Reason:

Rhyme scheme combined with flow and metaphorical harshness win every single round for Con.

Even internally, Pro frequently is blatantly not trying to have any rhyme scheme at all. How do bicycle and cycle rhyme? How to imminent (spelled as immanent by Pro) and 'peasant' really rhyme unless you pronounce one very strangely and fast/slow compared to the other. The thing is the entirety of Pro's rap is not at all good in rhyme scheme whereas con is phenomenal.

Con is a rhyme-scheme specialist so I am factoring in that it's sacrificing some things to get such good rhyme scheme consistency but seriously compared to Pro it's not a fair fight even. Combine it with puns and we see that there are literally zero times when Pro has a harsh pun or good metaphor THAT ALSO RHYME WELL. Con, on the other hand has the following:

R1

you ain't no psychopath bitch, you only kill my interest
your shit is worse than little poems my mom shares on pinterest

You tried to diss the pyramid, that shit came off weak
my pic represents enlightenment, eclipse at the peak
representing the light, obscured and occult to the sheep
I'm not a common square, but the black cube in the east
I hold all the knowledge and wisdom you ever seeked
I'm a clever beast
with a treasury full of severed meat
I never sleep
cause at night I hear letters weep
cause' buried their family members deep
in my raps, and once you hear them they forever creep
through your thoughts with tender feet

^ THIS ENTIRE RHYME SCHEME IS OFF THE CHARTS IGNORING THE BRILLIANCE OF THE PUNS and stringing-along of a chain of linked metaphors. 'tender' and 'weak' mean even the first and last line of that are linked in some metaphorical sense.

R2

I didn't like the n-word at all from Con and I happen to know he's, let's just say not of a racial complex entitled to use that... I can prove it too from on-site public links he's posted but that's not too relevant as I hate when black rappers say the word too. It was lazy and really isn't what Con needed to do to dig in harsh or flow well.

watch me crank it, watch me flow
I'm swankin' do you copy, bro?
your mom, she gave me sloppy blow
she cranked that knob, she got me so
turned on that I just shot three loads
and I think you should probly know

^ Pro never even had lines that internally rhymed like this. 'knob' 'shot' 'cranked' 'that'... 'swank'... There was a lot of blatant internal rhyming meaning one doesn't even have to try to flow that, it is naturally flowing well regardless of delivery quality (if this was a spoken rap that would matter and mean Con was even better in setting up the lines like this).

R3

You think you're a killer? then come find me
but you'd better find me first, cause' I already have your IP
you're a whiny
little limey
who fucks his dog in the heiny
you're a slimey
certified re-
-tard with weak rhyme schemes

^ I didn't like the lying threat but frankly this was such good flow and rhyme-scheme consistency that it was the highlight of the Round.

I just didn't feel Pro's rap at all and it objectively had poor rhyming.

Both rappers need to work on their grammar.
