing here and there..

Lark had a ok opener..for some reason how it was worded made me stumble a little ready it..
Moses was cool.. next couple bars was mehh
Seen where u were going with the marvel line but it barely connected for me..no hate
Disney plus was okish... Closer was a miss

Vote ender
To much of Larkin's fell flat to me

[Clout]

Ender had ass for sure, clean up class that stood out to e. He had a different approach to writing.

Larkin wasnt feeling anything from him. He might just need to adjust and adapt to the style here.

Vote Ender

It seem like you both are topical types trying to battle. Larkin verse had more misses than Ender.
