Voted For: Mag.Nif.I.Cent

aight this was a very good topic first off.... i read both twice, and i loved the stand point of Magnificent's.. his imagery was very well developed, he started from stating how it felt like he had no friends cuz the drugs was the replacement to the sleepin in the alley, getting pissed on, and getting sick.. and how he used to be a rich person and free with his mind and spirit--but u can see the transition clearly, throughout his writing.. and he came up with a conclusion--how drugs wasn't the answer and then dies at the end.. so he was speaking from a dead person's perspective-- I find that very effective to the reader.. that u can start off with an major perspective that people can relate to, but then go deeper inside the issue.. that was really nice, the word use was very creative, rhyme was nice-- even tho u didn't need any at all.. i say 9.6/10 for magnificent.. i seen no str8 flaws within this..

Dabatos-
i was feeling your stand point too.. i liked how u started off "blaming" the drug like most people would do-- so i find that very realistic.. but it's like u stated it as a fault but didn't continue it.. u went off into saying how u tried it once, but not connecting the two (in my opinion).. u had nice imagery also, but ur points didn't connect--that's my main problem with yours.. i liked the part that said:
I did know well, after one try, dat i'll stick wit this sad addiction..
I was warned n didn't listen, now wishin that blunt i was never givin...
^cuz it's like the person finally owned up to responsibility.. your flow was really nice, rhyme scheme was really good.. i just was feeling how it was going throughout- not a really good connection... but it wasn't bad.. i say 8.7/10

Good luck.. you two, but Magnif. gets the vote..
