[CLAB - Jakobe vs Senator]

This is a very interesting battle. Jakobe comes hard, but SJD comes right back with tons of passion and great delivery. Also goes to show that nobody can ever rap fast on NG without being called out on it for "being off beat" or whatever. No matter how good and on beat they are with it.

Anyway, my non-counting vote goes to BigRed. Sorry you had to take that beating at the end dude, it's unfair that you couldn't defend yourself against it, so you should advance.

Also I'm pretty curious as to the mic Jakobe actually has.

[Origin (Fat Beats & Teq)]

Damn this is legit. Fat Beats stepping up his game, now we just need to get you a better mic Fat, then you'd sound pro. Also good job on the fast stuff, keep exposing these people to it and eventually they'll get it.

Teq was insane on this. Basically saying "everyone who voted against me, fuck you, I'm awesome and you made an unwise decision."

This beat is also so awesome that I could just listen to it forever with a constant stream of (good) emcees rapping on it.

[CLAB - Gasmasq vs FatBeat]

I think Fat Beats is receiving a lot of unfounded criticism due to his accent, but he actually came with the better punches in this battle. The flip Fat commented on Gas complaining about EQ, and then Fat was like "your second verse was a whisper, your first my speakers nearly blew" was hilarious and quite true.

Also people asking about what 'cide' he commited. Deicide, as in killing a God. That's actually a good line.

Gasmasq came in arrogant like he always does since he has enough dickriders to float him to the next round, but it was really a poor showing. Sure his flow was better, but why do people care about that when there's hardly any substance. I'll take a mediocre flow with tons of substance over a good flow with little substance any day.

My vote would go to Fat Beats. Sorry dude you got screwed because people don't like accents :(.

[CLAB - Nerfgun vs Jakobe]

Wow this is probably the easiest (non-counting) vote I've ever had to give on a battle. Nerfgun Timmy either doesn't understand the concept of what a battle is, or simply didn't care to try on this one. Either way it cost him.

Jakobe pointed out the ridiculousness of Timmy's verses, and actually showed up to battle. This was pretty dumb overall, obviously Jakobe takes it by ten billion miles, no contest.

[Gasmasq vs. Rav]

I like how Gasmasq says that Rav's flow is weak and then Rav actually comes in with a better flow and unintentionally makes Gas punch himself in the face.

The rest of the battle though. Gas had a bunch of disses like he usually does about stuff that either isn't correct or doesn't have anything to do with rapping skill/ability. Some pretty poor rhyming as well. Spends most of the time defending himself and weak punching, did he even try? Maybe he's just rich and wants to give Rav some money.

Rav comes in much harder than I thought he would. The racist punches were pretty weak though. I do like how Rav used real attacks, and really I didn't even think he had this in him from his last battle. Flow is right on point and he's just vicious here. Much better content.

Never thought I'd say it (especially about this battle), but I have to give it to Rav. Also even though Gas wasn't the easiest to hear, if you listen well enough you can get it all. Don't be lazy.

[Clab - Pigpen Vs Teqneek]

PiGPEN came harder than I expected, and this is probably his best performance in a battle to date.

Verse 1 Pig came in pretty well. Saying that if he freestyled that's the only way Teq would win. Also always + points for rhyming Suddle with butthole.

Teq's first verse comes right back at Pig. Starts off pretty good, and starts to get even better. Upping the disses and overall showing Pig back to his pen.

Pig's second verse is much weaker than it could have been. There are a couple things he could have attacked Teq on that he skipped over. Then he says he makes fans and cash? Okay... Basically a weak verse overall.

Teq then ends with pure auditory ass rape that really makes the victory a no-brainer for Teqneek. Still a fun battle to listen to overall though, Pig has definitely stepped up his game, but not yet enough.

[CLAB - Emrox vs Richard]

This was a really good battle. I came in thinking "well who did Richard slaughter this time?" Came out having to listen more to decide if he even won.

Emrox is really great on this battle. He came up with awesome punches that hit hard and direct. After his first verse I thought "damn, Richard is going to have to come really hard to top that."

So Richard starts in and... It's mediocre at best. Clearly Rich didn't care/try for this one because it's really weak compared to what he's capable of. Emrox didn't stutter/stumble at all, what kind of diss was that? Then uses the rest of the verse to give really weak punches. So far Emrox is slaughtering him.

Emrox comes in with the next verse pretty damn hard, with really reasonable attacks. Pretty lame at the end though.

Richard finishes off without even addressing anything that Emrox just rapped about. This was probably something he wrote before even hearing it.

As good as Rich usually is, he absolutely 100% lost this battle. Controversial opinion I know, but I'm already the most hated emcee still in this competition so fuck it. Rich has a good flow for sure, but you need more than flow to win a battle (or at least you should, voters are sheep and they'll follow him regardless of how poor he performs though).

Gotta give it to Emrox. His delivery could use some passion, but his punches hit all the right places and are more than enough to beat someone throwing erratic punches somewhere in the general direction of his opponent.

[CLAB - tvJohnny vs Scuare]

What the fuck, did I just listen to?

There are some people who won their battles so hard that they didn't even need a second verse to win. Unfortunately for tv, he wasn't won of them. Perhaps he just threw the battle at the end because Scuare was murdering him? Actually if that's the case I need to give him props, because basically no other person on here can recognize when they're getting their ass handed to them until it's too late.

Obviously Scuare for the win. I'm quite curious to see what he'll do against Rav/Emergency.

[CLAB - I'mHigh vs Gambit]

Not sure why Gambit thinks this is a bad beat, it's one of the best ones on here. Wonder if he ever even heard the one I had to be on.

Anyway, I don't know what I'mHighUpHere was even doing. He seemed all right at first, but then stopped caring or something? This was quite odd.

Gambit is the clear victor in this battle. He actually took this battle seriously.

[CLAB - BSerious vs Scorch]

This was a really nice battle. Neither of you deserve to be knocked out in the pre-round.

Scorch comes in strong. Style not quite fitting the beat, but some great lines.
Then B Serious pops in with a great mic presence and flow for this beat. "Should leave my second verse blank to make the battle equal" made me lol.

Scorch on the third verse didn't make sense with his line about their microphones. If he had acknowledged that Serious' mic quality shits all over his own that would have been fine, but somehow he tries to say that his mic is worth more than a car and that Serious has some old piece of crap? wtf? Decent disses other than that, but nothing that stood out.

Serious made me laugh before, and now he made me laugh again (lol'd at that line). I'm usually not a fan of reverb that's so in your face for rap vocals, but the effect really works here. Anyway he had pretty strong disses throughout this verse as well, and still a great presence. The biggest disappointment was the last line. I was expecting something awesome the way it was about to end, and then it was a bit of a let down.

My vote goes to B Serious.
