Opinion:

5. Jefferson/Douglass: Felt like it pushed an agenda, biased. Slavery was almost the sole topic during the final three verses, and while it should definitely have been brought up, it shouldn't have dominantsd the battle like it did either. Poor beat, worst flows so far this season, no lines stood out to me really. J.B. Smoove also seemed somehow unlikable as Douglass, in a way. I don't know. Didn't like it. Didn't care much for the visuals either. Worst battle since Oprah/Ellen, in my eyes. Hell, maybe Oprah/Ellen beats it.

4. Martin/Tolkien: Short and sweet: This battle did nothing great while at the same time did nothing wrong. Passable beat, passable flows, good Peter/Lloyd battle. Decent visuals, but I thought the Led Zeppelin focus at the end was random and quite dumb. Eh.

3. Banner/Jenner: You know the drill, fantastic start, terrible finish. Agenda, bias. Why is it number 3? Because the Bruces packed quality flows and lines to a good beat with cool visuals. The Hulk/Caitlyn needs no explanation. I agree with most everybody, but I feel I give the battle more credit for the Bruces part than others. Decent battle.

2. Bond/Powers: Take a great matchup, fabulous beats, impressive visuals, snappy lines, good flow, a genius third party idea, and a few laugh-aloud lines/actions from Powers, and now we're cooking with gas. Although funny, I felt Powers' part was a bit lacking. Otherwise, phenomenal. Top seven all-time material for me, no doubt. Maybe top five.

1. Ramsay/Child: Great matchup. Best Season Five beat. Best Season Five visuals, hard-hitting lines, funny writing and acting, great flow, references upon references. Best thing about this battle? The quality never wavers. The battle starts out as one of the best, in the middle it's one of the best, and at the end it's one of the best. Each verse was great, and the whole audio package just sounds EPIC. Top three material. Maybe my all-time favorite.
