ZigZag

B. Magic defeats Zig Zag

by

Recap: Almost always intense and hardbody with the raps, but never lacking when it comes to effort, in this 1-rounder from Hunger Gamez, it’s good to see Zig Zag display some wit with the long flag-pull at the end of his round. However, an up-n-down and a bit long-winded run by Mr. Zag combined with an on-point, clean and prolific with the flexing punchlines B. Magic. allows the St. Louis battler to score the win.

Verdict: B. Magic (W) 1-0

Favorite line: B. Magic – “I will put my whole palm on ya bitch ass, plus we knew you wasn’t gonna ride from the gate like Six Flags!”

Zig Zag defeats Nunn Nunn

by

Recap: Race angles against white battle rappers are usually par the course. But add some wit and spicy punchlines to the mix along with enough piercing personals/name flips/blazing gun bars and even against a punch-heavy, but slightly less versatile Nunn Nunn, in a 1-rounder you can squeak out a win like Zig Zag does here.

Verdict: Zig Zag (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Zig Zag – “You think I’m here to question your gangster or if you racist?, I got a question that’s way more valid…like why the fuck do white people put raisins in they potato salad!”

Zig Zag defeats Kid Chaos

by

Recap: Competitive 3-rounder between Zig Zag and Kid Chaos showcased, amongst other things, the latter’s conversational and unorthodox style of rap which lit the scoreboard when it came to piercing schemes and head-ringing personals/set-ups. But after a debatable 1st round, Zig Zag’s haughty linguistics would suddenly become enamored via a spitfire, wordplay-nice, gun bar-heavy and punch-lit 2nd round (that Chaos spiritually challenged and might’ve edged if not for one too many bars directed at one of his peers in the crowd), before Zag also takes a 3rd round, that while equal on haymakers goes Zig’s way thanks to less filler.

Verdict: Zig Zag (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Zig Zag – “I know you wrote over the time limit, me too nigga, we going minute for minute, so for 3 rounds you can watch a Kid [called] Chaos Dennis the Menace!”

Lexx Luthor defeats ZigZag

by

Recap: ZigZag’s frenetic (“Give him that rip, and then snatch his drive, I’ll Repo Lexx!”) shots at mayhem wreck havoc at times, but in the long run can’t keep up with Lexx Luthor’s witty (“Listen, travel-size Jadakiss!”) personals, unique wordplay stylings and astute Pokeman shiners in this PG matchup from Smack..

Verdict: Lexx Luthor (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Lexx Luthor – “Y’all seen Small Soldiers?, I’m about action, figures I’d be punching out the box!”

Young Kannon defeats Zig Zag

by

Recap: Zig Zag deserves props for a very solid performance here, spitting a load of mean bars with some delicious (“I’ll grab ya bitch, poke her, then use ya baby as the bargaining chip!”) gun lines/wordplay that was matched by his aggressive showing. But just as fierce with his bars and a little better overall with his wordplay and (“Fuck Zig Zag, get left in the backwoods for the raw paper!”) name flips, the always reliable Young Kannon was also a bit more consistent with his darts, thus managing to edge thsi one-rounder from Body Bag Battle League.

Verdict: Young Kannon (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Young Kannon – “Cuz in Chicago you gotta be thoro, fuck if you a legend, they’ll still paint ya face like the Prodigy mural!”

ZigZag defeats JMorr

by

Recap: A competitive one-rounder with a lot of mayhem, rich metaphors, fierce gun lines and fierce punchlines dished from both battlers sees a more consistent ZigZag, especially when it came to the personals, edge this one out over JMorr.

Verdict: ZigZag (W) 1-0

Favorite line: ZigZag – “I’ll put one to they head [bwoh!] knock off dreds like they fucking fake…that just mean our extensions is different!”

ZigZag defeats J Dose

by

Recap: A robust ZigZag literally wilds out, dishing extended clips, residual (“Even if the medal ain’t round, you still getting beat…I love Go-go!”) shiners and flexing wordplay on a filler-drenched J Dose, who still after all these years later can’t survive the Math bars, much less the fake hand shakes.

Verdict: ZigZag (W) 3-0

Favorite line: ZigZag – “I got screws loose, I’m naturally with the shit…no prune juice!”

Bedaffi Green defeats Zig Zag

by

Recap: Bedaffi Green hits with more than enough punches/name flips in the first two rounds to take this battle from a mostly staid Zig Zag. But what impresses most is Green’s ability to ably get through a 3rd round, he claimed didn’t write for, without any slip-ups, much less a choke.

Verdict: Bedaffi Green (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Bedaffi Green – “My rap fashion sound like the Future, my flow Designer [Desiigner] like that!”

Zig Zag and Drugz [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: Going up against a strong-arm display of piercing (“[Bwoh!] I got that shit in Durham, nigga’s in Greensboro was like ‘You heard that?!'”) gun bars and flexing personals from Drugz for 3 rounds, after surviving a couple of slip-ups in round 1, Zig Zag for the most part dumps the resident name flips and with two rounds of quality-equipped punchlines and ripping mayhem, comes back with enough heat to edge the 2nd round before an equal amount of haymakers from both battlers makes this one a draw.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Zig Zag – “If I raise the stick, I bet it’ll change his tone, I’m a vocal coach!”

Zig Zag defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: In what was a close and gritty punchfest from both battlers, a cleaner-flowing and more consistently spicy Zig Zag gets the win over Bill Collector in this 1-rounder from Body Bag Battle League.

Verdict: Zig Zag (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Zig Zag – “Where the money Bill?, and I’m a need the answer soon, or you gonna see these animals on ya head…think Daniel Boone!”

Glueazy defeats ZigZag

by

Recap: Both Glueazy and ZigZag spit a load of hot/braggadocio lines in this fiery one-rounder from Lyrical Gladiators. But a slow start of ZigZag and Glueazy’s more consistent shiners, gets the latter the win.

Verdict: Glueazy (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Glueazy – “The gun will shoot, so I’m asking what you wanna do, ‘cuz it don’t have to be Christmas to see a white man on ya mother’s roof!”

Teewhy defeats Zigzag

by

Recap: Traphouse up-n-comers Teewhy and ZigZag duke it out for 3 salacious rounds with Teewhy more whimsical (“He food, he brake fast [breakfast] then a [dinner] nigga was ate!”; “I’ll never lose to no faggot, and we all know zigzags ain’t straight!”) bars and less filler edging the 1st round (despite some dope [“You’ll get the shotgun, but this here Bud, when I squeeze, it’ll pop seeds like I’m feeding the lawn!”] performance bars from his opponent) and a more charged-up and (“You don’t pay attention, so I ain’t register nothing!”) pronounced  ZigZag taking the 2nd. Solid round by both battlers in the 3rd, but Teewhy gets a dub with continuously aggressive wordplay upstaged with a better consistency.

Verdict: Teewhy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Teewhy -“I’ll pop chins like a Chinese father, nigga…apparently!”
