Ratchet defeats B. Magic

by

Recap: If you’re looking for one of those battles where a dude beats himself moreso than the opponent actually won, this is it as B. Magic’s lack of preparation comes to the forefront once again. This time it’s the St. Louis battler, after starting off with an extra crispy and punch-heavy beginning to his 1st round, succumbing to a choke before unleashing a mostly subpar turn and getting edged in the 2nd round to lose the battle against an opponent, Ratchet, who while dishing some hot bars here and there, for the most part was drenched in a gang of pedestrian lines throughout the battle. Ironically, with Ratchet already having the win in hand while barely keeping his head above water when it came to overall bar efficiency, he’d choke away his 3rd round, thus losing any chance of telling his grandkids that he once 30’d B. Magic.

Verdict: Ratchet (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ratchet – “The Drako will leave Magic hanging in the rafters like a retired jersey!”

Rum Nitty defeats Ratchet

by

Recap: After getting overmatched by some wild gun bars, spicy (“I’ll hit the stage and wig off on a Ratchet like a Springer fight!) name flips and loud shiners in round 1, a supposed grudge match between Rum Nitty and Ratchet seems like it’ll be an easy win the 4th Quarter rapper. But to Ratchet’s credit, after a pretty pedestrian 1st, he steps it up in the latter rounds with some nice (“I’ll stand there, broad day, letting it ring like missed calls!”) shiners/wordplay to make things competitive. Still, what with Nitty’s pen staying staunchly consistent in the 2nd round, the match is already settled before Ratchet can bounce for a debatable 3rd.

Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “Direct shit hit him, he’s getting more than grazed, try to run the medal popping off liek Forest leg’s!”

Diesel defeats Ratchet

by

Recap: Diesel’s more rambunctious bars aren’t always spitfire, but here against a more often lyrical lightweight in Ratchet, the Cali rapper’s bombastic Godspeak combined with the aforementioned how-many-ways-I-can-kill-you themes, are enough to come from behind, take the last two rounds and a win.

Verdict: Diesel (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Diesel – “I’ll come to your funeral and when they try to lift you to Jesus, and give you something to take to the grave, like you’ll keep it a secret!”
