No Bias. No Narratives.
Recap: From We Go Hard, a consistently gritty, wordplay nice and name flip/punchline-lit Henny #3 spouts enough wreck to beat back a mayhem-rich and frequently stinging with the punches, but also a bit flow-challenged Bedaffi Green in what was altogether a fiery 1-rounder.
Verdict: Henny #3 (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Henny #3 – “Y’all ever seen the M&M commercial?, yeah?, Green’s a bitch!”
Recap: Readily known for his charisma and wit, but over time becoming a dope puncher as well, a versatile (the spicy name flips, salacious food references and graphic mayhem also stood out here), a more haymaker-lit Hollaluyah Jones takes both of the opening rounds of this 3-round We Go Hard battle to get the win, before opponent Bedaffi Green (who outside of being a bit flow-challenged, excelled in the 1st before coming through with a bit of a lackluster 2nd) saves his strongest and most punch-lit round for the 3rd to edge that turn over yet another pretty solid effort from Jones and avoid the shutout.
Verdict: Hollaluyah Jones (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Hollaluyah Jones – “Random…why Haitain’s always got a first name for a last name?, it be some shit like Jean Michael Jean or some shit like St. Michael Paul, but I still fuck with y’all!”
Recap: Main event Smoke Room Battle League bout between Bedaffi Green and Young Kannon comes with another hardbody/punch-heavy 3rd round by Mr. I Said That. But able to score at whim with a gang of rapid-fire punches that embodied a fierce mix of blazing name flips, pointed personals, persistent mayhem/gun bars and rousing punchlines, it’s the vet YK who takes the first two rounds for the win.
Verdict: Young Kannon (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Young Kannon – “At your wig let the .44 clap, end a Gold member like Austin Powers…yeah, I got my mojo back!”
Recap: Spouting the kind of aggressive, hardbody, gripping punchlines and earnest gun bars that earned him a few URL appearances not too long back, but really stepping it up with an epic, personal-lit and heavy on the stunting round 3, in this 3-rounder from We Go Hard, Bedaffi Green also delivered a consistent amount of backbreaking heat to take round 1 as well. Thus taking the win over a pretty solid, gritty with the smoke and competitive…until he choked in the final round, True Indeed.
Verdict: Bedaffi Green (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Bedaffi Green – “You ever let off 4 shots and picked up 3 shells, now you can’t sleep?!?”
Recap: Dope battle between Bangz and Bedaffi Green comes down to the 2nd round as an elongated, but consistently spitfire and punchline/wordplay crazy Bangz takes the 1st, while a versatile, witty and more punch-heavy Bedaffi easily took the 3rd. And while the always aggressive and vigorous Beddafi puts forth a solid turn, round 2 and the win belongs to a freestyle/rebuttal dishing, personal spitting, set-up savvy and jocular Bangz.
Verdict: Bangz (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Bangz – “I came here literally to 30 this nigga, but watch [points hand like gun at Bedaffi’s head] how many rounds I give him!”
Recap: Consistently dishing his punches to an ill effect and coming nice with a load of Left-coast jargon and fiery name flips, Bedaffi Green’s first appearance on the West coast is a fire one. And tho the always highly strung (and confident) Cali Smoov keeps it close for two rounds with his own spicy punchlines and at times, clever wordplay, one too many so-so bars, gaffes on the personals and spotty sermonizing in the latter two rounds, leaves a far more steady Green with the win.
Verdict: Bedaffi Green (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Bedaffi Green – “I seen that shit versus Emerson, even your man’s was losing hope, I ain’t seen somebody choke on Kennedy that hard since Marilyn Monroe!”
Recap: Now we’re pulling out snakes for props?!? I don’t know. Might’ve worked better if Bedaffi Green had applied a couple of bars to it, instead of waiting till the end of his turn to pull it out. Still, that was one big-ass snake and while this sizzling 1-rounder had Snake Eyez rapping nearly twice as long as his equally aggressive and fiery opponent, a slightly more consistent Snake, with a plethora of hardbody punches, hitting personals, stinging set-ups, fire schemes and stifling gun bars, gets his hand raised for what was an elongated, but impressive 1st time appearance on We Go Hard.
Verdict: Snake Eyez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Snake Eyez – “What you gonna talk about, how my eye wander nigger?, well that shit ain’t gonna save you from this loss, and at the same time it let’s you know I’m good in these streets, ‘cuz I could look both ways, so don’t cross!”
Recap: Gates of the Garden co-owner C Low has been putting in work as a battler for a minute now. And through the use of feisty punchlines, a consistent flow, fiery (“So pay attention, I learned a head shot can get you more views than main venting!”) gun bars and real street jargon, Low almost always offers a solid performance such as this one against a punch-heavy and vigorous Beddafi Green, where in addition to the aforementioned arsenal, Low displays some witty personals to come back and force a tie in the deciding 3rd round after the two split the first two.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Beddafi Green – “This is what you get when you call me out, you ain’t know that I walk around with rounds that could take a whole army out, or I’ll put a hawker out, mark your whole body down, zig zag across your body, now you Charlie Brown!”
Recap: In what was a spitfire We Go Hard battle, a slightly more versatile, punch/wordplay-heavy and confidently rebuttal spitting Bedaffi Green does just enough to earn a tie with Franchise. And trust that Green needed to unload the whole kitchen sink what with two epic name flip stinging, scintillating (“Pistol whip Bedaffi, have Green leaking down your screen, that’s the goosebumps!”) gun bar shining and haymaker-drenched rounds from his performance-heavy, Canadian opponent who seemingly had this one in the bag going into the bottom of the 3rd after the two battlers split the first two rounds. But Bedaffi wasn’t having any of it, getting his Chef Trez on with ‘3 of them things’ to start off his turn, before delivering just enough fierce punches along with some aggressive and potent heaters to make this one a draw.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Bedaffi Green – “If he panic, Steve Francis, the Heat play Franchise gonna look fucked up!”
Recap: Intense, spitfire and competitive battle between a more condensed, gun-bar (“Drums on gun, look like I’m holding Mickey Mouse upside down!”; “So play it cool, it’s fucking nice, ‘cuz if I send a nigger to shoot, it’s nuthin’ nice, all you hear is a voice say ‘Hey Zeus!’ [Bwoh!] now you in front of Christ!”) savvy and punchline-heavy Bedaffi Green and a thought-provoking, (“I don’t have to body you, you loser, I just show half the body like Hooters!”) gritty, poverty-talking and bodacious Zeus Da God is littered with haymakers throughout, from both sides, thus making it no surprise that it’d come down to the 3rd to see who wins. And while you get a pretty solid turn from both sides, a little too much filler from the more expatiated, storytelling and impassioned Zeus along with an aggressive, loaded wordplay/punch dishing, condensed and (“She looked me in my face and acknowledged that, no joking, no slogan, she knew it was real because my eyes said that, I said that!”) vigorous Bedaffi earns Green the win.
Verdict: Bedaffi Green (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Zeus Da God – “Grandma was ting to get me off the couch to go to work, but she ain’t know my work was under the couch!”
Recap: In yet another dope battle from We Go Hard, Jerry Wess stands out, mired in more versatility (“I’ll show you some gruesome shit, shotgun, baby mama drama, it’ll put you through some shit!”; “I can tell your shorty was going by the river, I was beating it by the lake, I ain’t hitting her wow, now I’m back at it like she deleted me by mistake!”) bar-wise than his braggadocio/gun line drenched opponent Bedaffi Green. With a steady mix of sturdy name flips, some jaunty wordplay and round two….haymakers galore, despite a (“If Green bug bug out, light up, then he’ll let the fire fly!”) rim-rocking turn by Green in the second round, Wess still manages to turn it up even more, take the first couple of rounds before getting edged in the 3rd thanks to a slightly more multi-facated turn by Green.
Verdict: Jerry Wess (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Jerry Wess – “Your chances of winning, vague description, you won’t be able to make it out!”
Recap: A fire one-rounder between Bedaffi Green and Lexx Luthor has them both flexing their mettle. With Luthor spitting jovial personals along with a plethora of witty and hefty (“You wanna use science, fair, after your battle with Glu, stick to the projects!”) one-liners and Green, at his boastful (“Fuck a penny for your thoughts [click, click] you’ll get a nickel for your action!”) best, dishing multi-faceted shiners with steady aggression. Yet, as hard as it is to knock anything here, it’s Green, with slightly more consistent heaters and less dry spots, that earns the win here.
Verdict: Bedaffi Green (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Bedaffi Green – “I’m ready to make a movie the moment you act foolish, casting for it, retarded clip, nigga I want you to act stupid!”
Recap: A hot start that featured some aggressive shiners along with a sputtering Mr. Mills gives (“You only cereal [serial] killing at breakfast, you not a General Mills!”) Bedaffi Green round 1 in this matchup from CGBL County Ground Battle League. Yet proven able to the task, Mills uses a nice rebuttal game and steely (“….he come off the top rhyming, soon as they put him in hot water, stick a fork in him!”) punchlines/schemes to easily take round 2 over a filler-prone turn from his opponent. Split going into the final round with the battle on the line, neither battler really stepped it up too much bar-wise. Yet, a fiery freestyle and more steadier punches from Mr. Mills, edged him one for the win column.
Verdict: Mr. Mills (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Mr. Mills – “If you ain’t think I got shooters…well godammit that nigga stay masked up like that nigga behind you!”
Recap: Fire battle between (“See, tonight you came out to try for for Smack White, but white came to smack you back!”) Glueazy and (“Smack gave him that shot, he about to shit on it, think Rich Homie, that’ll tribute to you on stage, fucking up a BIG moment!”) Bedaffi Green definitively comes to the 2nd round, as an equally solid turn by both parties warrants going either way in rounds 1 and 3. However, it’s the mid-round that saw Glu, in particular stand out, dropping a steady barrage of (“I’ll put a blanket on Green, like I’m picnic in the park!”; “The hammer squeeze, it’s anti-freeze, I’ll pop ya top and have green pouring out!”) haymakers that easily thwarted an pretty solid, but not-nearly-as-nice round from Mr. Green, who altogether despite losing this one, still displayed enough variety with the bars, performance (“The machine got a mind of its own, my sub conscious!”) creed and entertainment value to earn another shot at making the URL roster.
Verdict: Glueazy (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Glueazy – “Second battle back on Smack, I’m a kill something, with these guns I’ll black boy, now watch a cracker raise two of ’em…I’m Phil Drummond!”
Recap: Bedaffi Green hits with more than enough punches/name flips in the first two rounds to take this battle from a mostly staid Zig Zag. But what impresses most is Green’s ability to ably get through a 3rd round, he claimed didn’t write for, without any slip-ups, much less a choke.
Verdict: Bedaffi Green (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Bedaffi Green – “My rap fashion sound like the Future, my flow Designer [Desiigner] like that!”
Recap: Sizzling Proving Grounds battle between Bedaffi Green and Profecy comes down to the 3rd round after Green handily takes the first with killer, aggressive (“Put him down, I won’t blast or steal, this bitch will drop from the Roc, get it? that’s Amil!”; “For any wrong reason, I’m palm-reading, meaning I’m gonna see Profecy [prophecy] in the hands!”; “It’s sick one’s ’round here, these peoples seek terror, this West coast nigga ain’t come strapped up? that’s that Eazy-E era!”) gun bars that landed with ease. While Profecy edged the 2nd stepping up after a (“You get a bright idea, I’m putting tips to ya head, and ya frame on top of the casket, that’s for any body who can’t picture him dead!”) crazy at times, but somewhat slow start with rambunctious (“This stage is my house, you better choose ya words wisely, or I’ll go get the ratchet from out the room, I’m Ron Isley!”; “I hope you got yaself a gun, nah that was Ns tho, what I rep gp hard, we’ll bury Green by the mil like Pablo, that’s an Esco bar!”) haymakers that overstepped another very (“When it’s time to rhyme it’s homicide, I’m getting all these niggas clipped on cam…we shooting Amistad!”) solid round from Green. Left to the last round things, it’s Profecy who does a better job at staying on point, dropping melodramatic (“I’ll turn Bedaffi Green into Profecy, that’s a dred head into a red head and he gonna have as many dots as me!”) shiners and excellent wordplay to top another fiery, but filler-prone turn by Mr. Green.
Verdict: Profecy (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Profecy – “See every bar over the top, but I rhyme slow so it sound basic…you just hating and I’m Haiti 2010, that’s groundbreaking!”
Recap: An otherwise solid battle between Xcel and Bedaffi Green sees its biggest action occur when it gets interrupted midway by whom one can only guess was the venue’s owner. Still, after dominating the first round with wicked wordplay and hard (“This is battle, you said won’t be close?, bro you reaching, I’m Adobo with the sazon, I’m too seasoned!”) punchlines and barely losing the 2nd thanks to Bedaffi’s more resilient (“Don’t question or try to reason if it’s hot, just do the math and stop speaking in the spot, whatever X ask is Y I point and leave him in a plot!”; “The AR piece longer than a RBE intro!”) heat, Xcel delivers a cleaner, scheme heavy and more (“Mercy for you, I know this must be sad to see, tragedy, I hate it was him that you had to be, but you praised this bull and gave this golden calf to me, so the God must show I don’t tolerate the blasphemy!”) penetrating 3rd to take this one in the end.
Verdict: Xcel (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Xcel – “I’m on to you and if you disregard my rules, I’ll give your bull [bill] a right for this shit that you constitute!”
Recap: We’ve seen a better (“I know your name Christopher and you supposed to be the wildest in ya city dog, but every fat rapper with a lisp and lazy eye ain’t Biggie Smalls!”) Bedaffi Green and a better Hazey Williams. But despite a sometimes indistinguishable flow, it’s Hazey wild assortment of rich (“You be like Roddy Piper died, I be like ‘So?’…niggas still getting killed in the ring!”) punchlines and nice name flips that gets him the dub in the end.
Verdict: Hazey Williams (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Hazey Williams – “…and face a sentence over your head, are y’all feeling my meme?!”
Recap: Dishing mostly fierce braggadocio lines, jaunty wordplay and fiery gun bars, (“See, this why I don’t scheme, I rather give you all this info upfront like a lobby booth!”; “In battle rap it’s a million finger guns and niggas faking straps, but this, this a textbook example of a nigga with a hard cover, but he paperback!”) Beddafi Green and (“When they tell you I’m the truth, it’s all facts, no deceptions slick, and I do numbers with that white girl and the flow [Flo], now that’s Progressive bitch!”; “I show up and Black on competition like away game jersey’s!”) Gutta both do little to separate themselves during the first couple of rounds here in this matchup on Trap House NY. Then the 3rd round came, and tho Gutta still managed to deliver a solid (“I’ll let the first kick in here sleep, then take this jerk chicken in the street..but shit, that’s just a typical Labor Day in Brooklyn”) turn, Bedaffi’s added mix of hitting personals and harder (“When the block hot, his heart drop, Gutta be exposed like a big bitch in a crop top!”) punchlines gets him the win.
Verdict: Bedaffi Green (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Bedaffi Green – “This why I hate speaking to clowns, no daps, but I peeped you when I see you around!”
Recap: A super aggressive Bedaffi Green dishes out some (“I don’t care for these suckers, I want to kill all these niggas like Aryan brothers!”; “Killing any tier, blackened on the top and bottom, this widescreen!”) hot bars and nice punches in this one-rounder against Danja Zone brought to you from Trap House NY, But a little too much filler/nonsensical (‘the bird will come out first…’) bars along with some pedestrian bars mixed in from the Long Island emcee altogether add up to a loss when matched besides Danja Zone’s consistently fiery wordplay and righteous (“Green, it’s too late to come back homes’, you need a ne curfew…all I see ’round him is fear, you need a new circle!”) punches/name flips.
Verdict: Danja Zone (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Danja Zone – “To future up-comers with punches, do not mix with danger [Danja]…I preserve bodies for the future off freeze alone like cryogenic chambers!”
Recap: A consistently aggressive and sometimes (“…before your whip turn, I’ll let you talk to teh Smoke from ya car, Big Worm!”) potent Bedaffi Green not only does a bad impression of his opponent, but spits a too-short 2nd round and altogether too many basic bars to stand any chance against Brooklyn Carter, who besides the rare (“Fuck Mr. Bean, I’ll pull up, say nothing, the clip spit liek Silent Bob!”) mid-round rebuttal, uses a plethora of fiery name flips, fierce wordplay/schemes, nice double entendre’s and hard-hitting (“A headshot, I let a couple ring together, that’s wedlock!”) punches to land the 3-0.
Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Brooklyn Carter – “Released another clip and knocked off his dreadlocks, I left the crime scene so ugly…what happened bro?, niggas thought O-Red died!”
Recap: Equipped with audacious name flips, salacious gun bars and witty (“This here, is Anton, that’s it…Mercy found him playing handball!”) barbs, after edging a tight first round, Bedaffi Green goes on to steal all the highlights in this 3-rounder versus A-Ssassin, who after starting off (“I guess it’s safe to say Orange is the New Black, there’s a lot of bitches acting behind bars!”) hot, goes on a downward spiral that ends up with him quitting on his stool.
Verdict: Bedaffi Green (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Bedaffi Green – “Y’all gonna see this cat lying, when that deuce ready to throw for A…Matt Ryan, I’ll flat line him, and if I hear talk, it’s Angry Fan at the airport, y’all gonna see Caps flying!”
Recap: The unorthodox verbiage of Barrz McVay hits with some witty shiners here and there, but overall, a mostly average palette holds little ground against Bedaffi Green’s more intricate punches, stinging name flips and gritty wordplay.
Verdict: Bedaffi Green (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Bedaffi Green – “Act hard and get choked before you start your car, feet dragging, it look like Smokey trying to park the car!”
Recap: Nice 1-rounder between Stash (Queens, NY) and Bedaffi Green on TrapHouse NY sees the former get off to a slow start before delivering Jew-laced mayhem backed by some fierce punchlines. But it’s a confident and more consistent Bedaffi who steals the show and gains the win with his own aggressive mix of spicy braggadocio lines, witty barbs and fiery punches.
Verdict: Bedaffi Green (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Bedaffi Green – “Nigga’s know I don’t play, it’s that fat nigga from Gym class!”
