Personally I liked a lot of Zelph's concepts in that battle, but a lot of ppl felt the back to back dummy lines & gun bars got redundant (in hindsight I tend to agree), but Zelph def has some creative attack lines & his wording has been pretty strong in the last battles I've seen of his. Zelph got last round off after Allen Knight no-showed so I suspect he's sitting on some nice concpets for this round. Will he be able to also craft some nice personals to hit Sho with (after KK went wild with the K shine shit last round...), I think he'll need to to off-set Sho's very direct style.

Murda Sho - Sho cruised by DMS in Rd. 1 and had some pretty cool bars there, good to see him back active again. I thought last rounds battle with Karaoke was sooo close, I think most would agree he pulled off the upset there with the W. It was a mixed bag, some voters thought he dropped mehh while others really liked his verse throughout. On the whole, Sho words his punches to hit hard and he's sneaky creative at times. I think his style is strongly in line with current preferences, and he's going to be touh t beat here if he comes with a good blend of personals and generics.

Looking forward to this, I think Murda Sho edges it but I would say I've got the odds at 55/45 for Sho


SC SEMIS: Bags vs Knucklehead

Bags - Bags Bags Bags... he's been at this text shit a while now & is definitely one of the funnier and more creative battlers doing it. Rd 1 Bags seemed like he was in cruise control, posting an okay verse against Bleak with just enough to get the win. Fresh of a big win over me in Rd 2, some voters said it was the best battle they've seen in a long time, others seemed ho hum on some of the concepts I guess but he definitely brought it, thought the second half of the verse was pretty dope. He def. has the talent to take this, but my concern is he's said this tourney is tiring him out lol so perhaps the effort and focus won't be there this time around.

Knuck - I've known Knuck for a looong time now, he was always kinda middle tier in the old days but tbh he's impressed me thus far in this tournament... His verse against KS was pretty dope & he took down a solid up and comer in Flow last round in a good battle wth lots of personals... Knuck's wording seems to be much improved and I think he's been dropping a good mix of personal hits and creative attack lines the last few battles I've seen so kudos.

I'm excited to read this one, my gut is Bags buckles down and comes with a really dope verse that trumps Knucks, but I won't be surprised if Knuck rises to the challenge here and takes it.

I've got this at 60/40 Bags. Goodluck guys.
