Each contestant has 24 hours to check in, once both opponents have checked in, they have 24 hours to drop their verses. Remember the rules, 16 bars/16 lines!!! Questions, just ask refer to the original thread which I provided a link to below. Once both verses have been dropped, voting will ensue for 24 hours, then the winner will be decided. Good luck! When writing your verses consider the following: NO FEEDING/FLIPPING NO RECYCLING NO SWAYING NO BITING Any questions on the definitions of the rules, see the original 'Rap Battle Tournament' Thread in the link above. In order for your vote to count you must leave an explanation as to why you voted the way you did, otherwise your vote will not be counted. You cannot vote for yourself, either.

damn you both murdered this.. but i gotta say skies came with some fire. i picked his flow up and it just sounded crazy in my head..and after joel did almost the same thing but jsut not as hot.. both we fire though gentlemen. do not get the confused
Sick battle between two heavyweights. Jo3l brought a nice ass verse. I read it earlier and didn't think Skies could top it but it was a lot closer then I thought. I was feelin Jo3ls flow a bit more. Some of Skies lines felt choppy to me while I was readin them, but overall it aint too bad.. Skies came heavy with the multies.. when I went over Skies verse and just said the multies, they sounded a lot nicer then Jo3ls would, if you know what i'm sayin.. Overall both came with some heavy drops but this line sealed the deal for me.. Good battle his style is ancient these days.. he wont be praised.. the vote will go one of three ways the me-ways.. no re-phrase or re-plays.. go to grocery store snack aisle and maybe youll "see Lays!" +1 Skies
how dare you insult my flow sparkin! just playin. i can read my verse n make it flow flawlessly but such is the reality of txt battles
i have to say that these were both hot with multis, internal rhymes, and nice punches. read them both like 5 times ima give my vote to joel it just came out a bit more raw to me +1 joel
Yeah I'm sure if I had a proper beat playing while I read it I could have caught the flow much easier. Do you write to a beat or no?
nah but my head is pretty good at providing me with beats lol. if im writing somethin im gonna record then the chances are almost definitely that im usin a beat though so far we got 2-1 me
Rhyme Scheme and Flow were both ill guys, I love how Joel has the AABCCB thing going, however I liked Skies multi's better, they seemed to fit a little bit better, if that makes sense, I guess the flow of it is what I'm trying to say worked better with the multi's. Both of you guys had your punches, my favorite was... this writer's dumb.. yea, joel is just too weak to pin Up down i "pull his strings" like a puppet tryna "keep his chin up!".. clown! Both of you guys had fucking DOPE ending bars as well, so I'm not gonna quote them, but damn hahaha When it all comes down to it, and I hate making a decision like this one, Skies gets my vote for the following reason....fresher content. Like I said, both had clevery, witty and humorous punches, but Joel's seemed more generic in some parts, more so the gay jokes and ones similar of the sort. Skies just had more that I haven't heard before that really caught me off guard, and unfortunately in a battle like this, where it's on such a level playing field, that's what tipped the scale in this case. Sorry Joel +1 Skies
It was really close for me, and it all came down to the best punch. for Skies I think it was this: "yo.... when it rains it pours and im makin storms, straight up "stealin your thunder" and for Joel: "I never “rehearse this” but I’ll “reverse shit” and have Skies under my reign!! (rain)" and that line from Joel just did it for me, too damn good! It was DAMN close though +1 Joel
Close, close, close battle fam. The more I re-read it over again, the more I realize I couldn't even pick a winner if I was an outside party. Keep the votes coming!
Damn guys.. both of you killed it. I liked Joel's verse a bit more though.. read easier and had a nice flow. +1 Joel
