Recap: 2nd round KOTD Grand Prix tourney between two battlers, Showoff and J. Murda, who happen to close friends outside the sport, doesn’t quite live up to the hype (the personal’s weren’t as detailed as one might’ve liked), but does stay competitive with Show’s aggression and rigid wordplay (esp. in round 2) matching the heat from Murda’s gritty name flips and hardbody punches enough for the two to split things going into the 3rd. And while the final round was a bit underwhelming as well, it’s the rebuttal-tossing, ever-wily and more punch-heavy Murda who handily takes it in the end.
Verdict: J. Murda (W) 2-1
Favorite line: J. Murda – “You said I was the devil on ya shoulders Show, and that’s why you fuck with me, then turned around and told nigga’s flight your demons, so they threw you in front of me!”
