Not to say all points are equal, but most rounds pro came out ahead.
R1: Pro
Con's song honestly triggered a headache. Maybe it's as pro described in the next round, a "lack of exposure" to the medium.
R2: Pro
Something felt generic about pro's song, like I've heard it five times before from other artists; and yet cons song had a shortage of range, and the excessive use of the N word to seem edgy did it no favors.
R3: Pro
I can't guarantee this was intentional, but it was an excellent follow up to con's last song with a similar depression song but done right to a higher caliber.
Eminem is firmly who I would have expected to win. As a commenter on on the provided YouTube Link put it "Young Eminem, is like a fusion between a dictionary and a machine gun." But the quality of the music to back up the lyrics did not carry the day.
R4: Pro
That voice on pro's selection, damn, hard to believe human voices go that deep.
I was excited for the unique intro to con's choice, but the follow up felt uninspired; a rapper singing about murdering police, is like a country singer doing one about his truck running away; in both cases it is just doing what's expected, in a way that if not comedic it should be.
R5: Con
I actually prefer pro's song here (Eminem is one of the few rappers I've bought albums from); yet with him used earlier in this same debate (even with this being a much better song from him), and cons selection showing someone who apparently doesn't breathe, I'll give the point to con.
I am not disagreeing with anything there. I'm sad this was just a 1-voter decider.
"I'm not necessarily saying your way can't win but this crowd here has almost 0 voters on these debaters that are into hiphop itself, they're just taking a dip into the genre so idk if your 'average' is correct"
I think your comment here ended up being true when looking at Ragnar's vote. From his perspective, someone who I don't think listens to much hiphop, I can understand almost all of the criticisms of my songs except for the "Earl uses the n-word to seem edgy" one.
I ran out of time before starting work, so hard to keep that brief. My point was that I was impressed by how he articulated so much, seemingly without any chance for air pressure to return to his lungs to fuel said articulation.
the guy you called 'someone who apparently doesn't breathe' is from the duo Outkast

it's unrated, so be as harsh as you want, curious what you think.
I think that if I take the opposite approach vs yours, that contrast makes the debate more compelling. Plus it gives the people who do vote access to types of rap music that are (usually) only appreciated by people who are deep into hip hop already.
We could always do this again in a situation where I'd pick more conventionally attractive songs if you'd like
I'm not necessarily saying your way can't win but this crowd here has almost 0 voters on these debaters that are into hiphop itself, they're just taking a dip into the genre so idk if your 'average' is correct but we'll see, I've already been proven wrong in the past 2 debates.
keep your ears close to the ground if you want fire you'll enjoy the burn of.
ill accept if no one does in a weeks or so
