Recap: Even tho he had to settle for a tie here, during his turn from this 1-round battle from HomegrownBGCT, conscious rapper Mass Messiah certainly got his point across impressing with a fleet of social commentary, revolutionary references, political messaging and some fiery (“You just knew I was Mass Messiah, probably thought of a lot of name flips, a white messiah been suppressing the races!”) wordplay/punchlines…all with nary a fat joke against an opponent, Big Kannon, who’s used to being on the other end of them. Still, Kannon didn’t come to play either. The Chicago spitter combating Messiah’s steady wisdom with a stable mix of fiery name flips/wordplay, stinging personals, righteous mayhem and a spicy rebuttal and freestyle to make this bout a draw.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Big Kannon – “I mean something’s up, you get Mass Messiah put your dome on straight, you body Mass it won’t matetr because it holds no weight!”
