Ms. Hustle defeats Chess

by

Recap: From URL’s Smack Vol. 11 card, continuing a long streak that’s made her one of the most dangerous opponent’s in the game, Ms. Hustle unleashes a world of havoc on Chess and never lets up. The EFB vixen absolutely stunting through 3 rounds with a variety of sublime gun bars, hard-hitting punchlines, salacious personals, boastful barbs, fiery name flips, spicy Chess slogan flips and righteous darts on Chess’ latest unforced errors that frankly speaking he probably needed to hear. As the Young Gawd, while able to display streams of gritty punches and personals (he even spouted a fly rebuttal in round 3) that kept him competitive, just couldn’t get out of his own way when it came to slip-ups throughout the battle.

Verdict: Ms. Hustle (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “I only roll with shooters, that’s in the door kicking, more clicking, you won’t it past this 4-5…dwarfism!”

Ms. Hustle defeats Arsonal

by

Recap: Credit to Ms. Hustle for pulling that vet move and essentially not allowing Arsonal much of a chance to remember his bars in round 1, after he surprisingly stopped short near the end of his turn. Because up to that point da Rebel was really cooking and that pretty much turned out to be the difference here. A URL ‘Homecoming 2’ battle that was loud, aggressive, punch-lit, disrespectful (esp. from Hustle’s side) and certainly entertaining on both sides (even when Ars was ‘going at it’ with his doppleganger in round 3) will also be remembered for a sublime 2nd round from Ars, a crowd that was lit from jump and Hustle (even tho some of her personals were pretty dated, something which ironically Arsonal would later address) flexing her versatility throughout the match. Nonetheless, it’s the more steady flowing and haymaker-crazy Hustle who would take the opener, before Arsonal came back with a killer 2nd to split things up. Round 3, which was easily the least explosive round, would get edged by the more direct and punch-lit Hustle for the win.

Verdict: Ms. Hustle (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “Stop telling nigga’s you could fuck me, ‘cuz it ain’t true, truth is he sent me a dick pic…and I sent it to J2!”

Ms. Hustle defeats Yunus

by

Recap: Crucible grad Yunus flexes throughout this 3-round URL Final Exams 2 matchup versus Ms. Hustle. The swave Maryland spitter dishing a plethora of performance-lit set-up/punchlines, ill wordplay, hitting (that ‘All of the Above’ package in round 2 was crazy) personals, fly freestyles and piercing name flips to claim his seat at the table. But unsportsmanlike (what with a handful of bumps) conducts and one too many darts directed Mike P aside, Hustle was just on one here and she would need every bit of it. URL’s 1st Lady scoring at will in both of the opening rounds (esp. round 2, a classic) with a gang of sublime punches, rambunctious gun bars, bullish personals, a hilarious imitation of her opponent and savage African-themed bars to edge them both for the win before the more haymaker-lit Yunus got the final round to avoid the 30.

Verdict: Ms. Hustle (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “I’m ovulating, perfect time to shoot the club up!”

Ms. Hustle defeats Kapo Bravado

by

Recap: From Houston Bar Code’s NOME 5 card, arguably one of Ms. Hustle’s best rounds ever as the EFB vixen turns it up (bumps included) on a gritty/pretty solid, but ultimately overmatched Kaop Bravado with an aggressive variety of hard-hitting punchlines, crowd-rocking schemes, glistening gun bars, flexing boasts and stinging personals to score than enough haymakers and earn the win in this equally bullish and definitely personal 1-rounder.

Verdict: Ms. Hustle (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “You lame too, that’s your vibe, for that snake shit, Spillz should make you step outside, you don’t sell ya nigga out for no bitch, that’s your guy, I’m only showing you what to look out for Spillz…like a ‘Wet Floor’ sign!”

Tay Roc defeats Ms. Hustle

by

Recap: Tay Roc’s 50th URL battle and it’s a goodie as his ‘Kings vs. Queens 4’ opp Ms. Hustle kept it competitive throughout with a gang of gritty/aggressive punchlines, blazing heat, biting name flips and performance-laced darts/bumps that literally had Roc almost falling off the stage. However, after a sizzling and punch-heavy 1st round by both battlers that went either way, thanks in part to Hustle coming off a bit redundant with her personals, the rest of bout was simply about Roc out-punching his opponent. The Gun Titles captain keeping it consistent throughout while scoring with a bunch of witty (including a hitting ‘body bitch’ trope) personals, piercing back-to-back punches (esp. in round 3), flashy gun bars, graphic mayhem and superb punches (esp. in round 2) to take both of the latter rounds and earn the win.

Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Tay Roc – “You summoned the demon, there’s a couple of reasons Hustle is bleeding, 380 on standby like oven pre-heating!”

Ms. Hustle defeats Shooney Da Rapper

by

Recap: Nice to see Chrome 23 get its cherry popped what with Shooney Da Rapper and Ms. Hustle almost fighting on stage here. Outside of that, a clear win for Hustle as the EFB vixen took advantage of a handful of stumbles from her opponent (a common refrain from Shooney, who otherwise was pretty gritty and competitive throughout) in the latter rounds on her way to a 30, using a boatload of flippant personals, fiery gun lines, dope performance bars, piercing name flips and raucous punchlines that more than left their mark to pitch a shutout.

Verdict: Ms. Hustle (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “Put the metal on Shoo [shoe] I’m tap dancing!”

Ms. Hustle defeats MyVerse

by

Recap: A dope 2nd round (littered with a bunch of witty personals and a spicy rebuttal) from MyVerse, but in this URL ‘Outside’ 3-rounder against Ms. Hustle, the Florida emcee (who also had a couple of slip-ups in Rd. 1) was clearly overmatched. As the more condensed Harlem vet, steady throughout with a gang of salacious gun bars, fire set-ups, gritty punchlines, mocking personals and nasty name flips, handily takes rounds 1 and 3 from her punch-profilic, but much less damaging opponent, while also edging the 2nd round with a couple of more haymakers for an impressive 30.

Verdict: Ms. Hustle (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “Tek in a holster, I might drive by with the seats[?] swerving, gang in the street lurking, two guns I’m pet-breeding, bulldog and a mean German!”

Ms. Hustle defeats JC

by

Recap: From URL’s Lite Work battles, using a steady combo of hard-hitting personals, mean set-ups and aggressive/gritty punchlines while also taking advantage of a pretty solid overall, but flow-erratic JC, Ms. Hustle scores more than enough haymakers in each round to earn the 30.

Verdict: Ms. Hustle (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “They know I’m Ape, but like a Fedora I’m around the brims!”

Viixen The Assassin defeats Ms. Hustle

by

Recap: In front of what seemed to be a timid Chrome 23 crowd (Remy Ma might want to look into changing her venue), a raucous, but competitive back-n-forth between Ms. Hustle (who also had some fiery schemes and aggressive angles on her plate) and Viixen The Assassin (aggressive throughout as well, but with a more workmanlike performance overall) gets edged by the more punch-lit, personal-spicy, versatile, steadily hitting and less predictable Milwaukee, WI queenpen, who after getting edged by a slightly more stellar round 1 by Hustle, came back with more potency to her bars in both of the latter rounds to earn the vic.

Verdict: Viixen The Assassin (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Viixen The Assassin – “So much I can get away with like murder, beat a bitch up for singing like Ike Turner!”

Couture defeats Ms. Hustle

by

Recap: While a more condensed and mostly scheme/punch-lit Couture did her thing (without much use of props btw) during this Chrome23 bout, Ms. Hustle may want to look in the mirror and blame herself for losing. A very close loss, but a loss nonetheless. And here’s part of the reason why: a creative and highly personal, but poorly executed 3rd round that was set-up well (tho Anderson Burruss or someone from her EFB clique would’ve been a better choice to play the commenter) and made plenty of sense when she brought out Ms. Pak (considering her and Couture’s notorious past on QOTR), but didn’t utilize her fully and altogether was topsy-turvy when it came to the punches. And with the battle tied (had Hustle edging round 1 and Couture edging round 2) going into the 3rd, after Hustle wrapped up her wayward turn, all Couture needed to do was stay consistent with her game plan, a versatile, well-themed, consistent, personal/aggressive when need be and witty at times effort that got her the final round for the win and locked down her top tier status.

Verdict: Couture (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Couture – “The East coast is popping, but you out here throwing up [tosses some nuts out on the stage] ‘Nut!’ like you from Compton!”

Coffee Brown defeats Ms. Hustle

by

Recap: SMH. Not to get on a soapbox, but as a huge battle rap fan all I want to do is see you display your talent and rap. All that extra shit? After the battle, take it outside, go around the block and do ya 5 minutes. Or if it’s really that deep and you can’t separate words from feelings then either join the MMA or go fill up an application at UPS (RIP Biggie). That said, from what I’ve gathered online, the story here is Coffee Brown was never that interested in battling Ms. Hustle…and vice versa. Hustle also had to cancel and postpone the battle due to a car accident some months back. And both Hustle and Coffee felt that the other person crossed the line going after each other’s kids (amongst other gripes) online while promoting the battle. Of course, each battler has their own version of what caused them to act so unprofessionally during this battle (so much so that it was cut short near the beginning of Coffee’s 3rd). But damn if we couldn’t just get 3 rounds out of them. And to the naysayers, with two top tier female’s at their behest, it’d be ass-backwards to blame URL for wanting to get this potentially classic battle done even with all their personal beef. But either way in what was lyrically a pretty raw and fiery back-n-forth, thanks in part to Hustle (in what was a close bout) choosing to cut both her rounds short, it’s a slightluy more consistently-lit Ms. Brown who gets the edge here.

Verdict: Coffee Brown (W) 2-0

Favorite line: Coffee Brown – “I won’t fuck this event up, by stealing on you naturally, so to protect by back end, I’m a let you touch me first…so I could beat your ass on a technicality!”

Ms. Hustle defeats Ave Verb

by

 

Recap: Although not as bad as the commenters in the App Gang (and elsewhere) would have you think, Ms. Hustle (who got better with each round) still puts a hurting on Aye Verb in this Kings vs. Queens matchup. The Harlem femcee delivering some solid wordplay, spitfire personals that ran the gamut from battle rap friendships to Verb’s upbringing to challenges on his manhood and aggressive punchlines to gain a 30 over an opponent who while dialed in at times with his usual barbs on women knowing their place and some witty barbs on Hustle’s looks, just could never keep up with a battler who not only seemed to want this one more, but performed like it.

Verdict: Ms. Hustle (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “I’m like Surf in the faceoff, I take my .40 on a date!”

Ms. Hustle defeats Lady Luck

by

 


Recap: Griping about your opponent coming with Remy Ma mention’s when you were one half of one the most infamous female rap battles in recorded history seems a little strange to me, but what can you do. Either way, Lady Luck vs. Ms. Hustle, while showcasing that the veteran Luck can still bring it lyrically, a way more consistently spicy (and professional, what with Luck often talking while Hustle rapped) Hustle took it to another level via 3 rounds of raucous darts, piercing name flips, head-twisting personals, razor-sharp punchlines and some excellent wordplay to score a 30.

Verdict: Ms. Hustle (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “I bet you walk around with your strap-on all day, I could bet my life you stand up and pee!”

Ms. Hustle defeats 40 B.A.R.R.S.

by

Recap: In what was for the most part, a haymaker-drenched and competitive battle between 40 B.A.R.R.S. and Ms. Hustle (who let E. Hart come in the ring and sling a few punches at her former battle partner in round 3), Hustle gets the edge here with a more consistently spitfire rounds 1 and 2. The ever confident ‘1st Lady of URL’ taking each of the aforementioned rounds with more intricate punchlines/schemes, cold name flips, potent personals and aggressive heaters, before a more condensed and fiery 40 (who when her flow is on point, as seen here, can hold her own against anyone) salvaged the last round with some turned up shiners and rousing name flips/personals.

Verdict: Ms. Hustle (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “I asked for Hitman, was you not listening homie?, I never mentioned you, I don’t know where you getting that story, I’m high maintenance, I never asked a nigger for 40!”

Ms. Hustle defeats Illa

by

Recap: Along with using her star power without an ounce of humility, Ms. Hustle enlists a gang of braggadocios darts, some biting name flips, witty barbs and a bunch of bruising punchlines/personals to beat back a gritty and mostly solid, but a bit flow-challenged effort from Illa in this 1-rounder from Union Battle League.

Verdict: Ms. Hustle (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “Let me guess, you a thug and you gonna talk to ne like you G’d up, nigag please, you lite-skin, you text on your stomach with your feet up!”

Ms. Hustle defeats Queen Vixen

by

Recap: Well, that was entertaining. And to be fair to Queen Vixen tho, getting triple-teamed in a 1-round, one-on-one battle and having a nude picture of yourself exposed for all the world to see, would probably make anybody tight. That said, Hustle already had this battle won before Viixen and the other chick made their cameos. Not that Vixen didn’t have a solid turn with her own series of mayhem and nifty punchlines. But an amped up performance by Hustle that was matched by more raucous punchlines, hitting personals/schemes and righteous 4-bar set-ups, would prove to be too much in the end.

Verdict: Ms. Hustle (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “Bitch, I’m excited, I heard you like fighting, but that last bitch?, you ain’t even hit her not once, now it make sense why you was fucking Chilla Jones, y’all both take too long to get to the punch!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Ms. Hustle

by

Recap: After getting beat by O-Red in a classic inter-gender match several years ago, the rarely seen Ms. Hustle faces off against Jersey’s finest, Nu Jersey Twork, in another 1-round, inter-gender bout here for Queen of the Ring. A solid and aggressive battle with plenty of in-ya-face heat from both sides, gets a bit controversial however, when Hustle apparently goes past her agreed upon time limit, which led to Twork demanding her round be cut short. Still, bar-wise, while Hustle delivered on the side of jaunty gun bars, mocking personals and a surprising tag-in with her old opp Phara Funeral, a little too much filler along a more condensed and spitfire with the gun talk, flexing with the wordplay/name flips/punchlines and very witty at times with the personals Twork ends up taking this one.

Verdict: Nu Jersey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jersey Twork – “I was gonna tear you up, ok you ain’t want me to talk about that fight you lost?, ok fair [Phara] enough!”

Ms. Hustle defeats O’fficial

by

Recap: Spazzing throughout this battle with a shitload of fiery punchlines/name flips, forecasting her opponent’s personals with her own narratives, steely with the bully bars and serving up an extra dose of wit, moxie and downright cattiness with the personals, for 3 rounds a consistently nice, lyrical and piercing Ms. Hustle easily beats back a mostly subpar with the punches and reach-heavy O’fficial in this Summer Madness 5 battle from Smack/URL.

Verdict: Ms. Hustle (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “Bitch, you stupid? I be hearing you say you’re pretty, gorgeous, let’s come clean, whore, you’re a big nigga bitch a nigga will never cop some lean for, if it ain’t my face, then it’s my ass, but you’re not the one they fiend for, you’re the big bitch a nigga be mad as hell they have to take one for the team for!”

Ms. Hustle defeats Gattas

by

Recap: Fire, braggadocio and competitive URL N.O.M.E. 4 battle between Ms. Hustle and Gattas stays throughout lit with plenty of lyrical shiners, witty punchlines/anecdotes and fiery personals. Gattas, well known for her comedic (“Yo, you a dusty trick and attention is like money to you, half the time she don’t even know why she fucking, it’s just somethin’ to do!”) acumen and appreciation for bar efficiency, kept it lively throughout the battle with a boisterous delivery that was further emboldened by a heapful of jocular stylings and piercing (“I’ll smack fire out of a bird and turn a Phoenix into Jean Grey!”) punches. And while Ms. Hustle was a little less condensed during her turns as opposed to her opponent, the ever-aggressive and raucous “1st Lady of URL” kept the pressure on with a gang of fierce bully bars, glistening personals and flexing punchlines/schemes. Each round was close and while Ms. Hustle had her bouts of mediocrity here and there with the punches, her ability to be a little more versatile with her angles, display some of her own wit/wordplay and land more haymakers in the (“You a dumb AG, you couldn’t execute this simple plan?, I mean when we met years ago, you was a different man!”) 1st and 3rd round coupled with Gattas’ penchant for filler in those same rounds, allowed Hustle to edge each one for the win.

Verdict: Ms. Hustle (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “I’ll bus(t) and leave your camp pissed [campus] that’s a college trip, no jewels [jews] so why stick ya [swastika] that’s a Nazi flip, Remember you said I was bi-polar? Yeah bitch I’m mad…nice, You used to be that bitch but you ain’t cooking no more, you a bad wife!”

Jaz the Rapper defeats Ms. Hustle

by

Recap: A little flat on delivery at times, overmatched on size and having to deal with nonsense like Ms. Hustle turning her back on her as well as Phara Funeralz attempting to steal the show, Jaz the Rapper still does this, taking on Ms. Hustle for mystical title of “Queen of URL” and winning with intelligent schemes, witty (“We was cool, I got hot, so we ain’t no more”) punchlines and hot bars. Granted, Ms. Hustle had her moments (“You dance around the punch, that’s prom night”), but after a sizzling first round it soon became clear that Hustle wouldn’t be able to keep up with Jaz’s truth serum and repeated (“When you think of Jaz you think of music, the team, even Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, when you think of Eboni you think of Pornhub, black bitches getting fucked in they ass”) haymakers (tho flipping that “With the Beats” scheme Ms. Fit used on her during their battle was funny to watch here).

Verdict: Jaz the Rapper (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jaz the Rapper – “You not Ms. Hustle, you Ms. Struggle!”

Ms. Hustle defeats Ms. Fit

by

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]”

O-Red defeats Ms. Hustle

by

Recap: Not a big fan of intergender matchups (to me it’s a no-win for the dude), but battle rap fans seem to like them and enough battle rappers will participate in them so whatever. That said, both Ms. Hustle and O-Red went hard here, with Hustle going after Red’s URL standing (“Only reason he here, cuz Smack didn’t call you for Summer Madness”) all the while tossing in a load of nice gun bars, punchlines, funny interpretations and fleeting performance bars. And she put on a dope show, some of Hustle’s just alright bars got crazy gassed by the hometown crowd and simply put O-Red just one-upped her, using his one-round unlimited to preach on why female battle rappers can’t hang with their male counterparts (“I see a lot of you bitches is smoking angel dust”), spitting a dope magazine scheme, unloading crazy nice bars, delivering amiable personals and even getting biblical (“So fuck what you spitting, cuz’ a man is the reason you women even existing”) to remind everybody who the man is. So while I’ll never be a fan of intergender matchups, all told this was a pretty good battle.

Verdict: O-Red (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “Faggots go in the casket too nigga and you should of known bitches ruled the world when Eve made Adam eat that apple too nigga”

QB (Black Diamond) defeats Ms. Hustle

by

Recap: Dope battle with lots of personals, stage presence and aggressive bars on both sides. However, QB wasn’t at her best (too much filler) here and I don’t know if we’re supposed to believe Hustle about all those dudes QB allegedly smashed. That said, first two rounds could go either way, but QB, thanks in part to Hustle keeping it so short, definitely took the 3rd for the win.

Verdict: QB (W) 2-1

Favorite line: QB – “So what the fuck you mean if I talk about your daughter you gonna punch me in my face?, bitch I’ll turn that little bitch upside down like I’m looking for change”

E-Hart defeats Ms. Hustle

by

Synopsis: Unlike, say women’s basketball, female battle rappers have long proven that they can put on just as good a show, and/or competition, as their male counterparts. That’s more than the case here as Ms. Hustle and E-Hart go toe-to-toe during all 3 rounds in what was Smack/URL’s 1st ever female battle. I got Hustle taking round 1 as her stage presence, performance and bars were so wicked and raw (“I wouldn’t fuck her with Wendy Williams dick”) that early on E-Hart didn’t stand much of a chance. However, thanks in part to Hustle’s obsession with wanting to battle QB, Hart came back and edged round 2 by staying consistent and continuing to style on Hustle’s realness, alleged promiscuity and money in the bank. The 3rd was classic, with Hustle telling joke after hilarious joke on Hart’s livelihood, but an elongated round and a brief stumble gave Hart a chance for the dub, which she took with ample jokes (“stop it you’ll never be poppin’, you Babs Bunny”) along with lethal personals to win it on points.

Verdict: E-Hart (W) 2-1

Best line: Ms. Hustle – “I’m Ms. Hustle, they know I push that white so they get it from me, so her real reason for coming here wasn’t to battle, it was to see if her crackhead ass could get a sample or get it for free, ‘No Bitch, 25 for 3!'”
