So these are the lines I felt were good.

Mark:
- Don't sweat the Teqneek
- For the first time make it to round 3
- Teq thinks he's Big Red again
- Get rid of Teqneek
- It's no exposure, it's over, you're so wack
- So raw, Sunra must've hit on you
- The 4 bars about bias votes

Not a great exit, and the delivery could have been better, but the flow was pretty on-point and there were some cool schemes.

Teq:
- Whine and bitch at Glitch
- 4 bars about ducking battles
- Can't book a damn gig etc.
- Cryin' all the time while your vagina flows
- Tournament tips when you got in over your head
- Illiterate leprechaun

Clearly the better flow from Teq, I don't think anyone is gonna argue that. His lines were funny, with plenty of personals thrown in. Like egg fried rice with scraps of bacon in there. Some impersonal lines did detract a lot, such as the "Try to escape the state line" bit. Good schemes, but kind of a waste of 4 bars in a battle like this.

Decision:
It's seriously fucking hard to decide. But I think I have to go with my gut and say Teq took this. Both MC's had decent lines, schemes and personals blahblahblahblahlblablabhhblablhalbah lah all that shit you wanna hear. Mark had slightly more personals, Teq had the better performance. If Teq had more filler it would have easily lost him this, but as it is Teq for the W this time. (I sincerely think there should be a rematch though. If you're with me, bug them into doing it).

Advice:
Mark, work on the delivery and performance. Get into it more, throw some adlibs in there (don't go overboard if that's not your style, but they can really help make your verse stand out). The flow is on-point though.
Teq, next time you battle go through your verse before you record it. If there's any lines like the "Waiting with eight 9s" bit, get rid of them and replace them with something more substantial. Try to keep the cool schemes if you can, but they're not overly necessary. Keep the generics for a hype track or a cypher or something.

Also, both of you should feel honoured for getting my most in-depth battle review ever.

Lyrical murder all day. Ax should just live in a cave and not communicate with the world for the rest of his life.

Teqneek responds:

I know, I feel pretty ashamed for destroying him so lyrically.

This is the fucking bomb.
