flow is really the last thing people look for so ye obviously punches and wordplay before flow but flow is important to your piece or else it wouldn't be good

Wording of text verses is one of the key aspects.

first and foremost punches are the main aspect of any battle, after all the idea of battling is to diss your opponents (unless you are battling topical, poetry or gfx) so before anything you must have punches. personal punches are better than standard punches cuz they are more direct in ripping your opponent. next thing is wordplay, throw in some dope wordplay and it makes the punch better. also you dont wanna be basic in your delivery, the more complex the punch is the better, as long as it is funny and not just some gayness. obvioulsy you need to flow well cuz if ya verse aint got no flow then ppl wont wanna read it........flow is more important when you are battling in audio cuz if there is no flow then it is wack....

so to sum up, i wud say punches are more important than flow, however wordplay isnt cuz a verse that is packed with punches and flows well will beat any verse that has punches and wordplay but there is no flow to it.

Flow should be the last thing you worry about after punches and wordplay and creativity.

thats dumb...there aint really no flow in text...We could both read the same verse but i could flow it differently....there is no flow...its more of a structure...which is kinda important.....but punches are the most important thing...and wordplay which just makes the punch better........

No such thing as a text flow.

Punches are important.. wordplay is too if you don't use it like a faggot with all these ~~~"~"~~"~"~?~?~~?~?~`/`/`/`'s and shit.
