I think in general, the power of rap battles for in-depth sound analysis has been systematically neglected around these parts. I say no longer.
Got my dog ready on tha turntable! :D

Riding in a noisy train I reach for my bag
May be I’ll bang my head for a tune I think
But an open back beast called i4 is all I have
I don’t sweat as I know for a fact
In a few weeks time I’ll have with me something
With the voice of a thrush
It’ll vanish into my ears like a ghost
After all its name is Phantom and the game is on...

I cringed when seeing that doggie on the turntable. I just hope it’s a direct drive as there are few belt drives strong enough to turn that lad.

For a second there I thought your concern was for the doggie. Silly me! :sweat_smile:

Phantom sees your i4
Says "you'll need some ice, of course."

Gets in the attack zone,
Bass like stealth drone.

Mids taken from Zeus
Treble blows you off your shoes.

i4's a lame horse
Next to this dark force:

PHANTOMMM

WAIT!!!! Sorry to alarm and confuse you. That's the only Technique DD table. Very powerful motor back in the day. It should be ok. (dog person here :wink: ).

Rhymin' with timin', the IEM game is On!
Your opens be posin' and your Phantoms stand ready
Taking up their banners, and marching for the throne

But don't place thy bets just yet

The Legend of the X rides swiftly from the West
With deep, dual drums to sound the call of our war
Of which only the histories can crown the best

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
What?

The Legend of the X rides swiftly from the West
With deep, dual drums to sound the call of our war
Of which only the histories can crown the best
The Phantom and the Legend
Topping off the new seven

Empire Ears from below to the heavens
Shoot out? They blew out
the wanna-be peasants

Tandemly striking these
Foes, best be on your knees!

Throw away your i4
and the litz with the silver core
plugged into an AK
Your ears are definitely sore
Open up your wallet
Cause you want some more
Heard of the new phantom
Runnin to the next store
plug that sucker in, jaw dropping to the floor
Shut up and take my money
Or I won't ever again take that door

even though i love my Zeus so much
and i must admit my NT6 is no slouch
i can hear approaching me the Phantom touch
and my wallet is about to scream with pain 'ouch'

Jack Vang and his gang
are back with a bang
lock your wallet and your wife
our craziest iem dreams have come to life

No pain no gain, the wise men say
Don’t let the fit leave you with dismay
For those patient ones I will provide
A bass and stage on the mightiest side

Not my enemy the phantom is
For mids and timbre are glories his
As parters we’ll rule sir eaglewings toys
For I am the i4, I ain’t for no school boys
