Star Smilez

MyVerse defeats Star Smilez

by

Recap: Well, after watching this battle, at least we learned a few new things about Star Smilez: she has a Best Buy job to back up her battle rap career, wardrobe-wise she can definitely change it up and dress for the occasion and when she puts forth the effort, like she did during a Dot Mobb-lit and punch-heavy 3rd round, she can certainly rap with some of the best of her fellow Queens. Too bad for Star tho, this battle versus MyVerse was 3 rounds instead of one as Mrs. Smilez would get a handily beat in the previous rounds by the Sandra Bullock lookalike, who while not quite on her A-game and a bit elongated at times, still spouted enough boastful spinners, extra witty personals and heavy-handed punchlines to get the win.

Verdict: MyVerse (W) 2-1

Favorite line: MyVerse – “I don’t believe guts are going up to you and you’re rejecting them, against C3 you wore a skirt so we could decipher who’s the lesbian!”

Bonnie Godiva and Star Smilez [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: Yeah, that was awkward. That is, at the beginning of this QOTR battle vs. Star Smilez, Bonnie Godiva spitting a hot punchline before her intro and receiving next to no reaction (ironically, that would be a sign of things to come as Bonnie would also waste a 3rd of her final round throwing shots at Phara Funeral). Still, this one was a goodie tho as outside of a perfectly-executed 1st round that Bonnie clearly took thanks to a gang of versatile, witty and spitfire punches, the two battlers kept it close in the latter stages. A more condensed Star Smilez, mixing it up and hitting more proficiently with brazen (“If I told a bitch I was gonna slap her, everybody around her would’ve ducked!”) personals, fiery schemes, witty barbs and gritty punchlines did enough against a less consistent Bonnie to force a draw in round 2, before edging round 3 with another punch-heavy turn that with the help of Bonnie directing so many bars towards her peer, allowed this battle to end in a draw.

Verdict: Debatable

Favorite line: Bonnie Godiva – “How the fuck you work at Best Buy and got a Home Depot swag?!”

40 B.A.R.R.S. defeats Star Smilez

by

Recap: Nice, strong and punch-worthy effort from Star Smilez in this 3-rounder from QOTR. But a prepared 40 B.A.R.R.S. is capable of beating anyone on any given day, as shown here with the Boston femcee flexing throughout via some superlative wordplay, boastful barbs, gritty sexual accolades, head-ringing personals and piercing punchlines to take the latter two rounds for the win after getting edged in the 1st.

Verdict: 40 B.A.R.R.S. (W) 2-1

Favorite line: 40 B.A.R.R.S. – “Run up on Star with that left, i ain’t looking for no autograph!”
