Cali Smoov and Profecy [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: Confidence is one thing, but name-dropping and laughing at your own jokes are another. Still, for all of Cali Smoov’s pompousness throughout this battle, a pretty lackluster Profecy didn’t do much to abate his opponent’s arrogance. Still, after easily losing the 1st round to a more punch-heavy (“You Profecy [prophecy], you should no a [Noah] nigga split with the staff!”) Smoov and waking up during the middle of the 2nd round to force a tie, the condensed, yet usually wordplay and punchline-centric Profecy fully gets his groove back to take the 3rd and gain a draw over an opponent whose bars weren’t as hot as he’d like you to think.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Profecy – “And y’all gonna thank me after, Krack City done got it backwards, Dizaster don’t know who he facing in Cali…Cali don’t know he facing a disaster!”

Profecy defeats Ha Double

by

Recap: Heavy wordplay and jaunty thematic bars on both sides of this URL battle between the underrated Ha Double and newcomer Profecy. Stayed close throughout and I had them splitting the first couple of rounds. But it’s Profecy who pulls it out in the end as Ha’s elongated rounds had him reaching a bit and stumbling towards the end of the 3rd, while Profecy stayed consistent with his flow, punches and rich performance bars.

Verdict: Profecy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Profecy – “I got a big strap, the kickback will knock a bone loose, so now I’m just calling shots…Kiefer Sutherland in Phone Booth!”

Profecy defeats Bedaffi Green

by

Recap: Sizzling Proving Grounds battle between Bedaffi Green and Profecy comes down to the 3rd round after Green handily takes the first with killer, aggressive (“Put him down, I won’t blast or steal, this bitch will drop from the Roc, get it? that’s Amil!”; “For any wrong reason, I’m palm-reading, meaning I’m gonna see Profecy [prophecy] in the hands!”; “It’s sick one’s ’round here, these peoples seek terror, this West coast nigga ain’t come strapped up? that’s that Eazy-E era!”) gun bars that landed with ease. While Profecy edged the 2nd stepping up after a (“You get a bright idea, I’m putting tips to ya head, and ya frame on top of the casket, that’s for any body who can’t picture him dead!”) crazy at times, but somewhat slow start with rambunctious (“This stage is my house, you better choose ya words wisely, or I’ll go get the ratchet from out the room, I’m Ron Isley!”; “I hope you got yaself a gun, nah that was Ns tho, what I rep gp hard, we’ll bury Green by the mil like Pablo, that’s an Esco bar!”) haymakers that overstepped another very (“When it’s time to rhyme it’s homicide, I’m getting all these niggas clipped on cam…we shooting Amistad!”) solid round from Green. Left to the last round things, it’s Profecy who does a better job at staying on point, dropping melodramatic (“I’ll turn Bedaffi Green into Profecy, that’s a dred head into a red head and he gonna have as many dots as me!”) shiners and excellent wordplay to top another fiery, but filler-prone turn by Mr. Green.

Verdict: Profecy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Profecy – “See every bar over the top, but I rhyme slow so it sound basic…you just hating and I’m Haiti 2010, that’s groundbreaking!”

Stuey Newton defeats Profecy

by

Recap: Edging the round with a nice rebuttal to start the first and taking advantage of Profecy’s lack of stamina in the 3rd with a (“….you must be Wile E. Coyote, fucked around and fell into a trap that wasn’t meant for you!”) teachable and overall stronger turn, in what was a pretty close and solid battle throughout, an aggressive and more versatile (“Go ahead, talk about how many times cats slayed when ya mac raised, ‘cuz even if Profecy [prophesy] comes truth, he’s in his last days!”) Stuey Newton ends up taking this West-coast PG matchup.

Verdict: Stuey Newton (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Profecy – “You see, everything Stuey says, he be trying to sound so tough, so I give Black rights, then the [motions hand upwards like fist/gun] pound  go up!”

Profecy defeats Wronzy

by

Recap: Judged battle from KOTD between Profecy and Wronzy sees  a load of spitfire bars from both battlers that allows for a split in the early rounds before Profecy, with a more consistently sanguine flow that scored with plenty of bully bars, witty punches and fiery wordplay, taking it at the end.

Verdict: Profecy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Profecy – “Been busting guns since I was fucking young…that’s Asian porn!”

Profecy defeats Shi Dog

by

Recap: Lots of fly shit in this West-coast PG battle between Shi Dog and Profecy. Round one, which would turn out tobee his best, saw Shi Dog’s unique, quasi-theatrical flow get lit with heated schemes, urban street (“I’m from where nigga’s will pop at you just for asking, ‘What’s popping with us!”) dynamics and crazy set-ups, easily turning away a solid, but none-too-spectacular turn from Profecy. However, things would change a bit in the middle round with Shi Dog still dishing fierce wordplay and gritty bars/punches, but unable to turn it up as his previous round what with a mostly unchanging theme, allowing Profecy to even things up, which he did with a load of spitfire punchlines, witty barbs, literally unhurried, but jaunty personals and hitting (“Burner on me, with the snub nose, like a dope lie!”) gun bars. Last, decisive round saw both battlers come with it, with more feisty (Shi-Dog: “I win then win again, see, me and bars go hand-in-hand like repeat felons, you can’t win for losing ‘cuz all you do is repeat and failing!”) wordplay, lofty name flips and braggadocio heaters. Still, it’s Profecy who ends up edging it, what with his opponent faltering a bit towards the  end of his round, while in turn coming off more consistently nice with the bars, performance richer (esp. with the doep PG scheme) and a little more versatile with his subject matter.

Verdict: Profecy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Profecy – “Back to this rapping shit, that’s my bitch, I know we both in love her like savages, but your life and the shit that you write?, don’t match a bit, boy you ain’t that type, you ain’t the man-you-script [manuscript]!”

Profecy defeats Denter

by

Recap: When you’re consistently dishing hot wordplay and hungry enough to eat soup with a fork off of a paper plate, the mostly straightforward, pedestrian stylings of your opponent won’t faze you much…in other words, Profecy over Denter, easy.

Verdict: Profecy (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Profecy –  “The borner got 3 bodies on it…that’s a couch!”

Profecy defeats Supersick

by

Recap: Some witty and gangster-riffic bars from Supersick are enough to edge round 2 and keep things entertaining. But a more slick-talking, consistent, rebuttal-dispening and punch-heavy Profecy owns the 1st and 3rd rounds for the win here on Voicebox Battles.

Verdict: Profecy (W) 2-1

Favorite line:  Profecy – “You must be kept on a short leash, I spend more money on Taste clothing than True spend on court fee’s!”

Profecy defeats Dirt

by

Recap: An otherwise solid and consistent round by Profecy is only hurt by too many name flips and a very unnecessary chickenhead dance. Still, it’s enough here to edge Dirt, who despite hitting with some elongated punches here and there, didn’t come off as versatile and performance-heavy as his opponent, while also spouting too many dry spots.

Verdict: Profecy (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Profecy -“I’m a out bar you, I can still win with a bad performance, I’m only here to get my views up, if you assist me, well hell, somebody had to pass to Jordan!”

Profecy defeats Mikey B

by

Recap: Who knew that there was a popping battle rap scene in Utah, of all places? Either way, with some requisite Mormon jokes, fiery punchlines and witty barbs throughout his 1st and 2nd rounds, the only thing that prevents Profecy from getting an easy 30 over his very average opponent Mikey B is a way too short 3rd.

Verdict: Profecy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Profecy – “You won’t be relevant when you’re 46, if you have a daughter that was 5, I’ll be a legend before she’s 6!”

Profecy defeats Kick-Stand

by

Recap: A couple of huge mistakes by Kick-Stand: starting his round off with the title of a famous song from “Mary Poppins” and admitting in an overtime round that had no business going OT in the first place, that he wasn’t prepared. Couple that with KS’ mostly lame raps along with Profecy’s fierce anme flips, nice personals and steely gun bars and that you get a 30 piece, instead of what should’ve been a 20.

Verdict: Profecy (W) 3-0 (w/ OT)

Favorite line: Profecy – “You don’t come lyrical in any lines that you spitting, so what the fuck you hype for, must be all those lines you sniffing!”
