Madflex
Great flows by both, had to go with Madflex. His delivery was sick. But I'm a big fan of both of them. I think Big Red talking in-between each 16 kind of ruined this song though. We all know this was the last round... You didn't have to announce it 20 times through the song.

Again Flex shows his sick flow and he just is a natural rapper. Gasmaq picked up on his punch lines in the end, however it just isn't enough to beat Flex's lyricism. To me, MadFLex owned, again.
Damn
This was a dope battle. No offense to Red, Flex, Gas, OR Delinquent, but I think that's a little fucked up to have Gas rap over a Delinquent beat.. only because, I dont know what it is, but I think its obvious that his flow is always better on a Delinquent beat. Lol Irrelevant but I figured I'd mention it.
HOWEVER, I think Gas stepped up A LOT. At some parts, it does seem like hes trying too hard and you could tell he was losing his breath at the exact end. He had some very good flips but I didn't like the "parents" line, that is so played out, its newgrounds, most of these kids live with their parents so it all seems irrelevant to me. Also, Gas seemed to just be trying to fit too many syllables into 1 bar so many times. Took me away from the battle and made it seem off-beat.
Flex always seems natural with his flow no matter what. He had some very good disses and the way he says things just makes them funnier, to be honest. Once again, I don't know what it is, but he just does. He also seems angry without being angry? I don't know. He had some pretty dope lines and the obviously better flow, but not as many hard-hitting personals as Gasmasq. I think Flex's 2nd verse got him the battle though.
My vote goes to Flex.
TO BE HONEST
This was everything the anticipation was amping it up to be. I'm not going to say one artist thrashed the other one. This, no matter what ANYBODY says prior to or after this review, was a CLOSE battle. So let's start if off, shall we?
V.1 MadFlex:
Allllllllllll the multi's were nice. The ass crack line, could've been different. I know how it was meant, but sounds a little gay lol. Carl's Jr. is the SHIT! Hardee's for people that don't know what that place is. And if he works there really, great to call him out on it. Nice personal. Bringing up the fact he was on stage with his Mayor, not so great. I actually think it's an accomplishment to have that happen, but the punch about him begging his fans to clap was a good follow-up. And you mentioned my name, which is a plus lmao. Double down like blackjack was a good metaphor. Nice using big words (FINALLY) with transitive property. Anthrax, ether, arsenic...got all the good poisons in there. Exit line was GREAT. Hiding behind a mask (which would've been flipped so well by me if I was in Gas's shoes).
V.1 Gas:
Nice flip on transitive property (Gas is actually correct with this flip). You made a nice point that Flex used the same rhyme scheme with minimal syllables. Pointed out the fact that he has nothing to show for his hip-hop experience. Nice play on his name. Not great, but not bad either. Not a great flip on him talking about touching your ass crack, but a good play on words with the group name KOA (Kiss Our Asses). Not a bad exit with the multi's.
V.2 MadFlex
Again with the multi's throughout. Also, the line about not kissing Gas's ass and making a personal about Gas's album. Nice personal about his "status" as an artist crashing open mic's. Call KOA for pity votes is a nice punch as well. I'm disappointed there wasn't at least an attempt to re-flip the transitive property line, but I suppose that wouldn't have worked anyway. The alt accounts was done too much in the battle. The marriage going bad, the bills unpaid, all good exit punches.
V.2 Gas
First opening bars were all jewels from someone that's been spittin' for 5+ years lol. That's not entirely a long time, but since we don't know exactly how long Flex has been putting hip-hop together, it's still basically showing off. Pointing out another person using his name, or vice versa him using someone else's name. The tampon fetish with Cynic. Even though the "living with your parents" line has been over used as well, it fit well when speaking about Flex's dad paying for his domain name lol. Whether that's true or not, it was still a good punch. Haunting Flex if he really murdered you was a good way to end it.
So, there you have it. Fuck voting, they tie. Overtime. I know it won't happen, but that's my vote. Gas threw more punches, but Flex said more. Gas flipped a few things, Flex flipped a few things. Their flows were both on point and clear. I call it a draw.
Stay up,
