Shi Dog

Chef Trez defeats Shi Dog

by

Recap: A fire 3-rounder (with Billy Boondocks literally switching sides and providing extra entertainment throughout the battle in case the fierce back-n-forth betwen the rappers wasn’t enough for ya) from CRS Battle League between Chef Trez and longtime vet/underrated punchsmith Shi Dog goes the distance with Trez impressing throughout with a boatload of gritty gun bars, dope rebuttals (including ‘4 of them things’ in round 1, which he egded), massive name flips and some hitting personals/punchlines. While the unorthodox wordplay, galiant schemes, rigid streams and flexing set-ups/punches/rebuts/name flips of Shi Dog stood tall as well. A close bout throughout with the two battlers splitting the first couple of rounds, it’s the slightly more haymaker-lit and versatile Trez who ends up taking the 3rd for the win.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You named yourself Shi Dog, that explains right out the gate why you never had barf!”

Shi Dog defeats Tink Tha Demon

by

Recap: To borrow a phrase from Young Ill: ‘Who is this nigga?’ Dishing (“Tink, why fight to be the center of attention, just to end up the center of a Caution tape!”) mark-for-death bars at his leisure, performance-heavy, Las Vegas up-n-comer Shi Dog makes easy work of a fiery (“Tell ya bitch before I sweat her [sweater], I’ll take a pocket knife and make a v-neck!”) at times, but slip-up prone Tink Tha Demon in this one-rounder from The Trap NY.

Verdict: Shi Dog (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Shi Dog – “Flex for nothing, your bitch will get a breast reduction, play nice, we might just send a tittle to you!”

Yung Griz defeats Shi Dog

by

Recap: A more versatile Yung Griz, jumping out of the gate with a punchline-crazy 1st round to in the later rounds spouting hot schemes when he wasn’t macking on his opponent’s girl (amongst other robust personals) gets the 30 over the gritty and at times wordplay-nice, but overall underwhelming Shi Dog in this 3-rounder from AHAT.

Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Yung Griz –  “I hope y’all came ready for 3 rounds of me giving him more, I came to fuck Dog up, like I know this bitch ain’t shot on my floor!”

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]!”

Danny Myers defeats Shi Dog

by

Recap: Is there a battle rapper who loves what he does more than Danny Myers? Probably not. And if Danny’s eccentric similes and aggressive, old-school stylings bother you, you’re certainly welcome to beat him in the ring, something, simply put, in this 3-roudner from AHAT, Shi Dog couldn’t do. As for all of Shi’s talk surrounding Danny’s alleged lack of lyricism, the best the Dog could do was a couple of shiners here and there to go along a pretty solid 3rd that would ironically get beat back by Danny’s best round of the battle. Yikes, indeed.

Verdict: Danny Myers (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Danny Myers – “Why the fuck would I go in his pockets?, you could miss me with that hard act, you could keep your 7 dollars, your buss pass and your Carmax!”
