Real Deal defeats Nunn Nunn

Recap: Much respect to Nunn Nunn for taking on a life of God. But while the VA vet gets in touch with his religious side, he may want to take a class or two on Capitalism 101 which would help explain how free markets, private busineses, profit motive, marketability leads to why he gets paid what he get paid per battle and others (despite their chokes) get paid more. That said, outside of dishing one-too-many obscure punchlines and pedestrian bars that cost him round 1 to his wittier and punch-heavier opp, it’s Real Deal’s continually nasty/boastful barbs, syrupy wordplay, stifling personals and bodacious/righteous punches that allows the Pittsburh battler to edge rounds 2 and (despite a classic, Smack diss-ful turn by NN in the final round) 3 for the win.

Verdict: Real Deal (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Real Deal – “If I was concerned about your loved one’s welfare I’d ask Brett Favre to pitch in!”

Chef Trez defeats Nunn Nunn

Recap: The final score doesn’t dictate it, but for the most part a strong showing here from Nunn Nunn in this URL ‘Civil War 3’ match against Chef Trez. The North Carolina vet using slick humor, a gang of gritty punchlines, some solid rebuttals and some hitting personals to stay competitive. But as it turns out Trez was just too much here. The Chef cooking up a hot plate of fire gun bar, stinging freestyles/rebuttals (including 3 of them things in round 1 to edge the opener), crazy set-up/punchlines, brash storytelling, piercing ‘Nunn Nunn/Hunger Games’ name flips and robust wordplay/similes to score a Gentleman’s 30.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “I even got young’un’s to shoot for me so it’d be sort of cool, cuz the little nigga’s under Chef carry more than Jordan Poole!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Mike P

Recap: Some white-on-white crime here as Nunn Nunn takes on Mike P in a battle from URL’s Battle in the Bayou card. A long anticipated bout that featured a plethora of local New Orleans’ references from Nunn Nunn, a gang of rambunctious/abstract punches from Mike P, a couple of solid rebuttals from both sides and as to be expected a bunch of aggressive personals from Mike and Nunn (tho the latter making use the now tired angle on Mike’s wife was a bit surprising). Both a crowd-pleasure, set-up rich and a close one throughout with Nunn Nunn taking round 1 and Mike edging round 2, despite a pretty solid and punch-heavy turn by Mike in the 3rd, it’s the more versatile and haymaker-lit Nunn Nunn who takes the 3rd for the win.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “Why take this pussy in New Orleans?!…it’s Mystikal!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Danny Myers

Recap: From URL’s N.O.M.E. 12 card, slightly more direct with his bars overall while proving to his opponent that he can also spout a nice freestyle game, a turned-up throughout and pretty peeved Nunn Nunn unleashes a gritty and superb punchline troupe in round 1 to take the opener before getting edged in round 2 to an off-the-dome spicy, mayhem/storytelling-rich, slightly more condensed and punch-lit Danny Myers to split things going into round 3. The final round while close and equally lit when it came to rebuttals, gets edged to Nunn Nunn here as the North Carolina rapper’s witty/rigid personals, stinging punches and lofty wordplay/schemes manages to edge another boisterous, but less punch-heavy/potent turn by Danny for the win.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “Like the Last Supper, when they made me a plate with God I thought of Judas!”

O-Red defeats Nunn Nunn

Recap: A bunch of fire punches, hard-hitting/witty personals and dope rebuttals (esp. in round 2, which he edged) by Nunn Nunn in this URL/UM5 ‘Extra Battle’. But one too many indirect darts by the North Carolina battler as well as a slightly more consistent/versatile O-Red, who pulled off a well-finessed class in wordplay, triple and quadruple entendres, name flips, off-the-dome heat, robust mayhem and gritty punches/personals, gives the Jersey capo just enough mileage to edge the opening round and the deciding 3rd for the win in what was a highly competitive and aggressive matchup.

Verdict: O-Red (W) 2-1

Favorite line: O-Red – “Got Nunn [none] in the back, that nigga dead stock!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Charron

Recap: Although we’re pretty certain that the opportunity to receive bigger paychecks played a huge part, give Charron the credit he deserves for coming back to the URL, where in the 4 battles he’s participated in this year alone, he’s had to face much stiffer competition over the course of 4 battles than he probably has during his entire career. That being said, while the Canadian vet’s penchant for fire off-the-dome polemics, killer wit, stellar personals and an often sublime punchline game will always allow him to sit at the top tier table, as witnessed here against Nunn Nunn on the Civil War 2 card, it’s Charron’s knack for longwinded rounds that often gets him in trouble. As after taking round 1 with a versatile, punch-lit, boastful and uber-witty turn that served up an abundance of haymakers and beat back a pretty solid round from his opponent, some pedestrian rebuttals and an inability to consistently match the potency of Nunn Nunn (who was steadily hardbody throughout the battle with a gang of stifling real talk darts, cunning wordplay, gritty punchlines, fiery schemes, hitting personals, spicy race angles and a dope rebuttal in round 3) during a couple of elongated turns, would edge both of the latter rounds to Nunn Nunn and give the Wilson, NC mainstay the biggest win of his battle career.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “Say anythingg that ain’t true and I’m a pause your whole round like J2!”

Rum Nitty defeats Nunn Nunn

Recap: Dope 1-rounder from URL’s Banned card sees a lyrically spicy, punch-lit at times and versatile (including a solid rebuttal) Nunn Nunn give one of his more consistently jarring rounds to make things competitive. Yet, for all of his opponent’s heat, a well-equipped Rum Nitty would have an answer. The Phoenix, AZ, vet using his turn to deliver a barn-burner of potent set-ups, stinging name flips, fire similes and hard-hitting wordplay/metaphors.personals to score more than enough haymakers for the win.

Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “Nothing nice, you fittin’ to get smoked, y’all think this nigga lit bro?, whole career a fuckin’ joke, even spell his name with an innuendo!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Quest McOdy


Recap: While a spitfire 2nd round from both battlers highlights this URL barfest between Nunn Nunn and Quest Mcody, the more versatile (tho he was a little elongated with his rounds) Nunn’s ability to score with the boasts, wit, fiery personals, wordplay, set-ups and punchlines at a steadier level and even go off-the-dome when need be, allows him to take both the 1st and 3rd rounds for the win.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “I wanted Marvwon [one] and they gave me Marv 2!”

Ryda defeats Nunn Nunn


Recap: Helped by a wayward bar spitting (rd. 1), but also aggressive and punch-heavy (esp. during round 2 which he edged) at times Nunn Nunn piggybacking themes that have been used on him aplenty in the past (i.e. the Silk shirt, the notorious Mike P battle and Swave Sevah’s ‘You pussy’ diss), a versatile, righteous when need be, spicy name flip-tossing, gun bar/punch-lit and witty Ryda does enough to take both the opening and deciding 3rd round for the win in this close App exclusive bout from URL.

Verdict: Ryda (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ryda –  “Nigga’s always talking about Ryda be drinking and treat ’em like it’s a fucking joke, but now I ain’t coming back until I get Nitty or Ill…I need my Rum and Coke!”

JC defeats Nunn Nunn


Recap: From URL’s Super Fight 3 card, JC uses a steady barrage of bruising name flips, wicked God-body bars/angles (esp. in round 1) and a bunch of stinging punchlines/personals to beat back a hard-hitting, personal-inclined and mayhem-lit, but overall not as strong or punch-heavy performance from Nunn Nunn.

Verdict: JC (W) 3-0

Favorite line: JC – “I’ll have you talking to a dot like ‘Alexa, play with somebody safe!'”

Shotgun Suge defeats Nunn Nunn

Recap: Granted, his 3rd round rebuttal was fire and a shitload of fiery punchlines and personals kept Nunn Nunn in the bout. But a couple of questionable tactical decisions by the North Carolina rapper: two elongated rounds (esp. in the 3rd, where after a blazing start, Nunn was clearly losing steam towards the end) and filler bars spent complaining about getting the likes of Shotgun Suge for your next battle after a tournament in which you did well, but didn’t win (or even make it to the final round) would hurt Nunn in the end, while giving a way more condensed Suge–dope (esp. in round 1) and witty throughout with the ‘white boy/junkie’ themes and also scoring with a gang of spirited name flips and piercing gun bars/punches–a close win.

Verdict: Shotgun Suge (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Shotgun Suge – “God asked me to have a heart…nah, I got one [Nunn] for you!”

Bill Collector defeats Nunn Nunn


Recap: Quarterfinal Ultimate Madness 2 battle between Bill Collector and Nunn Nunn was (residual name flips and personals aside) pretty much a punchfest, with both battlers offering up equally spirited efforts in their efforts to win. That said, a comfortable-in-his-skin, rebuttal dropping and punch-heavier Bill Collector with less-than-usual antics and a more consistently spicy pen game, manages to get the win, taking the first two rounds before a 3rd round debatable.

Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Bill Collector – “Man, I might bring pumps, the 9 cool, 50 on me, Ja Rule, squeezing out a window like Big T at a drive-thru!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Mr. Wavy

Recap: Dope Ultimate Madness 2 battle between Mr. Wavy and Nunn Nunn that outside of Wavy getting a little political midway through his 2nd round, had all the fiery punchlines, piercing name flips, flexing personals and righteous mayhem one could ask for. Split going into the 3rd round with a punch-heavier Wavy taking the 1st round before Nunn Nunn upped his bar efficiency to take the 2nd, a pretty spitfire and versatile 3rd round on both ends gets edged by Nunn Nunn for having one more haymaker as well as the best line of the round.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “You think you never fell off, you sure?, then why you competing for a Summer Madness reward when you been on Summer Madness before?!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Loso

Recap: Nice comeback in this Ultimate Madness 2 matchup by Nunn Nunn, who after a topsy-turvy 1st round that was easily beaten by a punch-heavier, uber-confident and more consistent Loso, upped his bar efficiency and religious wordplay adeptness in the latter rounds with a spicy mix of slamming personals, fiery schemes and flexing punchlines to take each round from a still aggressive and competitive, but not as steadily potent opponent.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “Y’all the fakest friends! I don’t give a fuck, if you was Christian, you’d tell Street Hymns that he sucks!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Skates

Recap: Upping the ante on an already nice punch game, but also flexing with some sublime name flips, a dope 2nd round rebuttal, witty barbs and a plethora of piercing gun bars, Nunn Nunn puts together 3 straight superb rounds of consistent heat to beat back a hitting at times, but mostly lackluster Skates in this Survivor Series 3-rounder from URL.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “You ain’t really G, I can’t salute you, you the Duck Hunt dog, I’m mad I can’t shoot you!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Burke Bucs

 

Recap: Back from a short retirement, Nunn Nunn uses a more consistent pen, (“One shell, I’ll kill him, crazy as fuck, that’s one Buc [buck], like Smokey’s mom, I’m a make it enough!”) heavy-handed/versatile punchlines, steely mayhem and some tailor-made Cave Gang personals/name flips to beat back a cadence-lit and rapidly (“I said, you brought your bitch to jump Ave, my nigga that’s dead lame, lead bang, I’ll hit his shin like a bed frame!”) punch heavy (including a spitfire 2nd round), but slip-up prone Burke Bucs in what was otherwise a pretty solid battle from Smack/URL.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “But I get it, I’m white, I’m from the South, I live in a trailer, I can’t front for y’all, I am a redneck, with this rifle I could put Bucs head on a fucking wall!”

Zig Zag defeats Nunn Nunn

Recap: Race angles against white battle rappers are usually par the course. But add some wit and spicy punchlines to the mix along with enough piercing personals/name flips/blazing gun bars and even against a punch-heavy, but slightly less versatile Nunn Nunn, in a 1-rounder you can squeak out a win like Zig Zag does here.

Verdict: Zig Zag (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Zig Zag – “You think I’m here to question your gangster or if you racist?, I got a question that’s way more valid…like why the fuck do white people put raisins in they potato salad!”

Jakkboy Maine defeats Nunn Nunn

Recap: Perception can be a little blinding. With Jakkboy Maine readily dominating both the 1st and 3rd rounds, one can easily come off thinking that (as he did in his recap, where he even talked about retiring) this battle versus Nunn Nunn was a lopsided affair. But it really wasn’t, especially seeing as a more consistent and punch-heavy Nunn surely took the 2nd and wasn’t too shabby with his bars and schemes in the other rounds. But putting aside a solid mid round, a performance rich Jakkboy Maine was just stellar here, dishing richly potent name flips with ease, shooting up his opponent with the stinging gun bars, serving up righteous heat with epic punchlines and for the coup-de-grace, a sizzling Little Richie ‘A-Wop-bop-a-loo-lop a-lop-bam-boo!’ punch that not only brought the house down in the 3rd, but solidified Jakk’s victory.

Verdict: Jakkboy Maine (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jakkboy Maine – “See a white boy in 2018, now anything I pull look like a gun!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Vega

Recap: Nunn Nunn’s debut on the KOTD stage goes about as well as expected, mixing in some mean personals, surefire punches and a dope rebuttal to start his 3rd round, Nunn’s steely versatility wins the crowd over and easily beats back an overall solid, but inconsistent turn from Aussie opponent Vega.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “This gonna be murder, let’s begin, you hear a ‘Que?’ [K] outta nowhere…like confused Mexicans!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Punchline

Recap: Much credit to Punchline for living up to his moniker, what with a handful of fiery (“He say he want to quit tobacco, but the cig I got ain’t peer pressure!”; “This .45 I call special, by far, even tho it’s next to Nunn [none]!”) punches that made this one-rounder versus Nunn Nunn competitive. However, an elongated round filled with too many standard jabs by Punchline, along with a couple of crazy rebuttals by Nunn Nunn, who when he wasn’t spitting winsome (“Bitch, you winning?, disrespect, you just talking out of ass, like Eddie Murphy on Shrek!”) heat and witty personals, kept the crowd hyped with some potent (“I’m a ticket scalper with bad seats, I give out cheap nose-bleeds!”) wordplay, would give the URL vet an impressive win.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn –  “We smell the doep on your breathe, you’ll hit a quarter on the glass, you’re Manigault with the meth!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Young Bmore

Recap: When you rap for about twice as long as your opponent as Young Bmore does here, you should be able to score with some shiners here and there, which he certainly does. However, a way more punchline-proficient, consistent as well as condensed Nunn Nunn manages to take this one-rounder brought to you from the TrapNY.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “I’ll hit ya dame, running old game…Dreamcast, sleazebag, I’ll use her face as a skeet rag, she sucks so much she go on dates wearing kneepads!”

Nunn Nunn and Born [DEBATABLE]

Recap: Sporting a plethora of fire punchlines from each battler throughout, Born and Nunn Nunn go tit-for-tat on the KOTD stage. That’s a harbinger for a close and competitive battle, that with some ample accessories (i.e. Nunn Nunn kicking a couple of dope rebuttals to edge the 2nd round after a solid freestyle garners a debatable first) and Born’s ability to still dispense a barrage of spitfire (“I was sleeping, but still coming [cumming] for a bitch like a wet dream!”) punchlines in the final 3rd round to beat back Nunn Nunn’s more pedestrian turn, makes for a draw at the end.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “If I’m a white bitch, then Nuborn [new born] I’m Casey Anthony!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Top Ten

Recap: Solid battle between a sporadically (“You done ‘fo, [blhhlhhlt] give him a drum roll, first round, I’m a split up Ten, it’s 1-0!”) potent Nunn Nuun and an aggressively (“Ayo Nunn Nunn, I don’t rock with you, because nigga you rep wrong, ain’t you get killed by Ave?, so why would I fuck with White that’s already been stepped on?”) nice at times Top Ten, sees them split the first two rounds before Nunn Nuun outshines his opponent in the decisive 3rd with more steady heat along with less predictable themes.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “These bucks will send him to God like collection plates, I’ll bring that shit to ya yard like septic tanks!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Rage Rush

Recap: When you’re on another league and they refer to you as a ‘URL Rapper’, you might as well remind them why you got selected for ‘The World’s Most Respected’ battle league in the first place. So it goes for Nunn Nunn, as despite a (“This ain’t the return of Rage, I been back, drop a bad, I raise the bar, I done turned limbo into a shoulder press!”) solid, scheme-heavy performance from Cleveland’s Rage Rush, with a wide range of clever (“I’m posted with the pound like I’m setting trends!”) wordplay, lofty (“Each hand, got each piece blamin’, I keep it clean, ain’t gotta wonder if we be jammin’!”) gun bars, aggressive shiners witty personals and rich set-ups, it’s Nunn Nunn who displays the difference in talent between a wily URL vet and a relative newbie.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “But peep how the night ends, she more than a slight freak, I put my dick in her breasts, she call it a two-piece white meat!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Killa Time

Recap: In this one-rounder from Body Bag Battle League, Killa Time showed some wit and had some hot lines here and there. But too many reaches along with a plethora of pretty basic bars couldn’t withstand the arsenal of potent name flips and ferocious punches from Nunn Nunn.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “I’m flipping, like the hourglass, I got dirt for Time, lazy inmate, it’s not gonna work for Time!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Nice

Recap: Nice impresses here with that straight gutter, (“When I got shot, I woek in the hospital and told my mother it was on, and she took it in the worse way, ‘cuz she knew I was going right back to what got me shot in the first place!”) real life shit that makes the crowd scream ‘Facts!’. But overall, Nunu Nunn’s potent (“I’ll hit you till you cross gender….stuck in a trans!”) wordplay, fierce name flips and the Jersey dude’s lack of being more direct (esp. in the 3rd round where almost half his bars were directed at J. Murda) with his bars hurts him. Thus giving the 1st and 3rd rounds, along with the win, to Mr. Nunn.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “I want your sister, [but] gotta act right for the ho bitch, [but] she get back outta line, and I’ll put one in the skull of your sis!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Power Lines

Recap: A lucid (“But if he run, eh done, I got him tho, shots easily knock him down, when them dots on his square we’ll turn him into a domino!”) Power Lines gets off to a hot start before slowing down towards the end of his turn during this one-round matchup with Nunn Nunn. But after a nice rebuttal, Nunn Nunn stays busy with fierce name flips/wordplay and a steady diet of bubbly (“Let me show you to maneuver, I could make the world watch, like Jacob the Jeweler!”) punchlines to win this bout from South Carolina Battle League.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “You think you got star Power?, let it go, you’ll see more than stars Power when the 50 show!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Ray Stizzy

Recap: Nunn Ninn uses hard-hitting punches, ferocious name flips/set-ups and some jaunty wordplay to take this one-rounder with relative ease over a loud and aggressive, but for the most part basic, Ray Stizzy.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “I seen ya footage bitch, you definitely trash…Joey verse Mook, couldn’t beat this Murda [murder] if that’s the best ya had [Jihad]!”

Prez Mafia defeats Nunn Nunn

Recap: Plenty of entertainment provided here in what was altogether a pretty dope and competitive battle between Nunn Nunn and Prez Mafia. In addition to dishing out some solid schemes, the-never-at-a-loss-for-punches Nunn Nunn amassed a slew of fiery personals/name flips at his opponent over the course of 3 rounds. All the while Prez spouted a piercing punch game that along with some self-deprecating barbs on his recent bouts with stealing bars (an issue his opponent went OD on), ringing name flips, righteous mayhem and a boatload of jaunty punchlines/wordplay that allowed Mafia to take the 1st round, make for a debatable 2nd and in the 3rd round, a turn that featured heavy-handed personals on both sides, thanks to a couple of more haymakers, Prez avoids a tie and gets the win instead.

Verdict: Prez Mafia (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Prez Mafia – “When I’m cooking I might kill myself…that’s a meth lab!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Bonus

Recap: Rarely wasting a bar, Nunn Nunn flows swiftly with impressive angles, righteous bully (“Bad employee, with these hands, I’ll fuck a Bonus up!”) bars and wide-eyed schemes to edge this Proving Grounds matchup over Bonus, who delivered just enough fiery (“That’s pride issues, and i keep two nina’s, i let them 9’s hit you, rubber grips on both of the hammers, like a bicycle”) wordplay/schemes and (“As far as your snow bunny?, shit I learned from Kobe, that all of ’em problems, but it’s hard, ‘cuz white girls fun, ‘cuz all of ’em swallow!”) personals to comeback and tie things in the 2nd, but moving on suffered from too filler to keep up with Nunn Nunn’s rambunctious (“I’ll put this twenty on two, your face feel Double Impact!”) 3rd round.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “You wanna play? with my bands, I don’t have time, tell ya new bitch get off my damn line, she my last year Yankee, I G’d her for the last time!”

Ave defeats Nunn Nunn

Recap: A strong performance by (“The crowd going to feel homeless, go to sleep on Ave!”)  Nunn Nunn gets beat by a superb performance by Ave in this dope PG battle from URL/Smack. Ave easily takes the first round with crazy (“Put the .45 to this square, speed limit sign!”; “You ass and can’t hide it, you like C3 shirts!”) ) nice punchlines combined with fierce name flips and menacing wordplay. Nunn Nunn almost steals the 2nd round, bringing out his steely-eyed girlfriend at the start to team up for some vicious (“Make him think he gonna hit. look at your dumb ass, you caught an erection!”) personals in an epic 2-on-1, while finishing off with some fierce performance bars and dope (“You so pussy, I’ll smack him with a lollipop, I mean literally sucker punch you!”) one-liners that were only hurt by his rhyming a little too long. But Ave, staying true to ‘not needing no help’ takes the round with a steady stream of wicked (“I’ll drop a pack of crackers, Ave a vending machine!”) punches and ridiculous (“Y’all thought he could rock with me? well I’ll make ’em believers, just never compare a fat God to Slim Jesus!”) haymakers. Last round was close, but with Nunn Nunn spouting that real (“The heroin belt be the same one parents beat their son’s and daughter’s with!”) trailer park shit along with fire punchlines, all the while impressively saving himself from a slip-up with a rolling freestyle, he managed to edge the last round by flexing more versatility, even in light of Ave’s continued propensity for dishing scathing heaters.

Verdict: Ave (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ave – “Catch him getting in his ride, let off that black heater, you’ll only see a body on the rim, like a Shaq sneaker!”

Nunn Nunn defeats D. Flamez

Recap: Nunn Nunn edges round 1 here against the ever intense and aggressive D Flamez with more versatility in the bars as well as better creativity with his (“Style on me, if I believe he flex, I’m at his babymom crib, big-ass Tek, Dave Mirra shit, get you b m x, or your cracked head [crackhead] turn to God…DMX!”) haymakers, before dominating round two with outrageous wordplay and schemes that had the crowd shook. Flamez, displaying some nice resiliency, comes back with an (“His main bitch keep the rock hard just like the caine jumping, anytime I battle I bring fire to the ring, like when Kane coming!”) effervescent round 3 to avoid a 3-0 in this Proving Grounds matchup from URL.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “If ya bitch say she faithful, that slut’s a liar, she ain’t shit without the John, I call her Syah!”

Dre Dennis defeats Nunn Nunn

Recap: If there’s one certain thing about Dre Deniis, it’s that no one can ever dispute his energy. Combine that fact with a consistent flow of rich storytelling bars, slick (“Your bm slim, but she always feeding me damn, no Robert Townsend [but] that ho love the Meteor Man [meatier man]”) wordplay and nice (“My vision isn’t great and…but ‘cuz of these bars you can’t touch who’s behind these glasses like prison visitation”) anecdotes and it’s a spirited win over sometimes crazy (“Your bitch too fast, tell her I need a head start”; “Fuck it, want some more bra/ catch this Bigg K, ill Mac, Shotty Horror see? you might say, ‘white boy shit, but it ain’t like mines, I raise a blade, spray some blades, that’s how you cut those white lines!”) nice, but too often spotty Nunn Nunn in this battle from the Quiet Room.

Verdict: Dre Dennis (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Dre Dennis – “You a good worker?, well on the block let me find out, white boy when I stand on ya corner it ain’t a time out!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Blitzen

Recap: Versus a speedy flow and what sounded like mostly mixtape bars from (“Fuck outta here, I body cats and I don’t give a shit about your sloppy Shotty Horror act!”) Blitzen, Nunn Nunn’s spitfire bars and exquisite (“But you’ll die, trying to be fly, when I air hearts like Amelia!”) wordplay prove to be more than good enough to take rounds 1 and 3 for the win.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “Quit lying like you in the streets doing work son, you a blister, you pop up when the work’s done!”
