This is a great battle for Glove Up 4 

Brixx is a great GZ battle Shotti is like a GZ champ 

Both these guys punch allot so its easy to judge 

Round 1

Brixx went first. He had some ok lines nothing amazing and had a few slip ups

Shotti was going in punch after punch. He did have a cereal Queenzflip line that Ave had so loses points for that 

Shotti was definitely better 

Round 2

Brixx went in on this round. Stepped his punches up 

Shotti was strong in this round Allot of nameflips 

This round pretty even 

Round 3

Brixx best round Punch after punch was pretty strong 

Parappa the rappa bar was nice 

I think delivery and energy from Brixx can def improve him. He really all pen 

His closing of the rounds was horrible 

Shotti used a conceited bar "Fire Escape" 

A few bars this battle weve heard before 

But had a lot of fire 

A slip up on that round bad makes him lose the round 

This round easily to Brixx 

Shotti easily takes the battle 2-1 But both were pretty good 

@VerbalWarZone18 ‏ @215ENess VS FIRE DA MISFIT/ #UncivilWar @VerbalWarZone18 @chosennusound @cashbilz @casino_pa @canovacapone @officialbuttahUNCIVIL WAR CARD

This is a great battle two of my favorite on Verbal Warzone. 

Both had 3 great rounds 

I think Ness showed his delivery and flow is one of the best. 

Fire was good  with delivery and was better with the pen. He made sure to come with some personal bars and punches at Ness

This was a preference battle but i edged to Fire da Misfit. 

He was more full package 

Fire took the first two E Ness took the 3rd clearly 

@RumNitty VS @NUJERZEYTWORK | @URLTV @SMACKWHITE @BEASLEYNYC @STREETSTARNORBES @RAIN910 @THISISTWIZZ @BELIKEIKE @NUNU_NELLZ @WEGOHARDTV @PSWISS300 @EBLTV @PAPILAPUGH

Nu Jerzey Twork vs Rum Nitty 

both are punchers going back to back

I think they both did there shit in round 1

Twork edged it. His landed more  He had the rebuttal and some humour 

Almost beefed when  Twork started flagging as one is a blood and the other a crip. But there seemed to be no real problem 

round 2 nitty starts with a rebuttal of his own with the spud webb line 

Punches landing alot better 

People was sleeping 

Had some goonie shots

Reganomics  bars 

Nothing was the same bar 

Passover blood at your door bar. Then to the Baphomet line

Yall said he gone beat me to death! Yeah he gone die first

Some ok shit from Twork

Ok Jumping from Writers Block 

Mention Nittys son obviously was an issue 

Don't Believe the Hype Bar 

He flipped the suicide bar

Round 3

Rum Nitty doing Nitty with punches after punches 

Some good bars

Weak ending low energy 

Rome Ruins bar

OD two guns Mac Miller

Tiger woods 1 hook a lose everything 

Twork do more rapping and not punch punch style 

Good line 

He actually used the oppurtunity line which is funny Nitty predicted in the first round

Be Geez Try staying alive

The crowd was really into it 

Twork took round 1

Nitty took round 2 

Twork edged the 3rd 

Twork edges the battle but great battle 

@kingofthedot - Kaliente vs KP | #WAVE3

So the return of Kaliente and KP to KOTD this is old school KOTD

Round 1

Kaliente is one of the most underrated rappers in KOTD. He is from an era when battler rappers had to actually still "RAP". His delivery and cadences are amazing. He' doesn't really PUNCH bar after bar so people don't appreciate his shit

He had some smooth shit and it looks like he even upped his punches good round 

KP actually suprised me this is the best round I've seen from him in awhile

He had some great delivery chances on his cadences He made sure to flow and had not as much played out lines he used to. 

His supercala Mary Poppins bar was probably the most creative name flip I've seen in awhile and wasn't a reach 

The shit emoji line to me is a bite  

Edge to Kaliente but pretty even 

Round 2

Good delivery some funny  jokes 

Stop hitting ya self 

Nice Ja Rule 50 Bar 

Peeping tom bar 

The round ended kind of wack 

KP says good shit but nothing real original 

He regurgitates stuff others have done 

Edge to Kaliente 

Round 3 

Meh... round from kaliente nothing really in it

Fire round from KP punch after punch 

edge to KP on this round

Great battle edge to Kaliente 2-1 taking want to hear more of them. 

@MATHHOFFA ‏ VS @heavy_half #RAPBATTLE #RBE @rare_breed_ent @itsarp @lawrence_rbe

Math Hoffa vs Heavy Half is a cool battle.

I am not going to break down this round for round

It is a clear easy win for Math Hoffa all 3 rounds 

I think this is one of the battles were tiers are very clear. 

I think Heavy Half had a good pen and ok delivery. 

He doesn't have the charisma to hold the crowd with his performance like Math. 

Math had the crowd all 3 rounds. 

He delivered pretty strong rounds with a few slip ups

He did allot of personal introspective a bit too much 

But he edged Heavy Half all 3 rounds

@NoCoastRaps - @samiamthemc vs. @IsaacKnox @LushOne #VDM6 @DJPompey @breakneckdamage @shakezu @kellybetztv Follow Me @Kingscourtent

A great freestyle battle between two freestyle veterans and eventually legends

SamIAm who is from the original freestyle era and professional freestyler Isaac Knox

I think the battle was really close both had fire moments and meh moments. But its been steady and consistent.

I gave the first round to Sam I Am I liked his punches better

2nd to Isaac he was way more consistent and smooth 

3rd was close pretty even and goes back and forth edge to Isaac Knox 

I gave the OT to Sam I Am

Specializing in rap battles, concerts, open mics, and more from our divisions across the Twin Cities, Missouri, and the Chicagoland area. We have totaled over 1.7 million views and over 8000 subscribers on our YouTube channel and been featured on MTV, the Source, and HipHopDX among other established media outlets all while working with some of the most talented performers in battle rap and underground hip hop. Feel free to browse all the content both old and new.

*** Battle rap (also known as rap battling) is a type of rapping that includes bragging, insults and boasting content. Battling can occur on recorded albums, though rap battles are often recited or freestyled spontaneously in live battles, "where MCs will perform on the same stage to see who has the better verses".

Following the resurgence of freestyle battling in the 21st century, competitions began to move to TV shows shown on HBO, BET, and MTV. In addition, Eminem's movie 8 Mile introduced a fantasized version of freestyle battling to mainstream movie audiences, as the raps are scripted beforehand with much review.

From the late 1990s to end of the 2000s, freestyle rapping became very popular, with many artists getting attention for new styles, charisma, and witty punchlines in battles such as Scribble Jam and Rocksteady. These battles were usually three rounds to each, and the MC's would switch turns while rapping over older rap instrumentals.

Eventually, battle rap moved to a format which is now the predominant form of battle rap, where two emcees battle against each other without a beat, trading pre-written verses in three-round battles. The impromptu aspect of battling still exists in the form of rebuttals, which are short rhymes (usually in the beginning of a verse) where an emcee either comments on something about their opponent that was thought up on the spot (for instance, making fun of the shirt they're wearing), or responds to something their opponent said during their previous round. While not as prominent as it once was, the art of rebutting is still respected by many as difficult to do correctly, and a sign of a well-rounded emcee.

RedFlagVsSketchMenace

It's a battle that seems to be a small skateboarding theme as they both skateboarders

I dont get allot of the skateboarding bars

But I liked the battle for the parts I did get.

Red Flag is really good the way he puts his rhymes and schemes together. Everything rhymes well He has good internal multis throughout. Multiplepunches in a line and setups make sense

Sketch Menace was very similar but I figured he is just a bit better.

Hes much more smoother with his flow and delivery. Some find it boring but I like it

Red Flag had greatname flips and I think he used better angles in attacking Sketch then Sketched used on him

Round 1 Sketch Menance

Round 2  Red Flag 

Round 3 Red Flag

This was a close battle first watch gave it to Sketch but i'medging to Red Flag
