No Bias. No Narratives.
Recap: Even a solid and entertaining E-Ness can’t keep up with a punch-heavy and metaphor/wordplay-flexing Lexx Luthor, who when he isn’t trying too hard to be the funniest guy in the room, can punch with the best of them as he displays here for 3 rounds to earn the 30.
Verdict: Lexx Luthor (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Lexx Luthor – “You some battle rap legend and they only paid you a grand, its been 20 years since MTV Eliott, how you still Making a Band?!”
Recap: ZigZag’s frenetic (“Give him that rip, and then snatch his drive, I’ll Repo Lexx!”) shots at mayhem wreck havoc at times, but in the long run can’t keep up with Lexx Luthor’s witty (“Listen, travel-size Jadakiss!”) personals, unique wordplay stylings and astute Pokeman shiners in this PG matchup from Smack..
Verdict: Lexx Luthor (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Lexx Luthor – “Y’all seen Small Soldiers?, I’m about action, figures I’d be punching out the box!”
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: Fire rounds displayed from both sides in this one-rounder from WeGoHard between King Moneyy and Lexx Luthor. The former dishing grimy neighborhood tales along with stinging (“I don’t play fair, I just copped the baby ratchet out of daycare!”) punches that hit hard, while the latter scored with rapid punchlines, fire schemes and witty (“Retarded bitch in a bikini, the two-piece dumb!”) barbs throughout his turn. Definitely a close, but the edge here goes to Lexx for more versatile lines and a slightly more consistent flow.
Verdict: Lexx Luthor (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Lexx Luthor – “It’s like saying ‘thanks’ with a lisp, I’m nice when I’m spitting!”
Recap: The comedic stylings of Lexx Luthor are strong at times, but too often run into dry spots, leaving MarvWon’s barrage of witty quips, benevolent punchlines and jaunty braggadocio bars with enough spark to overcome a couple of reaches and still get a 3-0.
Verdict: MarvWon (W) 3-0
Favorite line: MarvWon – “Insecure stripper, nigga you dying to get your ass shot!”
Recap: In this 3-rounder from KOTD, a more direct, (“Yeah, they walk tough, but when I glove up, you see they stretch change, they know when this Alchemist app is all fire, I’m Roy Mustang!”) punch-heavy and bullish Anubis takes this bout from a (“Keep thinking shit sweet and we could square up Now or Later!”) solid overall, but too inconsistent Lexx Luthor.
Verdict: Anubis (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Anubis – “I notice that you yell ‘Team Homi!’ before every battle, I just got one question…are they aware of that?”
Recap: A more consistent with the punches/schemes (“The light at the end of this [clicks finger like a gun] round is not tunnel vision!”) Bangz takes down a nice at times, but too sporadic (“You fell in love with your baby mother, I just get the brains in her mouth, you a stain on her life, I’m a stain on her blouse!”) Lexx Luthor in this dope one-rounder from Shock Value RBL.
Verdict: Bangz (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Bangz – “Y’all may not get what I say like when Shaq reading!”
Recap: In what was a pretty substandard battle all around, littered with too many pedestrian bars, Lexx Luthor’s strength in ample wit eeeks out a win over Jimz’s brawny punchlines, especially in a deciding 3rd that saw a more condensed Lexx display more consistency.
Verdict: Lexx Luthor (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Lexx Luthor – “You said I don’t really battle in the hood, today, see I ain’t really at’cha…guess someone don’t know that I’m 2-0 in Africa!”
Recap: Versatile and landing hard throughout with the fiery personals, rapid punchlines and gritty schemes, Cityy Towers gets the win by taking the 1st and 3rd round here over an aggressive and /scheme/punch-steady, but inconsistent Lexx Luthor.
Verdict: Cityy Towers (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Cityy Towers – “I’ll hit him with that ‘k’, just to show him I don’t text back!”
Recap: Bullshit verdict by the KOTD judges as somehow Yung Casper’s rapid, scream-rap style, while pedestrian at almost every turn gets him a split-decision over a clearly more comedic, potent bar-wise and consistently spicier Lexx Luthor.
Verdict: Lexx Luthor (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Lexx Luthor – “You ain’t swinging on nothing, you ain’t even hit puberty!”
