RW $300 Final: Jack Hallows vs Virbius ***OPEN FOR VOTES***

[Bag Mandela]

It's finally here, the rematch we've been waiting for & the penultimate 1 or 2 matches of the tourney. Double elimination rules state that if Jack wins, there's a rematch. If Virb wins he takes 1st place.
.
We're going for 16 bars or 1080/12*16=1440 characters excluding spaces unless either of you wanna do more, entirely up to you. Given a bit of extra time to get your shit together. No pressure but if this battle's anything less than the most incredible shit we've ever seen everyone will be disappointed, might beat their kids and it will forever be what defines you.

Ransom Writers Final
16 bar battle
Due 10th May

@Jack Hallows @Virbius

Bag's vote, MV's vote & all other public votes are equal for the final.

Post your references so you don't get jerked, unless you like that shit.

No extensions, no friendliness and absolutely no sportsmanship.

[Jack Hallows]

damn, that intro is fucking bananas lmfao.

major hype.

Virb, let’s get it my boy

[Virbius]

@KnoXville hey Jack just tried to change it to a fucking 80 bar battle at the last minute. He’s at it again bro.

Eighty bars, I’m not even joking! What a tryhard.

[Virbius]

Hey, Unfukwitable…
I’ll put your brains on display. what was this cunt thinking?
I’ll hang him without hesitation, I’m Unf-lynching.
I’ll…

Wait, what do you mean that’s not my opponent?
Jack’s made the final??
Nah.
Nah, that can’t be right.

Fine, let me start again.
Reset my character count yo.

Hi Jack! I’m the 9/11 kind of felon and my mind’s a weapon, a sign the brains are on a higher plane.
He’s calls himself The Bladecoat Brawler and it’s quite a shame; I’ll stick a shiv in his ribs, in his midst, in his side and watch him die in pain with so many knives in Jack-it might explain why I applied the name.

Really though? this guy? in the final? I’m feeling like I won the fucking lottery, fam, what?
Cremating him, shit, this is damn hot, I’ll keep his ash in an urn. got the Jack pot.

I’m a king and he’s a peasant, it supports the theme, Virb and a subject, yeah the clause extreme;
I’m handy with the blades and it’ll cause a scene coz they so huge,Jack,man I feel like Wolverine.

Hallow wiener, nothing you write’s dreaded, my last round for you was past trash, I said it…
I felt like death last clash as I lie bedded with a fever but still you got quite shredded, ain’t like Jack’ll land tons, left this guy deaded even though I was feeling real light-headed

“You’ll get socked in the mouth like Mick Foley” - that was FaQ.
I wish you’d died in the Iraqi desert, by a Cactus Jack.
I was rooting for the Taliban in actual fact, it’d be music to my ears if they’d killed you in a planned attack.
If I saw you lying dying in an abandoned shack I’d just Say A Little Prayer and Walk On By. I’d back-Iraq

You said I had an Asus laptop? nah, remember? you came to help pick as well,
We were stood outside the store and shit was swell but then you had a flashback of Taliban battle plans, had to sit and yell when said I was going in-for-Dell

You lost to KnoXville when you were a little newer, his bars were hardly gold but that shit was pure.
Then you bought glocks, more locks, it’s a bit obscure but it’s funny since you fought Knox you still look insecure.

And you’re a cunt.

Explanations:

Hanging Unfuckwitable without hesitation: Unf’ lynching / unflinching.

Hi Jack / Hijack, higher plane of existence or airplane. 9/11 referencing Jack’s old enemy the Taliban.

Bladecoat Brawler, so many knives in Jack it / jacket.

Jackpot, the prize or the jar with Jack’s remains inside. Also urn / earn, if you like.

King and peasant eg. me and my royal subject. Virb / verb. A verb and a subject is a grammatical clause. Clause / claws, handy with the blades, or blades on my hands. Cause a scene - movie scene. Huge,Jack,man / Hugh Jackman who played Wolverine.

Hallow wiener / halloweener. Jack’ll land tons / Jack o lanterns. I wrote my last round with a fever, feeling light headed. A Jack o lantern has a light inside a head.

Mick Foley aka Cactus Jack.
I’d Back-Iraq / Bacharach. I’d support the Taliban (/ Iraq) over him in the war. Music to my ears as Say A Little Prayer and Walk On By were both written by Burt Bacharach.

Last round he said I had an Asus laptop. In for Dell / Infidel, what the Taliban would call Jack, so saying I was going in for Dell gave him flashbacks of the war coz he’s a little pussy with PTSD.

Gold bars, pure, Fought KnoX / Fort Knox - US gold reserve famous for being high security but he looks insecure.

And then I called him a cunt coz he’s a cunt. Easy.

[Jack Hallows]

You’ve got a childish race fixation

more shit about Children???

hmm..

YOU DUMB BITCH.

… children have ZERO concept of “race”!! but through our discourse i’ve been tacitly learning.. & son you need to just admit to what you’re savagely yearning..
ey y’all remember my “ASUS laptop” bar from the last battle?… yeaaa, data’s really starting to show a PATTERN EMERGING!!
all this “kiddie” projection & senseless interjection.. you can’t control your semantics
seems the only reason “childish” & “race” are on ya mind’s from your “fixation” over how the last chil’ dish-dashed away from your untoward advances
in fact the constabulary’s still lookin for tots to come forward with glances of a man that’s been cordially prancing & fomenting chances to luridly lure ‘em in, pantsless ..
YOU’RE FUCKING DISGUSTING VIRB. IT’S PAST DUE THAT WE’VE REPORTED YOUR ANTICS!!!
1812 was a MAJOR offensive, but good guys came & we kicked ‘em
oh, i’m not referring to the war. that was your age & the age of your victims.
time to teach this Ghent boundaries. Brit bitch better Call-a-knee/“Colony” & Retreat for ya health
cuz if you come to my shore lookin for War you’ll leave with a Revolting wound, missing a Piece of Yaself.
the idea of a Brit shooting me in 2025 is hilarity at it’s peak. m’dying fam..
wigga only time you fire up the burner & dump something hot from the pipe is during tea time with nan
look, i’ve done my research you defenseless bitch. UK knife carry laws say 7.62cm’s the measly legal length of it
so how the FUCK do you figure you can contend with this when that lil 3 inch knife you’ve got’s the same size as the 7.62 NATO round that i’ma end you with?
make it make sense, lying bitch. why don’t the fibbin stop, b?
if we Sequenced your Spiral of Lies it’d probly rival FIBonacci..
Howl at me…


reference guide:
1.) homes always tryna find excuses to add children into conversations. makes one wonder why kids always on son mind. “ASUS” laptop referring to me calling out dude pedo projection in our last battle.
2.) War of 1812 analogy. US kicked Britains ass out & established the Treaty of Ghent, which set boundaries between the two nations.
3.) US began as a British colony but we revolted, sparing the Revolutionary War where we kicked their ass & sent them packing missing a piece of theirselves.
4.) Lmao look up UK gun laws. these niggas rappin bout clappin is cap. niggas can barely carry a butter knife.
5.) Fibonacci Sequence is spiral of numbers that go on for infinity.

[TheShaman]

Dope battle guys. I'm feeling the fact that the final is a multiple rounder since it feels like you both need to prove yourselves more that way. And also there was quite a bit of aggression, which seemed appropriate for a final too (although I don't give points for aggression as such).

Virb's intro bar was dope, especially after he made the random Unf bar work to say that Jack shouldn't have been in the final.
The Jack-it bar had really dope flow and was well executed.

The Huge Jack-man bar was awesome. I hadn't expected Wolverine to rhyme with that scheme so it caught me by surprise in a nice way.

The Halloween didn't quite land with me. Felt a little like "where is he going with this", and didn't get the resolution I was hoping for. Maybe it would have had more of an impact if Jack'll land tons and light-headed was right next to each other instead of getting lost a bunch of other rhymes.

Sock in his mouth like Mick Foley is Bigg K vs. Rosenberg Raw, btw.

Big fan of punking Jack for the soldier shit. Didn't know Bacharach, but dope bar.

(On a pedantic side note, the Taliban is in Afghanistan, not Iraq. Don't remember if Jack was in Iraq or Afghanistan, but if the mistake was made on purpose for the wordplay it's all good. It's not important for the bar anyway. And George Bush also conflated the two on purpose back in the day to justify the invasion of Iraq).

The PTSD infidel bar and the Fort Knox insecure one were also both dope. Also a good ender picking up on this I guess now infamous battle and subsequent beef between Jack and Knox, painting an arc over his whole career on the site.

Overall solid verse. Not a lot of drawbacks.


On Jack's intro, just screaming "YOU DUMB BITCH" in the context of some random angle seems a little over the top, but I also kind of see it as a live action battle, so it also adds some energy to it.

Right out of the gate Jack's dropping some heavy vocab. But I'm not feeling the regurgitation of the angle and the bar from the last battle. Don't know if I'm missing some memes about the ASUS laptop since Virb also mentioned it, but anyway, is the "pattern emerging" a double entendre on the logo of ASUS starting up or something, cuz otherwise I'm not feeling it.

The wordy style here is dope. But btw projection is a defense mechanism to project your own flaws onto others, so to harp on this fact once again.. See what I'm saying?

The crazy vocab keeps going here and I'm feeling it. Had to look up lurid, and then I LOL'd: "Unpleasantly bright in colour, especially so as to create a harsh or unnatural effect". Saying this shit about Virb's crotch is fucking hilarious

Treaty of Ghent is a dope reference with the explanation, but what does "call a knee" mean? Like taking a knee, or am I missing something?

Tea time bar was dope. And random as it was, the 7.62 bar landed really well and also had some ethos behind it with all of Jack's NATO bona fides.

Overall a pretty dope verse with some borderline stuff inbetween. It kind of had the momentum against it with what I thought was a bad way to start it, but it ended out well.


Vote: Virb.

[Bag Mandela]

Lol that intro, I had him in my top 4 at the start tbf

Hi Jack! I’m the 9/11 kind of felon Out the gate let's go and my mind’s a weapon, a sign the brains are on a higher plane.nice
He’s calls himself The Bladecoat Brawler and it’s quite a shame; I’ll stick a shiv in his ribs, in his midst, in his side and watch him die in pain with so many knives in Jack-it might explain why I applied the name.knives in jacket / bladecoat brawler is sick, killin the rhyme patterns too

Really though? this guy? in the final? I’m feeling like I won the fucking lottery, fam, what?
Cremating him, shit, this is damn hot, I’ll keep his ash in an urn. got the Jack pot. This is how you take a simple bit of wordplay & weave the context of the battle into it to give it that extra thump, I'm with it

I’m a king and he’s a peasant, it supports the theme, Virb and a subject, yeah the clause extreme;
I’m handy with the blades and it’ll cause a scene coz they so huge,Jack,man I feel like Wolverine. The links throughout this are pretty wild, king-peasant, virb-subject, clause/claws, handy with the blades, cause a scene, then the hugh jackman wolverine ending, nearly every word in this bar has something going on with it, ridiculous

Hallow wiener, nothing you write’s dreaded, my last round for you was past trash, I said it…
I felt like death last clash as I lie bedded with a fever but still you got quite shredded, ain’t like Jack’ll land tons, left this guy deaded even though I was feeling real light-headed I'd been expectin someone to use a jack o lantern bar at some point but didn't see the light headed approach comin, really well set up too

“You’ll get socked in the mouth like Mick Foley” - that was FaQ.
I wish you’d died in the Iraqi desert, by a Cactus Jack. feeling like a line's about to be crossed haha
I was rooting for the Taliban in actual fact, it’d be music to my ears if they’d killed you in a planned attack.
If I saw you lying dying in an abandoned shack I’d just Say A Little Prayer and Walk On By. I’d back-Iraq Damn I didn't catch the reference til I read the explanation but this is pretty savage

You said I had an Asus laptop? nah, remember? you came to help pick as well,
We were stood outside the store and shit was swell but then you had a flashback of Taliban battle plans, had to sit and yell when said I was going in-for-Dell Hahaha class, meshing the asus bar with the military angle was creative as & infidel caught me by surprise

You lost to KnoXville when you were a little newer,line officially crossed his bars were hardly gold but that shit was pure.
Then you bought glocks, more locks, it’s a bit obscure but it’s funny since you fought Knox you still look insecure.Fort knox has obviously been done before but this take on it & the fact Jack still wants to avenge that L does give this that deep cut

And you’re a cunt. haha dead on 1440 I caught it

vs

more shit about Children???

hmm..

YOU DUMB BITCH. Haha oh shit here we go

… children have ZERO concept of “race”!! solid point but through our discourse i’ve been tacitly learning.. & son you need to just admit to what you’re savagely yearning..
ey y’all remember my “ASUS laptop” bar from the last battle?…yeah yeaaa, data’s really starting to show a PATTERN EMERGING!!the throwback here is fire, the bar was dope but the fact Virb referenced it & you had the pattern emerging in there is some other shit. Multis on point too
all this “kiddie” projection & senseless interjection.. you can’t control your semantics
seems the only reason “childish” & “race” are on ya mind’s from your “fixation” over how the last chil’ dish-dashed away from your untoward advances I fuck with this style heavy, seen you do it a couple times & it comes across || like a signature remix move
in fact the constabulary’s still lookin for tots to come forward with glances of a man that’s been cordially prancing hahaha & fomenting chances to luridly lure ‘em in, pantsless ..yoo
YOU’RE FUCKING DISGUSTING VIRB. IT’S PAST DUE THAT WE’VE REPORTED YOUR ANTICS!!! ALL CAPS lol this verse deffo got more of a performance vibe about it, the word choice & multis in this are fuckin epic
1812 was a MAJOR offensive, but good guys came & we kicked ‘em
oh, i’m not referring to the war. that was your age & the age of your victims.Haha that swing back was smooth as fuck
time to teach this Ghent boundaries. Brit bitch better Call-a-knee/“Colony” & Retreat for ya health
cuz if you come to my shore lookin for War you’ll leave with a Revolting wound, missing a Piece of Yaself. Yeah fuck the british! I was impressed with the original UK angles last time out & this is no different, the flow of angles through this verse is really cohesive as well
the idea of a Brit shooting me in 2025 is hilarity at it’s peak. m’dying fam..
wigga only time you fire up the burner & dump something hot from the pipe is during tea time with nan lol just when you think all the tea bars have been done, ill
look, i’ve done my research you defenseless bitch haha. UK knife carry laws say 7.62cm’s the measly legal length of it
so how the FUCK do you figure you can contend with this when that lil 3 inch knife you’ve got’s the same size as the 7.62 NATO round that i’ma end you with? This was hard, screwface shit
make it make sense, lying bitch. why don’t the fibbin stop, b?
if we Sequenced your Spiral of Lies it’d probly rival FIBonacci.. Spiral of Lies / FIBonacci is brilliant, great closer
Howl at me…

I'm tempted to just say Jack got it so we get the trilogy. After I read Virb's verse I was thinking Jack was gonna have a tough time keeping up, that was real step up from the last battle but Jack came for revenge big time. The worst thing about judging this is the style clash, it'd be easy if we were just voting on who was more technical or who had better jokes but both do different things really well. I'm gonna re-read & vote later. Lived up to the expectations for certain, major props

[FaQEyeReddit]

Im conflicted I mean can go either way tbh I think virb is the funniest coolest writer here hands down but the depth in the punch in jacks verse and tie ins are crazy too.. im going with Jack dope shit

[Ion Metatron]

Tight battle fellas.. some great lines from both here! Keep rockin!!!

Battle Highlights:

Really though? this guy? in the final? I’m feeling like I won the fucking lottery, fam, what?

[Slayerr.]

Hey, Unfukwitable…
I’ll put your brains on display. what was this cunt thinking?
I’ll hang him without hesitation, I’m Unf-lynching.
I’ll…

Wait, what do you mean that’s not my opponent?
Jack’s made the final??
Nah.
Nah, that can’t be right.

Fine, let me start again.
Reset my character count yo.

Hi Jack! I’m the 9/11 kind of felon and my mind’s a weapon, a sign the brains are on a higher plane.
He’s calls himself The Bladecoat Brawler and it’s quite a shame; I’ll stick a shiv in his ribs, in his midst, in his side and watch him die in pain with so many knives in Jack-it might explain why I applied the name.
Christ that opening scheme went hard love it, jack it was simple but effective decent opener
Really though? this guy? in the final? I’m feeling like I won the fucking lottery, fam, what?
Cremating him, shit, this is damn hot, I’ll keep his ash in an urn. got the Jack pot.
Jack pot was creatively simple one of those why haven’t I thought of that? Dope
I’m a king and he’s a peasant, it supports the theme, Virb and a subject, yeah the clause extreme;
I’m handy with the blades and it’ll cause a scene coz they so huge,Jack,man I feel like Wolverine.
Dope idea not sure huge really works that well as Hugh though but rest of the bar was dope
Hallow wiener, nothing you write’s dreaded, my last round for you was past trash, I said it…
I felt like death last clash as I lie bedded with a fever but still you got quite shredded, ain’t like Jack’ll land tons, left this guy deaded even though I was feeling real light-headed
Your effortless schemes and polished wording never cease to amaze me, creative tie in with jack o lantern

“You’ll get socked in the mouth like Mick Foley” - that was FaQ.
I wish you’d died in the Iraqi desert, by a Cactus Jack.
I was rooting for the Taliban in actual fact, it’d be music to my ears if they’d killed you in a planned attack.
If I saw you lying dying in an abandoned shack I’d just Say A Little Prayer and Walk On By. I’d back-Iraq
Rooting for the taliban was cold hahaha needed the expo coz no idea who back-Iraq was but nice
You said I had an Asus laptop? nah, remember? you came to help pick as well,
We were stood outside the store and shit was swell but then you had a flashback of Taliban battle plans, had to sit and yell when said I was going in-for-Dell
In for dell was fucking dope and a great rebuttal to the ASUs line I loved so much
You lost to KnoXville when you were a little newer, his bars were hardly gold but that shit was pure.
Then you bought glocks, more locks, it’s a bit obscure but it’s funny since you fought Knox you still look insecure.
Omg that insecure angle is class
And you’re a cunt.
Simple cold and effective I do love a blunt statement to contrast all the complexities to finish.

more shit about Children???

hmm..

YOU DUMB BITCH.

… children have ZERO concept of “race”!! but through our discourse i’ve been tacitly learning.. & son you need to just admit to what you’re savagely yearning..
ey y’all remember my “ASUS laptop” bar from the last battle?… yeaaa, data’s really starting to show a PATTERN EMERGING!!
Liking where this is going, glad the ASus bars legacy is really thriving in this battle and being written in comic sands gives a subtle like edge to this
all this “kiddie” projection & senseless interjection.. you can’t control your semantics
seems the only reason “childish” & “race” are on ya mind’s from your “fixation” over how the last chil’ dish-dashed away from your untoward advances
Yeah nice
in fact the constabulary’s still lookin for tots to come forward with glances of a man that’s been cordially prancing & fomenting chances to luridly lure ‘em in, pantsless ..
YOU’RE FUCKING DISGUSTING VIRB. IT’S PAST DUE THAT WE’VE REPORTED YOUR ANTICS!!!
Vocab is good here and your rhymes effortlessly impressive
1812 was a MAJOR offensive, but good guys came & we kicked ‘em
oh, i’m not referring to the war. that was your age & the age of your victims.
Damn that’s cold
time to teach this Ghent boundaries. Brit bitch better Call-a-knee/“Colony” & Retreat for ya health
The idea here is proper fucking slick but doesn’t work in my accent annoyingly we say ghent and gent differently although written it looks dope and call-a-knee colony is well off however I can see it working in a yank accent so I’m not holding that against you here but despite that the ideas in this bar are phenomenal
cuz if you come to my shore lookin for War you’ll leave with a Revolting wound, missing a Piece of Yaself.
Felt like such a dope bar and the ending felt slightly anticlimactic but it works and is direct
the idea of a Brit shooting me in 2025 is hilarity at it’s peak. m’dying fam..
wigga only time you fire up the burner & dump something hot from the pipe is during tea time with nan
look, i’ve done my research you defenseless bitch. UK knife carry laws say 7.62cm’s the measly legal length of it
so how the FUCK do you figure you can contend with this when that lil 3 inch knife you’ve got’s the same size as the 7.62 NATO round that i’ma end you with?
Fucking fire, I’ll overlook the fact a nato round is 5.56 coz I’d imagine it was 7.62 when you were in, genuine madness that 7.62 is our knife law and you tied it perfectly with the round size slick af
make it make sense, lying bitch. why don’t the fibbin stop, b?
if we Sequenced your Spiral of Lies it’d probly rival FIBonacci..
Howl at me…
Okay closer good reference
.

I voted draw last time but I’ve decided I can’t do that again, upon my breakdown I loved both verses equally, after I’ve broken it down like this I need to read them in their entirety as they were meant to be and my first thought is this is fucking final worthy I was worried you both blew your load on each other last time out but my fears were unfounded and you two are both fantastic writers - both has an effortless way of throwing multis, strong vocab and polished wording all tied together with creative angles. There’s not much separating these verses but to me my deciding factor is that virbs was slightly more complex where was jacks was a bit more direct and I tend to prefer that as I find a battle is about dissing your opponent first and foremost and he executed it perfectly

V/jack by a Pube (which none of virbs victims have yet)


Fucking hof worthy shit fellas
