Recap: Funny how an up-n-coming battle rap dude (in this case Aye Dot) can quickly go from confident and cocky to butt-hurt and sad after possibly ruining a chance to beat a top tier battler by slipping up and nearly choking during his round. To be fair tho, there was no way Aye Dot (who did deliver some solid schemes and wordplay during his turn when he wasn’t struggling with his flow) was beating Real Deal in this GHOGH 1-rounder anyway. The Pittsburgh vet staying on his opponent’s neck with a stellar rebuttal, a bunch of flexing punchlines, brazen boasts and witty/mocking personals to handily gain the win.
Verdict: Real Deal (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Real Deal – “I had to go back and watch his battles just to see how wack dude was, I’ve got throwaway bars you’d get tattoo’s of!”
