disappeared last contender match, ur punches were weaaak to top it
so slight of hand when they gave u Cash, now that nigga has $50 in his pocket
doggystyled ur girl screaming yes daddy while i dicked her butt
had her on all Four Letter, Word.. she kept saying oh shit & fuck!
everyone knows ur african-american so ur death'll depress ur wife
leave a permanent Scarlett, & she'll play the role of Black Widow rest of her life
make that bitch my sex slave, every homie plan to get laid
so when we run a train at night, it'll remind u of how ur ancestors escaped
erase ur last loss boss, then its laser beam on top of the nickel
wanna make sure ur record 7up, when u get the can with a red dot in the middle
for five racks burn ur child to ash off my windshield & tires
see sun go thru glass over paper, & thats exactly how ima start the fire
imagine Blue retired & Lett overseeing nbl, i'll pop one fast
if u were Ahmaud Running Down the Road, it'll all end with a shotgun blast

That sway from aura was a bitch move but the real ones won’t let it discredit letterman’s verse. Aside from that, aura had a pretty nice verse and I didn’t think it was going to be topped. That Black Widow line was crazy. Letterman had a stellar verse, barely any misses in it. Strongman is the best bar I’ve read in a while. Close battle and props to both.


Vote Letterman

This wasn't it chief, seems very statement ish.

doggystyled ur girl screaming yes daddy while i dicked her butt
had her on all Four Letter, Word.. she kept saying oh shit & fuck!

Idk pleth this isnt looking too good bro. Idk if u rushed this. But naw

everyone knows ur african-american so ur death'll depress ur wife
leave a permanent Scarlett, & she'll play the role of Black Widow rest of her life

I dont like the set up makes no sense to me, i get black widow/ african american but ur talking about his race not his wifes. For all we know shes hungarian lol. What does being african american have to do with a more depressed wife after death.

make that bitch my sex slave, every homie plan to get laid
so when we run a train at night, it'll remind u of how ur ancestors escaped

.bro cashius at least had dope ones vs karaoke. Ur racial bars either make no sense or are corny jokes at least make them dope like cashius did.

erase ur last loss boss, then its laser beam on top of the nickel
wanna make sure ur record 7up, when u get the can with a red dot in the middle

This was cool needed better wording tho

for five racks burn ur child to ash off my windshield & tires
see sun go thru glass over paper, & thats exactly how ima start the fire

This one was not bad either, crafty

imagine Blue retired & Lett overseeing nbl, i'll pop one fast

I like the concept just not the way you worded it.

Nice


V/ letter took this pretty comfortably ...pleth idk it seemed you struggled with writing for letter. Your usually much sharper.

[Wavy Crockett]

I got this one super close

Gonna re-read before I pick a winner

Great battle, boys

[Cashius]

disappeared last contender match, ur punches were weaaak to top it
so slight of hand when they gave u Cash, now that nigga has $50 in his pocket
-Decent idea, but I don’t feel like it was worded well enough to really stand out.


doggystyled ur girl screaming yes daddy while i dicked her butt
had her on all Four Letter, Word.. she kept saying oh shit & fuck!
-Pretty funny concept. Not a huge hit but cool.


everyone knows ur african-american so ur death'll depress ur wife
leave a permanent Scarlett, & she'll play the role of Black Widow rest of her life
-I did a Scarlett/Black Widow bar a few years back, so this lost points for me. The Lett partial name play got some back.

make that bitch my sex slave, every homie plan to get laid
so when we run a train at night, it'll remind u of how ur ancestors escaped
-kind of light to me


erase ur last loss boss, then its laser beam on top of the nickel
wanna make sure ur record 7up, when u get the can with a red dot in the middle
-Not crazy about using a record as a concept. Seems a bit old, but the 7 up thing is cool.


for five racks burn ur child to ash off my windshield & tires
see sun go thru glass over paper, & thats exactly how ima start the fire
-I see all the connections, but the whole concept/timeline just sees a little forced. And sun/son loses points even if it’s only one connection of many.


imagine Blue retired & Lett overseeing nbl, i'll pop one fast
if u were Ahmaud Running Down the Road, it'll all end with a shotgun blast
-Had to google. Still kind of missed for me.





Muscles don’t block bullets. 1911 pistol.. I’m not one for the glamour
But it doesn’t matter if you’re strongman, you can still get your bell rung from a hammer
-Cool concept. I don’t think I’ve seen it. Nice.


Think it’s a game, end up in pain— you‘ll really get shot, fool
I’m sending a message with the Mac, so don’t be surprised when what I airdrop you
-Another cool one the Mac concept doesn’t fee super fresh. AirDrop is cool tho. The message tie in feels a bit old too.


U said u were the man at prom, but ur date said that was very false
She couldn’t wait for the last dance, that bitch hated the feel more than Jerry Krause
-This is ok. I would’ve like the connection to be better and I think you could’ve taken it a different direction.



I’ll gunbutt you over & over, just to make sure this guy leaves hurtin’
I don’t even gotta pull up & shoot, I can just beat you with the handle - Kyrie Irving
-I thought this was dope.


I fuck bitches better than you. Your ex bitch is who you can ask, in fact..
She said ur sex was boring.. & thats why she came to me whenever she wanted action, pack
-Not feeing this.


They quote all ur make believe shit. Why does this pretender try?
Polygraph Test - Cuz you get a reaction, but we can all tell from the lines that it’s a lie
-This was a cool idea. Just like last dance I think this could’ve been fire if you did something different with the tie ins.

It’s over once I use the blade & I rip thru ur chest
But this is gonna be your engraves, once letter starts carving into your flesh
-This was dope.


This was a cool battle. Props to both. It was pretty close but I think Letterman had the two lines of the battle with Kyrie and Engrave. So, I’m going to go with Letterman by a small margin.

Uppp....this battle is fire

Thought you both had some really creative lines that hit well & not a lot of misses

After reading each verse a few times, I have Aura winning by a small margin.. I felt like he was slightly more creative. LOTB definitely goes to Letterman w/ that Kyrie Irving bar, though

I know Letterman’s up in votes right now, so I can break it down further if need be

v/ Aura

[Wanderer]

Cool battle. I don’t have time for a full breakdown but as far as dope bars go I got the following :

Aura - Black widow, 7up

Vs

Letterman - Strongman, AirDrop, Kyriee Irving, Polygraph

Letterman gets this for me. More stand out hits. Strong man was fire. Dug the styles of both though and enjoyed the read.

Vote - Letterman

[Answer]

disappeared last contender match, ur punches were weaaak to top it
so slight of hand when they gave u Cash, now that nigga has $50 in his pocket

i like the idea, execution couldve been better but overall a good opener

doggystyled ur girl screaming yes daddy while i dicked her butt
had her on all Four Letter, Word.. she kept saying oh shit & fuck!

wording is funny, execution is a little rough but decent bar

everyone knows ur african-american so ur death'll depress ur wife
leave a permanent Scarlett, & she'll play the role of Black Widow rest of her life

okay, not quite on par with your first 2 bars

make that bitch my sex slave, every homie plan to get laid
so when we run a train at night, it'll remind u of how ur ancestors escaped

nah not really feeling this

erase ur last loss boss, then its laser beam on top of the nickel
wanna make sure ur record 7up, when u get the can with a red dot in the middle

decent idea, but the execution just isnt landing with me

for five racks burn ur child to ash off my windshield & tires
see sun go thru glass over paper, & thats exactly how ima start the fire

kinda the theme with all the bars here, I like the ideas you've got going but when you put them together they're not landing quite as hard as they could

imagine Blue retired & Lett overseeing nbl, i'll pop one fast
if u were Ahmaud Running Down the Road, it'll all end with a shotgun blast

its a current event and all but im not really digging this one. You kinda had to make up a whole weird scenario where blue steps down and letterman becomes a mod to make this work, which is too much

I think this just has too many dated ideas and not enough new spin on it

nah, this a miss for me.

The context here is also a bit forced, this is okay

I like the wording and execution more than I like the idea itself, decent closer


this is a bit tough to vote on, I think Aura had some better ideas overall but Letterman definitely had better execution and wording. I think ultimately Letterman gets this for being more polished overall. I can see this going either way though tbh. Airdrop and and strongman were lotb followed by aura's opener.

mvgt - Letterman

[Destroyer]

This was a decent battle
I have Aura here on just more variety of punch types
Letterman kind of overdid it on the nameplays which I think hurt him whether they were the right name to make plays on or not.
Irving was ok, I hate that end of the line style tho which hurt it for me
Black widow and 4-letter words were dope

Aura, I did a Scarlett nameplay on him already but yours was different enough w/ the black widow flip to still hit

Letter, I almost bolded the polygraph bar bc it's fire...w the expection of how elementary the rhyming was

Iunno fellas, I'll bb

Let's gooo

Aura:
disappeared last contender match, ur punches were weaaak to top it

^ decent hit here good nameplay

everyone knows ur african-american so ur death'll depress ur wife

^ dope here

make that bitch my sex slave, every homie plan to get laid

^ I'll echo the kind of racist thing but way to keep the theme going and this was decent

erase ur last loss boss, then its laser beam on top of the nickel
wanna make sure ur record 7up, when u get the can with a red dot in the middle
^ it's okay

for five racks burn ur child to ash off my windshield & tires

^ i don't know ehh

imagine Blue retired & Lett overseeing nbl, i'll pop one fast

^was okay not the best imo

MVGT/Letterman his verse was just a little more consistent imo

[UPN Zuch]

Letterman took this

Irving, Krause, hammer lines were all dope

Oddly, I only liked Aura’s opener. Not much else there.

Vote - Letter

Ok. Cash obv incredibly overdone but the relevance makes it okay

This was cringe to me. Needed better wording to carry it off. Set up didn’t help.

Not him so again it misses


Good battle of two up and comers in this league.

I think Aura edged it, Lett wasted two bars on nameplays that didn’t relate to Aura, if he had used those bars wisely it might have been different imo. However, a good match, vote Aura

[Inno]

Aura

Opener, four letter word, ancestors escaped, scarlet and closer


Let


Jerry Krause, action pack, kyrie Irving and closer.

This was a dope battle for sure. It’s a toss up and can go either way. I think though aura was more consistent with hit after hit. He had more lines that I found to have a harder impact. Felt like Lett could of been a bit more harsh with his wording. Enjoyed the read. I got aura by a hair.
