In battles...lyrics or flow?

[Mercury]

if 2 rappers battled, one had hot lines but weak flow, other had hot flow but weak lines...who would you vote for?

If the battle was over a beat...I'm kind of a sucker for flow. I can't stand a wack flow on a beat I don't care if they rhymed like crazy

Acapella smack dvd battles though, I probably would go for the lines b/c none of them really flow in that type of situation

[Mojo]

It depends just how wack they are. Normally I would go for flow, but if the lines are super wack I can't justify it. I just hate hearing some dude up there sounding weird and off. I don't care if his lines or tough or not. That's why I couldn't get into some of those Grind Time battles.

[T-MADDY]

man it really depends...u can flow all day, if dude is decent on the beat but hes saying some shit he's gonna get my vote.

On the otherhand, something like takeova verse ether, I think jay was saying better stuff, but im like so what? nas crushed this.


Immortal got destroyed by posta too

Hell Rell battled Posta on 106 and got ate up too LOL



posta use to say some shit boy "if I empty my pockets it'll look like st patricks day."

*didnt wanna post in the girly thread.*

[Qwasian]

to me it's gotta be a person who pulls off the best combo of both..... if they are about equal in that department then I'd go with lines...... but if ya flow or lines ain't right you can't even battle in my opinion, dual loss

[Eso]

^^^ What he said.

[Meta4.ce]

you might as well say NY vs Philly.

Them ny niggas say a lot of shit, but their flow is unconvincing...and NY is lightweight soft now anyway.

The philly niggas be flowing all crazy but overdo the ultraviolence...then again, it really is ultraviolent there.

[Gifted]

vote = Lyrics.

[Nah]

Since we're on the topic of battles, I really enjoyed this one...
