Voted For: Empire

This was actually a pretty solid battle, Ima have to take a closer look at this one to decide a winner...

Starting - Emp, got right into how you felt inside, and provided details about how the loved one died

Ending - Valor, had a touching ending, quite emotional after reading the entire verse

Structure - Valor, Cleaner, organized, centered, lookin good, some bars coulda been shortened/lengthened, but well done

Vocab - Emp, you took this one quite easily, not only were most of your lyrics tech/emphisizing, it was consistant

Multies - Emp used quite a few in his verse, whereas I did not see any in Valor's

Metas - None, thought ya'll woulda tryed to use sum, didnt catch any tho

Staying on topic - Emp, both did well in this area but I feel he went into more detail about it all and took it to another level

Wordplay - Emp, Valor's was pretty basic in the sense that he was quite blunt about everything, Emp had great descriptive words that helped to understand the emotions to the verse

Storyline's Creativness - Tie, both were very creative ideas with the overall storyline and how it played out

Emp: It was a good topical between the both of you but I feel you took this one because of how I broke it all down above ^^, Next time all I would have to say is try makin your structure a bit cleaner and try using metas, they give verses great effects. great job tho dawg...8.95/10

Valor: It was a great battle man, I was just feeling Emps a bit more. I liked your closer it was dope. I think you need to try using better vocab next time tho...If you can use words that are more descriptive to the feeling/emotions of a topical, it allows the reader to really feel what your tryna say, ya know? Also, multies and metas like in a reg. battle play a nice role in topicals, it gives it a little extra spice. Overall...6.80/10

This was a great topical to read and I wanna say no beef, I just critique battles as I see them...honest vote only...props to both for the great work youve both done, payce....
