Recap: Dre Dennis (“Like a little white lie, I been [bend] the truth”!) can rap often and forever, but elongated rounds can work against him as is the case where after splitting the first round with a just as solidly nice (“Flow illegal, plain [plane] outta here, Muslim people!”) Spee Dolla, Dennis easily takes the 2nd round with way more fiery (“It’s a wrap with a hand on my hip, like the old Tsu Surf!”) punchlines, hitting gun bars and a nice rebuttal at the intro. Going into the 3rd with the lead, it’s more of the same sizzling (“I’ll swing them arms back like George Jefferson walking!”) lines for Dre in the 3rd…except for him once again rapping too long and really lacking variety with the bars, which in turn waters down his consistency as his punches aren’t always hitting with the same impact. And that leaves Spee Dolla, while dishing fierce wordplay along with some nice (“Grab a street sweeper, barrel look like a Louisville, water Tommy gun, that clip could make a movie reel!”) performance bars in what was his best round despite a shorter turn than his opponent (with but with a higher bar quotient), with enough will and a little more variety to take the round and earn a debatable.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Spee Dolla – “Different picture, you chumps will be slumped if I looked to hit ya, shortie riding, she fixing to rock it [rocket], he Hidden Figures!”
