Charlie Clips defeats Mistah F.A.B.

Recap: Mistah F.A.B. does better this time. With really nowhere to go but up after a pretty disappointing effort against Arsonal, the Bay-area industry rapper’s 2nd appearance on the battle rap stage, here in a 1-rounder versus the renowned stylings of Charlie Clips, is for the most part pretty solid what with some heavy punches here and there mixed in with some nice schemes/personals. Still, way too many pedestrian bars from F.A.B. along with an opponent who pretty much stayed with his m.o. of fiery schemes, well-crafted lyrical heat, witty storylines and some hitting personals and freestyles delivered with plenty of moxie, makes for an easy win for Clips.

Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Charlie Clips – “Me and my nigga’s hiding out where ya sister be, I got a Hot 9 that go for nigga’s and bitches, for the record I let Mistah see [Mister C]!”

Arsonal defeats Mistah F.A.B.

Recap: “These rounds we going 6 minutes” says host Sway. How funny and ironic was that during a way-too-long battle between Arsonal and industry rapper Mistah F.A.B.? Arsonal, who managed to drop some disrespectful (“I call her Big Drawers Backpin, the bitch all action”) shiners here and there. was so caught up in his raps, he doesn’t realize just how much filler he spits. But even worse, nonwithstanding all his hometown bars and lackluster elementary rhymes. speech-rap, fast-rap, impressions in addition to Batman drawers, you not know it’s really bad when F.A.B.’s crew can’t even get hype to his bars, much less when he calls Arsonal a ‘fake-ass Wale’ and acts like he spit something dope. Indeed, for all the battle rap fans who complain about industry rappers trying to infiltrate the battle world, besides the God-awful Canibus vs. Dizaster match, this is the second best way to make their case.

Verdict: Arsonal (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Arsonal – “Now I ain’t gonna compare you to the mainstream ‘cuz underground is where Fabby is, he just ain’t as underground as his mama and his daddy is”
