O’fficial defeats Ms. Fit

Recap: Steeped in hardbody punchline after punchline, fiery with the schemes/wordplay/name flips, witty and off-putting (esp. when getting some revenge for Phara Funeral, who Ms. Fit 3-0’d in her last battle) with the personals and loaded a gang of festive gun bars, O’fficial ruins Ms. Fit’s 1st appearance on the URL stage with two over-the-top and haymaker-drenched turns in the opening rounds before Fit–who was pretty solid throughout minus some pedestrian bars here and there–easily took the 3rd round with a steadier, flexing, punchline-crazy and witty turn of her own.

Verdict: O’fficial (W) 2-1

Favorite line: O’fficial – “Let me find out Brooklyn the new Harlem, let me find out this heffa snitching, I’ll teach her gram a [grammar] lesson, since they like to correct they mistakes for a better sentence!”

Ms. Fit defeats Phara Funeral

Recap: Controversial battle between the returning-to-the-ring-after-a-4-year-hiatus Ms. Fit and Phara Funeral features 2 spirited and competitive rounds (I had a debatable 1st before Ms. Fit edged the 2nd) that were highlighted by a wide load of fiery personals and piercing punches from Fit, while the bar-heavier Funeral stayed lit with some dope wordplay, gritty punches and hitting name flips. In lieu of an unsportsmanlike conduct that should’ve been called on Fit for distracting her opponent and throwing money down on the floor while she rapped in round 1, round 3 is where things got hectic and tensions started to appear above the surface as a consistently aggressive Fit used the final turn to deliver one of the most well-crafted, personal, witty at times and scathing turns we’ve seen from a female in battle rap (making it a classic) history. But with the mention of Phara’s mother (although there really wasn’t any direct shots taken) in a handful of her bars, Phara would allege afterwards that her opponenet broke a stipulation in the battle contract, leading to Ms. Funeral choosing not to spit her 3rd round and therefore handing Fit the win.

Verdict: Ms. Fit (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ms. Fit – “All the nigga’s you done smashed [Aaawww!], can’t even keep track of your bodies…till we read the Smack card!”

Bonnie Godiva defeats Ms. Fit

Recap: Mostly lackluster battle between Ms. Fit and Bonnie Godiva stayed close thanks in part to Fit surprisingly not being at her funniest overall and Bonnie leaning on too many lyrical darts (which led to a lot of dry spots) instead of angles that were hitting (like when she went personal). Either way, a close one with a more condensed Bonnie taking the first while the punch-heavier Fit took the 3rd. The deciding 2nd round was also tight with an equal amount of haymakers from both battlers, however Bonnie’s ability to start off her turn with a couple of dope freestyle’s (one of which was a rebuttal) gave her the edge and the win.

Verdict: Bonnie Godiva (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Bonnie Godiva – “Your Papi wasn’t around huh?, that’s terribly sad, another gender-confused alien looking for an American Dad!”

Ms. Hustle defeats Ms. Fit

Recap: Ms. Fit got jokes (“The last time you seen a hammer bang….was Judge Brown”), delivery and stage presence, but what was missing here enough hard-hitting bars as well as wordplay. Plus too and her rounds were interrupted by too many long pauses. On the other hand Ms. Hustle stayed strong and consistent throughout, spitting loads of hot (“My dogs hungry turn them nigga’s into child’s food, tell ya bitch ‘fuck her’ she could try to wild too, that’ll get your chicken chopped in the street like halal food”) bars, personals, fresh angels (not spitting a single bar about Cortez, which most opponents do against Ms. Fit was impressive) along with a nice performance to take this one.

Verdict: Ms. Hustle (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “We all know you got ADD bitch, you don’t keep steel [still]”

E-Hart defeats Ms. Fit

Recap: Ms. Fit and E-Hart go toe-for-toe in a highly entertaining batting on the Queen of the Ring stage. Probably the closest Hart has come to losing at this point, as despite some filler here and there Ms. Fit’s witty (“And what’s the ‘E’ stand for anyway, Eric? Elgin? Elvis? Edwin? [points at Hart and smiles]…Edmund?”) performance bars and jaunty (“See, I grew up in a home you get your shit pushed front if you ain’t fight back, so while your granny was screaming ‘Get in the crib before shit get worse’, my daddy was screaming ‘You better hit that bitch first!'”) angles equaled Hart’s caustic “(Ms. Fit did this…man stop fronting, when it comes to heat play, she’s Tre’ like ‘let me out I’m not coming'”) wordplay and sharp (“You expect me to believe that you be letting your Tek blow, when you aspire to be a nigga named Ernesto?”) one-liners in rounds 1 and 3. So it’s the second round that made the difference here as Hart stayed with an aggressive flow that combined with dope braggadocio (“You got a little bit of heart, but it’s Micro soft, if we heard you moving that Game boy we in your pockets like a Dx, P.S. it ain’t a Game Boy!”) bars that consistently scored and outperformed a shorter round by Ms. Fit that was doubly hit and miss.

Verdict: E-Hart (W) 2-1

Favorite line: E-Hart – “I don’t respect you for one reason, you send your bitch to get the pads when you be the one bleeding!”)

Ms. Fit defeats Imah X

Recap: Snapping on her opponent with rich combo of scathing personals, witty barbs and raucous name flips/punchlines, even with a solid effort from a bar-heavy Imah X, in this 3-rounder from Grind Time, Ms. Fit’s versatile, hardbody rhymes are stacked with too much bite for her opponent to have had a chance.

Verdict: Ms. Fit (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Ms. Fit – “You faker than my dick and Lil Kim’s entire face!”

Ms. Fit defeats Fendi (IN)

Recap: Grind Time Now East-coast battle between Ms. Fit and Fendi goes Fit’s way as despite Fendi showing off a flexible flwo and hitting with some spicy bars here and there, Fit’s raw ability to pounce on her opponent with piercing punchlines, witty personals and a couple of mocking freestyles proved to be too much for 3 rounds in the end.

Verdict: Ms. Fit (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Ms. Fit – “You work at iHop, yeah I know you work at iHop, waiting for a tip giver, so you don’t pop guns and blam .8’s when you asking nigga’s what they want on they pancakes!”

Dutchess defeats Ms. Fit

Recap: After getting off to a strong start in the 1st round here in this 3-rounder from Queen of the Ring against Dutchess, the always gritty, lit with the personals and usually consistent Ms. Fit surprisingly succumbs to a 2nd round choke before losing the 3rd round (and the battle) to a more mayhem-drenched and punch-heavy opponent.

Verdict: Dutchess (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Dutchess – “And y’all nigga’s is bugging if you think she did her thing, her manly ass was supposed to battle at King of the Ring!”

QB (Black Diamond) defeats Ms. Fit

Recap: Would love to see these two go at it today as Ms. Fit has improved so much since this battle. But still, besides a close middle round, QB clearly took rounds 1 and 3 to take this.

Verdict: QB (W) 2-1

Favorite line: QB – “You talking about my teeth, but your shits look like you’ve been chewing on cable boxes”
