A'ight, both verses had flow problems, in my opinion. Each had moments when the flow really worked and both had moments when it was horrifically forced. Overall, I think CREAM took the flow points....

In Shady's verse, I felt the lines "cuz you and me both kow who they voting for//the only way you winning this is if you break my keyboard" and the killer closer "and lastly, C_R_E_A_M stands for Cash Rules Everything Around Me//not Cocksucking Rookie getting Eating by All Mc's.." By far the best line in the battle and an excellent spot to stop on. But, on the other side of the coin, "First//i got that sick flow making mc's cough see//second, your name is something that i put in my coffee" is really really forced to me. Sounds, to me, like you came up with the line about coffee and couldn't think of shit to rhyme it with...I can understand that when the punch is really really sick...but the coffee line is, in my opinion, mediocre at best and not worth the weak couplet.

In CREAMs verse, I was feeling the lines "im getin a visual...the outcome of this battle is predictable...after i spit to this prick,he'll be like spirits...invisible...my rap form is criticle...nuthin but truth i spit,writen like somethin biblical" which flows really well, has some clever wordplay and is overall just tight. "my verbal tactics cause chain reactions like atoms...ya played flows,i blazed those kuz when i was a preteen i been had em..." Here, the lines are nice, but the rhythm is very tight. On the other hand,
"im whipN this slave,he's bein a hard head...so i'll kill u then cover u in cement so u can really be hard dead..." throws the flow off a bit and, realistically, just doesn't hit all that hard...not even sure it makes any fuckin' sense. ::grin::

Both rhymes were a'ight, I think CREAM came a little harder and with a few better lines so I gotta give it to him. I'd say work on better punches (they gotta HIT, go for that "Ohhhhhhhhhhhh SHIT factor"); I always look for lines when I'd say "god damn, I wish I'd a thought of that" and I didn't see much of that here.

Peace, E
