@dull boy

You the Wu-Tang Clan or the Kool-Aid Man? SO cold. Y'all stay freezing.
I could Greedo your team's whole steelo solo with space heaters.
You shot first but this comebacker's splitting the plate.
We're not socially distanced 'cause Covid restrictions. We just pitchered your face. OH YEAH!

@bleak

Never witnessed sports clearly. i thought that was fickle

You're fuckin right bitch we the freezing & coldest
&this weapons so big Mr Freeze couldn't hold it.

That shit is a force. You might witness a miracle; no one witnesses sports.
I'm just getting warm. If y'all the freezing and coldest then it's stiff in a morgue.
My image adored. I am too cute. Bleak? Any pickle be cropped to remove dude.
If you're rundown it's not a pursuit; you just not in a good mood.

In the streets, following Moss on rocks like a pilgrim secret
@dull boy

Geek kid lol Please, bitch. I'm athletic with a jumbo cock.
If you swinging a big head it's 'cause you broke your Funko Pop.
I'm out of your league; 20 thousand if you want a degree.
You ain't grasping jewels unless your book club's on Under The Sea.

@bleak

I'm bookin clubs for blowouts. Bitches, bottles and paid out sections
We know you're fuckin sus by the fact that you made that reference.

You're a fucking HEAD master who'll soften my bone.. but it's MY ref that was sus lol
Lemme get this straight (since you ain't) in this case.. is 'head matter' cum?
Reading your dome damaging 'blowout' I thought I'd never touch my turn
'cause I had to pause and, 'no homo', every other word

Consensus

Judge quotes

Dope battle. Both had really solid wording, concise punches... and quick responses. Lots of obscure references that I happened to like. I knew this would be fun to read when Dull dropped a multi-bar Greedo punch that seamlessly worked in the Kool Aid Man and Wu Tang Clan out the gate.

bleak was a breath of fresh air. Flow was perfectly done throughout.. Would have worked perfectly over a beat. His punches weren’t super complex, but sometimes simplicity works well. And I thought it did for him here.

(dull) obviously had a focus on wording as well, with a specific emphasis on intra-bar multi’s... socially distanced/Covid restrictions.. greedo/steezo, etc. You could tell that Dull was focused on every syllable, and that matters IMO.

All in all, I think it was relatively equal in terms of wording/flow.. Dull was slightly better in playing off Bleak’s drops.. and slightly better wit-wise.

I really fucked with the Texas winter/space heater exchange but did not get the social distance exchange at all. That was kind of the story of this battle for me.

I thought bleak was more consistent but dull had harder hits.

I got bleak but it’s close. He had more traditional battle concepts.

Verdict

1 judge felt Dull took it easily, 2 thought he had a slight edge, and 2 thought Bleak did enough to eek out the victory

3-2 Dull wins
