Rating System

🥶 1–2: Strikeout

Didn’t connect at all.
Off-beat flows, unclear vision, or poor production. The potential might be there, but it’s buried under missed execution. Time to hit the cage and work on the fundamentals.

🧱 3–4: Ground Out

Made contact, but didn’t make it far.
Some ideas are there, but the project lacks energy, cohesion, or creativity. Could use stronger mixing, more developed writing, or just more reps in the game.

🧢 5–6: Base Hit

You’re on the board.
A decent showing — not a home run, but not a flop. There’s something here: maybe a good performance, a standout verse, or a unique style. Still, some areas need tightening before you’re truly in scoring position.

🔥 7–8: Extra Bases

This one’s got wheels.
Strong concept, clean production, sharp delivery. Replay value is high, and the talent is obvious. A few tweaks away from greatness — you’re in scoring position and catching eyes.

🏆 9–10: Home Run

Outta the park.
Everything connects — bars, beats, vibe, vision. This is top-tier, championship-level work that earns instant respect and long-term replay. A Sandlot classic in the making.
