Recap: As surprising as it is to see GE still in the PG’s all these years later, at least his rhyme patterns and skill set haven’t faltered any. Here against the up-n-comer (“This ain’t about who’s older or who’s younger, this a has-been vs. pure hunger, kill them all, count up the bodies, R. Kelly, Aaliyah, A-G-E [Hey, GE] ain’t nuthin’ but a number!”) Quban, the Wisconsin vet does just enough to pull out a tough one, coming back after a round 1 loss to edge the latter two rounds with a rapid set of fire punchlines, fiery set-ups, some flinching personals and loud (“Nigga, don’t play with me, you ain’t gotta wait and see, these chopper’s come out first…like baby teeth!”) gun bars. Indeed, while the battle stayed close and competitive throughout, a few too many pedestrian bars by Quban and a more consistent and wordplay-heavy GE in the deciding 3rd also settled matters.
Verdict: GE (W) 2-1
Favorite line: GE – “Fuck all that, I came to get my shit back, and I don’t black, I O.J.!”
