Reviews for "NGHH'11 - Cynic vs HeIsAlive"

Cynic

always like a good battle with some history.
Boxing scores.

Wordplay: 10-8, Cynic
The "HeIsAlive" name references were solid with the autopsy and limping stuff. HeisAlive tried with the pedastal line, but pedastool is not a word and it was pretty general.

Delivery: 10-9, Cynic
Cynic has a rhyme scheme that moves around well. HeIsAlive did well with his rhymes, but Cynic is tough. HeIsAlive has done a bouncy iambic pentameter type flow (da duhda duhda) for his last 3 battles without any variation. I think if you changed up your rhyme scheme to a different beat pattern every once in a while, it would give some versatility.

Content: 10-9 Cynic
Cynic made it a little more personal, even though both used a good amount of filler. HeIsAlive spent most of his first verse talking about how smart he was, and it could have been used against anyone in this competition. I would have liked for him to focus in more on Cynic on a personal level..or on ANY level. My favorite line came from HeIsAlive though, with the "we just collaborated" finish.

Cynic overall in a respectable battle. Both get props.

Cynic

The first verse was the first "OH SHIT!" moment of the competition. I didn't think HeIsAlive could send back a decent response, and I was right. I would leave this with enough said, but I figure I should add that HeIsAlive's whole verse and rhyme scheme seemed reused from the hype track and the illmortal battle.

Cynic

HeIsAlive's mic quality made it hard to listen to. The style seemed a bit recylced. The vocabulary was impressive, but without the delivery they loose there power.
Cynic killed it.
Wordplay>Dictionary.

this is tough

Cynic for the flow but helsalive for over all lyrics.

Cynic - By a Quantum Leap

The bookworm may have gotten Honor Roll, but he didn't get laid for a reason - Everything he said sounded horribly awkward. Also, instead of dropping the big words just because you can, try making something worthwhile out them... Y'know... Like a clever wordsmith is supposed to do. Silly trogladyte.
