Recap: Highlighted by a trio of rare rebuttals-in-the-middle-of-the-round bars, DNA puts forth one of the most consistently superb 3 rounds you’ll ever see in battle rap to take out a mostly (“Your freestyle’s nice, but we don’t fuck with your writtens, I never met a toothless nigga that had trouble with spitting!”; “I’m official, Question: do you feel like trash? Clips standing there watching you get punched out, do you feel like Math?”) nice, but sometimes pressing at times Syahboy (who was probably still feeling himself a little bit from almost single-handedly beating DNA and K-Shine in a 2-on-2 battle with John John da Don earlier in 2015). Indeed, it was a complete showing by DNA: exquisite (“Y’all think this herb will peel on me?, y’all joking, he go to sleep and wake up to the ‘K’, Lamar Odom!”; “He don’t even know who to pop, his set DOA, but the more he [Maury] talk, he know not to test dna!”) wordplay, a wicked delivery, dope performance bars, delicious personals and fiery (“Send shots ya boo way, then have something dark liquor [dark lick her] D’ssue!”) punchlines that not only sunk any chance his opponent had of winning, but was probably the best DNA we’ve seen since the classic Dizaster battle.
Verdict: DNA (W) 3-0
Favorite line: DNA – “All your bars is useless, you think you smart but stupid, Immature, now You Got Served, that’s Marques Houston!”
