rational mcmahon doesn’t do a good job. he doesn’t have intricate vocabulary and writes like he’s talking instead of rapping. he was also difficult to understand so i had to go back and read a few times and that just did not work for me.
but fishrider uses complex rhyme scheme and dinosaur puns that hit hard. he is using lyricism that combines big vocab with poetry. so he wins
In my personal opinion, Pro's vocab, rhyming, and flow were the strongest in the Round 1 but stayed consistent throughout the entire battle. The context is pretty straightforward and while the wordplay isn't super-sophisticated, it is easy to understand.
Con's catchy use of the beat puts him off to a good start and I definitely approve of the way he chooses his words, especially the references to Obi-Wan Kenobi. The metaphors and wordplay may seem unnecessarily convoluted to first-time listeners but this is because of the sophistication of the style that is hard to comprehend to the untrained ear. It takes years of attuning to develop this sense.
That said, while I personally believe Con was slightly superior in some areas. I do prefer Pro's rapping style and ability because the tune sounds better to me.
Unfortunately, the description doesn't specify how to allocate points, but it looks like we're giving 7 points to the winner.
Both sides are sufficiently random, in my opinion, but Con was able to convey more meaning despite having shorter verses. In the first round, Pro rhymes a lot of unrelated words (which I suppose fits the resolution), but these don't translate into disses against Con. A lot of them seem like threats, which don't carry as much weight as calculated insults. Con is able to build on previous insults to paint a clearer picture ("why 5 inches only?", etc.) In the second round, Pro uses a lot of slant rhymes and a number of lines where even that kind of rhyme is questionable ("fit you"/"yet you"). Con is again able to paint a clearer picture with complex double meanings, with a complex multisyllabic rhyme scheme near the end. Pro again gives a lot of threats, and the quantity does hold some weight, but Con is able to respond with more vivid threats and again paint a clearer picture.
Both Pro and Con are random in the kinds of subjects they bring up, but Con is more coherent. So that's where my vote lands.
I could be petty and pick FishChaser as winner for the rap battle since RM voted for him as winner in our rap battle that I clearly won but it's all good I won't be petty. RM clearly won just like I clearly won against FishChaser. Good rap battle.
Stronger Wordplay: FishChaser
Stronger Metaphors: FishChaser
Stronger Puns: FishChaser
FishChaser was dropping bomb after bomb, so he takes this in my opinion. Rational did have good flow but that isn’t enough to turn the balance in his favor.
Message me if either of you have any questions!
Would have been removed for ineligibility

This is targeting through voting. Sting and Boba_Tea are troll voters. I cant help but noticing that all Boba_Tea's votes are on your debates and all are against you. Many his votes were removed.
How did his mind suddenly change?
Sting voted for me before.
Was Sting eligible to vote now with the same rfd?
If you do decide to vote again, you're better off leaving more detail instead of simply just giving an explanation that consists of a few words.
Removed for ineligibility (additionally, some small amount of feedback to the debaters would be nice).
