I like Snicker's much more, because Oojay's has a fair amount of lame, formulaic filler (in terms of his overall ideas rather than wording). Personally, I think battle raps are better when they are loaded with true personal insults specific to the person you're battling, not random crap about, for example, having sex with their girlfriend/mother*. Unless you've actually had sex with the person's girlfriend or mother how is that taunting them? How can you taunt somebody with your own personal fantasies? I'd say that when a rapper brings this subject up it shows that they want to have sex with the other person's girlfriend/mother and the fact that they haven't makes them a failure.

Oojay's rap isn't pure cliche by any means, but there's many more recycled ideas in there than in Snicker's and cliche turns me off big time.


*This is one of the typical way over-used structures in battle raps and it pretty much demonstrates how the rapper is a sheep in wolves clothing.
