Hail King Hayden... hehe.

It will be a bit odd very cool if the final just ends up being Hayden's hip-hop nominees though.

Kendrick, fairly easily for me. It just feels like a more complete, coherent song. Both are good, though.

Agreed

Hardly going to go against my own nom now, but this is a solid battle. Either outcome is fine by me.

Easily toughest matchup of the game for me.

But I'm going to have to go Kendrick cuz I really thought it was going to win the whole thing from the get go (now someone is going to be "internet friendly" and prove me wrong).
