Analysis

The Don't Flop stage saw Instance and Cosmic go head-to-head in a battle that left the crowd with mixed reactions but a clear victor. Instance brought a calm, collected demeanor, delivering his bars with a confident flow and a well-thought-out structure that resonated with a significant portion of the viewership. His performance was often described as authentic and prepared, showcasing a rapper comfortable in his element.

Cosmic, on the other hand, brought a more abstract style, dropping what some fans called 'crazy bars' that demonstrated his unique lyrical approach. However, his performance wasn't without its challenges; his third round, in particular, proved difficult for many to grasp, leading to confusion among the audience. Additionally, some viewers pointed out his stage presence, noting a tendency to look around and touch his nose, which detracted from his delivery.

Ultimately, Instance's consistency and clearer delivery across the rounds, especially in contrast to Cosmic's less coherent closing, earned him the nod from the majority.
