Recap: Dizaster versus Russian hip-hop artist/battler Oxxxymiron on KOTD gives us, amongst other things, something you rarely see: a battle rapper rapping longer than Diz. Nonetheless, this one is still a goodie with a pretty electric crowd that was treated to a gang of hard-hitting punchlines, spicy personals, impressive 2nd-language polemics, political waverings and witty barbs from both Oxxxymiron and Dizaster. However with the surprisingly more condensed Diz also mixing in some strong wordplay, mayhem, cadence switching and cultural references related to Russia within his raps, while opponent Oxxxymiron was often at times mired in filler and longwinded pontifications, tho the 2nd round was relatively close, it’s Diz who still earns the 3-0 here.
Verdict: Dizaster (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Dizaster – “Don’t get me wrong, I’m trying to be Putin’s friend, ‘cuz I know if I ever had a chance to be president, he gets to choose who wins!”
