Heat Wave: HW Text (Rd 1): Nomedic v Sky Scrapur

Nomedic

This lame cant edge pros thats what you fail to get though
I wouldnt wanna see sky writing unless planes expel smoke
I never look at posts where you got an appearence in
Absolut vs sky to me's a vodka comparison
I'll offer ya merits then what you speak is the truth
But you the last writer I'd hala at if need some recruits
You're too weak to produce statements that may offend no
When i said "see L" I wasnt saying ya name in french bro
You plan on using lies in that verse to knock me out please
Cause If i ever said i love jay i was talkin bout weed
Your losses are about three a mod'll prolly edit that shit
To see a sky burial that isnt a Tibetan practice
Im sick of this clown and meds already figured him out
Im leavin "skaislaid" without hackin twitter accounts
You wont be crowned even after i've dented your widom kid
The crew you failed to start proves you're no excellent lyricist

This one wasn't the best...

Nomedic - I liked your verse, couple of your punches were fairly basic but relatively effective (e,g. The see L one)...some of your punches were more advanced, Sky writing, sky burial were good examples...you also lucked out that you mentioned your crew as well, as he tried to throw that at you...good example of a preempt punch. I felt like you were consistent in this one without being spectacular...I'd look for you to bring a higher level of punches in later rounds and sharpen up your flow a little bit, nothing off about it but more it wasn't really accentuating your punches like it could've done. Overall I thought this was a good verse with a couple of good shots in there.

Sky - was strange reading this in a sense because your attempts to throw punches were pretty poor if I'm honest with you but at the same time it seems like you seem to be able to write a bar, reading it seems like you'd be able to rap this (I actually hear it as a rap in my head reading it...whereas sometimes it reads like someone is reading a page from a book) which is really positive, it's a strong fundamental to have locked down which a lot of people struggle with coming at this from a text point of view...unfortunately the praise stops there because in terms of a battle verse this was pretty weak. You went from lines that didn't seem like punches at all ("down your throat like bull frogs" and the fortune cookie line) to ones that were formed like a punchline but the diss was weak (opener) and actually some that were the other way round, felt like you had a good diss but the punch was weak (silly chancer, lasting label in SA)...I got what you were aiming at with the SA label one, and the Concrete one but you just didn't get it across in a cohesive way that left any damage on your opponent.

So overall, a lot to learn and focus on...I think general activity on the site should help you, voting, reading battles, understanding what makes an effective battle verse.

Clearly, I think Nomedic did a better job of landing harder hitting punches on a more consistent basis and for those reasons my vote goes to him.

Vote = Nomedic
