Recap: Cortez, who’s been talking a lot lately about needing his peers to start ‘putting respect on my name’, stops by iBattle for a 3-rounder against the lyrical wordsmith that is Xcel and after a debatable and fire-on-both-sides round 1, uses a righteous at times, personal-heavy, gritty, and more punchline-lit rounds 2 and 3 to earn the win over an opponent who gave a game effort, but just couldn’t keep up with Cor’s verbal barrage in the latter two rounds.
Verdict: Cortez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Cortez – “It’s global warming, I make blocks hot for the winter!”
