i feel Jack wording was more aggressive ... for a champ match could have been stronger.. maybe alot of this was over the head .. i'll give it a few days and come back a read it again..
but vote Jack for now
Buckshots crack spot— bucks=gunshot or money, fiends get money and go straight to get crack..
Bucks breaking him like making change, life change after you hit the jackpot..
Mexican do a murder spin,— an illegal immigrant is called an alien
Tourniquet— an improvised string used to cut off blood circulation to save the rest of your limb or save ya life.. but I’m also using as a gun squeezing..
one finger getting lit for homez like ET’s arms..—- ET is a old movie and in the movie when he says phone home he points and his finger glows..
If I land shots it’s a beach bar,— island shots drinks or I land them..
4 in bodies / foreign bodies, but steel in you ese — still in USA/ you ese is Spanish for you man —like you died in PR —-PR or Puerto Rico is a Spanish island so seems foreign but still considered a US territory..
oppose’ faq- a pose like a picture —--before and after pics pictures that the person body change because they work out..
BODY BAG— SMASHED TO BITS,”— literally a bag of chips— the saying all that and a bag of chips means you think you’re too good..
You must’ve forgotten—- brain matter running jog ya memory...
A loud gun (pound) acid is a compound or calm pound and is used to get rid of body’s
FAQ - Honestly I need to hear faq say some of this word play in his accent coz to me most of it is a reach at best; 4 in body just sounds awful when I say it out loud, a pose/oppose was okay but still wasn’t quite a clean attempt to me. Island shots was dope though but overall I feel like some of the word play didn’t work to me and threw me off your verse and your punchlines weren’t as well executed as usual. I feel like you’ve come better and I don’t know if it’s just me but I’m not fucking with this too much.
Jack - Again I feel the same as I did about faqs, not fucking with this too much. I like the nursery rhyme but the set up was needlessly long, Reddit bar was meh, mad coincidence you both had tourniquet in your verses. I really liked face paint the pavement and hare outta the hat was a dope closer.
Maybe it’s just the way I’m feeling personally when voting today but both these verses just fell really flat to me with the exception of jacks closer and face paint the pavement. Those bars were enough for the W but overall his verse was just more direct and attacking

Yall bout to get jack popped he must be smoking crack rock..
The hollows a fiend cuz soon as I give him bucks these bitches flying straight to a crack spot.. out the gate, i fuck with the bucks/crack spot $$$/2 minutes of intense paranoia in a shit hole wordplay heavy, I'm looking to pick fault though so rhyming crack rock & crack spot was a little less polished than perfect but otherwise dope
So many bucks shot when he breaks its life change like I hit a jackpot../
Have my Mexican do a murder spin, wit the burner gripped, it’s a tourniquet, they gon squeeze off..fiiire, from the imagery of a mexican doing a murder spin, which could be a cartel dance move, to the stacked relevant multis then solid punch
Yeah I’ll Have an alien beam dog, one finger getting lit for homez like ET’s arms.. aight not bad, I've heard a lot of ET bars about lightin em up with the finger etc so it didn't hit at full force for me but it was ok
If I land shots it’s a beach bar, nice subtle extra in the set up
you dug ya own grave I’ll put bullets from a 4 in bodies that steal in you ese like you died in PR..// Torn on this one, the 4 in bodies wordplays been done to death, so I kinda resigned to it being naff, but the follow up was a fresh take on it so I rate that
We got Lord Faq vs ALL HOLLOWS till i pack this’ kid…
All who ‘oppose’ faq- im snapping quick, wit new angles bitch, not bad
it’ll be a NEW BODY EVERY CARD like -before and after pics… talk
But first ima stomp him To Death “BODY BAG— SMASHED TO BITS,”
Cuz after this,
Yall gon say jack still all That and a ‘BAG OF CHIPS’.. this was ok, I missed it first read cuz I haven't heard the idiom before but technically works well
You must’ve forgotten who the fuck I am, but I fucks wit jack, dog got energy… but this head shot gon have brain matter running down ya face so let me jog ya memory...lets go
ill up a 45. thats a loud pound but to get rid of his body ill calm down n' grab hydrochloric acid thats a compound aint no way he bailing it out..
i gave him a shot but he never killed shit or played wit rounds.. so i got to show him how to catch a body then get rid of it so let me break it down.. I like the elements relating to HCl / compound / break it down, thought you might have been bringin it full circle back to the initial crack / base line, but I hated the calm pound wordplay when Unfukwitable dropped it in a cypher & it hasn't grown on me. Might be a cultural thing but it doesn't sound right, if you told me "yo, just gave him a calm pound" I'd assume a gentle bumming or dapping someone up nonchalantly, other than that though you deffo showed up for this my dude

heads, shoulders, knees, toes. cops’ll walk in ya kids room & leave w/ a whole nursery rhyme This was ill, built tension into the build up to the punch really well & it landed hard as a cats head in a freezer

when DA assistant pull ya hare outta the hat wonderin WHERE THE FUCK THE REST OF YA FACE WENT.. Hard closer as well, glad you haven't been disheartened by last week, which I've re-read on a few different occasions and my opinion changes depending on what day it is
Howl at me…
Another close one, anyone would think we're at the end of the tourney with only the best left. Got to give Faq credit for packing so much in, I feel kinda bad cuz I know a lot of the concepts you use are fresh to you since you're relatively new to battling, IE not still here after 10 years like a lot of other people on here, but if I've heard it before it just doesn't have that same impact for me. I think people will have a hard time keeping up with you once you get through that phase, the original shit you drop is sick, that eureka bar from last week is one of the stand out bars of the tourney.
Jack's execution of the bars and build up to the punches was on top form here, the arrangement can make a huge difference and the tourniquet line & necktie shit were on point. Plus everything was new to me so had that extra va va voom. I could see someone who hadn't spunked so much time away watching battles voting for Faq if the concepts were new to them, but I got Jack taking the W on this one.
Vote Jack
@FaQEyeReddit there isn't a 3rd place playoff in a double elimination so based on the current votes you've finished 3rd, impressive shit considering your standard when you joined RB, hard works paid off, congrats. Prize money will be getting sorted out after the final is wrapped up so either next week if Virb wins or the week after if Jack wins the next round.
Good shit both. I’m glad the vote’s already decisive coz I wasn’t looking forward to having to call it. ‘The brain matter running / jog your memory’ bar and the nursery rhyme one were particular favourites.
No problem with the pronunciation in FaQ’s, seems legit to me. Deducting points for the ‘calm pound’ wp coz I’m still suffering ptsd from losing to that godawful ‘calm pound Virb’ shit in the cypher (sorry Unfuk, I shouldn’t speak ill of the dead). I agree that the ET and four-in / foreign puns have been used too many times, but whenever FaQ uses those touchstone wordplays it seems to be as a building block to set up for something more original. The ‘steel in you ese’ / ‘still in USA’ payoff was super creative and more than justified it.
Jack’s verse was a solid Jack verse. Varied writing, brutal bars with some amusing bits sprinkled in to provide moments of levity, complex ideas interspersed with relatively simple but impactful lines which make for a pleasing change of pace and a compelling read throughout. Jack’s verses encapsulate a lot of what I like about battle rap.
You guys are awesome man.. honestly I love yall yo
Dope semi-final, props to Jack & Faq, zipping it up.
