AY, HEK, you can SPRAY TECS, I’m looking down on you from the APEX like a sniper scope on a RAISED DE…

Sorry, must be something wrong with my keyboard. Let me start again real quick:

Hey you can spray tecs, I’m looking down on you from the apex like a sniper scope on a raised deck…
Was planned for tomorrow but wait we’ll delay death til the day next, coz this post-pwned you and it’s not close… that’s a range Hek (/a raincheck).

I’d take out Teef for nothing, putting on a clinic. he comes with a bunch of generic lines when dropping lyrics…
I’ll drown this pedo in the ocean off Australia and it’s not a gimmick so we both got punchlines that are nonce-Pacific.

I’mma come rip the ticker straight out of your chest, shit fam,
Yeah I’ll be going to Aus just to leave with a heart like the tin man.
Or the scarecrow, I might visit Aus just to take your brain, the way you WRITE’S kinda SHITE, you should be straight ashamed,
You’ll face disdain, the prize is mine, I came to gain great acclaim, we both capitalise on rhymes but we ain’t the same.

My boy FAQ said you rep Let’s Beef as your main pursuit, you only came to Rap Battles to take the loot.
You think you’ve got game but it ain’t compute, holding down LB while hitting RB… I’mma aim and shoot!

Heck… I didn’t wanna curse but it’s like I’m a vexed zombie, he’d best headshot me,
Coz I’m displaying my brains and *BLAOW!!* now I’ve got Hek’s on me.

Oh hey, FaQ, how you been?
Pretty good broski, you?
Yeah not bad. Sorry, can’t chat, I’m only allowed 1080 charac

- - - Updated - - -

Explanations:

Sniper scope, not close - range Hek
Delay death, post pwned / postponed - raincheck
Pwned is leetspeak for ‘owned’, a raincheck is postponing something, Also a range / arrange - postpone.

Nonce pacific / non-specific. Nonce is uk slang for a pedo, Pacific is the ocean off Australia. A lot of his punchlines are non-specific coz they could apply to anyone, my punchline for that line was nonce pacific.

Aus - Oz, wizard of Oz bars. Tin Man goes to Oz to get a heart, scarecrow goes to get a brain. I’mma go to Australia and leave with his organs.

Capitalise on rhymes - I’m gonna win the cash prize, he writes his rhymes in capitals. Not the same.

LB & RB - Let’s Beef & Rap Battles, or the left and right shoulder buttons on a controller. Ubiquitous control scheme for first person shooters is holding down LB to aim and then hitting RB to shoot.

People say ‘Heck’ when they don’t want to curse, zombies are cursed (ie. Haitian zombies), zombies brains are on display, headshotting him and getting his (Hek’s) brains on me, Hek’s/hex, getting a hex on me means getting cursed.

Blue text are FaQ’s lines, referring back to our doubles round. Not really though, I wrote all of these ones.
No he didn’t!
Yeah I did. Shuddup FaQ.

[Slayerr.]

Hek actually came pretty good here I liked the concrete line the trouble with your other lines ks they’re good concepts and would sound good audio but just don’t hold up to the complexity required for text battling
Virb came with absolute fire and was on top of his game here, nonce specific was hard af post pwned was a bit shit coz I needed your expo only gimps know how to pronounce that word, LB RB was a great concept but thought the riding fell a bit flat.

Overall hek came alright but wasn’t at the level required virb had some of the best bars I’ve seen this tourney and nonce specific was one of the best bars I’ve seen ever

V/virb

think he action man?? get it virbious??, but get 'turned to stone' when I spit 'Crete' (concrete) coz he thought he was PERSEUS!!
Action man the greatest hero of them all! Not sure the 'get it?' was needed but it sets the turned to stone part up nicely. I fuck with the Crete idea & Perseus was at one time the greatest Greek hero of them all which ties back to action man & virb/verb nameflip, this is a more complex bar than it appears at first glance, dope shit
I'm MERCILESS so there's no French thank you here, I'll beat you to a pulp like a g should Teafy ain't one to be so COURTEOUS!!..
Tres bon idea with merciless, if a "french thank you" was a thing like a German suplex it would've hit harder
and you a LATE ENTRY tryna reunite with the tourney call him GREAT GATSBY
but still end up getting 'fucked like a bitch' like FAKE TAXI!!
The great gatsby links a bit loose, ashamedly I am aware of fake taxi, the simile works but it's straying from the level you set with the first bar
I'm 'smoking fags' so this GAY MATCH ME?? nah he ain't got the 'balls to roll the dice' or PLAY YAHTZEE!!
Lol lighting cigs with a match takes me back to high school, joke line. The roll the dice idea was nice & would've hit if that's how you'd ended the line & had some yahtzee wordplay beforehand, maybe even back-a-rat or some shit, it just seems a bit fillerish as it is
wouldn't 'sling him a hundred for PAID ACTING he another 'wannabe Jesus back from the dead' coz SLAY CLAPPED HIM!!..
lol come on bro how you gonna go from wild links in your first bar to "wouldn't sling him a hundred for paid acting" as a jesus bar set up, I think I'm reaching trying to put some Jesus was staged spin on it. I think I get where you were going with the slay / sleigh clapped him thing though, santa has pretty much buried christianity at xmas so that was decent
prolly another no show ANYWAY LAD his only here to get 'clowned on again' like PENNYWISE CAME BACK!!
the SEMI FIRES TO MAIM WACKS coz he ain't 'still from the block' coz JENNY LIED WITH THOSE LAME RAPS!!..
and it ain't V FOR VICTORY I'ma 'hurt him so bad he'll PLEAD FOR MISERY!!..
ya whole MAGAZINE IS MISSING ME, if I leave him with a 'black eye' then how is he a VISIONARY!!
Started the verse off strong and directly attacking Virb with the nameflip, when you got everything linking to your opponent shits landing but after that it drifted off into indirect "any wordplay will do" territory, which can be dope in between attacks on the other battler but there ought to be more of the writing tailored to Virb & breaking him down. Action man - turned to stone - crete - perseus connections were ill though

AY, HEK, you can SPRAY TECS, I’m looking down on you from the APEX like a sniper scope on a RAISED DE…

Sorry, must be something wrong with my keyboard. Let me start again real quick:

lol joke, tbf he's come from LB where the majority write like that for some reason

Hey you can spray tecs, I’m looking down on you from the apex like a sniper scope on a raised deck…
Was planned for tomorrow but wait we’ll delay death til the day next, coz this post-pwned you and it’s not close… that’s a range Hek (/a raincheck).
That's a cold opening bar, post-pwned / range Hek is hard & the set up flows & links with it smooth, solid start.

I’d take out Teef for nothing, putting on a clinic. he comes with a bunch of generic lines when dropping lyrics…
I’ll drown this pedo in the ocean off Australia and it’s not a gimmick so we both got punchlines that are nonce-Pacific.
Haha I was thinkin "where the fucks he going with this?" then that nonce pacific landed, funny as shit & a fresh aussie angle too

I’mma come rip the ticker straight out of your chest, shit fam,
Yeah I’ll be going to Aus just to leave with a heart like the tin man. jeeeez
Or the scarecrow, I might visit Aus just to take your brain, the way you WRITE’S kinda SHITE, you should be straight ashamed,
You’ll face disdain, the prize is mine, I came to gain great acclaim, we both capitalise on rhymes but we ain’t the same.
this is a dope example of not needing to use wild wordplay for the bar to land, well written, point made & direct

My boy FAQ said you rep Let’s Beef as your main pursuit, you only came to Rap Battles to take the loot.
You think you’ve got game but it ain’t compute, holding down LB while hitting RB… I’mma aim and shoot!
LB / RB angle is dope, liked it so much I used it against FAQ lol

Heck… I didn’t wanna curse but it’s like I’m a vexed zombie, he’d best headshot me,
Coz I’m displaying my brains and *BLAOW!!* now I’ve got Hek’s on me.
Decent hex nameflip on the closer too, and the brains on me, well executed

Oh hey, FaQ, how you been?
Pretty good broski, you?
Yeah not bad. Sorry, can’t chat, I’m only allowed 1080 charac

1084 but that was including the raincheck explanation and yes I am a crank

I think if HEK comes a little more direct || he'll bounce back from this, you cram a lot of wordplay into your writing but it's aimless if you're not going directly at your opponent. You're allowed to take time to set up the punch too, a steady build up can make the payoff way better. Once you incorporate that you'll be dangerous cos it's not like you're short of ideas for wordplay. You still got 1 life left bro lets get it.
Virb was on point consistently, variety of punching styles that were all set up nicely & landed well, all relevant to the opponent & nothing too forced so I got Virb with the W

[Jack Hallows]

got Virb taking this.

HEK is wild with the multies, i love it. but some of the punches weren’t hitting as hard as they could’ve. still had a couple sluggers though, i fucked with the opening set up.. kinda feel like the second line should’ve been the set up with the set up being the punch, if that makes sense. def a solid opener though. the Great Gatsby / fake taxi shit was fire lmao.. i fuck with the yahtzee set up too. Teaf be knowing how to set his shit up. punches need just a little more fine tuning to create haymakers but the formula is all there. i was loving the Jenny from the block line too. HEK is constantly elevating & continuously impressing me with the volume of flows dude has under the belt. some of his best work here as far as set ups and the types of punches thrown. definitely good shit H.

Virb be on some other shit sometimes… well, all the time but i’m being COURTEOUS lmao.

i gotta say, i been noticing that dude been saying more with less of the overwriting of bars that i hated before & it’s a vast improvement. cheeky jab with the fake open. every bar was hitting. there wasn’t any filler so i don’t need to quote anything. the craziest fucking bar was the LB RB shit. shit was nuts, LOTB. overall clean execution. good shit man impressive verse.

i will say that i had HEK as the underdog going in but dude ain’t perform like one, bro held his own, Virb just came with better angles & personals were on point.

dope battle gents.

Howl.
