Recap: Good to see Kid Twist, one of the best Canadian battle rappers out there, taking on a URL head in John John da Don. Even better is witnessing a good battle between two contrasting styles as neither battler underestimated their opponent. JJDD came hard with some dope gun (“I bought my Nina a friend, Why? because she enjoys company, I feel like Andy with Buzz and Woody, these toys stuck with me, I let ’em take turns with Kid like joint custody!”) bars and rich punchlines, while Twist’s penchant for tactful rebuttals and witty (“But I’ll bring in the real reason for your name into light, you’re a double-john because hookers started made you start paying them twice”) jokes scored heavy. Got Kid Twist taking the 1st round easy and the same goes for JJDD with the 3rd. So with the battle coming down to the middle round, it’s Twist who gets the win with more consistently nicer bars, better crafted angles and doper (“….you’re like a kid who didn’t make it in sports, you been getting the Battle Rap Participation Award”) personals.
Verdict: Kid: Twist (W) 2-1
Favorite line: John John da Don -“I bet you thought I was coming with some wack shit, sorry, this ain’t what you expected, you been Catfished”
