Your Honor defeats PG Skillet

Recap: After PG Skillet kicked things off in this 3-rounder from Bullpen with a raucous, mayhem-drenched 1st round that edged a salient, witty and versatile, but flow-challenged turn by Your Honor, this battle would immediately turn its head as the always performance-heavy and conversational YH’s half-jocular/half-hardbody stylings would score him an easy vic over his more pedestrian opponent in round two. In spite of a fierce tag-in on YH’s side from the-one-and-only T-Rex, the deciding 3rd round would still go to Your Honor, who with some pretty rugged trap talk and pronounced punches, had just enough in the tank to beat back an uninterrupted, but less potent turn from Skillet.

Verdict: Your Honor (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Your Honor – “There was always that one feen that came super late, but it’s ok, microwave, 4th {???] bowl, water, good plates, 3 minutes got you creamy chicken…the hood way!”

Big Hann defeats P.G. Skillet

Recap: Dishing mean and descriptive gun bars with willful abandon, when he wasn’t flexing on his opponent with aggressive braggadocio lines, after a debatable 1st round, Big Hann gets the drop on an inconsistent P.G. Skillet in the latter rounds to score a win.

Verdict: Big Hann (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Big Hann – “You came in here with nothing to lose, thinking what you spit shine, you just here to buff up my shoes!”

Young X defeats P.G Skillet

Recap: P.G. Skillet had some nice schemes and hard (“I’ll spin his shit back, y’all gonna miss X…like Christmas time!”) bars to edge the second round and put up a decent fight against Young X. But X’s versatility, a fine mixture of rich storytelling bars, requisite jokes that landed, steely (“And all that cook coke shit, nigga you can kill it, every hustler in here know you can’t cook coke with no skillet!”) name flips and some fiery personals, gets him the 1st and 3rd rounds and the win.

Verdict: Young X (W) 2-1

Favorite line:  Young X – “You that nigga that won’t get no pussy, catch me getting getting pussy and be like….I’mma tell!”

T Top defeats P.G Skillet

Synopsis: Damn, this is a close one, both came with it, literally spitting that heat. Got the 2nd and 3rd rounds tied/debatables, 1st round edged to T Top on the versatility: visceral bars, metaphors (“Where I’m from you throw up something you got some shit to prove”), name flips and personals.

Verdict: T Top (W) 2-1

Favorite line: T Top – “Basically what I’m saying be cool or die, I let them boys sing in a group it ain’t Coolie High”

Ave defeats P.G. Skillet

Recap: Loud with the heat and aggressive with the parlay, it’s too bad that overall PG Skillet’s bars lacked so much intricacy, leaving a solid, but very beatable (esp. after the 1st round) Ave with a pretty banal sweep of this battle from 7 Cities Sharks.

Verdict: Ave (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Ave – “Nigga’s never picked you for blazin;, you like Jordan with Portland!”

Tay Roc defeats P.G Skillet

Recap: A battle that’s always in those “Most Awkward Moments In Battle Rap” videos due to Tay Roc nearly vomiting in round 1, this Blood on the Shoes bout versus P.G. Skillet still made for a competitive and intense matchup due to Skillet and Roc’s noted Maryland roots. That said, despite being under the weather and dealing with a lot of hardbody punches/personals from Skillet, Roc gets the edge here, taking both the 2nd and 3rd rounds thanks in part to a wide load of pedestrian bars from his opponent, but also displaying better consistency when it came to spicy punchlines, some fierce name flips, boastful stunting and plenty of flexing gun bars.

Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Tay Roc – “He lightweight so I ain’t have to prepare a lot, how you cooking Tay when a skillet ain’t how you prepare a Roc [rock]!”
