I'm guessing that you already had to be competing to participate in the finals?

Yea. It was tournament style. The finals is the final two.

BurraKatha, PM me your email. I've got an email list I can add you to, I'll send messages out with battle info. Also go look for HDC, I'm sure you can find someone there who will battle you right now.

Final battle is in, I'm going to throw it up in a couple of seconds.

Obsideo makes good beats people will hate it/sleep on it because its the finals and they all want everything to be over-hype but because this isn't World Wrestling Federation it ain't, maybe if we hired writers.

Probably. It's a good beat, but the final beat needed way more energy to convey the weight of the situation. I was expecting a hard ass, epic instrumental and a battle that would be a fitting conclusion to the months of shit talking and buildup.

I was probably hoping for too much, but this battle left me with an empty feeling. Plus, what the fuck was up with the huge volume difference? That killed it for me. That and the shameless self-promotion from both sides. "Durr, hit me up on facebook/youtube/whateverthefuck". Sorry but that's pretty lame to me.

You are both great rappers, but this battle was not what I expected. It sounded like you guys were just burnt out from the competition or something.

I have so many opinions on all of this, but I'll wait until the voting is done to address everything you just said.

I think the beat itself actually did well at conveying the "final battle" nature of it...

I do agree that the verses weren't quite there. Perhaps if they had made it 4 verses each, or at least 3... That would have made it stand out from the other battles.

Anyway, I think Square went on the defensive too much, responding to SJD's disses too much, instead of inventing his own. He did invent many of his own, but it seemed like it was responding too much.

Anyway, good battles all round this year. I'm voting SJD, and no, he didn't pay me to write this, lol...

Actually, on second thought, I'm voting Square. I was hypnotised by SJD's shouting for a while, but on second listen, Square has better punchlines.

Flip-flopping like a fish outta water.

Good-ass final battle, I thought. Don't get why everyone's hating on the beat.

Red, when's the next mini-competition?

IDK what the intro and outro has to do with the actual battle but okay. I already know what Scuare is thinking. It's obvious.

Listened to the battle on my iPod, I'll vote tonight. But I gotta say I'm pretty disappointed with the choice for the beat. It was way to boring for the conclusion of the comp. I was expecting a much bigger and more energetic piece. The fact that sjd brought a lot more energy to his parts is gonna give him a huge advantage IMO, but I'll listen to it again when I'm home on my computer.


Smoke me, I'm dope.

The self promotion isn't going to affect my vote at all. I was just saying that it was kind of lame in this situation (plus both of them did it so it cancels out anyway).

I was just expecting more. I liked the beat, but not for this final battle. I am a fan of both of these emcees, but thought that they could have done much better. The volume differences really threw me off. I'd also like to point out that I had impossibly high hopes for this battle, which has a lot to do with my reaction.

You people aren't gonna make me change my style just because I have a powerful voice a la Scarface, DMX, Charlie Tuna. Just cuz I am able to project better than 99% of rappers doesn't take away from my style; it adds to it.

So interesting how people interpret things. What, should I whisper? Hold back so you can "focus" more on the lyrics? Not gonna happen. Yall need to catch up, cuz I'm not slowin down.

Not takin nuthin away from Scuare's punk ass, cuz now that it's over I can admit he's a good rapper. Vote 4 who you like.

But my style is my style and everything that makes me unique is not a weakness, it's a strength. I'm gonna ram it down your stupid throats until you all get it.


no, really...DON'T CLICK THE PIC
