Recap: Arsonal’s reputation for subpar performances on his home stage continues as Daylyt inserts a blue pill and goes back to basics here, reeling off bouyant (“Niggas feel like the gimmicks only get tired?, liar, I’m Tony the Tiger to the world I will forever be a great cat”) zingers, stifling personals, an ill performance and wild (“I’m a monster, Sasquatch, we swing arms with the open hand, you’ll get slap-boxed”) punchlines with steady ease. Against Arsonal’s mostly lackadaisical rhymes (granted the “I’m like a blind man reading, I done put hands on a lot of Dot’s” line was fire), recycled bars and all-too-familiar filler, it’s an easy win on the road for the kid from Watts.
Verdict: Daylyt (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Daylyt – “Box for what nigga? Who’ll get a box, choose your casket, I’ll remove a bastard, you will Sho’nuff take bullets to the mouth, Who’s the Master?”
