Warcraft returns from a six-month hibernation and what's more is more befitting for this event than a battle between two of the most influential netcees of this era of Nairaland Rap Battling.

It's black history in the making . . . the return of the dark days, it's a test of wit and technical mastery, it's a clash of the best Flow For Rank has ever produced, it's tale of two legends.

You saw Xenophobia, Kick In The Door, State of Mind and The Forgotten, the bars have been raised

It's lyrical, it's wordplay heaven, it's where metaphors meet reality, it's stuff of legend, I present to you Warcraft: Armageddon.

IBIME: Le Spitzophrenique

Warcraft god, arguably undisputed champion of this endz, most prolific netcee Rap Battles ever witnessed and studio work to show for it, Rap Battles Man of the Year 2009. . . Ibime is that netcee that the netcees that you know fear.
Back to back battles with Streetwise keep you questioning when if ever this vet will lose steam.

Is it too late to add that Ibime needs no introduction . . . he's the legend behind the Rampage series, making netcees reconsider concede before battles with consistency that's beyond reasonable doubt. . . I present to you, IBIME.

I flow remote control. . . so standby. . . as I channel thoughts

I just broke ya jaw/ and raised the roof. . . to expose ya flaw/
How many mics do I eat on a daily?. . . you know The Score(20)!/

hey’re begging me to spare the heathen/ cos this isn’t fair and even/
So abort any thought of winning. . . it doesn’t bare conceiving!/

DBR: FFR Warlord

The heartbeat of the Flow for Rank thread . . . mystical with wordplay, dropping metaphorical wonders at a rate that leaves witnesses in shock, technique that's forced netcees to take up other hobbies, he has continuously upped the standards of topicals on this section.

Warcraft CV includes battles with HJ and an unbelievable collections of worded images on the Warcraft State of Mind Thread.
Flowed For Rank till he defined rank, his flair and consistency has lived through droughts, mindfreezes and writers blocs in the section. . . for the first time in a long while, I present to you DBR.

IBIME'S Verse

Soon as I step in the booth/ he's destined to lose/ cos I wreck and abuse/
leave his ancestors skeletons bruised/. . . cos every punch I land will 'connect with his roots'!/

Go to his office, put his neck in a noose/ or make him sip some venomous juice/
or maybe let bullets exit his wounds?/. . . Tough choice!. . .so Ima let his[i] secretary choose![/i]/

I never disrepected his views. . .

but he persisted in grieving/ this lyrical deacon/ so I'ma get rid of his demon/
like a Celestial church. . and give him spiritual healing. . . through a physical beating!!!/

I insist to this heathen/ that we're not realistically even/ cos this nigga is median/
My flow is mean. . . and he's average. . . . thats statistically speaking!/

The lyrics Im weaving/ leave him visibly seeking/ his pastor for prayer/
He's just a bytch trapped in a player/. . cos look past, after the layer. . and he's Caster Semaya!!/

Im smarter than a NASA surveyor/ cos I spit sick doom/
His chick lick/ big stick/ in my picnic room/. . which I twitflix to em. . . when my pic click zoom!/

I slap this big lip goon/ His rap career taking off, he'll get a big hit soon/
cos its his time to blow. . . . literally. . . . . . . tick, tick, BOOM!!!/

Bring a thick big spoon/ if you dine with me/ or spit a line with me/
Anyone who see his career when Im done. . . will get a finder's fee!!/

He's pursuing a bad course/ Im ruing the sad loss/ when this dude hit the ashphalt/
He'll get pushed off the last floor/. . . with only a waterproof bag. . . to use as a drag force!!/

They exhuming this mans corpse/ with one more dig/ of this dumb LovePeddler pig/
after I adjust your 'wig'/. . by sinking drills in ya 'waves'. . . like an offshore rig!/

I use gasoline to attack your motor/ flip ya Range and leave its back turned over/
Now he switched a black Toyota/. . cos if I saw where e wood park. . . you know this Black Burn Rovers!/ (he would park)

When he chitter chatter/ I kick his bladder/ and split his matter/
So even if he leaves Africa. . . he's still in-continent. . . cos his shyt'll splatter!!!/

I snatch his nuclear fam infact/ His two kids and his wack bee-atch/ tie em between two cadillacs/
drive in opposite directions. . . then give his extended family back!!!/

Im not deliberately tryna be harsh/ so with these final three bars/
Ima waste this one. . . and use it to send his wife my regards!/

I dont mean to bad/ Was always gonna eat him, but first I had to 'season his @ss'/
thats why I let him shine in the cypher. . . just to 'ginger his swag'!!/

In the first place, you weren't even supposed to compare/ Im like DSTV cos my focus is clear/
so NEVER AGAIN joke with me here/. . or get ideas above ya station. . . you phocking Toyin Subair!!!/

wow. . . am totally speechless.

Pheeew! Oya now na Crashing tins. . . Tomorrow, i go post my tot n vote on the battle after i read am again. . . Bt DBR opener got me smiling. It reminds me of 'Odeshi'. And Ibime Closer is Classic. Toyin Subair (HiTV) (toy in Sub air), ryt? Mahdt Mehn! Gudnyt.

DAMN!!!!! . . . . .  You two are tooo crazy. . . DAMN!!

Anyways my take:

DBR had crazy metaphors and wordplay I could literally quote DBR's whole verse. .

Ibime as usual brought his ingenious mix of flow, multies, metas and wordplay ohhhh and was it funny
i was raving maddd with laughter while reading this shyt!! WTF

The multi's were unstoppable, the ingenuity breathtaking and the most important thing, the lead-ups to each punchline. . . haaa

my vote: IBIME
He was more lucid, understandable, had less generic punches. . .
DBR had phucking crazy metaphors and wordplay but that's all it was. . . no flow and even little rhyme. .  it felt like reading a book of punchlines, plus many of them where stuff Ive heard somfn a teeny bit like,  . . Dope/ crack. .  . pierce to heart/ cupid. . . . I feel some of his earlier verses on flow for rank could have rivalled Ibime's




season his a$$/ ginger his swag . . . hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. . . his chick lick/ big stick. . . muahahahahahahahaha,  . . oh boy na cry I dey cry here
Ibime u dey crase!!

No worry u go be bald rasta . . . u go soon run out of Lucks!!. . . ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. . DBR oh!!( wipes tears from eyes and goes to sleep)

*Gets a heart attack, Slumps and dies*

dbr and ibime , both of u ARE FOOLS, AND U THINK your LEAVING US WITH  ONLY ROUND ONE??, NO WAY, U MUST DO A ROUND 2,  I HAVENT EVEN READ your VERSES BUT I NO GREE NA DRAW, ROUND 2 MUST HAPPEN
THE BATTLE MUST CONTINUE

@ELDEE
your INTRO HAS LOST STEAM, WETIN HAPPEN??,, REPEATING ''ARMAGGEDON AGAINSEEMS RHYMESTEIN DENTED your INTRODUCTION SKILLS

MY VERDICT
IBIME CAME A BIT WEAK IN HIS EARLIER LINES BUT CAME HARDER TOWARDS THE END, DBR PUT IN MORE  WORK ON WORDPLAYS ONLY THAN IBIME,  BUT IBIME had MORE PUNCHLINEES AND OVERALL IMAGERY ,
THE BATTLE WAS WEAK GUYS, WE HAVE SEEN BETTER THAN THAN THIS FROM BOTH OF U BOYS,  MAKE UNA GO HARDER IN ROUND 2, THIS IS TOO WEAK AND DISAPPOINTING CONSIDERING THE LEVEL OF HYPE    DBR U DON CRAZE FINISH, SEE HOW U GOT BUSY TRYING TO MAKE SENSE FOCUSING ON ONLY WORDPLAY AT ALL COST
, U THINK THAT that  is all THERE IS TO HIPHOP?? your VERSE WAS BELOW AVERAGE , ,, MAGA    U REALLY TAKE THIS poo SERIOUS LIKE SAY U DEY WRITE PROFESSIONAL EXAM ,  DONT U.??

ON THE OVERALL IBIME'S LAST LINES MADE HIM STAND OUT, especially the ''TOY in Sub Air, and pull them part. family back'' punchline that was mad, am sure ibime himself never thot of toyin subair as ''toy in sub air'' lmao.
I GIVE THE BATTLE TO IBIME BUT WHICHEVER WAY , yall MUST DO a ROUND 2

Before I say anything, I will repeat what ofoka said. Eldeegity what the 4k happened to your intro?!

My Verdict :: DBR IBIME
Ofoka Ginger them jor. . . we need round 2.

What happened to Eldee's intro?? It ain't bad na

WORDPLAY = DBR
MULTIS = IBIME
PUNCHES = EQUAL
FLOW = EQUAL

To Me Sha, i dont know if i'm a credible voter sha, but i think it's a Draw. . . . .

Both TextCees Came up with less stuffs than i expected.

If Chance dey, i think there should be a round 2.

wat makes one a credible voter

Okay I'm back, was actually constructing my reply and dats hard on BB, my conclusion is simple #campaignforround 2 like IBB.

Some small points though, both addressed the issue at hand. Both played to their strengths, DBR wordplay, Ibime multies.

I disagree with streetwize, what he calls build up, I say wtf!! He's using 4 lines to deliver one punch. 4 lines!!! Battling is like boxing except that punch is heavy it won't score you much. And when the punchlines is ewood park, blackburn rovers? Wit all due respect, naah!!

Another thing, asides the issue being addressed I saw one direct line from DBR and none from Ibime.

spitzophrenic. . .spit yo zenit . .still no merit. . im'a slit throat bandit/

I followed this battle from the call out (makajibz bigups for lighting the fire jare) and I have to admit the sparring was better than the match itself.

#campaignforround 2!!

@Mobinga, have you seen any of Eldee's warcraft intros. He musta done this one after round 5, totally spent.

@battle

Both nikkurs came good. I might not be credible since i'm still an unknown personality. . .but i can still air my opinion.

DBR
. . .
He sacrificed a rythmic flow for excessive wordplays, only had a few multis here and there. His punches were direct, and some were jaw dropping. didn't have much humour in his verse, not much personals too. Like someone said, i think he's used up his best lines on FFR.

Ibime. . .
Have been reading his stuff since the first warcraft battles and i've known him to be very gifted at stringing multis together. But even this verse is weak. it had a lot of humour with a few lines, and some personals directed at the opponent's family and stuff like that. That's what a diss is about. Personally, i think he did better.
