I like the other person to go 1st so I can see what I'm up against...ya know...ain't no use in using a good verse on a wack kid...and there is no use in using an average verse against a dope mc...cause it's happened to me too many timez where I used dope versez on no-showz and garbage kidz and therefore they were just wasted when I coulda used a regular battle verse and still won...
