Tone Bone

B. Magic defeats Tone Bone

by

Recap: 1-rounder from Street Status comes with a dope mini-doc attached to it beforehand that came with nice footage on the St. Louis as well as a pair of insightful interviews with B. Magic and Tone Bone on their upbringing along with thoughts on the battle which itself was mostly one-sided as besides Bone winning the crowd over at times with some mocking personals and witty barbs, in comparison to Magic’s fleet of stifling 4-bar set-ups and stinging punchlines/wordplay, this one wasn’t that close.

Verdict: B. Magic (W) 1-0

Favorite line: B. Magic – “If you think you Heaven Sent like Keisha Cole, you’ll catch a couple off guard like the ‘Cheater’ show!”

Tone Bone and (QP) Qleen Paper (DEBATABLE)

by

Recap: Proving once again that consistently taking battle rap seriously is still not an objective, Qleen Paper gives us yet another shady performance in a battle he should’ve easily won against Tone Bone. To think, he actually edged round with a variety of jokes and some solid punchlines versus mostly standard lines from Mr. Bone. But then in a move that totally came outta left field, Qleen literally gives away his 2nd round by letting new BFF QP spit for more than half the round–bars that wouldn’t even counted if they were dope considering that another man spit them. Last round finds Qleen serving up more style points than substance, allowing Bone to take advantage with a better delivery, despite having nothing all that spectacular to say, the effort alone makes for a debatable…smh.

Verdict: Tone Bone (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Qleen Paper – “I tried to instruct him, but he was lost from the first step like an A.I. defender”
