Here..I'm goin 12...so match me

[Illmattic]

aight i was going 16 but 12 works

[Illmattic]

Aight so who posting first

[Illustration]

Just match me...

Why'd Sureloc match us up? F'real..we have no equal connection
The only time you'll be ILL is if I'm staring at my reflection
I can flip Nas lines against you but as you can tell thats wack
I'll just stomp my feet across your face..call you the Welcome Mat
I'm your worst fear son and I'll beat you til those tears come
Or Ill shout til u got nothin to hear from cause I ruptured your eardrum
You're deaf now..I'll take your own words n start drownin' out sounds
Now swallow your pride n choke cause u got nothin to be proud about
I can drop for days but honestly...theres something this dude'll regret
That if I cut 'straight' to the point...he might hafta lose his neck
You're choosin' death and Matic? Well...lemme tell you this little fact
I'd give you a taste of your own medicine..but I could never be THAT WACK...

[Illmattic]

okay twelve right

Let me illustrate the points, the facts, infact ill 'paint a picture'
and prove that ima 'work of art' illustration's nuthin but a 'stick figure'/
im quick to grip, if you slip, old man, i'll 'break ya hip'
he's a rapper who never made it, stration 'shot for the skys' and missed/
my style is crisp, you're old news, your downfall is blatant
and how can you 'afford' to battle cats like me with 'child support payments'/
ive become impatient, he's like my patient, save his life I will
and then from now on call you 'stration' cause 'mattic' will cure you of all of your 'Ills'/
you say your verses are 'above' mine, only cause mine get underneath ya skin
but trust you comming at mattic, i strap shit that'll make you feel like a 'kid again'/
the pre-mag was hype, im not the type to let another's record get me
and odd ball, i'll give old man 'arthritis' from trying to type shit up against me/

aight, well mattic came, stration, dunno if that was half assed or what, but even the lines i have up there werent better than any of tha lines quoted for mattic.......thus

Mattic-GMV

[.GgG.]

illustration takes it...he came creative, with real good punchlines and perfect flow
nothing really wrong with his bars

illmatic opened out strong and then it just started getting sloppy with the delivery on the punches


vote--ill (not matic)
best bar
I can flip Nas lines against you but as you can tell thats wack
I'll just stomp my feet across your face..call you the Welcome Mat

arthritis might've been quoted if worded better

stration had more + better quotes

ehh ok opener...pretty basic
I can flip Nas lines against you but as you can tell thats wack
I'll just stomp my feet across your face..call you the Welcome Mat
this was pretty good, but you sure spit alot of lines about stomping
I'm your worst fear son and I'll beat you til those tears come
Or Ill shout til u got nothin to hear from cause I ruptured your eardrum
I liked the flow..but theres no punch..remember punches over lyricism
You're deaf now..I'll take your own words n start drownin' out sounds
Now swallow your pride n choke cause u got nothin to be proud about
filler, It flowed nice but didnt really say much
I can drop for days but honestly...theres something this dude'll regret
That if I cut 'straight' to the point...he might hafta lose his neck
I liked this bar, pretty clever
You're choosin' death and Matic? Well...lemme tell you this little fact
I'd give you a taste of your own medicine..but I could never be THAT WACK...
good closer, creative punch

pretty good verse you had 4 or 5 bars I liked

good opener, nice nameplay
im quick to grip, if you slip, old man, i'll 'break ya hip'
he's a rapper who never made it, stration 'shot for the skys' and missed/
ehh you fell off here, not a great bar..it broke the flow
my style is crisp, you're old news, your downfall is blatant
and how can you 'afford' to battle cats like me with 'child support payments'/
pretty good concept, but coulda been executed better..
ive become impatient, he's like my patient, save his life I will
and then from now on call you 'stration' cause 'mattic' will cure you of all of your 'Ills'/
good nameplay..
you say your verses are 'above' mine, only cause mine get underneath ya skin
but trust you comming at mattic, i strap shit that'll make you feel like a 'kid again'/
this was fierce, not too clever..but straight to the point
the pre-mag was hype, im not the type to let another's record get me
and odd ball, i'll give old man 'arthritis' from trying to type shit up against me/
not the best closer, wasnt feelin it

decent verse, some bars were good..some were duds..the good bars you had were

you say your verses are 'above' mine, only cause mine get underneath ya skin
but trust you comming at mattic, i strap shit that'll make you feel like a 'kid again'/

My vote: Illustration, for a better well rounded verse, with more effective punches
