Recap: Rosenberg Raw gets off to a hot start in an apparent grudge match against Johnie Alcatraz, using some nice personals and witty (“Suge, what part of Jersey this dickhead from, Cherry Hill?”) anecdotes to easily take round one. However, as the battle moves on, Raw’s bars get less potent and his delivery gets enigmatic, allowing Johnie’s rich performance bars and lucid (“…Raw got pissed, walked in and tried to grab his toaster, so I left Rose on the front porch, I’m a Casanova”) punchlines to edge round two. Last round is a lazy round for both with Raw getting laconic but not saying too much and Johnie failing to take advantage with a couple of punches that landed but did little damage. Call it even.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Rosenberg Raw – “…my only question is how many different colors you got?, you probably be matching the mirror like these red Jay’s gonna do one thing and I’mma kill it when I match it with the red tongue ring”
