Bill Collector defeats Zay Smoove

by

Recap: Maybe one day somebody will be kind enough to come up with a percentage on how many times ‘Hitman’s little brother!’ ShowOut was mentioned in a Bill Collector battle since their incident some years back. That said, in this 1-rounder from GOTG, a BC equipped with a gang of raucous gun bars, fiery/witty personals and consistently gritty punchlines makes easy work of an aggressive, but overall much less substantive Zay Smoove.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “See, I’m just rolling pass the bases I’m a ground ball, all them people riding with you?, that’s a clown car!”

3SK defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: From Premier Rap Battle League, an entertaining, versatile and often set-up/punch-heavy 1-rounder between 3SK and Bill Collector stayed close till BC (who might’ve been on his way to a win) started to recycle a bunch of bars towards the end of his round, in turn assisting the more original and steadily hitting 3SK to gain the win.

Verdict: 3SK (W) 1-0

Favorite line: 3SK – “See, me and Deast, gave this league a classic when we battled each other, so Premier said they always got a plate for me like an Italian mother!”

Bill Collector defeats Lootchi

by

Recap: From We Go Hard, a couple of dope impressions and a gang of righteous heat from Lootchi still wasn’t enough to beat back a versatile Bill Collector, who when he wasn’t dropping some fire freestyles, scored left and right with a plethora of winsome punchlines, witty barbs, stinging performance bars/set-ups and even some rigid wordplay to get the win in this fiery 1-rounder.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “I’ll catch you while you playing 2K, playoff shit, and start fucking up your game like I’m J.R. Smith!”

Bill Collector defeats Buttah From Da Block

by

Recap: Putting it all together with a gang of any hard-hitting/zany punchlines, barrels full of wit, stifling personals/gun bars, a bunch of fly name flips and of course, a crazy ‘Gun so big…’ line, Bill Collector manages to dial up enough haymakers to edge a pretty solid, entertaining and versatile effort from Buttah From Da Block in this 1-rounder from the Gates.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “I’ll rob you with a cap gun then beat you with a real one!”

Outlaw defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from We Are Upsate Battle League, a clearly unprepared Bill Collector freestyles and recycles bar after bar during his round, in turn handing out a pretty easy win for an aggressive and fiery-punching Outlaw.

Verdict: Outlaw (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Outlaw – “You a mark, I’ll draw on Bill like I’m trying to see if the bread fake!”

Q.P. defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: Fun battle between an expansive (“Beat you like your mom when you forgot to let the chicken frost!”) Bill Collector and the always crafty (“Tongue’s hanging out, we”ll have Jordan jumping at these foul lines!”) Q.P., stays close and competitive through the final round, which a more consistent hitting Q.P., what with able freestyles and steady punches edges for the win.

Verdict: Q.P. (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Q.P. – “Talking trash to the pigs, I’m actually GLAD you squealed!”

K. Walker defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: The Joey Jihad haymakers stamp it, but even before that K. Walker’s usage of gritty hometown anecdotes, witty punchlines and flexing personals/name flips was working aggressively to beat back a solid, but too many dry-spots-having turn by Bill Collector in this 1-round battle from The Battle Academy.

Verdict: K. Walker (W) 1-0

Favorite line: K. Walker – “I’ll step in the scene, let it swing, chopper style, It’s in my jeans to let it ring…pocket dial!”

Bill Collector defeats Rich E. Rich

by

Recap: Despite a solid showing from his (“I’m a wind up, waving, the sparks flying..blickity-bloppity-boo!”) flying, unorthodox opponent Rich E. Rich, Double Bar Bill (aka Bill Collector) uses random off-the-dome spiel’s, witty (“How ya name Rich E. Rich and you brokie broke!?”) one-liners and flexing performance bars to take this one-rounder from Gates of the Garden.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “When we first walk in here, they gonna clown, till the mask start dropping like the plane going down!”

Cold Play Wu defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: A bit shorter with the clip, but still more condensed, Cold Play Wu gets smoothly personal with it to take out a hyped, but a little too sporadic Bill Collector in this one-rounder from Traphouse Battle League.

Verdict: Cold Play Wu (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Cold Play Wu – “You claim you most hated, but dog, you gotta be relevant in Philly first to be hated at all!”

Bill Collector defeats Pap G

by

Recap: A competitive and gritty 1-rounder from Body Bag Battle league between Bill Collector and Pap G turns into an easy vic for BS after Pap dumps his more hard-hitting lines for one-too-many tag-ins and subpar jokes/personals, leaving an also witty and performance-punching/stunting BC with the win.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “I accidentally shot ya homeboy…7 times, when I seen who he was, I said ‘nevermind’!”

Mr. Wavy defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: Even with a dope performance from Mr. Wavy, this battle vs. Bill Collector is a laborious one. But I guess elongated rounds (esp. from Wavy) are to be expected when you’ve been on the shelf and sitting on bars for awhile. Either way, pitted against a boatload of random darts and sluggish bars from BC (who only things competitive in the 1st round), Wavy not only made it look easy but earned his paycheck with a barrage of fine-tuned gun lines, gritty punchlines, nice performance bars, ill dance moves and witty personals to score a 30.

Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Mr. Wavy – “This strap curb nicely, that’s behind the back!”

Bill Collector defeats Genocide

by

Recap: Steady with the fierce punchlines and potent (“Hit him with the shotty, blank email, you getting sent without a body!”) gun bars, Genocide is nice with his throughout this one-round battle with Bill Collector. However, the always animated Double Bar Bill is not only able to dish his own assortment of killjoy punches and rich gun lines, but a nice mix of hitting (“You smell like you drank all the water from out the cabin!”) personals too, thus edging this one in the end.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “You stutter to the pigs, I diddida diddida…that’s all folks!

Bill Collector and Bars The Animal [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: From Body Bag Battle League, a competitive 3-rounder here leads to a draw as a slightly more condensed Bill Collector’s action-laced punches and witty idioms/darts edges him round 2 (after he lost round 1) and earns him in a tie in the deciding 3rd against an often punch-heavy and lit with the gun bars/similes Bars The Animal in what altogether was a goodie.

Verdict: Tie

Favorite line: Bars The Animal – “Big Smif, tipping the stripper, Bill under the strap!”

Bill Collector defeats Rob Da Rippa

by

Recap: In a battle from BBA that was only a bit competitive because Bill Collector never seemed to take it seriously, a zany punching and effortlessly freestyling BC also mixes in some mocking personals during his trio of rounds to score an easy 30 over a subpar Rob Da Rippa.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “4-5th to ya bitch’s lips, that’s extra gloss!”

Dubb Da Feenom defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: While Dubb Da Feenom’s rigid wordplay and gritty punchlines were nice throughout, in what was a long anticipated matchup between two of PA’s finest, a perplexing decision by Bill Collector to not spit any gun bars (esp. seeing as BC’s usually good for at least a handful in his battles) during this bout along with yet another episode of BC coming off too indirect and inconsistent with his raps, helps give Dubb the 1st and 3rd rounds (had a condensed Bill edging round 2) here for the win in this 3-rounder from Traphouse Battle League.

Verdict: Dubb Da Feenom (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Dubb Da Feenom – “You Prince Naseem, you gotta dance to make your punches land!”

Docious defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: From Go-Rilla Warfare, with a steady barrage of aggressive mayhem, hard-hitting punchlines and gritty personals, Docious handily takes rounds 1 and 2 for the win over a mostly pedestrian Bill Collector become BC steps up his punch-game in round 3 to avoid the shutout.

Verdict: Docious (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Docious – “See, when it’s grind time, I tell my nigga’s grab them weapons, class in session, we all about that cash progression, bunch of nigga’s itching to ball like they crab infested!”

J Pro defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: If Bill Collector’s really trying to find a new home outside of Smack/URL, he’s going to have to stay focused and do way better than this. As an erratic and too-often subdued (for him anyway) performance makes way for a sometimes lowkey funny, but often times inconsistent showing from opponent J Pro, who still does enough to take the first two rounds over BC and hold on for the win.

Verdict: J Pro (W) 2-1

Favorite line: J Pro – “You don’t know who ya fucking with…sex on Tinder!”

Bill Collector defeats K Smoove

by

Recap: Legendary Battle League 1-rounder between a gun bar-heavy K Smoove and Bill Collector goes the Collector’s way as the PA vet’s consistently spicy punchlines score with just enough grit and variety to beat back a pretty solid and oft-piercing effort from Smoove.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “You lukewarm, I been scorching, this kid not touching the pen like informants!”

Cyssero defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: Round one turns out to be the difference maker in this entertaining matchup between Cyssero and Bill Collector. Prone to slip-ups in his most recent battles, Cyssero not only gets more pronounced and refined here, but along with dishing some nice animated bars, it’s the righteous (“Stop being Bill Collector, who’s a clown, and be Eric who’s more of a respectable nigga and you won’t have bitch-nigga problems, ‘cuz the real one’s will have more respect for ya nigga!”) ‘talking to’ that he puts on his opponent that edges him the opening round, despite a hot (“Battle rap Snapple fact, from the upper council, you Black Wallstreet and The Game don’t give a fact about you!”) turn from Bill. And Cys wasn’t done hyping the crowd there either as his second round, an elongated but steady stream of winsome punches and gritty (“So go head, play animal, I’ll bang it out and spark, he’ll go to sleep right after the shot…that’s a tranquilizer dart!”) gun bars that continuously landed, turned out to be Cyssero’s best round since his return to battle rap. With two straight rounds of consistent fire, by the time Bill (who pretty much took round two off) returned with repeated (“If you swing…[ducks down] wait a minute, if I swing…[points down] pavement!”) heat to take the latter round, it turned out to be a little too late.

Verdict: Cyssero (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Cyssero – “I’ll bless you with so many bullets in ya neck region, you’ll belch and drop ya head in ya chest, now ya breastfeeding…”

Progrest defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: Tho he could work on relaxing on the theatrics a bit while his opponent is rapping, with a sweet combo of syrupy ‘God bars’, piercing schemes, a stretched-out but magnetic flow that adds spices to his punches and some fierce punches/wordplay gets Progrest rounds 1 and 3 (call round 2 debatable) for the win in this 3-round Body Bag Battle League bout over a condensed, but topsy-turvy Bill Collector who despite the potent skill set, still needs to work on taking battles more seriously.

Verdict: Progrest (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Progrest – “I’m God, address the man, then cover the body…like iZod!”

E. Farrell defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: Bill Collector gets off to a superb start, using some nice (“We both play with the soda, [but] I use mine for pep see [Pepsi]? and make the coka colder [Coca-cola]”) wordplay, fresh schemes and rich (“Black Panther serious, let him know that I ain’t trying to play, so Bill tripping in half time, that goes beyond,  say! [Beyonce]!”) performance bars to edge round one against ever-entertaining (“The way that you collecting germs is a skill, you probably use pick-up lines like ‘Herpes and chill'”) UK emcee E Farrell. But despite delivering some shiners (“The judge think I’m old games, but it’s True Crimes”) here and there, a too short 2nd round and a 3rd round choke eventually do in Bill, while leaving Farrell more consistent personals (“…well, yunno the slogan Billy, you can’t copy neglect!”) that hit, jocular self-deprecating bars and witty punchlines with enough punch for the win.

Verdict: E. Farrell (W) 2-1

Favorite line: E. Farrell – “Bad bars, that’s fire trash like the rubbish was lit, colostomy bag, i’m the type to dump from the hip!”

N Pose defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: A solid punching, witty and gritty at times 3-rounder from Alpha League between N Pose and Bill Collector gets upended, after the two split the first coupel rounds, by Bill Collector (who was ahead at the time) surprisingly choking near the end of his 3rd round, thus handing N Pose the win.

Verdict: N Pose (W) 2-1

Favorite line: N Pose – “This shit is a massacre, I wanna use my chainsaw, no flip that, when I’m done your neck will be the least thing that chain saw!”

Bill Collector defeats Rolla

by

Recap: Rolla’s OG stylings are filled with such gritty street shit, swag and underlying wit that a battle against him feels worth it just for the lessons alone. Still, in this 1-rounder from Body Bag Battle League, while an elongated Rolla scored with a variety of hard-hitting punches and personals, one too many pedestrian bars from the Norfolk, VA battler and a much more condensed, punch/simile-lit and witty Bill Collector gets Double Bar Bill the win.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “Clip so big the gun shaped like Oklahoma!”

Ncredable defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: BOTZ Battles 3-rounder between a couple of witty, performance-lit battlers, Ncredable and Bill Collector, goes the former’s way as after the just-as-punchline-spicy, but slightly more condensed with the haymakers BC edged round 1, a 2nd round choke by Bill coupled with a personal-lit, flow-switching and versatile-punching turn by Ncredable would hand the Stockton, CA, spitter that round before a mostly pedestrian and a bit flow-challenged final round by BC would give way to a crowd-pleasing, performance-stunting and bar-heavy run by Ncredable which in turn would get him the win.

Verdict: NCredable (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ncredable – “Your life locked. you ain’t safe when I give you this combination, I’ll shoot you in your fucking mouth, spark up the conversation!”

Bill Collector defeats B. Magic

by

Recap: Two battle rappers with polarized styles, B Magic and Bill Collector, both from arguably URL/Smack’s best PG class get together for a 1-round match on Krack Liberty Battle League’s stage. Magic’s punchlines are, as usual (“Magic, know the name when its death near, metal open up this pussy, that’s a pas smear”; “I’m back snapping like I don’t fuck with the fitted hats!”)…insane with a flow/delivery that never strays from the ingenuity of the lines he spits. Bill on the other hand, goes back to his old outrageous self with perfunctory performance bars, witty (“Magic you in my house, Smack dropped us both, I guess we back in the tryouts!”) lines on the two’s collective battle history and some dope (“Ness, D.O.T., Jai, all my battles matter of fact, was classic Magic like a rabbit out the hat”) wordplay. A close one-rounder that easily should’ve been a 3-rounder, it’s Bill’s overall versatility and the alleged claim that Magic already used most of these bars (I looked and Magic’s raps are no longer available on Soundcloud) last year in a “Triumph Instrumental 40 Bar Challenge” vs Mickey Factz that gets Bill the win. Indeed, the fact that almost all of Magic’s bars were pretty generic does lend to the idea that he was lazy writing original for BB Gun Bill.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “I’m in a different class Magic, that’s Gryffindor!”

E Banga defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from Traphouse Battle League, a barrage of spicy street rhymes and gritty punchlines from E Banga work their way to deliver enough static to get past a solid, but overall less substantial and repetitive flowing Bill Collector.

Verdict: E Banga (W) 1-0

Favorite line: E Banga – “Don’t die ‘cuz of pride, this ya man talking to you, I’d rather it be me than them cans talking to you, ‘cuz them fake chains gonna make nigga’s mad when they rob you!”

Bill Collector defeats Vic Hustle

by

Recap: Yeah well, that was kind of weird. In a Colosseum Battle League 3-rounder that at times came off as a handicap match (what with Vic Hustle constantly tagging in his man’s throughout the battle) when there wasn’t frequent interruptions from the crowd (and the DJ) as well as Bill Collector strangely attempting to video tape himself during his final round, despite 3 gritty and solid turns by Hustle, BC’s more consistently lit punches, off-the-dome heat, spicy subliminals and spirited personals/wordplay allows hin to take rounds 1 and 3 (call the 2nd round debatable) for the win.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “Vic stocky with no neck, that’s Benzino shit!”

Bill Collector defeats A Class

by

Recap: Dope Halloween-themed 1-rounder hosted by Dizaster and Tony Montana featuring Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (aka Bill Collector) vs. Bruce Lee (aka A Class) gets edged (despite a fiery and punch-lit showing by A Class) by Bill via a gang of hilarious Asian jokes, some fire punchlines and a spirited performance that’d even make Kareem offer a high-five.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “You hate football ‘cuz you spent 7 hours making it!”

Geno defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: In this 1-rounder from Wilmington Battle Syndicate, an impressive performance by Geno whose consistently hard-hitting punchlines, righteous gun lines and gritty stylings connect for enough haymakers to beat back a solid, but overall not as blazing effort from Bill Collector.

Verdict: Geno (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Geno – “Powerful speaker, but soft-spoken, be careful how you walk up on us, we all holding, these nigga’s act like Brock Lesnar or Hulk Hogan?, but will damn near die for some pussy…Lamar Odom!”

Jai 400 Block defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: Assessing the notorious Hitman Holla situation his opponent Bill Collector had a couple of years back with righteous indignation, flexing punchlines and over-the-top hilarity in an almost flawless 1st round, before hanging on to edge the 2nd round with some stinging wordplay and a more concise punch game, Jai 400 Block survives three solid (and pretty lyrical at times) rounds from his humbled opponent to edge this competitive 3-rounder from RBE.

Verdict: Jai 400 Block (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jai 400 Block – “Shooter…that mean I’ll put the trey [3] on you like Bradley Bill [Beal]!”

D.O.T. defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: Bill Collector’s persistent steez on (“I’m at Liberty for Bell because I deal crack!”) bars over performance holds a lot of weight in round one here versus D.O.T., but falters a bit afterwards, thanks to some lazy rhymes and overall way too much pontificating. On the other hand, a comfortable (“Just stop, I’m really a street fighter, I’m no liar, just think Zhou Shen, maybe because I reach and spit fire!”) D.O.T. is a dangerous D.O.T., especially with the elasticity on his wordplay that occurred when he wasn’t spitting punches with the able renditions of say…a Hitman Holla or an old Bill Collector. It’s certainly a crowd-pleaser, but don’t let that take away from the fact that D.O.T. was just better here. Round 1 saw D.O.T. consistently hitting with more heated (“Blow the brain’s on ya body [what that mean?]…maybe you should think for yourself!”) punches and dramatic schemes, before a round 2 that while showing Bill dishing some random shiners here and there, again being outperformed and out-barred by a more steely and intrinsic (“True shit, my aim like my money nigga, I could count on it!”) opponent. 3rd round saw Bill step it up and get back in his grind, using frenetic performance (“I done fucked you up with like 67 different flows, dirty D.O.T., Roscoe, knocking with this nippy nose!”) bars and pointed personals to edge what was a solid, but elongated turn from D.O.T. Classic? Probably not. But yet another flexing of D.O.T.’s potency…even if he isn’t always rhyming.

Verdict: D.O.T. (W) 2-1

Favorite line: D.O.T. – “I ain’t got shit to lose, I told your bitch don’t get cracked from this Remy Ma bottle….or get hit with a long nose, it got a Papoose nostril!”

Jonny Storm defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: Some hard (JS: “One soft thrown punch will leave your jawbone crushed, you’ll go to sleep, wake and see your kids all grown up!”; BC: “‘Pop’, ‘Pop’ Jonny’ll stop drop and call cops, this off top and I put that on my bald spot”) bars and nice performance lines from both sides makes this matchup between Jonny Storm and Bill Collector a lot closer than you’d think after just one look. Still, it’s Jonny Storm’s versatility, more consistent flow and richer personals that gets him rounds one and three as well as the win.

Verdict: Jonny Storm (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jonny Storm – “Ever since this queer got tossed like a punk, he grew this big-ass beard like shit will soften the punch”

Zig Zag defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: In what was a close and gritty punchfest from both battlers, a cleaner-flowing and more consistently spicy Zig Zag gets the win over Bill Collector in this 1-rounder from Body Bag Battle League.

Verdict: Zig Zag (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Zig Zag – “Where the money Bill?, and I’m a need the answer soon, or you gonna see these animals on ya head…think Daniel Boone!”

Bill Collector defeats ZitroTheGreat

by

Recap: If not for a close first round a Bill Collector totally on his A-game would’ve caught a body here against a grade-E for effort, but nowhere near bar-heavy ZitroTheGreat. Sure, Zitro had a couple of pointed (“But I’m a league owner, so I’m tired of bending over backwards for rappers who only show up when they stats hurt”) moments, but too many exquisite gun bars, nice storytelling schemes, dope (“Success the sweetest flavor, I only wanted a taste, if God wanted us perfect, the pencil wouldn’t erase”) soliloquies and animated punchlines from BC put this one away quick after the opening round.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “That chopper spit a different language bitch, Pootie Tang!”

Bill Collector defeats Bright Fame

by



Recap: No need to get all technical here, so I’ll just quote AR-Ab on this one: “That shit was like a slaughter man, wasn’t even no competition”.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “I swear my sneaky bar attack is perfect, ‘cuz I just killed you dog but I’mm keep you around, I’m such a taxidermist!”

Bill Collector defeats Moses West

by

Recap: In what was an aggressive on both sides, but pretty underwhelming 3-rounder from KCBL & Barburians Battle Arena, Bill Collector uses doses of self-deprecating humor, some solid punchlines and personals and bouts of frequent mayhem to beat back a mostly pedestrian punching and personal-light Moses West, handily taking rounds 1 and 3 when he didn’t have a debatable 2nd.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “You ain’t really booty, just an ass shot!”

Bill Collector defeats E. Ness

by

Recap: Good to see Bill Collector back on the stage, a little less animated, but more consistent and still able to put on a quality show. Against fellow PA homie E. Ness, Bill stuck to a balance of familiar jokes on his opponent’s renowned rap history, some ill personals, righteous gun (“No cheap sneaks, this a math test with no cheat sheet, hot 12 will get you squared from one .44”) bars and even some nifty wordplay (“You still the same OL E”) that all delivered on the scorecard. A terrific first round by both battlers had the crowd hype. But in the case of Ness a little too hyped as while BC for the most part stayed true his character, while Ness had his (“Watch how my trigger finger do a thousand reps”) moments after round 1, he seemed to gas himself with some of his own more lukewarn bars (it’s arguable too that Ness used some mixtape verses in his round 3 since his crew seemed to know what was coming) while showing more concern for putting on an entertaining show in front of his hometown fans than actually out-rapping his opponent. First two rounds tied, Bill edged the 3rd with more variety along with enough performance bars to make the late, great Robin Harris proud.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 2-1

Favorite line: E. Ness – “I’ll send shots that’ll pass through Bill, cut his fucking lights out, that’s a past due Bill”

Big Kannon defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: Strictly freestyle battle between Bill Collector and Big Kannon definitely provides plenty of entertainment with BC making fun of Kannon’s eating habits and wardrobe, while the Chicago vet pounced on his opponent on a versatile mix of hitting personals, witty barbs, solid flips, boastful darts, piercing punchlines and crowd responses for the win.

Verdict: Big Kannon (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Big Kannon – “They hear my verse and say the nigga sound like a preacher, the shit’s so spiritual!”

Shotgun Suge defeats Bill Collector

by

 

Synopsis: Might as well toss out all the rules of battling when it comes to these two as the tension and history between them only made sense for Bill and Suge to nearly come to blows here. But then Suge’s first round was extra fierce and might’ve been a certified classic if Earl hadn’t paid him a visit. All the while Bill Collector seemed to be worried about performance than bars all throughout his 3 rounds, easily giving Shotgun the win.

Verdict: Shotgun Suge (W) 2-1

Best line:  Shotgun Suge – “You the type to get knocked out and blog about it like Joe Buddens”

Bill Collector defeats Driese

by

Recap: Quick 1-rounder featuring Pottstown, PA battler Driese against Norristown, PA battler Bill Collector is a rapid and gritty punchfest that the more consistently hard-hitting BC handily wins to take one home for his city.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “You don’t even be outside, you in the window, binoculars, nosy ass, neighborhood watch!”

Bill Collector defeats Tech-9

by

Synopsis: Tech-9 (who just looks like he doesn’t have the same hunger for battle rap as he used to) needs to come up with a better ending to his rounds than calling opponents “clown-ass dickheads”–for example, he could just yell “Time!” Besides that Bill Collector got this, putting on a better performance, mixed in with funny impressions, some nice bars/crowd pleasers (“….Bill Collector who you stabbed? Carlton Banks!”) and probably becoming the first battle rapper to spit his bars while sitting down. Now that’s historic.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “Baby mom the bomb, nominate her for best knees”

Bill Collector defeats QP (Qleen Paper)

by

Synopsis: Outside of an off 2nd round, Bill Collector literally wilds out and puts together one of his best performances to take a win from QP (Qleen Paper).

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “It’s gonna be a whole lot missing from your neck region, put your face in your chest now you breast feeding”

John John da Don defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: John John da Don versus Bill Collector on the Smack/URL stage equates to a lot of entertainment, a bunch of performance bars and a whole lot of filler in a battle that overall should’ve been a lot better. Indeed, in a first round that you could be forgiven if you thought it’d set the tone for the entire battle, both JJDD and Bill Collector got in their bag with some dope personals, crowd-pleasing antics, witty barbs and pointed name flips. However, after a literally dancing at times Bill Collector edged the round with more consistently stirring lines that matched his energetic flow, a competitive battle turned lackadaisical with Bill’s bars getting less and less potent, while a slightly more versatile and turned up with rapid punchline waving JJDD also relied on effective, but elementary imitations of his opponent as well as fellow rappers to get through the latter rounds. That’s why, all in all, it’s BC’s sudden loss of a nice pen game after round one, along with a fleeting comeuppance by JJDD that gets the latter the win here.

Verdict: John John da Don (W) 2-1

Favorite line: John John Da Don – “First hand, keep a cig, that’s gonna wet ya man, and while that’s smoking, you might die from the second hand!”

Bill Collector defeats M. Ciddy

by

Recap: If you want to be successful in battle rap charisma and personality not only count, but can make a difference between staying on small stages versus performing in the limelight that comes with the big stage. So course, if all you’re about is bars (and in this case metaphors), then M. Ciddy (“A bootleg how he stay leaking, with four 5’s all around your face you ain’t Abe Lincoln”) won this battle by a landslide, no debating. But thankfully, we live in an age where battle rap isn’t just about bars, but also delivery, execution, set-ups, rebuttals, creativity, jokes, angles, wordplay, punchlines and yes, performance. Which is why Bill Collector wins here, despite mostly average bars, but a stellar performance, delivery (“…but that mac I let it riiiiniiiigggg then hang up and call you back!”), aggression and execution to edge rounds 2 and 3 in this early PG battle.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 2-1

Favorite line: M. Ciddy – “I ain’t spelling under when I put you [U] in [N] the [D] ER”

Bill Collector defeats Young Greg

by

Recap: An aggressive Young Greg makes it (“This faggot nigga probably go crazy for a cock meat sandwich”) competitive here against Bill Collector until the 3rd round, where Greg’s freestyle game fails to impress, allowing BC to take advantage and win the decisive round with rich performance (“Don’t he look like the boy that always owe you something?”) bars and a Cabbage Patch remix that had the crowd in hysterics.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “My flow is elephant food, Billbert Einstein, I’m one intelligent dude!”

Bill Collector defeats Amazin D Boy

by

Overtime

Synopsis: Besides Hitman Holla is there a better performer than Bill Collector? In this highly intense (I swear Amazin D Boy was spazzing so hard you wouldn’t be blamed for worrying that he might pop a blood vessel mid-round) and entertaining battle, these two go toe-to-toe with BC styling on ADB’s aesthetics: “They got me battling one of the niggas from Pretty Ricky”; Amazin goes after BC’s Pennsylvania roots and personal dealings: “Take your girl around the world, show her tricks like a Globetrotter”. It’s all bananas and crowd pleasers throughout, but BC edged it with more consistently nicer bars and a stronger overall performance.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) OT

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “Sick of these noodles, get to your Google, ask Michael Vick what’s a pit to a poodle?”

Bill Collector defeats Bagguette

Recap: From Street Arena TV with a lot of rugged street rhymes and heated gun bars spouted from both sides, a more performance-lit, wordplay spicy and condensed Bill Collector takes rounds 2 and 3 for the win.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “I’ll let you eat for a little bit then the trouble up, pump gonna dump like the double guts and it got back like a double butt!”
