    I'm flame blasting..you'll succumb against the Godbody dripping with lame passion.
    Your flow couldn't connect on the money no ? ..you lacking dope chain transactions.
    This is illegal, your prey to my cerebral no need for a sequel.

    When the beef cooks..you'll be tied to stakes burnt well done, center cut chest to navel.
    Prime rap'll have your spine snapped not able to stand aligned a fact.
    Your anticipation to bust..faded to black quicker than stage drama sex scenes in ? .
    Get expected to scorched not spared in sight you bit the snare I strike.
    Like dwarfs in shrink wrap your growth's suppressed in heat fighting to be fahrenheit.
    You're infantile so prepare to get thrown to the leeches.
    Get found ? in the sack killed by the wire like homemade abortionists killing a fetus.
    I spit with murderours intent you was never hard like flint.
    He's a lexicon artist..drawing up diciton that scream out fraudulence.
    Prepare for a violent murkage this ? ? on spot against the surface.
    He's draped up..high enough for all to see I guess in this it's closed curtains.

    I'm flame blasting..you'll succumb against the Godbody dripping with lame passion.
    Your flow couldn't connect on the money no ? ..you lacking dope chain transactions. 6.5/10
    Weak opener. Nice multis nonetheless. Felt the first line was filler and the 2nd line was the punch but not very good.
    This is illegal, your prey to my cerebral no need for a sequel.
    One punch you'll draw up..cope with defeat'll..position yourself to be undeveloped no equal. 6/10
    Starting to sense a flow. First line was more filler but slides BC seems like another set-up for a punch. 2nd line was not much of a punch.
    The death sentence is fatal I'll make sure nothing can save you.
    When the beef cooks..you'll be tied to stakes burnt well done, center cut chest to navel. 8/10
    Big improvement here. Loving the consistent use of multis tied in with metas but this one is different BC it goes hard in the 2nd line.
    Prime rap'll have your spine snapped not able to stand aligned a fact.
    Your anticipation to bust..faded to black quicker than stage drama sex scenes in ? . 8/10
    First time I'm noticing punches in both lines of the set. First one was good and 2nd was not as good. Nice multis in the first line that made sense.
    Get expected to scorched not spared in sight you bit the snare I strike.
    Like dwarfs in shrink wrap your growth's suppressed in heat fighting to be fahrenheit. 7.5/10
    These lines were confusing. I read them a few times but I liked them overall. Not the hardest punches but definitely not filler.
    You're infantile so prepare to get thrown to the leeches.
    Get found ? in the sack killed by the wire like homemade abortionists killing a fetus. 7/10
    Set-up + punch technique. Punch was good but a bit forced.
    I spit with murderours intent you was never hard like flint.
    He's a lexicon artist..drawing up diciton that scream out fraudulence. 7/10
    I liked that you had two punches in this set but neither was hard hitting. Basic.
    Prepare for a violent murkage this ? ? on spot against the surface.
    He's draped up..high enough for all to see I guess in this it's closed curtains. 8.5/10
    First line okay but second line was sick. I've seen many closed curtain lines but not like that.

    Disciplined InSight verse - 7.31/10

    esco soprano
    I got disciplined 'in' my 'sights' like +shooters on the roof+
    I spit voodoo on the booth like black magic 6/10
    Not a fan of not rhyming at the end of your lines even if the rhyme comes later in the verse. Thought the first line was played and the second was filler.
    my 'wordplay' is +acrobatic+ and its tragic for ? perpatratin as MCs
    Easily dodgin' ur slights Disciplined "points" are useless like +knives in a gun fight+ 7/10
    I thought you were going to go somewhere with the first line about him being a ? posing as an MC. I liked the 2nd line. Would've rated this higher had it rhymed.
    Insightful disciple follow me like lambs this is textual slaughter
    eventual martyr for this rap ? and your no challenger you're barely a sparring partner 6.5/10
    Sick multies but lacked punch.
    you're lookin' at the +author+ of the ~Art of War~ and I'm the king of these check one, twos
    allhiphop's own yes the one and only come test ~Sun Tzu~ 6/10
    One of your sickest sets in here but was pure boast. Not a diss.
    I came into this battle with 'nothin' to lose' like +career criminals+
    ~minded~ like 'KRS' blinded by my fury I'm Lyrical Executions own judge and jury 5.5/10
    More boast and not as hard as the Sun Tzu lines.
    an executioner's dream cuz Disciplined stay talkin' out his neck
    I'm so sick in the mind I should be committed somebody write the hospital out a check 7.5/10
    Even though the 2nd line was more boast, I really liked that first line. It was sick but would've been higher rated if you kept jabbing.
    +superman+ I'ma keep bending these barz defying physics with great defense denying pivots
    D.I. can't ? with me he's reached his lyrical ceilin' meanwhile I'm taking over like an empirical villain serial illin' 8/10
    Really good multies first off comes across as 75% boast but I liked the superman-bendhisbars meta. 2nd line was not as hard.
    sooner or later he'll learn I stand alone and I'm a "beast on text" like +teens+ with their +first cell phone+
    and the "King's no Asiatic but still I'm Nobody's Equal" I'm just kickin' facts masterfully skilled I'm +young gifted and black+ 6/10
    I would probably say 90% of those lines are boast. I say 90% BC you said "sooner or later he'll learn..." but that was it lol. but if you took those 5 words out, it's all boast. Sick nonetheless.

    Esco Soprano verse - 6.56/10

    LOL at mofos trying their hardest to come up with big words and both them ? was reaching a bit to be honest. I don't understand all of the '+' and '~' signs either. makes it harder to read the rhyme and get the flow. Some like the complex ? just for the sake of it being complex. But me, I like ? to just flow and made sense without over doing it. I didn't feel any of the lines were 'OHHHHH SHIIIIIIIT' type material. I felt both tried too hard to over do it and it messed up the flow of the battle to me and both verses came out sounding a bit too choppy for my taste. since both over reached, I got to pick the one with the most complex rhyme eventhough I wasn't feeling either of them to be quite honest. So I'm unenthusiastically going to pick DI.

    Disciplined InSight -8.3
    Reason why Disciplined InSight won...his verse was stronger, had more direction towards oponent, but Esco Sopranos was strong but not more directed as Disciplined InSight...The battle was good, very strong, and creative work. Good luck to Esco Sopranos and Diciplined InSight in the future battles or any typing verse..both m.c are good and talented. Thank for letting Love yal vote.

    @ ? .

    When it comes to the words, I don't have to try though. And 'flow' in text is different than flow in real live audio, which in text it's more on wordplay and metaphors. I can do both flawlessly..But in all honesty, my verse was put together really quick. But thanks on the criticisms.

    Expected a better battle for the championship round but it's all good. My vote goes to Disciplined InSight for a number of reasons. His verse took a lot more shots at his opponent whereas Esco's verse was a mix of bragging with a few personal shots... I think boosting yourself in a rap battle should be avoided unless it's a really sick line. You always get more laughs/"oohs" by insulting someone else. InSight also had the better flow and rhyme scheme; Esco's rhyme scheme was a bit random for a rap battle and it made it harder for me to pinpoint the flow. Granted, flow isn't as important in a text battle but I still like to see an attempt at some sort of structure. Both have pretty solid vocab and metaphors but once again, InSight's lines were more relevant because he was taking shots at his opponent. One thing in Esco's favour was the fact that he did try to personalize some of his shots against InSight; Insight's lines weren't really customized for his opponent... With that said though, it was still a better verse.

    What post? Didn't you say in your vote that you wrote a long explanation but got an error message?

    Congrats to Disciplined InSight. I know you got me good in our semi-final round.

    I'm still a little perplexed at what happened with my original post though. I hope no OTHER votes for Esco disappeared as well when Ducky was hacking the site.

    Definitely sign me up for the next battle. I will bring the heatrocks this time...
