No Bias. No Narratives.
Recap: Even with a slip-up as well as facing off against a gritty, solid and condensed showing from E City, Ru Bando’s wide array of potent name flips, piercing punchlines and head-ringing gun bars combine for the win in this 1-rounder from iBattleTV.
Verdict: Ru Bando (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Ru Bando – “I’ll pound the 5th like [smacks hand] ‘Little nigga, stop touching shit!'”
Recap: E City puts on a strong performance, especially in a witty 3rd round that was well executed with some hard-hitting personals and potent (“It ain’t packing a fresh box in my palm, how I’m used to having to smack a square!”) bars. But a more overall consistent J Murda, matching his storied aggression with assorted (“You punk Gringo, it’s about to get cold ice for the snow white, I’ll pistol whip him, if he get up, off ya ass like lowlifes!”) mayhem, in-ya-face gun bars, some spicy wordplay and righteous name flips, does enough to take rounds 1 and 2 and bring a win back to Brooklyn.
Verdict: J. Murda (W) 2-1
Favorite line: J. Murda – “I let it ring, I bet City haul [hall], yeah 718, but it’s gonna be 187 when City call!”
Recap: Yet another 1-round matchup that deserved 3 instead, sees E-City put on a quality, competitive show with repeated (“You staying under Top [T-Top], like Snapple Facts!”) punches that mostly hit their mark against a performance, rich Brizz Rawsteen who when he wasn’t dishing sanguine mayhem, stayed on point with feelgood (“White boy from Boston, this ain’t for real, he got that Ben Affleck, Matt Damon feel!”) personals, soul-lifting name flips and stifling wordplay/set-ups.
Verdict: Brizz Rawsteen (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Brizz Rawsteen – “Fuck all ya scheming rap, all that scheming crap, long nose, 3-5-7, I could scheme with that!”
Recap: Newcomer E-City makes a name for himself with some nice name (“You wanna be a star, but you’ll never be a celebrity Show!”) flips and hard (“For you to Access Hollywood, you gotta blow like TNT, but I’m embarrassing you on cam, like TMZ!”) punches that landed well in this one-rounder against the favored Show Off. But too many average bars and lackluster setups from the Massacre Battle Association emcee couldn’t hold their weight when faced against Show’s aggressive performance bars, dope (“You a walking contradiction, like a white Latin King!”) lines/schemes and fiery wordplay.
Verdict: Show Off (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Show Off – “You talked all that you was gonna beat me shit…knock it off, my bars got your bitch on my dick, she will knock it off!”
