Recap: First, props to XQZ for that “Office Space” bar, as a huge fan myself, I would love to see more of them in battle rap. Moving on, the judges were all on point here. Had the action-packed and slightly punch-heavier Bill Collector also taking the opening round, before getting sloppy with his flow and bars in both of the latter rounds (tho his rebuttals were nice as well as his freesttye ability, because that’s what the vets should be able to do when they find themselves trouble remembering their bars) and leaving his opponent, who was consistently witty and punch/angle-lit (esp. when it came to taking a different approach with the infamous ShowOut punch) throughout, with more than enough room to earn the win in this KOTD tournament S1W20 battle.
Verdict: XQZ (W) 2-1
Favorite line: XQZ – “Bill, we all watch porn so there’s nothing to worry about, just some days you gotta beat those insecurities out!”
