Recap: Championship round of URL’s Ultimate Madness 2 tournament between Bill Collector and Holmzie Da God gets the feted Summer Madness 10 platform, a significant first for each battler. Unfortunately however, overall it’s a mostly subpar affair as the two battlers (who happen to be part of the same Loud Boys clique) clearly didn’t bring their respective A-games to the bout and too often at times seemed focused on their ‘brotherhood’ rather than showing us who could rap better. Holmzie, often indirect with his punches and kicking a gang of pedestrian bars in every round, could never match the consistent heat he brought with his wordplay and punchlines that got him to the finals. While Bill, tho seeming to want it more at times, might have been suffering from battling too much late what with his lack of high-kneed hijinks and creativity. Nonetheless someone had to win and the edge here (despite Holmzie winning getting the belt in real time) in each round goes to BC, who overall was more direct and just had better punches, especially in his best round, the 3rd.
Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Bill Collector – “I’m here to seal ya fate, it’s easy to get of rid of Holmes when you from the real estate!”
