Mark Miner defeats Tez

by

Recap: Nice battle between Mark Miner and Tez. Close throughout with Miner spitting a dope 1st round (“Wash who you push up on, before we do our homework, find his home, rush in the door liek we late for work, toolies squirt, gotta blaze his top, casual shirt, when I address a nigga it’s always business first”)to take the early lead, while Tez straight (“I be cool, then I throw angry punches, that’s a mood swing”) spazzed in the 3rd to easily take that round. Thought it came down to the second with Miner edging it with better personals (“You a comedian, we battle rapping, which makes you Chocolate Drop, you be out here on some joking shit”), delivery and wordplay.

Verdict: mark Miner (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Mark Miner – “You still got time to chill because you got depressing battles”

Danny Myers defeats Mark Miner

by

Recap: The only battle rapper who’ll never need a hype man, if you wanna understand Danny Myers struggle (“Danny boy ain’t trying to have a career like Danny Boy“) and where the hell all that energy comes from this is the battle to watch. I mean 10 kids!!! Has he ever heard of something called a vasectomy? Regardless, Myers steals the show here from an earnest, but just alright Mark Miner, taking him to town with haymakers, consistent aggression, a nice Death Row scheme and flat-out (“FBI will be looking for a minor [Miner] like an Amber Alert”) bars. Yikes, indeed.

Verdict: Danny Myers (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Danny Myers – “It’s like I took a bible up to the 2nd floor the way I come up with verses”

M. Ciddy defeats Mark Miner

by

Recap: M. Ciddy has never minded going first, attempting to get ahead early with his aggressive wordplay and stay there. Here he does exactly that, using “adversary rhymes” and nice punchlines to shake down Mark Miner and practically never letting up. Miner makes it close with rapid name flips, jokes and gutter (“I’ll slice you across your beer belly and give you a red stripe”) bars. But Ciddy’s 3rd, from reminding attendees of his mark in the game to delivering fiery personals to spitting witty metaphors, edges him a win here.

Verdict: M. Ciddy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: M. Ciddy – “You get numbers from nobody, you Mike in The Wood”
