Low key, Grind Time, KOTD, and Don't Flop used to judge battles all the time around the mid 2000s. SMACK/URL? Maybe a few times but who knows they probably want to avoid nikkas getting pissed or saying they got robbed when the battle is judged (example: Aye Verb vs. T-Rex for that $10k Diddy put up). They should do it where to there is just extra money going to the winner which I think KOTD does with the chain.
Thank you. This is all I'm trying to say. Yet I get attacked for saying it but no one else does.

Yet you skipped over the part where I asked specific questions to keep the conversation about the bars and bars only.

Bruh, over half the time we fans acting we work for the leagues we always watch. Knowin good and cot damn we don't know them fools or their business like that. No matter how much we know. Lol. So it is what it is.

You know I’ve learned the science of rockets
As my thought process at meek
You’re a hobby at peak, I’m like the league doctor’s doctrine
You’re adopted, incompetent, weak
I’m about to pull every compliment out of confident weak
I can see you, bopping the beat box on repeat
...
...
..

:mjpls:Can you see the difference between metaphors and real raps? (FACTS)
:myman:How a nikka with metaphors can really rap?!
:ufdup:Your slogan? That shyt a propped-up scheme for the skill you lack
(FACTS)
Now I get it, why you did it; personal shyt, why you diggin'
But if you find any skeletons in my closet, nikka
Well, that should tell you how long it had bodies in it :scusthov::scusthov::scusthov:

I’m just askin, what you thought?
What ‘cause you had more battles than me?
(FACTS)
You dropped thirty in a couple of games? (FACTS)
nikka, I wasn’t even on the court. (FACTS)
Look, it ain’t about how many fights you had, it’s who you fought (FACTS)
This what champions look like
And we don’t look like, you look light
I’m floored by you boys battle verses
You Jim Lampley, Larry Merch.. nikka, you just talk a good fight

This shyt no laughing matter
When in the end, our cake mixed And you ain’t even half the batter
(FACTS)
How you gon get the pitch, we don’t even have a batter

Let's see the Calicoe quotables to match this :russ:

"The definition of a p-p-proc, the definition of a p-p-p, the definition of a pr-p-proctor" :mjlol:

Let's get it :sas2:



First post in the thread, @ReasonableMatic posted Lux bars (I shortened the quote to cut down on space). He obviously felt Lux won the round and Calicoe's round was weak. His opinion was stated, regardless of whether you like it. You started a thread asking for peoples' take on something, so your request is inherently not subjective.
still think Cal got the 1st two rds :yeshrug:
@Diyhai felt Cal got it. No bars posted (yet), but he threw his opinion in.
Post the bars you think he won the 2nd with then :russ:

Like i said, Calicoe LOST CLEARLY.
I posted Lux' bars to back that argument

Ya man @Diyhai got Calicoe winning the 2nd, so where them bars at to back that up:sas2:

Now first dude asked for bars. So far, your thread is about who is thought to have won the round based on bars. Seems like it's going exactly as you want. A discussion about who had better bars.

I don’t even like when nikkas do all that personal shyt
Boy, we’re face to face, how personal can personal get?
After I robbed you, I’m taking all your personal shyt
Tell your bytch to get out the car
And leave her purse in the whip
I’m thirsty with clips, let me find out he working with bricks
I’m squirting some shyt that can leave him with a reversible hip
...
...
...

He thought I was a paid dentist. The way I left him rotten and every tooth coming out his mouth if I put the K in it
Now Calicoe's bars are posted, and we're like 4 posts in. Pretty good. As a matter of fact, it's unfolding like a discussion about the second round and the bars within it.


How easy what is exactly? :sas1:

So a couple none direct bars.

1 Lux nameflip.

Vs

Lux breaking Calicoe down w/ FACTS as I showed in my post in which I CLEARLY stated Lux won.

Cause you said you looked forward to a discussion about that round.

I pleaded my case, so whatchu tryna say exactly? :jbhmm:

So now someone is asking your opinion on the bars because all you've contributed is accusations of lack of objectivity (someone tell me how to be objective when judging battlerap bars?).

why could you just post both calicoe and lux bars yourself then?

Good question.

So I'll keep it real.. I went back and rewatched round 2.

Calicoe turned in a strong round. Some of the highlights of it are already posted, and the overall round was clean and he kept a consistent level of heat on him (I don't think the proctor thing was even worth noting as a stumble/choke). I kept the :leon:throughout the round. He had a decent range too.. aggressive, varied his speed, all that and never abandoned the Calicoe bully shyt.

Lux's round was a minute or so longer than Cal's.. but I felt that by about the ~5 minute point, Lux had won the round. His barrage that started just before the definite/death in it bar and stretched out the next couple minutes was impressive lyricism, great delivery, poise, pacing, all that shyt. I'm not a mega Lux fan, but those bars still get a :whoo: out of me.



Overall -- I give Lux the second with no consideration for the rest of the battle.
Budden voice: Lux 10-9.

My post.. no explanation needed.

I listened to both rounds today ... Cal had some sh*t in that 2nd. He was flowing. But in front of Lux it amplified how generic it was for me. The difference in levels were very clear to me ...

I love that hollow heads line. The delivery of the whole reversible hip section was immaculate too.

who do you think won this round @Momentum


aaaaaaand lmao at "ain't no respect he brought a casket with my face on it ... I'm from the D!"
Yet another poster who addressed both battlers' rounds and explained their pick. At this point, you've contributed nothing to the conversation of the bars. Just passive-aggressive, argumentative shyt about how people are not handling the conversation properly.

1st 3/4 of Lux rd was boring filler

More explanation of why he didn't like Lux's bars.

I already explained a few posts up why I won't be elaborating on who I felt won the round. Too many posters in here are quick to make assumptions when you ask them simple questions, therefore I'd rather save my viewpoint for a different place and time.

What? So you aren't posting in your own thread because people picked a side based on bars? I may have missed what you mean by "making assumptions" here though.

They have already been posted thanks to other members.

For clarity, someone asked you to post bars and that was your response; verifying that other members posted and discussed bars from the round you asked to be discussed.

Calicoe's bars were too generic and very simple flips and basic metaphors. Compared to Lux it sounded clownish

And God forbid if Lux spit his real second round. Lux second he spit (really the extension of his first) took a minute to heat up. It started slow but then he got in a zone and went off

Another opinion on the bars.
--------------------------

At this point, I don't know what you want out of these discussions. From my perspective, the discussion went on the way a discussion about bars goes. Some people pick A, some pick B. People explain, pick apart, disagree, whatever. Standard discussion about a music.. there's very little opportunity to be objective about something like this.

I try every single time to look at what you (or anyone) is saying with fairness and some critical thought.. but I don't think I've seen you take a position on anything aside from dissing the posters for not conforming to some mysterious expectation you have. You don't like what you're seeing/reading, but you don't say why. Just some ominous shyt about "that's why I can't deal with this."
