YouTube- NECRO - WORLD GONE MAD (INSTRUMENTAL)




Pin point my thoughts confusion embroids my mind
Sewn to this lifestyle which fucked up, destroyed my life
Was a little kid, playing with the snow but then it got deeper
Trod in the quicksand, now this addictions my ether
One hit, please man, the hook will never tear my skin
But now i’m suffering, do anything, hear my sins
My arms bruised and blue, pale face, I puke
Need the gear, so I borrowed it, nigga I promise I’ll pay you
Warnings, threatening, waterworks, I poured it
Man I knew from the beginning that I couldnt afford shit
Owe a bunch of crook niggas a salary, fuck man they havin’ me
I’m poor, but my bloods worth enough to live lavishly
Lay Low, stay cold, turkey? Damn hell no
Still high, shootin without pistols, ignore my cellphone
Maybe I shouldn’t have,bop to the store for some cigarettes
Get popped, If You don’t Pay ya Debts that’s what a nigga gets.

vote : Atlas ... I didnt just award every other category they really do follow that pattern let me explain ... Atlas won every category about depth and imagery and complexity and vocab because his verse was just more focused towards those categories like painting a vivid picture ... Dope won multies metas and flow cause I liked the way hsi verse was put together better but I feel like dope did exactly what he said he did and rushed it because his pen is better then this the verse was good but lacked substance whereas atlas just had me captivated throughout the whole verse this guy is a true topical writer and showed it here good battle this one was a lil one sided all things considered though.

After reading atlas drop i thought dope was taking the time to come hard on this when the clock was ticking down but as he said in his intro it was a quick write job and that showed. hell, it was still dope but unfortunately it was not dope enough to to beat what i thought was a great drop by atlas <---- i had not expected this but my vote is going to atlas on account of he painted a better picture in my mind with his words. Dope had the better layout but i gotta give the credit to atlas who came hard and done the job in style.

Unforseen but my vote here goes to: ATLAS.

Well done both on two good drops.

Hey, I don't know if I got it wrong but I noticed in some texts (this battle particuallary) that the text doesn't quite fit the topic, since it's one hour prior to your execution while some focus it more on bein a shoot-out situation or some other scenario.
Maybe it's just me bein picky.

Anyway - the drops.

Atlas your text was mad well written. The flow of it was so fuckin' nice. very good choice of words and great depth with great picturing. To me this was one of the best yet.

Dope your rhyming and multi's are on point and your great at inner-line rhymin and structure. I felt however that you was lackin depth and story-tellin vise you didn't come as hard as Atlas.

Vote: Atlas, your text was increadibly well written, even though I felt you drifted off topic I could still get the picture you painted.

Good job both of you.

I'm not swayin votes at all, but I want to clear up that it wasn't a shootout situation, the topic never said 'executed in prison' so I thought it was mad creative for dope to think outside of the box with that..jus sayin

[AlanSmithee]

Aight Philly, I agree he's creative all right, that was bein said to both writers btw.

I mean it does say execution.. wheter it's in prison or not idk, or what you can terpretate as an execution leaves for the voter to determain i guess.

Was just sayin..

[phILLy bONE]

I'm not arguing with your vote, just your explanation...the point of this is for the writer to interpret the way that they see it, I just don't want people to vote on being creative with the topic development.

[AlanSmithee]

aight aight My vote still stands though as Atlas was bein creative as well.

(I know you weren't tryin to sway it, just to clarify my vote still stands)

It has nothing to do with Atlas's creativity, I'm not comparing them I was just stating you need to be open to loose interpretation of the topic from the writers and not penalize them for it, it wouldn't have mattered cuz overall atlas had a better verse, this is for future reference.

[Dope Antelope]

no sweat, it was quick and I'm happy with it. good looks on the votes.
