Learn how to perform, utilize stage presense and control the crowd the way T-Top and Loso do here in this 3-round URL ‘Redemption 2’ matchup. Entertaining and competitive throughout in front of a crowd that was captivated from the beginning to the end, all the while dialing up versatile displays on both ends with plenty of Christian-laced darts/disses, hard-hitting personals, spicy (Loso: “Hey yo, you a lame bra, I know we not in Florida, but out here college football is what the doctor order, in other words why play off Top for, TCU getting washed in Georgia!”) set-up/punchlines, witty barbs, frenzied angles, rich struggle bars and solid wordplay, both Top and Loso kept it gritty for a trio of rounds. Add in some dope name flips by Loso and a crazy ‘How You Know Jesus Was Black’ trope by Top in round 2 to make things even more amped and after a debatable round 1, it’s a more haymaker-lit T-Top who takes the 2nd before a more steady punching/scoring Loso took the 3rd to make this sizzling bout a debatable.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: “T-Top – “I said ‘pause’, bro you was voted the sexiest man in battle rap, in a culture that’s 98 percent men and he had the nerve to be smiling after, they said it was between him and John John and J2’s vote was the deciding factor!”
