Rush Tyg

Th3 Saga defeats Rush TYG

by

Recap: After a brief hiatus from battle rap, Th3 Saga returns to the scene for this Gates of the Garden 1-rounder versus up-n-comer Rush TYG. A solid battle overall that sees Rush’s loud, boisterous punches periodically go over the fence, it’s still a more confident, versatile, witty, personal/punchline-spazzing and oft-reverent with the wordplay Saga who easily gets the win here.

Verdict: Th3 Saga (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Th3 Saga – “You all a fraud, all this bravado will send your coffin off, the iron clicking, Brian Griffin…you just talking dog!”

Dre Dennis defeats Rush Tyg

by

Recap: Funny how much you can tell from a battle rapper by just listening to his flow. That’s especially the case here when taking in Rush Tyg’s bars, which for the most part are hardcore, but also lacking intricacy, that is when he’s not being unintentionally funny. Not that spending significant time locked up can’t make you a dope battle rapper (Snake Eyez is proof of that), but the unsportsmanlike veil threats in the battle, half mask on face and an unnecessary pocket check, kind of show that Rush may not quite be ready to be a professional at his craft. That said, this one-rounder was pretty much all Dre Dennis, scoring left and right with fiery punchlines, buoyant gun bars and rigid name flips throughout his turn, no matter what Rush came with, he wouldn’t have stood much of a chance.

Verdict: Dre Dennis (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Dre Dennis – “I dropped a 100 pounds, but I pick one up quicker!”

Prep and Rush Tyg [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: Good to find out that J.R. Smith is a fan of battle rap. Besides that, in this one-rounder from I Got Bars Battle League, a mostly free-styling Prep gets busy with off-the dome shiners that mostly hit when he clowns his opponent’s (“This gun is Supreme, just that like ski-mask, you only gonna see half his face!”) wardrobe. However, a slip-up and too many pedestrian bars mid-round, allows the super emotive Rush Tyg, while not as intricate with the heat, still hang in there with able wit along with a load of fiery punches to earn himself a debatable.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Prep – “You front liek you with the shit’s and need Teflon, but you running around dressed like Zac Efron!”
