Recap: When Tay Roc got 3-0’d in the first battle between him and Charlie Clips, the biggest critique for Roc might’ve been his lack of aggression throughout the match. A big surprise considering that outside of that now classic battle, the legendary Baltimore, MD, spitter’s aggressive flow has almost never been called into question. And that’s the case here in this long-awaited rematch between Roc Clips that fires on all cylinders when it comes to not only Roc’s assertiveness, but also on a whole standout lyricism, heated gun bars, dope schemes (from both battlers), fierce punchlines, fly wordplay, crafty wit, shout-out’s to Clips’ grandma and of course, fiery lines concerning their previous (btw, nice move by Smack to bring Loaded Lux up the stage before the start of the battle in a salute to Lux’s old Lion’s Den, which is where these two first faced off) encounter. That said, with both battlers having gained so much experience and star power since their first meeting, it’s only right that they brought their A-game and that this rematch goes into the 3rd tied (what with a punch-heavier Roc edging the 1st round, while a more personal and creative storytelling Clips edged the 2nd)/ And it’s Roc who edges a close 3rd here, getting some major payback via a slightly more consistent turn with the heat, more condensed when taking in account an equal amount of haymakers from both battlers and less bent than his opponent on the usage of redundant personals. Either way, a spitfire battle altogether and one can only hope for a Part 3 to take place sooner than later.
Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Tay Roc – “Fuck you, this rematch unnecessary, who’s the legend?,beating me is what made you legendary!, Charlie get hit with the 1st and then the secondary, then DNA get the business like its hereditary!”
