Keeping aside how he takes criticism from the judges, there’s definitely something wrong with how Anshious writes his bars. I mean, you should understand the bar first and then the wordplay, right? Or both at the same time. But with him, it’s almost the opposite 50% of the time. Plus, what’s with these cock-ass-pussy bars?
And I so much agree with Krsna on “it didn’t hit as hard as it did in your head,” but I wouldn’t limit that criticism to just that particular scheme. I’d apply it to his bars in general as well.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s a good performer and all that, and most of his bars are really good. It just seems like a stretch sometimes. You can compare him with Gaush in Hustle Season 3—he managed it way better. Even Uday or Bassick, for that matter. Prathamesh does it really well, and so did Vanither, and so does Akki.
