Talk:Frederick Douglass vs Thomas Jefferson/@comment-4661256-20160530194047

Personally, I really didn't like the battle, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see that the community has responded positively. What threw it off for me was Jefferson's second verse--I don't mind if a rapper gets apologetic, but that's usually done in one or two lines, not an entire verse (which, in my opinion, kind of ruins the "battle" part of a rap battle). For that reason, it's pretty much impossible to say that Jefferson won since he wasn't even battling for half of the time he rapped. Yes, I understand that it is a unique departure from their usual style and setup, but I didn't like it.

So far, Ramsay vs. Child > Tolkien vs. Martin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Douglass vs. Jefferson

DISCLAIMER: Obviously just my opinion, and I'm not saying anything remotely close to "ERB sucks," "we waited two weeks for this," "unsubbing," or anything of the like. I'm only saying why I didn't like the battle.
