Recap: As the story goes Danny Myers wanted a legend on his resume so bad that he was willing to pay $12K to do it. Was it worth it? Guess it depends on who you ask. Nonetheless, at least Rex showed up and put up a fight for most of the battle and despite a mostly subdued crowd that either can’t appreciate top-notch bars or just hated on a guy because he’s from the West coast, Danny still impressed. First round was close with Danny dropping some straight heat along with rapid (“I’m supposed to be humble ‘cuz you a legend? fuck that, how clown?, shooting at you from my balcony the time I bow down”) haymakers and all-too-potent personals. However, a motivated Rex edged the 1st with more consistency to his bar quotient, some straight (“I took your $12,000 and battled you when I wanted to nigga!”) stunting and a platitude of urban (“Tell Danny I got a box for him, and them freckles don’t look the same when there’s stitches on top of ’em!”) flair that reminded you of why he’s a legend in the first place. However, as it turned out the opening round would be the best overall round and the chance of a true legend vs. up-n-coming star possibly taking flight wouldn’t take place. As come the 2nd and 3rd rounds things returned to normal with Danny continuing to prove why he’s currently one of the best in the game, dropping more steady haymakers and fiery knockdown (“Bitch nigga like you can get exposed, real quick I’ll lift his soul, I’m in his bushes, crouched down [bends down] with the deuce like a prison pose”) punches without missing a beat, while Rex failed to build off his momentum with shortened rounds, more time complaints and grown man bars that were pretty much hit or miss. But hey, Danny finally got his long-awaited battle/win and the fact that Rex actually stayed away from the mixtape bars, went back to basics and gave you three original rounds feels like progress.
Verdict: Danny Myers (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Danny Myers – “I ain’t like the nigga you got, I’ll put you in the grave Rex, now I’mma take the chain off this pussy…like slave sex”
