Bigg K defeats Arsonal da Rebel

Recap: Able to survive an Arsonal (“Y’all got me battling a white boy on Black Friday…I could be in somebody line purchasing some cheap shit!”; “Ya bird give long neck, but ain’t fly, that’s an ostrich!”) onslaught of verbal gymnastics in round 2, overall Bigg K’s more consistent flow, punchline regimen and hard-hitting (“Broad day you get in the intersection, lick one in the air like I’m testing the wind direction!”) gun bars gets him the 1st and 3rd rounds for the win.

Verdict: Bigg K (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Bigg K – “Have your wifey and your sister do the dishes, after that they sucking dick, then little stupid bitches…I’mma make ’em split the pole, they ain’t superstitious!”

Arsonal defeats TheSaurus

Recap: Battling himself with 3 way-too-lengthy rounds as much as he was his pedestrian-prone opponent TheSaurus, a punch-heavier was adept (esp. after a 1st round choke) enough with the pen to remain consistently spicy, via a wide load of racially-tinged barbs, fierce gun bars, boastful darts and gritty personals, in the latter rounds and come back for the win in this 3-rounder from Filmon.com.

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Arsonal – “I’m from a block where nigger’s hand that raw tho, you the type of cracker that’ll stop at a red light…on Grand Theft Auto!”

Rum Nitty defeats Arsonal da Rebel

Recap: A Dual in the Desert main event featuring the veteran Arsonal da Rebel vs. noted up-n-comer Rum Nitty lives up the hype with a highly competitive barfest filled with exquisite punchlines, wordplay and gritty bars. Both Nitty and Arsonal came strong in the 1st with da Rebel giving what the crowd wants: disrespectful lines, in-ya-face steez and wicked (“And most your chokes they like strangles, this a dual in the desert, it’s 90 degrees out this bitch and you still ain’t gone come at me with the right angles”) punches. Still, Nitty returns the heat with extra fire on top: fierce (“So go ahead, get in my face, that don’t intimidate, I’ll hit a Grape in his melon with this banana clip, i.e. lemonade”) punchlines, hometown bars, name flips and dope personals. 2nd round featured more consistently (“My Tommy will bust before it get to see Pam’s titties”; “Like bitches getting tattoos on boobies, I’m tit for tat”) nice jokes and punches from Arsonal, but also a couple of reaches and an interchangeable scheme (i.e. The Simpsons) we’ve heard many times elsewhere. On the other hand, Nitty spit a savvy round complete with fresh performance bars, rigid wordplay, street talk and (“Boy I got a gun so big…I can’t aim right, security caught me dragging that bitch off the elevator…like Ray Rice”) haymakers. Arsonal’s 3rd round may’ve been his hardest and most consistent what with hard-hitting (“They said you cripping, is it true Nitty? Well your baby mother said you ain’t never read [red] your daughter a story, but you ready to die over that blue Nitty?”) personals, more in-your-face aggression and heavy bars. And while Rum continued to spit that heat with easy swag, passion and ready-to-rumble (“Pause, Who want it? Line up, you’ll wind up red, that’s Merlo, I ain’t switching up breaks but he a prison inmate, you could’ve got this work for low [furlough]”) bars, his last round didn’t quite match up with Arsonal’s consistency. Still nonetheless, I got Rum edging the first couple of rounds to take this one in the end.

Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Arsonal – “I’m out here trying to fuck while you fingering bitches until your hand numb”

Daylyt defeats Arsonal da Rebel

Recap: Arsonal’s reputation for subpar performances on his home stage continues as Daylyt inserts a blue pill and goes back to basics here, reeling off bouyant (“Niggas feel like the gimmicks only get tired?, liar, I’m Tony the Tiger to the world I will forever be a great cat”) zingers, stifling personals, an ill performance and wild (“I’m a monster, Sasquatch, we swing arms with the open hand, you’ll get slap-boxed”) punchlines with steady ease. Against Arsonal’s mostly lackadaisical rhymes (granted the “I’m like a blind man reading, I done put hands on a lot of Dot’s” line was fire), recycled bars and all-too-familiar filler, it’s an easy win on the road for the kid from Watts.

Verdict:  Daylyt (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Daylyt – “Box for what nigga? Who’ll get a box, choose your casket, I’ll remove a bastard, you will Sho’nuff take bullets to the mouth, Who’s the Master?”

Arsonal defeats Big T

Recap: Prior to their noted PPV Total Slaughter match, Big T and Arsonal had already met up, doing this half battle-on-a-beat/half microphones match for MC War. Round 1, which was on beat, went to a clearly punch-heavier while Big T, coming off a shortened turn earlier, was able to spit a couple of more haymakers to tie things up in round 2 which was also on beat. Battling with written’s and off beat for round 3, Arsonal’s flashy wordplay, sizzling gun bars and piercing personals would combine to edge a pretty solid turn from his opponent for the win.

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Arsonal – “I’ll shoot at your house while you in it, you needed help bringing the mortgage down!”

Qleen Paper and Arsonal da Rebel [DEBATABLE]

Recap: In this solid 3-rounder from Black Ice Cartel, Arsonal does a mean Qleen Paper impression and had his moments (“The closest you’ll ever get to being King is Tekken 4!”) bar-wise, but way too many reaches and pedestrian lines hurts da Rebel in the long run versus a Queen hellbent on talking past beef with Detroit rappers when he wasn’t tossing out a nice assortment of gang-related personals and lucid boasts/punchlines. Still, as challenging as this battle was when it came to mediocre punches, it had its share of comical stylings from both battlers and stayed close throughout, leaving us with a slightly more versatile Ars taking the 1st round, before a more consistently potent Qleen edges the 2nd, before the two, pretty equal on bar efficiency, turn out a draw in the deciding 3rd.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Qleen Paper – “Fuck that, I ain’t bring no 9’s and shit, I got a scope so I can find a hit, y’all know how it go, the softest grape on the vine get bit!”

Arsonal defeats Yung Ill


Synopsis: Funny to see two vets who have been in the game so long that you would’ve sworn they’d been battled each other by now. But either way, a decent battle nonetheless (despite the wack headsets), that could’ve been so much better if Arsonal wasn’t always so hellbent on continuing to prove to everyone that he can out rap anyone and Ill was just more consistent. Sure, Ill used some old angles against Ars, but for the most part they worked and I’m all for props (as long they’re used right), but Ill didn’t stay on teh ghey angle long enough.. However, Ill knew who he was up against and after taking round one (thanks to, as usual, too much filler from da Rebel) Ars easily took the second with nice personals on Ill’s battle with his demons (“He ain’t got 5 cents to put cheese on a waffle, but got all the right tools to feed his addiction”) while just snapping in round 3, getting straight ig’nant with the rebuttals and killing it with tha “I might even change a diaper or two if I like the bitch, then pick her up and scream touchdown Cowboys!!! and spike the bitch” set up. Jersey.

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 2-1

Best line: Arsonal – “You St.Louis’ Star Smilez, you anotha pussy that Rex ate!”

Arsonal da Rebel defeats Swave Sevah

Recap: Swave Sevah has gone on record stating that it’s hard to get motivated to battle dudes that he’s cool with outside the ring, and it shows here as he goes light and puts forth a couple of short rounds against Arsonal. Then too Arsonal, because of his friendship with Swave, admittedly didn’t bring the full artillery for him either, but he still brought enough heat, along with some nice personals and bars to take a battle that could’ve been a lot better if they didn’t like other.

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Swave Sevah – “If God requires a sacrifice, you who I’mma offer. off ya, burst the desi, head shot, on the ready got your dreads looking like burnt spaghetti”

Charron defeats Arsonal da Rebel

Synopsis: Charron puts on an epic show in front of his hometown fans, consistently delivering dope bars, punchlines, jokes, rebuttals and personals (“I’ll give this Crip metal like the Special Olympics”) to easily take out da Rebel. How mad was Arsonal (granted he had a dope 3rd) about receiving this loss? Not only does he snatch the purple bandana out of Charron’s hand when he pulled it out, but apparently later on he’d get back his senses, recognize how nice how nice his opponent was and invite the guy to battle on UW.

Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Charron – “He’s a true Blood…season one owner!”

K-Shine defeats Arsonal da Rebel

Synopsis: Close call, but the edge here goes to K-Shine, partly due to overall better bars, schemes, the midget and IMO clearly winning round 3 (tho like him vs. Calicoe, he did O’D on the name flips). But then too, while Ars won round 1 handily, his clear disrespect of Shine (touching him several times and talking while he rapped throughout the battle) was wack for a vet and should lose him points on any card. Arsonal can do his disrespectful thing and put on a dope performance without breaking battle rap’s code of conduct. Plus, he knows damn well he wouldn’t have done that shit against certain other dudes. That being said, props to K-Shine for the win (esp. after the clear loss against Big T) and for literally being the bigger man on stage.

Verdict: K-Shine (W) 2-1

Best line: Arsonal – “You nothing but a Dot-mob flunkey, Rex never gonna promote you, Shine, what’s your first action when a terrorist approach you?, and I got the leverage to smoke you, these niggas hate seeing on they screen, you like the nigga in the Everest commercial”

Arsonal defeats Dizaster

Recap: Lengthy, but still entertaining with plenty of references to Drake throughout the battle, Dizaster versus Arsonal (a on the King of the Dot stage also contained a wide load of boastful darts/schemes, a mass amount of filler, spicy personals, redundant bars and fierce/aggressive punches. And while both battlers (despite neither quite being on their A-game) kept it competitive with displaying a seemingly mutual distaste for each other, a slightly more versatile Arsonal gets the win here, edging both the 1st and 3rd rounds in front of a cheering Canadian crowd that somehow stayed glued to this underwhelming battle from start to finish.

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Arsonal – “Introduce myself, get acquainted with ya ex bitch, just to knock her walls down, I nicknamed her Tetris!”

Arsonal and Goodz [DEBATABLE]

Recap: A couple of Lionz Den graduate’s, Goodz and Arsonal (“He still drinking that dark, he must ain’t seen what that Brown did till it got a hold of Whitney!”), take their skills to MC War stage, rhyming for two rounds over a beat before switching over for the final style to normal style, but with a microphone in hand. Definitely a goodie with a pair of captivating flows over a gritty beat that was backed by equally fierce punchlines, boastful darts, solid wordplay and blazing gun bars. In the end, we got Arsonal taking the 1st round before a punch-heavier Goodz edged the 2nd, while the last round was a draw.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Goodz – “I hate bitch nigga’s, you the type get a ticket for an open container and snitch nigga!”

Arsonal and Aye Verb [DEBATABLE]

Recap: Elongated throughout the battle, but still stunting in his opponent’s hometown with enough gritty (“I’m Arsenal, I could teach you to be a winner, I’ll Coach Carter you, let a shotgun rearrange your eye, formation without an audible!”) punchlines, relentless mayhem/gun bars and fiery personals (towards Aye Verb and fellow St. Louis battler Hitman Holla), although amazingly lengthy throughout the battle, Arsonal survives some at-times scathing condemnations from a scheme/personal-heavy Verb to earn a draw (Ars took Rd. 1, 2nd round was a tie and Verb edged round 3) in this 3-rounder from Smack/URL.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Aye Verb – “There’s a bigger G than being a gangsta, it’s called being a grown man!”

DNA defeats Arsonal da Rebel

 

Synopsis: Way too much filler, a plethora of lame lines about DNA’s dad and a surprising stumble in round 2 gave Arsonal the loss here. But then DNA’s 3rd round, what with the funny wig, exposing the UW league business dealings/editing skills and Arsonal’s past teh ghey moments during battles, deserved just as much credit for getting him a clear win.

Verdict: DNA (W) 2-1

Best line: DNA – “I like when he told Charlie Clips you can’t spell ARS without putting the bars in it, it’s just one problem in my rounds I been had bars in it, nigga while you was on Earth, I was on Mars with it, conquered my fears through blood, sweat and tears, in these battles I went through wars with it, over the years I opened some ears, met a few stars in it….”

Charlie Clips defeats Arsonal

Recap: It’s been said plenty of times by both critics and his peers that Arsonal can be filler-prone and no battle exemplifies that belief more than this one versus Charlie Clips. I mean, how bad did Ars’ penchant for saying a whole lot of nothing get? When you’re inviting a female member of your hometown crowd to suck your you-know-what because she’s bored stiff at listening to your pedestrian raps, you just know that it wasn’t a good day at the office. And let it be noted that besides a versatile, punch-heavy, scheme-savvy, witty and off-the-dome efficient Clips doing him in for 3 rounds (to be fair, the 1st round, easily Ars’ shortest and most condensed, was close), Ars’ failure to consistently get disrespectful (his biggest strength) with his bars and his bent on weak personals, predictable punchlines, elongated schemes as well as random shots at DNA and URL didn’t help his cause either in a battle that was ultimately pretty one-sided.

Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Charlie Clips – “I could see mama Arsonal texting his phone, ‘Hey baby come over for supper!’, he walk in with an attitude ‘cuz the first person he spot is his brother, on his way to wash his hands in the bathroom, what did he discover?, a woman kissing on Joe Budden’s neck and it’s ya mother…everybody in your family like Joe Buddens’ Ars!”

Arsonal defeats Crome

 

Synopsis: Who are all these “American rappers” who keep Crome in their mouth? Anyway, when asked who was the worst rappers he’s faced, Arsonal mentioned Illmac and this guy Crome. Funny that, because Crome actually wasn’t that bad here, esp. with the way he kept pointing out Arsonal’s sometimes racist fuckery in round 2 and pulled Ars’ time (and ‘G’) card in round 3. But despite choking in the 3rd round, Ars edged the first two with enough disrespectful lines (“Your ex bitch….she flat-chested with no ass, so you be humping what?, I’ll fuck that bitch in a jacuzzi full of suds and tell her now you got a bubble butt”) and better, consistent bars to edge it in the end.

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 2-1

Best line: Crome – “And I’m tired of you talking about Hollow da Don and how you chalked him out in Fight Klub, what’s the first and the second rule of Fight Klub?, ‘We do not talk about Fight Klub!'”

Shotty Horror defeats Arsonal

Recap: One of the best performances you’ll see from Arsonal, gets done for via his own doing: being too lengthy (and no, we’re talking filler, but redundancy). Indeed, with a near equal amount of haymakers as his just-as-vibrant, witty, personal-lit, mayhem-bent and lyrically sharp opponent Shotty Horror in a battle that should go down as one of the best of the year, it’s a more condensed Shotty who edges the first two rounds for the win, before Arsonal matches quality with excess quantity during a highly entertaining (on both sides) superb 3rd round (that included a spitfire alphabet scheme from Ars) to avoid the shutout.

Verdict: Shotty Horroh (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Shotty Horror – “U Are Ill, that’s why u hate Smack!”

Math Hoffa defeats Arsonal

Recap: Showing off some superb bar execution and fine set-ups/breakdowns, all the while ridiculing his opponent Arsonal’s alleged lack of bar efficiency throughout the bout, mixing in some witty barbs, rough bully talk, stinging personals (esp. during a and performance-rich punches (not including some shots at the Dot Mobb crew), Math Hoffa flexes with a versatile game of bullish lyrical heat (esp. during a potent round 2 where he took shots at Arsonal and Murda Mook) to beat back a punch-bent and witty at times, but mostly pedestrian and elongated Arsonal for all 3 rounds of this main event matchup from UW Battle League.

Verdict: Math Hoffa (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Math Hoffa – “You did the ABC’s in your last battle, that’s why I feel blessed we could meet, ‘cuz I got a question…could you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?!”

Arsonal da Rebel defeats Illmaculate

Recap: Close battle for the first coupe of rounds with Arsonal using bully bars, street talk and the Rick Flair backwards to take the 1st while Illmaculate took the 2nd with some nice personals, rebuttals and esoteric (“Now your life’s in a downward spiral like a double helix”) bars. But any momentum Illmac gained from winning the 2nd round is quickly dissolved due to a complete meltdown (Was he drunk? Does it matter.) and choke in round 3, leaving Arsonal to pick up the pieces while pretty much having to complete his round without choking to take the win, which he does with ease.

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Arsonal – “Your new bitch seen my dick said ‘I’mma try my best with it’, she couldn’t fit it down her throat so your wide neck ex did it”

Arsonal da Rebel defeats T-Rex

Recap: Besides an excellent first (“I got a Trick Trick that’ll make you forget what a Shotgun is!”) round from T-Rex, the best thing about this battle might be the footage which featured quality lighting and superb camera positioning throughout. However, thanks to some lame extra shit between Arsonal’s man Ray Swag and Murda Mook (who should know better than to talk during Arsonal’s round), an alright battle is upstaged, a minor brouhaha ensues and everyone has to clear the stage so the battle can be wrapped up. Arsonal wins if for nothing else but packing just enough heat, aggressive (“Boy down and kiss the Chuck’s like you Leroy, nigga!”) bars, schemes and overall versatility in two elongated rounds to edge out Rex’s way-too-short 3rd and just decent 2nd.

Verdict: Arsonal da Rebel (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Arsonal da Rebel – “I ain’t never seen Redman or Treach get treated like a sucker, but I did see Cam and Jim Jones both get ran out the Rucker”

Calicoe defeats Arsonal da Rebel

Recap: Thanks to Uncle Trick Trick introducing himself to the world outside of Detroit, so much has already been said about this battle that we’ll just keep it short and judge it on who rapped better. So while Arsonal had some good (“You X-Factor and Miles…you dirty motherfuckers!”) jokes, was aggressive throughout, came with hard (“Your punk ass daddy only did one crime, one time, now he only get an hour worth of sunshine”) bars along with plenty of personals and altogether put on a dope performance, too much filler and average bars, especially in rounds 1 and 3 (the alphabet scheme was nice, but it wasn’t unique or that much better than all the other dudes have given us their versions of Papoose’s bestowla to the world), hurt him. For Calicoe, along with a more cohesive and consistent show, he really impressed mocking Arsonal’s style of rap, dispensing dope (“I mean I heard of MTV Jams, shit I even heard of MTV 2, but your shit cam eout on MTV U, I mean I’m not even sure that’s something MTV do”) rebuttals along with exquisite (“They think I’m good [Goodz] but I don’t throw bottles, I’m jumping in this crowd like I play for the Packers”) punchlines, personals, gritty street bars and fleeting wordplay. Good, entertaining and close battle, but I got Calicoe edging rounds 1 and 3 to take it in the end.

Verdict: Calicoe (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Calicoe – “This is what Wale would look like if Rick Ross ain’t gave him another chance”

Arsonal defeats E-Ness

Synopsis: Damn, E-Ness could’ve mumbled rapped a bar and his Philly homies would’ve cheered for him. But hey, can’t knock a guy for making sure his whole block shows up to support him. That said, this battle had all the mixing of what ads up to no replay value: crazy hot venue, sweaty mugs, a boisterous and almost deafening crowd, bad mics and a shitload of weak, pedestrian bars from both Ness and Arsonal. Thus, in the end you’re left deciding not who really won, but who lost.

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 2-1

Best line: E-Ness – “All your jewelry passed down, Mack Maine”

Pat Stay defeats Arsonal da Rebel

Synopsis: How hurt was Arsonal by not being allowed to deliver his usual 10-minute rounds? Judging from his taking off his sweater in round 3, he was ready to fight. Of course, when somebody gets out of character during a battle rap that could also be a sign of them knowing that they’re losing. Granted, da Rebel put up a decent fight and came out the gate swinging (the “10 Ways to kill a Canadian” scheme was nice, but could’ve been so much better), but as seen here too much filler: “I keep 2 dessert eagles cocked on the dashboard of your dream car”, doesn’t bode well against the likes of Pat Stay whose steady and pointed (as in breaking down Arsonal’s gangsta image) jokes, personals and flat-out bars left da Rebel whining.

Verdict: Pat Stay (W) 2-1

Favorite line:  Pat Stay – “His mom’s is a Crip too, it all started when me and the click slid through, she was on her red rag so the bitch just blew [blew]”)

Hitman Holla defeats Arsonal da Rebel


Synopsis: A highly anticipated matchup (with both battlers bringing their A-game when it came to promoting this battle) on URL Hitman ended up taking pretty easy, this battle remains noteworthy to this day. First, there’s a filler-prone Arsonal, partly stuck in GrindTime mode (jokes over bars, with too many of them coming off as lame here) while also struggling with his similes (to think, it would take awhile for him to get over ‘squidwords clarinet’), jokes, longwindedness and disrespectful zingers to the point that the Jersey crowd booed him in the 3rd round (ironically, his best round where is scored here as debatable after Holla clearly took rounds 1 and 2). Secondly, Hitman’s more direct, short and condensed rounds was on point here as nary a bar was wasted. Finally, overall Hitman just had better punches, crowd control/storytelling/performance (esp. the classic Arsonal/T-Rex story arc in rd. 2), jokes, personals and to top it off, a killer opening/mid-round freestyle: “His homeboy keep talking while I’m rapping, not cool!, the contact said I can’t hit this nigga, not you!” And two words after that…ball game.

Verdict: Hitman Holla (W) 2-1

Best line: Hitman Holla – “Talking about you ran blocks…nigga in your school but you wouldn’t run traffic lights!”

Arsonal da Rebel defeats Tech-9

Recap: “Razor blades, more plates! Razor blades, more plates!” Always entertaining that Tech-9. But in a battle that was a lot closer than a lot of people give it credit for, Arsonal’s ability to spit lines just as (“Fake no-name ass nigga! Type to get a nose-ring ass nigga!’) comical as Tech’s, along with better deliveries, personals and performance (“She cherish my semen, she wanted to bottle my shit, I told her leave it on ya pillow bitch, you’ll acknowledge my shit!”) bars, got him this one.

Verdict: Arsonal da Rebel (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Arsonal – “He probably fuck 4 bitches in his life…and they all fat!”

Arsonal defeats Conceited

 

Synopsis: This is like Arsonal took a trip around the world, found every short joke he could find and brought them all with him to this battle. And it worked for a couple of reasons: this is Grind Time, a battle league where jokes matter over bars and the simple fact that Conceited seemed to put all of his energy for this battle into his classic round one–a great round no less, but too bad for Con this wasn’t a one-rounder.

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 2-1

WTF: Conceited’s hype man, who for all the wrong reasons, has gotten as much shine as this battle has–any wonder we haven’t seen him since?

Best line: Arsonal – “I’ll fuck you up physically, no handwork, all kicks”

Okwerdz defeats Arsonal

Synopsis: Never was much of a fan of Okwerdz, esp. with his often lame, loud, straightforward, simple wordplay and play to the home crowd semantics. But his signature stylings worked here, what with enough personals (remember this is early Arsonal, Fight Klub champ), “you recycle bars” mentions and “Fresh coast” hysterics to edge him a win here. Clearly too, Arsonal not only didn’t fully prepare for this battle (too much filler, not enough punches), but he clearly underestimated his opponent and the time limits (which are like kryptonite to da Rebel) definitely worked in Okwerdz favor as well. 

Verdict: Okwerdz (W) 2-1

Best line: Arsonal – “I’ll finger all 3 of her holes, she a bowling ball”

Arsonal defeats Rich Dolarz

Part 2 Part 3  

Synopsis: A battle that deserves a rematch if only because I think both Richie and Arsonal would agree that they could put on a lot better show now compared to this early Sub Zero matchup. Filled with way too much filler, lame lines, not enough hot bars and a crowd that was clearly there to see Rich take out a body, Arsonal only won because Rich was that bad.

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 2-1

Best line: Arsonal – “I’m the only rapper selling swag on Ebay”

Arsonal defeats Holly Hood


   

Synopsis: Versus the underwhelming Holly Hood, this wasn’t a fair fight. Other than that it’s only worth watching to peep Arsonal for the first time on the URL stage.

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 3-0

Best line: Arsonal – “I’m a promethazine Sprite nigga, he’s a Michelob Light sipper”

Arsonal defeats Hollow da Don

 

Synopsis: Da Rebel at his best: loud, aggressive, cocky, disrespectful and a few Hulkamania leg drops to finish off Hollow da Don and get the 3-count. Really, did Hollow just underestimate Arsonal or was he just unprepared? Perhaps both. Because that stunned look da Don got on his face throughout this battle reminds me of the same look Tay Roc had against Charlie Clips. Why this battle even went to overtime served as just another reason why Fight Klub had to go–tho unfair to Arsonal, it did give him a reputation for recycling bars when it should’ve never went to OT in the first place

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 4-0

Best line: Arsonal – “Last week I saw your rap sheet, you had one charge…wandering”

Arsonal da Rebel defeats RemyD

Recap: Showing that he takes no mercy on out-of-town spitters, Arsonal goes ham and spazzes on RemyD’s midwest flow and significant others throughout this tournament battle from Fight Klub. In order to finish the kill and leave no witnesses the coup-de-grace comes when da Rebel decides that even the kids can not be spared: “I’ll kidnap your child, shove a bomb down his throat and blow that little muthafukka into several slices!” It’s a wrap.

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Arsonal – “Your bitch, she a fiend, but she the queen of the deep throat, that bitch will suck the fucking motor off a speed boat”
