Damn I almost called the matchup. Knew Luke was in that hype thread waaaay to much to not be involved though!!

Let's get into this...

@LukeWaltonisGoat

Before I wrote a bar I Bodied your dumbass with those threads......it was tragic
Then I made Riffic disappear before the battle... shit was magic
My nigga Ed on his Kanye shit cause he ain't never left the ratchet
Tools all up in his coat you'll think I showed up with inspector gadget

ok, ok. inspector gadget and 'ratchet' wordplay not exactly new but still managed to make it sound fresh. solid opening 4.

Now your Bio says you from Jersey... So let's jump straight to the topic
Cause when I think of Jersey I think block shit, glocks, clips, Hawks and Rockets... Josh Smith!!
And nigga you are not it.....It aint in your blood to play with that Heat you on your Bosh shit.....

yooo. again heat/hawks/rockets nba flips been done but i didnt even care because the way you put this together was fire tbh. the rhymescheme leading up to josh smith punch was dope.

But ledge you and riffic backed out of our battle shit was mad wack
And then you tried to give me feedback on my bars and that shit got you laughed at
Talkin bout "I really like your style but it sounds too much like smack rap"
Nigga I don't give a fuck if you rap for the niggas with the backpacks!
I rap for the niggas hustlin who get robbed and gotta blast macks to get they packs back!

cold.

verse felt kind short, but still managed to get in multiple styles personals and punches. gonna be totally honest and say up to this point thought you were kinda average but you're on my radar now. good shit man.

@ledge

LWITG, we can talk about how I could leave an L with G
or how my inbox is full of all apologies from LWITG
…we can dead that
my pro team got twin beams that’ll leave this girl stuck
goat see the laser im kickin’, finna leave with this world cup
that’s light…but

somethin about the world play is these openin 4 not hittin that heavy for me. but Im gunna take your word that this was light off top like you got an idea.

spliff behind my ear, heat in the holster…when it draws the burn nice
got the discharge looking like a smokestack on the jersey turnpike
IM NICE!!!
and…
I GET PUSSY!!! he only taps when he wants someone to carry his child
but me? everyone knows I been wild, abusin mo’ cheeks then darius miles
‘whaaattt!!!’ - @SonnyDaze
*tosses hat into crowd*
dumpin out the window, heat powers through ya squad in ya main zone
bodies slumped, next week, so many flowers on the corner by lukes home
cower’n at thoughts of ya gravestone,…
‘let’s get nutty!!!’

pickin up a bit of steam here.

stevie franchise man I fuck with rockets
heard you fuckin with the nick’s, well I’ll pull it and cock it, *DAMN!*
fuckin with some bricks man I’ll pull up and drop it
after shot 13 be like please dog just stop it
I’m like PLEASE dog we rockin’, oh a street war we choppin!
got more crystal on your strip then a beastwars deposit!!!

definitely preferred these to the first half of the verse.

If I knew this was the matchup would have predicted ledge a solid favourite but in the end I think Luke's bars were just more impactful and he was more consistent. I have seen Ledge with much stronger verses and I'm guessin if that 2v2 happened we could see some fire.

nice battle to start of the event though.

[LukeWaltonisGoat]

@thatguy thanks bruh and there's definitely a lot in the clip for ledge and riffic left

[Scartown]

My dude, good shit. Man knows how to hype a battle. Can't wait till the next round. Lwig dropping flames.

Culturedboy is def nice with the pen. 08 Orton line had me dying

[ux9 u so fine]

okay wow this was a body by ledge ;

yea I mean it wasn't even close .. the quality of raps u can't even compare ..

jeez ..

am I SUSPICIOUS of the mods generally being the best text battlers on the site ?

KIND OF

but not really , speaking with these dudes , I know they're hella smart and clever ;

but damn

anyways ; ledge clear win ; not even half way close tbqh

[ux9 u so fine]

maybe ppl can argue that ledge got a hell of a lot more raps in , more material ---

but the both had the same opportunities to get their raps in and ledge didn't JUST win by amount of material ; I actually didn't even consider that ... his raps were just way better and more dense .. but at the same time were easily accessible it wasn't just random jersey numbers or sports players last names

Appreciate it bro

[culturedboy]

i'm genuinely astounded anyone has felt the need to give ledge the w; either ya'll motherfuckers hold genuine contempt for luke or you got real weird taste in split 2 bar punches

[LukeWaltonisGoat]

It's all preference but I think on this site my style isn't the norm for text battling which makes sense, I also am probably easy to vote against due to all the shit talking ect..

But I think the main thing being slept on is that Chris Bosh bar from how it was set up to the way it was delivered

I feel like ppl probably just thought oh sports bar Bosh Heat I get it

But I doubt the average battle rap fan on rmbvais connecting the "in your blood" blood clot shit

your style is literally 'text battling' at it's root form

[JShazo]

luke edge

[Ass Napkin Ed]

Can't lie this was pretty entertaining. Good job fellas

[LukeWaltonisGoat]

I think text battling is rooted way more on pure punching I don't necessarily punch every bar to get my point across... a lot of ppl focus heavy on multis and stacking syllables heavy in text battles... I never do that.. not saying my style is different but I feel like some of my bars are bars that would hit harder in real life than text battles

I know for a fact mine would hit harder in real life...look at my last 6-8, it's mixtape bars that flow.

FYI - the sports bars in mine are way overlooked as well.

Mario Gotze - Goat see, won the world cup on his game winning goal
Darius Miles got suspended for abuse on his Coach Maurice Cheeks

summin light.

[LukeWaltonisGoat]

I wasn't saying I fucked you up or won anything that's for everybody else to decide.. I was just saying my style isn't suited for a lot of ppl.. your shit was fire bro no hating from this side

Good battle

[riffic]

all the sports bars in this battle were awesome

hawks and rockets josh smith >>
abusin mo cheeks than darius miles >>

No I know that haha.

I just sort of started writing to a beat at the end, that's all I was saying.

[riffic]

@LukeWaltonisGoat the Josh Smith line is dope but what threw me off is that he doesn't have any affiliation with Jersey... I wouldn't have linked those concepts together

[LukeWaltonisGoat]

Haha yeah it went well it was dope your shit would of been fire in real life and probably flowed well but.....

What you gonna do when I'm barkin in your face! Hahahahaha

That's the funniest shit to me.. I don't think it's as weird to say "he was barking in that niggas face" but when you tell somebody you're gonna "bark in their face" that shit is one of those battle rap terms that in real life translates terribly lol

[LukeWaltonisGoat]

That's facts i could of set it up better in that sense

But the josh smith bar wasn't meant to be a haymaker it really was just a part of the set up

The theme of all of that was to say when I think of Jersey I think of street niggas guns poppin all that shit so Josh Smith was simply tied to the Hawks and rockets shit

To set up the "it ain't in your blood to play with that heat you on your Bosh shit"

Bosh's career is probably gonna be over due to his blood clots in the same way I felt all the shit that comes to mind when I think of Jersey isn't in Ledges blood

But I agree I probably could of structured the josh smith part to fit better it was lazy writing

[riffic]

yeah I got all the meanings (I'm a gigantic NBA nerd), just when I read it first I was like "you associate Jersey with... Josh Smith?" haha

[riffic]

rhymes were great tho, Hawks and Rockets / Josh Smith is nutty

[LukeWaltonisGoat]

Yeah lazy on my part lol I just wanted to get through this battle with some solid material so that clip is still fully loaded for that 2 on 2

Yo riffic "imma bark in your face"

Haha smh

you're not giving people enough credit imo. most of us regulars have read multiple ricky waters verses and if you can't connect bosh to blood clots with the heat you have no hope of getting through one of his verses.

just fyi there have been soo many people comin through thinking they are criminally slept on when they probably aren't.

I dont think I'm slept on as much as I feel like ppl probably wouldn't like my style

As far as the Bosh shit in normal battle rap it's probably easy to catch but theres a decent amount of weird fans on here who don't like that kind of shit lol

[culturedboy]

miles bar was hard and a lil slept on but in Germany (and i'd imagine most other places, because i'm from a german/english speaking family and this is how i say it) you'd say Gotze as gut-seh (there's inflection on the U, but you can deduce that) not Goat-see (lmao)

Keep voting yall

[LukeWaltonisGoat]

@6000GP @SuckaFreeCashier @GMajor @PriceAintRight @CBA @Casual @brodeezy @Bobby Bigelow @Anti @The Kurgan @RickyProehl @Seanzo @cripplesunday1 @WiggerDaDon @peace @Shadow @Profess can we get some votes/recaps

[SonnyDaze]

Luke was direct from start to finish, which I find refreshing when many of us just to try to be as bar heavy as possible. The Josh Smith/Bosh shit lines were hardbody, and even though the last 5 lines didn't follow a traditional rhyme pattern, that "talk to em" style finished the verse on a dope note and is becoming a trademark of Luke's.

Ledge's Darius Miles bar was a legitimate cap tosser, and the flow on the last 6 bars followed by the Beastwars punch was crazy.

Punch for punch, this was about even, so I had to edge to Luke for the more consistent approach.

Dope opening battle to the event- still hyped for the 2v2.

Thanks broadie

[cripplesunday1]

Good typing on both sides. Both had good flow to their material. But the streets is talkin' and they telling me the cool thing to do is vote Luke.

Ledge had more punches for me to not get. And im not a fan of "my team/squad"

Also just had a pack snatched and had to empty mags to get that shit back. So the last bar really speaks me to
