[CLAB - Jar vs Breaker]

Yo, this was...adorable? Am I--am I even fucking allowed to SAY that about a rap battle?

[Street Art- AxTekk]

Man, we really need to start up a movement of 5 bombers if only just to balance out that bullshit half a star. Guess someone has a grudge, huh? Stupid people aside, this beat is awesome. I like how you incorporate different styles each time.

[FoxyBrownBoots]

I hear a little BSS is in this track. Regardless, this is sexy.

[SunsetSupras]

This is so good I forgot to plug my dying laptop back into the wall 3 times before I finally did. A great mix of jazziness and psychedelia. Just jammin'.

[ByeByeBrobie (outro)]

I really like this. I don't know much about the technical aspects of production so I can't really give you any in-depth criticism, but I've always loved piano loops. And the beat itself has some nice variation.

[Heebie Jeebies feat. SJD]

Haha, SJD, how's it feel to be doing your SECOND verse for this beat? :P But I certainly cannot deny the awesomeness of said beat, or how you two manhandle it. As CogSpin said, the back in forth stuff is awesome, rappers should really do that more often. Reminds me of Black Star, and anything that reminds me of Black Star is cool in my book. I do find it funny that (probably by mere coincidence) your outro sounds exactly the same as on that other song.

[CLAB - suddle vs Richard]

Well, if suddle was too offensive, Antman played too much defense. As a result, suddle's disses were much more personal, but Antman had clever rebuttals. Both rappers I think were equally good if stylistically different in terms of flow, making this a very even fight. However, like a Street Fighter match, you can't just sit in a corner and block to win, you need to attack. And RJA didn't do enough of that for my tastes. Good game, but suddle to advance.
