Ughhh two styles of punches I hate…gun/god punches and sports punches �� it’s a hard choice here. I think both of you had good wording and both came correct / both have some deserving undefeated records here…but damn I think I got Pleth winning this one with the smoother wording and more creative concept/nameplay.

Vote Plethora

I liked both but thought plethora had more sting and cool how he used both the first and last name as wordplay / nameplay in the separate lines

Vote plethora

I think my mind is bothered by the "catch a close fist like LeBron did" part because Isaiah was the one to actually catch the closed fist...not Bron. But since I knew what you was going for and it's the first LeBron/Isaiah line I've seen I'll give it some current even credit.

As for the Jesus punch...I mean it was Ok and all but something felt too generic about it like it coulda got said to anybody. And the syllable to the rhyme scheme seems like it throws it off. I know it don't make sense without the word "you" but it would almost flow better if it was squeeze in yo face/ Meet at the gate. The meet 'you' part kinda makes it seem like it could rhyme better or something but Im not gonna hold that against you, it was a decent punch as a whole. My mind when looking at the till that piece squeeze in yo face make me think of different directions it coulda went, even maybe violently hitting the guy with his own Cross chain or something. I mean I liked the Idea but it kinda felt like something was missing to make it super dope.

At the end of the day guys, I'm sorry about the knit picking on both punchlines but at the end of the day I felt like Plethora had a little wittier attempt out of the two. Props to both you gentlemen tho because it wasn't an easy decision, I had to go back and forth with both but MVGT Plethora for the Fresh idea and hitting a Lil bit tad bit harder.

Pleth a was slightly forced.. idk with my accent it’s a reach but worked. Current event to. Phal could have done something better with this just seemed a bit basic to me. Got plethora edging this

Plethora - nice bar, I really fucked with it besides the isiah parr (was that wordplay? Because I was here whispering it to myself for about an hour and couldn’t figure it out). But the phal line lebron shit was fire af.

Phalanx - not bad here either but I felt it was lacking a bit in sting, seen your drop better ones these past few weeks.


Vote plethora

this was a super close one, i think you both matched each other in execution, i had no problem with the wording or anything. both hits as hard as the other, but i have to agree that plethora just has a bit more of a creative concept

v-plethora

plethoras bar felt bit forced for me but phalanx dropped a light punch here.. so I'm going with plethora for creativity and better exec

This is tough for me.

I like a good sports bar but LBJ didn’t catch a closed fist so it makes the bar kinda ehhh

Phal went the personal route but the concept as a whole was alil bland for me.

Guess I’ll have to go w/ the lesser evil, pleths bar. Current and slightly more creative.
