do your research.

Enygma-
(no intro)
Flo: Not that good. Didn't seem to catch on the beat that much. Didn't mix well.
Delivery: Some emotion, still seemed a little mono. Same tone thru-out.
Punches: They were ok. A little self hype and mother lines.
Beat: Commercial, pretty played.
Quality: Vocal's were a tad bit louder than what was need'd. Lil fizzy also.
LoT-
Intro: Kinda funny.
Flo:Nice. On beat. Fit very well.
Delivery:Good emotion, emphasized on punches an gave a good feeling thru out.
Punches: Couldn't hear a majority. The one's I heard were OK. good personals.
Beat:Good Beat. One I haven't heard. Original shit. To me atleast.
Quality: Vocal's too low. Like you said. Plays a big factor. Had I heard more of your punches.

Vote/LoT

oh man ..this was an ok battle but lot..won this all the way..

due to...

flow - on beat..nice and steady..it was goin wit it nicely..i liked that alot..

delivery - once again nice, could of cut some words short in some lines..but still that didnt manage to down play ya shit na'mean..

punches - ok,...i sure as hell think dudes like you just startin must find a way to be alot more creative..but more of in the sense..thinkin of some shit really unexpected..catch my drift?..not to say yo punches lacked..its that when you write rhymes..it has to show that you actually took the time to "WRITE'EM" feel me..but still nice work..

quality - decent should of raised ya vocals a bit more but still ok..

and for my man enygma ..man if you ever need some one to mix ya shit down let me know..cuz you obviously aint good at it..just pace ya self next time na'mean..that beat was way too main stream for a tournament called "Got Skillz" be..feel me..but w.e...

My vote - Liquor of Tears

engyma

beat choice - mainstream but catchy really played tho

flow - iight flow, was off on a few points

content - nice lyrics and punches but they're compared to your text son

quality - so crap, u need to practice using yo program and i could hear u clicking yo mouse after the track had finished that kinda ruined the feelin's

5/10

lot

beat choice - hot beat, i have used the same myself before, but its sounds like u have distorted it a bit

flow - was on point much better than enygma's,

content - better lyrics than engyma but stil lacking genius, wasent feelin the intro or the plain intrumental after it.

quality - better quality but mixing was a bit rough vocals need raising, but sounded more like a diss track than E's

6/10

vote lot

I'll edit this with a vote in a second-- i listened to each once but soundclick is fuckin with me now-- wanna get a second listen in so I can drop some good feedback.


Iight--- Enygma-- Lyrically you were on point, I think you wrote a nice verse, but you had some major problems throwin it on the beat you chose-- There were multiple parts where you fell off flow, but the end was the worse part I noticed-- This and a lacking of emotion really hurt you-- Keep on workin on it.

Lot- somethin went wrong in mixdown-- you know this- we know this-- I couldn't really make out alot of your verse, but the emotion and flow was there- You just gotta get some more experience with the production end.

Lyrics-- Give it to Enygma cuz I could actually understand him because he was closer to the desired sound levels.
Delivery/Flow- Lot-- You flowed well and I didn't hear you trying to slow down or speed up to catch back with the beat like your opponent.
Overall Enjoyment- Neither honestly they both had their problems- its to be expected in round 1- nobody wants to show off their best shit yet-- but I gotta give the vote to Lot because he spit with more intensity and consitency. 1
