Recap: Good to see the underrated (“I’m a fan of Team Homi, but you mad wack, if you sign?, the deal won’t include mad stacks, they’ll pay you in Newports and doo-rag packs!”) M. Ciddy back in the ring, but too bad here against an always dangerous opponent in Xcel, the long layoff may’ve hampered him a bit as throughout this battle too many of his punches just didn’t hit with the usual flair and intricacy that we’re used to seeing. On the other hand, except for a pretty standard 2nd, Xcel shined throughout with righteous (“I swear, these pussies niggas grow beards and think they like that, but nigga you play Samson, I’ll test the strength in here [hair], you’ll get your life snatched!”) personals, witty anecdotes and searing (“While you was watching Pokeman, I was poking niggas for mine!”) invectives that were backed by a versatile and aggressive gameplan that he executed to a tee.
Verdict: Xcel (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Xcel – “How you gonna win?, say I’m a bum, talk about how my apparel fits?, well since I’m bummy I guess it’s [only] right I keep the barrel lit!”
