Recap: If this 3-round, LABattleGroundz battle was just about jokes, Cali Smoov would’ve had this one easy as those racial angles he took with the quips were often hilarious. Unfortunately for Cali tho, outside of showing off his funny bone there really wasn’t much else he could bring to the table in terms of a robust punch game, leaving opponent Stricc, armed with a shitload of consistently nasty punchlines, some head-ringing wordplay, righteous struggle bars and his own slew of hitting personals, with a working man’s 30.
Verdict: Stricc (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Stricc – “Nothing stands out about you squares, I’m color-blind with a Rubik cube!”
Recap: Thanks to a couple of no-shows, UK grime/battle rapper Dialect and Math Hoffa end up going at it in this one-rounder, with what’s alleged to be only 3 days prep. For Math, that’s astutely going in vet mode, what with a solid turn of acute name (“Now Dialect, let me put you on trial a sec, this bar court, your name’s ‘Dialect, so you know what that kinda says? you all talk!”) flips, potent wordplay and festive bully bars, For Dialect, that’s mostly hit-or-miss jokes, a couple of stumbles and more than a minute of grime rapping…that kept the crowd’s attention anyway, but didn’t do much else.
Verdict: Math Hoffa (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Math Hoffa – “Fuck Dialect, ‘cuz Math is universal amongst the languages!”
Recap: Well, here’s something you almost never see: a battle rapper (in this case, Jey The Nitewing) choking in all 3 rounds, thus affording a pretty solid punching (esp. during an extra dope 2nd round) and witty at times L.S. Da Zombie a bodybag in this For MCs By MCs P.I.N. 2 Tourney.
Verdict: L.S. Da Zombie (W) 3-0
Favorite line: L.S. Da Zombie – “Bullets coming out at night [Nite], they nocturnal!”
Recap: I guess we can pardon DNA for suddenly getting so biblical on us, what with Th3 Saga also being a member of NWX. Still, another good match nonetheless for the battle rap vet giving yet another relative newcomer a shot in Bullpen Battle League’s Loso. First round sees DNA win pretty handily, dispensing a steady and scintillating flow filled with requisite gun bars and gritty (“If the cops come we must stash the can, Mister Pringle’s!”) punches that more than outshined a nice at times, but filler-drenched turn from Loso. With plenty of momentum gained from a stellar 1st round, it’s more of the same in the 2nd with DNA continuing to dish with hard-pressing (“The ratchet lovely, stunt double, you don’t want action from me!”) gun bars along with potent punches that more than hit their mark. And while Loso stepped it up to deliver a (“We only care that you cookie ‘cuz you around the shooter, you Aiesha Curry!”) very solid round mixed with comedic darts along with hitting (“When Gun Titles pressed you at that first battle, you was looking real fake man, now I know you good at improvising off the top, but how so quickly you came up with an escape plan?!”) personals, it still wasn’t enough to be beat DNA’s more steady heat. Catching a fade of religion and literally speaking to the aforementioned Saga on the phone halfway through the 3rd round, a shaky at times DNA still manages to pontificate and get off whatever point he was trying to make towards his opponent. Still, with a barrage of more hard (“Wanna know what we yawning for? because every battle you pull out a new gun, but that’s not what we meant when we said go back to the drawing board!”) personals and some excellent wordplay, Loso easily salvages the last round and avoids the 3-0.
Verdict: DNA (W) 2-1
Favorite line: DNA – “Mad noise when shooting, ask Mase, you couldn’t pass the King Los at a Bad Boy reunion!”
Recap: Harlem’s T-Rex comes all the way out to Brooklyn to give local up-n-comer Dizzy Spadez a shot and the result is about what you’d expect as after a solid (“We could shoot it out or we could fight, I got [swings hand] a hook for everybody like French Montana!”) start by Spadez, the 2nd half of his round is distinctively porous, giving him no chance in this one-rounder against Rex’s gritty street (“I’ll bury him, have blood shooting out of his head like water on the whales at the aquarium!”) bars and drug talk.
Verdict: T-Rex (W) 1-0
Favorite line: T-Rex – “I’m different my nigga, this is a DOT world, and I want the Power so I might gotta go get the Tommy ‘cuz I highly [hardly] get my hands on that white girl!”
Recap: Never been a fan of 2-rounders, but this one’s still fire what with R Streetz spitting hot (“The clip curved, I gotta load it sideways, it’s the big heat so it hook from the side…like strippers to make end’s meet!”) punches and schemes at will in round one to easily beat back a pretty pedestrian turn by opponent Jynx da Don. That wouldn’t be the end of it tho as Jynx turned up in the second round, punching and landing with flat-footed urban theater that scored with the quickness, just enough to take the round over another solid turn by sturdy Mr. Streetz.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Jynx Da Don – “A round in the streets, that’s probably a sewer nigga, if I put a round in Streetz, he’ll probably sue a nigga!”
Recap: If you can pardon all the gassing, petty crowd interruptions and mobile phone distractions, Moon versus O-mega, a battle between a couple of older vets is a worth see, what with its bent on old-school dynamics, ill personals, fire punchlines and rigid gun bars. A Moon rebuttal edges him a close round one, before O-mega comes back with more haymakers in a turned-up round 2 to split things going into the final round. It’s a solid turn for both battlers in the 3rd with more of their braggadocio street talk along with heated punches, but a more consistent and versatile Moon gets this one.
Verdict: Moon (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Moon – “You trying to get aggressive with me, nigga that’s a foul that’s flagrant, you rather try to set up a trap house across the street from the home of an FBI agent!”
Recap: Tho a little repetitive towards the end, the steady dishes of (“I’ll pop a few, I’ll let it fire in front of your family like I was cooking Hibachi food!”) mayhem and salacious name flips from Benji Lolo was certainly capable enough to warrant a win in this one-rounder versus Pep. However, along with a nice rebuttal, a palette of mean personals along with enough experience to save himself from a slip-up or twp, Pep’s overall ability to entertain with rapid punches and righteous indignation at his opponent’s more gritty bars during his turn allows for this one to go down as a split.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Pep – “The difference between when you and I rap, these nigga’s is 100 percent sure that these is my rhymes!”
Recap: Crazy, dope PG battle between Fettuccine20 and Jakkboy Maine has it all: hot (Fetty: “Yeah, I Bugs on the mic, but my monsters will shoot this place up like Space Jam!”) bars aplenty, stifling wordplay, nice rebuttals, pointed disses at each other’s girl, gas masks, jaunty (Jakkboy: “What you gonna say? ‘Fettuccine, Linguini…’ then I cut him and keep hooking, like pre-cooking, ‘cuz when shit’s boil, hen you crush them all!”) set-ups, potent schemes, fiery (Fetti: “So throwing up your fist at me is sort of a slap in the face, I’m mad harder, bad barber, I’ll give you a bald head of you ask for the fade!”) gun bars, lofty sound effects and if all that wasn’t enough, a couple of dance moves just in case you needed a little more. But who won the battle? Gonna have to go here with Mr. Maine, who certainly earned this one over a valiant and resilient Fetti, one-upping his opponent on (“Hey, what’s your equation?, state it and maybe you won’t hold the thoughts, the beef with me different and don’t nobody try it like Stroganoff!”) haymakers, performance and versatility, Jakkboy manages to edge the latter two rounds and probably would’ve had a tooclose 1st if not for a few too many wasted bars directed at DNA.
Verdict: Jakkboy Maine (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Jakkboy Maine – “So cut it out, I was young, dummy and dubbs, so what the fuss about?, just bugging out, and when mom’ said beat the streetlights home, I’d bust them out!”
Recap: Mostly lackluster battle between Jai and K-Shine on the Udubb stage features bad impressions, plenty of filler, K-Shine taking a round off and Jai catching a bout of Earl in round 3, which along with Shine’s more titillating (“That’s banging on sight [site] like Backpage!”) bars in round 1 essentially serves as the difference-maker.
Verdict: K-Shine (W) 2-1
Favorite line: K-Shine – “Glock-9, mean laser, —-, bean chaser, act out, nigga, I done backed out more than Qleen Paper!”
Recap:NOME 6 matchup between Chess and Ave contains almost all the formalities needed for a standout battle: 3 close, competing rounds, a classic 1st round from Ave, relentless punchlines after punchlines, well-loaded gun bars, fiery name flips, aggressive performances and stinging personals that weren’t just limited to each other, but other battler’s as well. Chess, confident and gritty from jump with not only the aforementioned palette mixed in his raps, but also a wide load of young nigga strife and well-versed struggle bars, would make Ave work for his throughout this battle. The young God coming through with a spitfire and (“He gave Mike P the butt of the .50, so he could see how Vivica feel, well this 50 got a Best Friend, he’s singin’ with Olivia still!”) seismic 2nd round after a pretty solid effort in the 1st, that just didn’t have near enough consistency and potency to beat back a haymaker-drenched turn by his opponent. Tied going into the 3rd round, both battlers would turn up the heat, punching with dizzying efficiency, boastful barbs and spicy personals that kept the bout suspenseful. But a surprisingly more condensed Ave would prove to be better in the end, taking the round with a just-as-versatile and steadier turn that was also more lit on (“That gun play ain’t just chatter, I will clap that fucker, come out the Cave wit’ the trey [tray], I feel like Batman butler!”) haymakers.
Verdict: Ave (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Ave – “How he gon’ beat me?, ‘cuz if he disrespecting space in-between us, he gon’ see more than my punches on these stages, the meanest, I’m finna show this, if I hit him in his face they ain’t swingers, niggas soft behind the counter, he like Ace at the cleaners!”
Recap: Bad Newz puts a hit on Shotgun Suge, welcoming the Jersey veteran to the Bullpen Battle League with plenty of fiery personals, sturdy gun bars, potent name flips, some dope wordplay and gritty punchlines. And while Suge hung in there throughout with his own plate of residual mayhem, besides a debatable 1st round, News’ more consistent effort and versatility proved to be too much for Shotgun to take on in the latter rounds.
Verdict: Bad Newz (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Bad Newz – “Fuck ya squad, a bunch of fake Crips that backstab ya and switch friends, my team loyal, nothing’s uneven here, we split ends!”
Recap: ‘What do I know, I just got Charlie Clips in a year’. Ummm yeah, apparently Detroit emcee Shotti P is doing something right, because besides this battle I hadn’t heard much from him before. Yet, here he is on the KOTD stage against the likes of Clips…in what ended up being literally a debatable battle. 1st round goes to Clips…easy, what with sizzling (“Y’all know me, I roll with two guns, pay attention, I got one tucked, I’m Mario when he get the extra man…I [points hand up] keep one up!”) set-ups/schemes, a fiery and consistent flow and scheming (“Maybe it’s only me, but you look like you sit on the toilet for a half an hour straight and only pee!”) bars that lit fires in your belly. Still, the 3rd round went to Shotti P…easy, not that Clips delivering yet another 3rd round dropoff helped any, yet that doesn’t dismiss Shotti’s jaunty (“Naw, fuck that I ain’t looking for a cop-out like his pop’s did, I ain’t with the politics, you’ll get caught smoking like one of Barack’s kids!”) personals and nice comedic timing. Second round is the deciding factor and could either way with Shotti’s spitfire (“You got s mean gun? well I got a depressed .38 like a midlife crisis!”) bars and wordplay versus a little more diverse turn from Clips that landed heavy with potent storytelling bars, searing (“…but if I ain’t feeling your Styles P, then huh!, I make you Kiss the gun!”) puns and rich crowd-pleasers.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Shotti P – “When a shotty [Shotti] smoking, it’ll lift a nigga spirit like ‘Great News!’“
Recap: Even with shorter rounds and better overall (“Broad daylight, let’s Tango and catch one to the head!”) bars, thanks to a first round choke and two slip-ups and an arguable choke in round 3, Shotgun Suge still manages to lose this matchup to the bar-deficient, but always (“One shot will flush his whole system like green tea!”) feisty and more performance-heavy E Ness.
Verdict: E Ness (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Shotgun Suge – “A sharp rifle will split his tea, he don’t put no noise behind them words like Mr. Bean!”
Recap: Even in front of a Don’t Flop crowd that seemed enamored with just about anything a mostly subpar Tony D spit, Pat Stay still survives his opponent’s hometown fans as well as his own knack for pedestrian bars (in what altogether was a pretty tedious battle) with just enough hitting braggadocio bars, random jokes, witty punchlines and stinging personals to pull off the win.
Verdict: Pat Stay (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Pat Stay – “You thought that Marvwon shit was rough, know what rhymes with Autism Awareness Month?…who gives a fuck!”
Recap: Both Jade and McFresh unload on each other with a gang of gritty punches and salacious personals in this competitive, inter-gender matchup from We Go Hard. But after the two split the opening rounds, despite another solid turn by McFresh, Jade’s more rigid name flips and consistently spicy/witty punchlines gets her the win.
Verdict: Jade (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Jade – “It’s plain to see that I’m top-heavy, that’s why I’m back spazzing!”
Recap: A. Ward and Real Deal put on a dope, competitive and punchline-lit match for a KOTD crowd that stayed enthralled throughout. The newbie Ward kept it aggressive and fiery for the entire battle, while displaying excellent showmanship, piercing punchlines, witty zingers and salacious personals. And while Real Deal also helped himself to a bag of stifling personals, the gym teacher/battle rapper would also come through with plenty of jaunty sport bars, Christian-laced darts, boastful barbs and shrewd set-ups/wordplay. A matchup that was also littered in white culture references as well as a couple of nice rebuttals from each side, after a slightly punch-heavier Ward took the 1st round, the more haymaker-friendly Real Deal edges both of the latter rounds for the win.
Verdict: Real Deal (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Real Deal – “You got me fucked up…like Jesus Christ in every depiction!”
Recap: After a debatable first round, a high-energy and confident Krucial Ken steps it up on the gritty punchlines, lucid gun bars and fire wordplay to take the last two rounds and out duel an overall solid, but too-oft-porous Diesel in this punch-heavy West-coast PG battle.
Verdict: Krucial Ken (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Krucial Ken – “I’m a smoke Diesel and get on Smack, he a gateway drug!”
Recap: Albeit, Brixx Belvy got off to s slow start in round one, it’s still nice mix of (Xcel: “I could run up on him, give him 90, just because Belvedere ain’t been popping since the 90s!”) name flips, wordplay and hard ( Brixx: “I got a round from Loso, clearly you heaven bound, I’ll squeeze it then repeat it before I die, like wedding vows!”; “That sweeper will lift a couple off they feet, then they settle down!”) punchlines from both Brixx and Xcel throughout this lowkey, but bar-heavy matchup. So the difference here? When Xcel gets (S.O.N.S.?, y’all on that daughter shit, I’ll shoot a son faster than Marvin Gaye father did!”) personal, especially during an otherwise close round 3, which ended up being the deciding factor after they split the first two rounds.
Verdict: Xcel (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Xcel -“Killing rappers ain’t new shit, I could’ve took Brixx [bricks] out in the jungle like Frank Lucas!”
Recap: In a one-round battle to decide who’s the best, well-dressed (Prep: “Let’s be honest, they ain’t book this matchup to compare styles…they wanna see H&M versus Men’s Warehouse!”) battle rapper, Prep uses a gang of stinging punchlines and robust freestyles (at his opponent and even crowd members such as a seemingly tipsy Drugz) to beat back a (“See, I don’t think that you gay Prep, I think that you try to be!”) solid, but overall too prone to pedestrian bars, Spanish Harlem.
Verdict: Prep (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Prep – “Only time we lining up for Spanish rap [wrap]…Chipotle!”
Recap: One round of predominantly nasty gun bars because after all he is the ‘Gun Bar King’. Then a classic round 2nd of mostly mean, disrespectful zingers to show that, yunno, he could do what the other guy’s known to do and sometimes even better. And finally a 3rd round with a boatload of gritty punchlines and personals to remind you of his versatility and why he’s in everyone Top 10. And in an away game on a stage where his opponent also happened to be the co-league owner, for Tay Roc (while an aggressive and pretty solid Arsonal had his moments, esp. when he was taking shots at Tsu Surf and Shotgun Suge, during the battle), after a debatable 1st round, it doesn’t get much better than this.
Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Tay Roc – “Nah, this ain’t no Tay Roc versus legend shit, this me vs. a bitch…look like we running for President!”
Recap: Some early points on this battle: 1) This would’ve been a debatable classic if not for the Tsu Surf’s choke in round 3, 2) Surf has to do a better job at handling crowd reactions, it’s something every battle rapper has to deal with and ever since the 2-on-2 battle with Surf & Tay Roc vs. K-Shine & DNA, we’ve noticed that Surf has a hard time dealing with interruptions and 3) Yes, as Loaded Lux proved versus Calicoe, you can still win a battle even with a choke. That being said, this one clearly comes down to the first round as what was setting up to be a dope 3rd round (what with a great start by Surf) got deflated by two slip-ups by the Jersey vet before the aforementioned choke. So all Top had to do was deliver a solid, slip-up free turn, which he did with some hard personals and an ill (“Battle two times a month and you fucking up on your verses, Ha!”) Juvenile impression that showed off Top’s lowkey comical side. 2nd round easily belonged to Surf, despite a dope (tho elongated) turn from Top, it’s a confident Tsunami who dials up a blueprint on how to beat Top what with potent angles on Top’s trap house (“If we gonna rap, let’s rap, only what’s true nigga, like how your mother was on smack waaaayyy before you nigga!”; “She smoked your stash, that’s why you don’t fuck with ya mother!”) duplicity as well as righteous haymakers that more than hit their mark. Onto the first round where the only debate lies, what with both Surf and Top bringing their A-game and landing hard with winsome bars and steely street chatter. A close round with an equal amount of haymakers from each, it’s Surf who edges it with more creative angles, flawless flow, fire punches, a slightly better performance and more originality (in what added up to be a classic) in that Top may’ve bitten a couple of shiners from fellow adversaries Math Hoffa (the ‘Plies’ bar} and Tay Roc (the ‘Spic-n-span’ bar), the latter of whom, ironically, was on stage at the battle. So while the choke in all likelihood prevents this battle from being a contender for ‘Battle of the Year’, this spitfire matchup does nothing to take away from each battler’s top tier status.
Verdict: Tsu Surf (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Tsu Surf – “Custodian after school, walking with a mop, Earl Manigualt, i could knock a quarter outta Top!”
Recap: Jersey legend versus Jersey legend meet up for the 1st time in Cali of all places with longtime vets Arsonal and Serius Jones going at it for 3 rambunctious rounds. Edge the first round to Arsonal, who with a more well-rounded turn that featured his usual panache of extra-disrespectful bars and aggressive heaters, beat back a lofty, but less gripping turn by Jones. Highlighted by a well-thought-out freestyle that a seemingly bored Arsonal brought onto himself by literally doing push-ups in the middle of the round, a more polished Jones also turned it up a notch with some banging punches to even things up. Clearly more intent on winning than his opponent as the battle continued, Jones stayed proper and matched his ever-cocky swag with more consistently fiery darts, whether they were righteous pontifications or well-aimed personals that more than landed to get the edge over a albeit funny at times, but not as consistently nice turn from da Rebel.
Verdict: Serius Jones (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Serius Jones – “And you could do push-ups, but that ain’t gonna help you at all bro, what you need to do is pull-ups because you need to get in tune with your bars bro!”
Recap: Goodz, arguably the most dangerous 1-round opponent in battle rap, proves why again, beating back a ripping and pretty solid turn by Shotgun Suge with a variety of spicy/witty personals, flippant boasts, rich storytelling, piercing name flips/punchlines and stifling 4-bar-set-ups to win this Time Is Money battle.
Verdict: Goodz (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Goodz – “My voice gets your bitch box wet, that’s why she checks my flow!”
Recap: Having more haymakers doesn’t always win battles and doing too much can make you lose battles. Case in point here with Jerry Wess versus a returning-to-the-Smack-stage Tech-9 in what overall was a pretty entertaining and close battle that was pretty much decided in the 3rd. 1st round went to Tech, who overcame a solid and (“…all he gonna see is the Tommy with the dagger, look like I’m calling for the Dragonzord!”) hot at times, but also a little convoluted/porous turn by Wess, with a standing tutorial on proper battle rap ethos that was assisted by witty (“You should’ve been a gardener, your flowers would’ve been the best one’s out!”) barbs, stinging performance bars and stretched-out punches that made their mark. 2nd round saw a performance-heavy Jerry Wess get more linear with his flow, thus sparking an at times boastful, but mostly spitfire barrage of (“Mr. Bean with gonorrhea…I’m dumb fire!”; “They mad I got to the URL hella fast…I got FIOS nigga!”) punches that altogether managed to edge Tech-9’s solid, but less-potent turn. An entertaining 3rd round from both battlers sees Wess get busy with a personal-heavy turn that was both (“He battled O-Solo and guess who loss that one?…Jersey!”) witty and set-up crazy. However, while Jerry’s round was more finessed to tailor his opponent’s past (albeit with a crowd-surfing move that would come back and bite him), a slightly more versatile, rebuttal/freestyle-dropping, (“Face shot, now he sound like Big T sleeping!”) braggadocio and still performance-drenched Tech-9 edges the round by a nose to get the win.
Verdict: Tech-9 (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Tech-9 – “Y’all thought I was dead, but your boy is back, back in the building, I was never dead, y’all should’ve checked my coffin, it had scratches on the ceiling!”
Recap: Nice, close battle between Charlie Clips and Ill Will that could’ve been a lot better if it weren’t for some recycled bars/dry spots by Clips and plenty of filler from Will. Things started off great in round one with both battlers bringing their A-games. A cohesive Clips came nice with feisty set-ups/schemes and dope (“I be in my crib with all types of guns, in a heavy zone, today should I go with the .4 or the .9, I feel like Jerry Jones!”) punchlines that scored aplenty, while making up for a couple of recycled bars from his battle with JC. But the always aggressive Will came one better, starting out with an ill rebuttal to Clips’ ending ‘Kermit’ line and despite a handful of pedestrian bars, more than enough haymakers to take the round. Round two was more of the same…from Will, crazy performance bars, intense (“I’ll let ya uncle feel [Phil] the right, nah he don’t want these hands, then you’ll see Clips from Will’s pops like Why he don;t want me man!“) wordplay that hit hard and feelgood (“Why did you become a vegan awhile ago and you getting fatter?!”) personals that more than rubbed the funny bone–easily enough to beat a mostly dry turn from Clips and take the first two rounds. Thanks in part to Will Smith (who would’ve loved this battle considering how much his name and career was toyed with steady throughout) and an inconsistent Will, Clips managed to avoid getting 3-0’d, returning to basics with fiery schemes and potent (“Is Yaktown in this bitch? [points to dude in Will’s crew], you stand behind him because that’s your family nigga, well nigga’s die every day behind the wheel [Will] B, that’s word to Brandy nigga!”) bars to salvage the round and battle.
Verdict: Ill Will (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Ill Will – “Hit him with a cig, ‘notha cig like you need the cancer, if I come knocking with a lil Roscoe, you better let Gina answer!”
Recap: A tough one between Quban and Trey 30 with plenty of descriptive gun lines, stinging performance bars and gritty punchlines. Tied going into the 3rd, a spitfire turn by 30 is met by an equally potent turn by Quban and while 30 may’ve had a slightly more consistent flow, after somewhat of a slow start, Quban earns a debatable with some dope schemes and one more (“Oh, you street?, come and get a jumbo slice…then his head leak the sauce, yunno, the Mumbo type!”) haymaker.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Trey 30 – “Us battling makes no sense, like vegan’s beefing!”
Recap: Mistah F.A.B. does better this time. With really nowhere to go but up after a pretty disappointing effort against Arsonal, the Bay-area industry rapper’s 2nd appearance on the battle rap stage, here in a 1-rounder versus the renowned stylings of Charlie Clips, is for the most part pretty solid what with some heavy punches here and there mixed in with some nice schemes/personals. Still, way too many pedestrian bars from F.A.B. along with an opponent who pretty much stayed with his m.o. of fiery schemes, well-crafted lyrical heat, witty storylines and some hitting personals and freestyles delivered with plenty of moxie, makes for an easy win for Clips.
Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Charlie Clips – “Me and my nigga’s hiding out where ya sister be, I got a Hot 9 that go for nigga’s and bitches, for the record I let Mistah see [Mister C]!”
Recap: After literally (“New hammer, and I’m hoping there’s bucks in it like Christmas cards!”) spazzing on relative newcomer Rad B in round 1, DNA pretty much takes the 2nd round off while allowing his opponent to get turned up, dish some nice (“Head shot, like convo’s with old heads, it’ll pick ya mind!”) gun bars and even things up out. 3rd round is close as Rad’s pointed (“How the fuck is Eric gonna pass it down if it ain’t in his jeans [genes]?!”) personals and wordplay not only continue to excite, but makes up for a lot of pedestrian bars that made you wonder how he got a battle versus a vet like DNA in the first place. Still, a top of the round rebuttal, crazy (“If he don’t jet, I’m gonna give this G 5, unless something Tiny ring…T.I.!”) punchlines and a couple of sizzling personals/freestyles towards the finish allows to DNA to edge it.
Verdict: DNA (W) 2-1
Favorite line: DNA – “I’m about this, he’ll be dead soon as the pound spit, treat him just like his T-shirt, your nigga’s dying soon as that sound click!”
Recap: Against a mostly subpar and elongated Eulogy, T Top for the most part trades the trap talk for stinging name flips, syrupy punchlines/personals and bodacious gun bars, more than enough heat to easily take this 1-rounder from Wilmington N.C.Rap Battle League.
Verdict: T Top (W) 1-0
Favorite line: T Top – “I see your baby running around and I blast her in the face, the .40 left your daughter fucked, call it statutory rape!”
Recap: Because he supposedly ‘doesn’t even rhyme’ D.O.T. may be the easiest battle rapper to knock, but whatever, as his performance-heavy semantics which usually overshadows a barrage of fine understated (“If I reach, he’ll be running scared…Paul Walker!”) wordplay, are what really matters at the end of the day. So while opponent Hoodie Cruger stayed consistent with an aggressive flow and (“You’ll get something special from under my shirt…nigga I’ll polka dot [poke a dot]!”) shined at times, too much filler along with a higher bar quotient from D.O.T., gives the latter the win here in this one-rounder from IGrind Battle League.
Verdict: D.O.T. (W) 1-0
Favorite line: D.O.T. – “Soon as I back out, turn him to Yung Joc…just a nigga with his wig blown out!”
Recap: Being a comedian isn’t just about being funny, it’s also about timing–as in delivery, how you interact with an audience, rhythm, pausing, etc. Indeed, having great comedic timing often separate’s the greats from the so-so’s and the never-will’s. That said, Bonnie Godiva is a battle rapper who has shown at times during battles that she can be funny. While Carter Deems is a comedian who also happens to be a battle rapper. So if you’re a battle rapper facing a person who doubles as comedian and comedy isn’t really a part of your ammo, you might be better off sticking to your usual game plan instead of doing something you’re not used to doing. Not that Bonnie (at her best here when she deftly played the desired gf to Carter’s simp ‘character’) didn’t have some witty moments here against Deems while also spouting those aggressive darts she’s known for. But 3 topsy-turvy turns from Bonnie plus Deems ability to dish nifty punchlines, rich storytelling that heightened the effect of his jokes, nuanced personals, self-deprecating humor and thematic role-playing that excellently embodied his nerdy persona ran enough circles around his opponent to earn him a 30.
Verdict: Carter Deems (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Carter Deems – “She’ll turn on her squad for the diamond like Michael did in ’94!”
Recap: J Morr comes nice with a gang of nifty punchlines, but a combo of too many slip-ups, political bars that went nowhere and a way-too-gritty King Moneyy–flexing throughout his one round with statuesque hood tales, salacious gun bars and potent punches that shook the room–was just too much for Morr in the end.
Verdict: King Moneyy (W) 1-0
Favorite line: King Moneyy – “You always talking about guns, you ever shoot bitch?, I’m stupid, I’ll hit you in the heart with a bow and arrow while bumping ‘Cupid’…with one .12 [112] just in case that bow and arrow don’t do shit!”
Recap: Another solid (“This queer try with me, pure irony, fuck apologies, I mean why would I patch things up when I could give him more A-Rs [ARs] than a weird pirate speech!”) turn by Craig Lamar gets upended by a more (“Bitch, I’ll lift the .4 like a Simpson waving!”) potent and versatile flow of spitfire bars/schemes from JC, who easily takes the first couple of rounds with confident and consistent (“Y’all see why I don’t debate with these nigga’s?, it’s not worth it, nigga’s will still criticize the form if the shot perfect!”) ether, before getting edged out to a more cohesive and (“Big Red how I toss the coward, then hang him off the tower, like ‘Yeah little nigga, what’s my office hours?!’“) thematic Lamar in round 3.
Verdict: JC (W) 2-1
Favorite line: JC – “But since you still here, I don’t believe in this clip stuff, how you squeeze and let clips bust?, I’m waiting, I got scary patience, Gary Payton, the first nigga [throws fist like punch] sneak will get zipped up!”
Recap: Minnix raps twice as long as Prez Mafia, catches him on his B-game and dispenses a lot of filler…still it’s a close battle that if not for a mid-round stumble by Mafia along with Minnix dishing one more haymaker than his opponent, might’ve went the other way around or at the very least could have been a debatable.
Verdict: Minnix (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Minnix – “There’s nothing that you could ever do to test Joshua, I’ll take your verses and spit it back to you…I’m Prez Mafia!”
Recap: When your opponent doesn’t seem to understand the use of non-personals and gritty metaphors, much less has the gall to spit lame lines like ‘And I’m great like Alexander’, you know (esp. if you’re a URL rapper) that the battle has the potential to be a bodybag…and Tink da Demon does just that, dishing, from jump, hardbody (“Scream RIP to PH as I spark his pumpkin!”) punches, soul-snatching wordplay and a steady mix of fiery (“This gonna be overkill till the kill over!”) bars to take out a clearly overmatched Xman Xcon.
Verdict: Tink da Demon (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Tink da Demon – “I drown a chicken in warm water and bring a bird back!”
Recap: Never let it be said that Wooda Black doesn’t love his (“Scope out, I got a good view of the ratchet, you gonna get some more views when they viewing your casket!”) gun bars, which for the most part, were pretty decent, all the while making things competitive here in this one-rounder versus Xcel. Still, unless you’re amongst the elite of Gun Bar aficionados like a Tay Roc or a Rum Nitty, beating a wordsmith like (“My camp fire, you just storytelling, see why I just advocate for the piece [peace] then protest whatever war he selling!”) Xcel will take much more than 90% one-note gun lines.
Verdict: Xcel (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Xcel – “You got a resume, I got a hit-list, that’s different goals!”
Recap: After a rumored new contract and a pretty dope battle recently versus Mike P on Smack/URL, one wouldn’t be too pressed to think that Daylyt was finally done with the antics along with other on-stage nonsense he’s become renowned for and was back to taking battle rap seriously. Well, it was a nice thought anyway. As since the aforementioned battle, Daylyt has pulled a no-show against DNA and then puts forth this mess…clearly winning round one here against John John da Don with some fiery bars and nice (“…and the only reason you got labeled an all-star is because you show up to battles with Con verses!”) personals, before completely falling apart. First, Lyt quits midway during round 2 (a round he could’ve easily won as an erratic JJDD didn’t put forth his A-game till round 3) before stumbling hard in the final round and practically quitting again after a weak ‘freestyle’. Altogether, a pretty ugly 2-1 for JJDD.
Verdict: John John da Don (W) 2-1
Favorite line: John John da Don – I’m surprised you ain’t suck Drake dick to get them Views from the 6″
Recap: While the mostly raucous punches from Reverse Live made their mark throughout this No Coast Raps 3-rounder, a more versatile, wordplay/similie-lit and personals-heavy Real Deal delivers enough heat to take rounds 1 and 3 (call the 2nd debatable) and earn the win over his fellow Grind Time alumni.
Verdict: Real Deal (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Real Deal – “There’s always one awkward fat kid breaking the skinny jean rules!”
Recap: Featuring the birth of Chef Trez’s ‘3 of them things’, a boatload of elite gun lines, crazy performance bars, 3 consistently punch-heavy rounds from Ryda, some dizzying wordplay and a couple of Prez Mafia quotables, this PG matchup between (“Why Reepah Rell a nigga, when I could steal him and paint the whole face!”) the up-n-coming DMV battler and the returning-to-the-PGs Trez was dope till the end. Indeed, this was a close as for every terrific, punch-lit and bar savvy turn by Ryda, Trez would come right back with an aggressive and gritty turn that coupled with a handful of dope rebuttal’s/freestyle’s, kept him in the mix. This was especially highlighted by a sublime (“LeBron signing with Nike, I put a check on the witness!”; “Now they trying to figure out who killed the Chef…it’s like the Clue game!”) 2nd round by Ryda with so little filler that you wouldn’t be too off if you thought he had the round running away. But then, there was the Chef again, showing amazing poise, much less enough confidence in his pen (and brain) to meet his opponent at the end with enough hot boastful (“I feel like the cameraman with the Cheater show..I’ll catch him with the side piece!”; “100 rounds, let’s build a suspension, watch the drum roll!”) darts, freestyles and rebuts to edge the round. Ultimately tho, Ryda’s ability to stay on his opponent’s neck with stifling (“Head shot, flip the body, left the nigga San leaking like a hour glass!”) punchline after (“You a Chef, your occupation is to cook for other people’s pleasure, ain’t a secret food, but watch who you speaking too, ‘cuz Blood I’ll eat ya food!”) punchline, would be too much for even Trez as the La Familia capo’s contnuously fire wordplay/similes/personals during yet another haymaker-drenched turn, over what was a pretty solid and gripping round by Trez, would get him the win.
Verdict: Ryda (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You probably think you could hold a gun sideways and not miss a shot, well I’m honest, first time I gripped and popped, heart dropped, eyes closed…it felt like I was getting shot!”
Recap: Dildo’s, pussy checks, dope schemes, scathing personals, rich (Verb: “I’m doing this for every dope boy, that flew bags on hoes and when they jammed, none of them hoes showed up to his trial in court!”) storytelling bars and plenty of (Bonnie: “You just excited to see a bitch and ain’t gotta look in your reflection!”; “You see I’m colder with this, Ray Charles, I pick and roll from the wrist!”) haymakers from both sides equates to a highly entertaining battle between (“If you walk by the woods, niggas gonna mistake you and get they hunt on!”) Aye Verb and Bonnie Godiva on the RBE stage. However, overall a more consistent flow from Verb and too much filler/lame bars from Bonnie gives Verb rounds 1 and 3 and the win.
Verdict: Aye Verb (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Aye Verb – “Yeah [points to Bonnie’s crew] they cheering for you, but if I let this cannon [Canon] flash, bet none of these hoes gonna pose with you!”
Recap: WTF!?! After a near classic of a 1st round that saw both (“What y’all don’t know is Tsu Surf got him name from roller-blading, so you telling me you roller blade, moonwalk on skates and clap heat?!, nah that’s why I’m the shooter and driver, because Surf was always scared to get out the backseat!”) Shotgun Suge and (“Don’t ask me what my life like, nigga you already fucking know, savage shit, package flips, projects, pack of Crips, half a Grape, half a —, [bends down] on the knee with the .7…Colin Kaepernick!”) Tsu Surf bring their best heat and go toe-to-toe with hardbody punches, dizzing personals and sanguine gun bars throughout, out of nowhere Surf spoils this main event of a matchup by literally quitting on the battle in the 3rd round. Granted, from jump, there seemed to be plenty of tension (and a water bottle thrown from someone in Suge’s camp towards Surf’s entourage) on the stage what with two of New Jersey’s finest and former buddy’s going against each other after over a year of back and forth disrespect….bit still. Surf’s choice to chuck round 3 (after quitting halfway during a winnable 2nd round that had him seemingly hurting Shotgun’s feelings) was not only a huge let down, but was a serious disservice to himself, his opponent and most importantly of course, the fans.
Verdict: Shotgun Suge (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Shotgun Suge – “He ain’t never did shit, he who murdering? How the fuck you making mixtapes about Newark and your hood in Irvington!”
Recap: Chess versus Th3 Saga is like an hour long, but worth about every minute, especially if you appreciate not only a dope, competitive rap battle, but in this case the underlying themes of young, intellectual, urban street ethos vs. spiritual-laden Hip-Hop (sorta) elder statesman with a loaded dose of introspection to the bars. Then too, this battle stands out for presenting a rare case of having not just one, but two classic rounds in it. First, there’s Saga’s mega-lit 1st, an explosive turn that was littered with spicy faith-based punches and a load of head-ringing (“Steams, just make sure your man is good, boy my etiquette’s nice!”; “Pound Chess and throw him the deuce…Sammy Sosa!”) haymakers, making it not only a memorable turn, but unfortunately for Saga, a round so spitfire that he would have a hard time repeating as the battle proceeded.
And while, the ever-lyrical Chess came through with an opening round that contained enough (“A clip from these ratchets dumping will fuck you for life, like two girls with one cup!”) heaters to beat most opponent rounds, in this case there was just no way he’d have enough to overtake Saga’s unbridled heat. Round two saw Saga continue to bring it, tossing out real-life (“Talking about I don’t know the struggle when I was raised from it!”) shiners and fire schemes with focused abandon, but also an elongated turn that had a little more filler than his 1st. However, this wouldn’t matter in the long run as Chess would offer his own version of a classic round, actually getting better as the proceeded as proven here via a barrage of wicked (“Get dog-tagged, we’ll see who’s on top of the food chain when this man is neck-less [necklace]!”) wordplay, in-ya-face smack talk, witty barbs, steely (“Saga, why we gotta die to see heaven?”) rebuttals to his opponent’s spiritual-leaning adages and percipient dalliances on the (“Cutting squares out of the towel just to make extra washcloth’s!”) struggles within AnyHood, USA.
A highly competitive and spitfire battle going into the 3rd, while Saga again proved formidable in the final and deciding round with a solid showing of fiery (“Act up, and I’ll black and drag dog in a round like he stole from Martin!”) punchlines and potent darts, the Christian battle rapper would hurt himself a bit when he became too redundant with his themes ane too flagrant with his non sequitur’s (like comparing Chess’ rap style to Steams). On the other hand, Chess consistently stayed on point in round 3, mixing in some fire wit and personals themed around how much he didn’t want this battle, but more importantly, scoring endlessly with potent gun bars, gritty (“Fucking jerk-off, you really feeling yourself too much, you really willing to die for nothing!?!”) set-ups and more of that dope (“Nigga’s always swear they talk to me, but nobody see’s me, I’m an imaginary friend!”) wordplay to earn the win.
Verdict: Chess (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chess – “Get all 3 of y’all, bury DNA then replace T with K, that’s what I do to a bird, man [Birdman] respek [respect] it!”
Recap: The shitload of head nods alone should tell you that this one was a goodie as Bad Newz and Chef Trez go at it for 3 spitfire rounds on the Bullpen Battle League stage. The edge goes to Newz in round one, who even after a bit of a slow start and a consistently cooking turn from his opponent, uses the latter half of his turn to deliver righteous haymakers what with fire (“I’m that athlete on the bench in the suit, I did not come to play!”) punchlines, stinging wordplay and some aggressive personals. And even with Newz continuing to dish plenty of fiery punches in the middle round, it’s Trez who takes the 2nd with raucous gun lines, loaded schemes and some more fly (“The best gossiper, Newz not safe with me!”) name flips. Split going into the 3rd, both battlers stayed on point, with Chef sporting an entertaining/personal-heavy turn that even featured a game newscaster impression as well as some nice (“I do shit he can’t do and honestly nigga it’s over with bars, peep his shirt, you see the league right, why you put this bull over the stars?!”) freestyles that might’ve beaten most opponent’s if not for Bad Newz coming right back with a hardbody, street-savvy and wordplay/punch-lit round that mixed in with a couple of his own freestyles, allowed for a draw to the match.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Bad Newz – “Young nigga, with a lot of .40s, I’m where the cougars at!”
Recap: Scathing tutorials on his opponent’s personal like, a boatload of gritty punchlines, some witty darts and a gang of salacious gun bars allows Eazy the Block Capatin to handily beat back a personal-heavy and hitting at times (esp. in a condensed round 3 which helped earn her a debatable), but mostly pedestrian Shiest Raw in this entertaining 3-round intergender matchup from Step Your Ink Game Up.
Verdict: Eazy the Block Captain (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Eazy the Block Captain – “A clip for a bald head bitch, I’ll let it bang here [hair]!”
Recap: K-Shine uses gritty name flips and aggressive punchlines to make quick work of Shogun, who besides a nice ‘Victor Cruz’ gun bar line, didn’t really have much to offer here in this 1-rounder from iGrind Battle League.
Verdict: K-Shine (W) 1-0
Favorite line: K-Shine – “When my guys pull at him [Adams] it’s not Yolanda, once a dead body’s on the ground, it’s not Rwanda!”
Recap: Credit to E Ness for keeping this one close, edging the second round with more potent (“Come and get this ass-whipping you been running from, I ain’t gonna lay you on the slab, I’ll tuck you under one!”) bars after a pretty basic 1st that a poised (“You looking for a monster?, well I got this shit on lock Ness [lochness]”) B Magic steadily took advantage of. Still, after starting off solid, the choice for an elongated 3rd hurts Ness in the long run what with some bouncy filler towards the end as well as a bad impression of his opponent. Left to face a quick (“I’ll spit on ya grave, this shit scary like…like being in a group with Dylan!”) roundhouse of punches from Magic, it’s the St. Louis emcee who’s left standing tall.
Verdict: B Magic (W) 2-1
Favorite line: B Magic – “Trash nigga, I see Brenda baby is all grown up!”
Recap: This one-rounder between a couple of St. Louis spitters with a $1K on the line and Goodz hosting sees Hitman Holla use a barrage of gritty punchlines to make easy work of a slip-up prone KD.
Verdict: Hitman Holla (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Hitman Holla – “Don’t get me mad, I’m big-timing, strapped up, I’m big .9-ing. they find ya ass in the woods like you ziplining!”
Recap: Hosted by Mistah Fab from Rap Grid & Dope Era’s No Mask event in Oakland, this 1-rounder between Tsu Surf and T-Rex features your usual assortment of brazen street rhymes and gritty punches. However, helped a bit by Surf struggling with his flow to the point of stopping his round short, the more consistently-lit Rex gets the win.
Verdict: T-Rex (W) 1-0
Favorite line: T-Rex – “I’ll bring a ratchet on TV…I’m Peter Gunz!”
Recap: Ish Mulah vs. True Indeed on We Go Hard is nothing but a banger as the two battlers go off for 3 competitive rounds of mostly hard, gritty punchlines with nary any filler. A spazz-fest that also featured a gang of flexing wordplay, plenty of dope set-ups and a boatload of head-ringing heat/boastful barbs, it’s a more direct with the bars (indeed, True used way too many lines on dudes who weren’t his opponent), condensed and slightly more versatile Ish who edges both of the opening rounds for the win before a more haymaker-lit True took the 3rd.
Verdict: Ish Mulah (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Ish Mulah – “Fuck a warning shot I really bomb, Scary Movie 2, I’m hanging out the window with the little arm!”
Recap: In this 3-rounder from Boston’s 413 Battle League, Thesaurus puts up a pretty dope fight, punching with the kind of crazy efficiency over the course of 3 rounds to remind you why he’s one of the most respected vets in the game. But with the battle split going into the final round and after withstanding another fiery turn from his opponent, the already scheme-heavy Chilla gets extra versatile and busy in the 3rd, dishing a rich palette of scorching lyricism, well-finessed wordplay and spicy punchlines/personals to edge the round and gain the win in what was a fierce and competitive battle all the way through.
Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “You getting screwed by this L, minus the Allen wrench!”
Recap: Not quite on his A-game overall, a personal and wordplay-heavy Yung Griz still manages to easily out-punch an inconsistent Li The Mayor for the win in this 3-rounder from West Coast Elites.
Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Yung Griz – “I get to smoking different pieces of L [makes a sniffing sound] that’s a roach blunt!”
Recap: Pretty easy to guess that battling in Australia motivated Dizaster to do a Steve Irwin impression for a battle. Aod for the most part, it works, to hilarious effect in this 2-round battle versus E. Farrell. After getting upended by Farrell’s more buoyant (“I’m like an ice cream sandwich paper…that’s a cold rapper!”) punchlines and set-ups/schemes in the 1st round, Diz, with beer in hand, a wig plus hat and a beginner’s Aussie accent to boot is able to use some fire punches, personals and comic relief to take the 2nd round for a draw.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Dizaster – “You look like Dennis the Menace grown up!”
Recap: In this 3-rounder from KOTD, a more direct, (“Yeah, they walk tough, but when I glove up, you see they stretch change, they know when this Alchemist app is all fire, I’m Roy Mustang!”) punch-heavy and bullish Anubis takes this bout from a (“Keep thinking shit sweet and we could square up Now or Later!”) solid overall, but too inconsistent Lexx Luthor.
Verdict: Anubis (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Anubis – “I notice that you yell ‘Team Homi!’ before every battle, I just got one question…are they aware of that?”
Recap: In a matchup that sort of came out of nowhere, as to be expected Brizz Rawsteen brings his rapid assortment of 6 million (“I’m back nerds, and it’s way worse and I’mma kill all you niggas and it ain’t a hate term, first I gotta write for him on the low like a Drake verse!”) ways to die, while veteran rapper Pass dishes his familiar palette of steady (“Nigga, I fucking hate when you rap, your voice is nails on a chalkboard, you sound like Craig daddy when he was talking on the toilet!”) jokes, nice wordplay and dope (“Ain’t no one checking for Brizz Raw, I can’t even continually say that Brizz raw, but a strong left will split the kid jaw, his muzzle will be a puzzle piece, this jigsaw!”) punchlines. And while a difference of styles bout is almost always intriguing, it’s an elongated Rawsteen’s showmanship, righteous name flips and splashier (“Please shorty, bring ya bitch, I’ll grow in 6 in ya bae [Bay] area with E-40!”; “You King of the Dot prostitute, but today Pass over, y’all better bring lot’s of juice!”) variety of bars that especially stands out during all three of his rounds, while Pass’ attempts of going outside the box with personals that mostly fell flat with too many going at T-Top and URL, instead of his opponent. For a consistent and performance-heavy Rawsteen attempting to make an impression on a loud West-coast crowd, there shouldn’t be any doubt that he’ll get an invitation back real soon.
Verdict: Brizz Rawsteen (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Brizz Rawsteen – “When he catch a head shot, I bet his neck roll, I told Smack for a pot of greens I’ll bring ya the nigga neck bone!”
Recap: From Body Bag Battle League, a competitive 3-rounder here leads to a draw as a slightly more condensed Bill Collector’s action-laced punches and witty idioms/darts edges him round 2 (after he lost round 1) and earns him in a tie in the deciding 3rd against an often punch-heavy and lit with the gun bars/similes Bars The Animal in what altogether was a goodie.
Verdict: Tie
Favorite line: Bars The Animal – “Big Smif, tipping the stripper, Bill under the strap!”
Recap: In between his usual odes to mayhem and fiery off-the-dome theatrics, the ever intense and aggressive Dizaster uses a plethora of misogynistic haymakers and witty/pointed personals to 30 an overall solid with the punches, but often hit-n-miss and a little predictable O’fficial in this epic 3-rounder from KOTD.
Verdict: Dizaster (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Dizaster – “This bitch look like that big ass bullet that used to chase us in Super Mario 1!”
Recap: Pretty congenial, but sometimes flossing battle between Dizaster and Aussie rapper Dwizofoz goes the former’s way as Diz’s off-the-dome freestyle’s, witty barbs and jaunty punchlines combine with enough heat to beat back what was a pretty solid overall, but for the 1st two rounds, not as potent turn’s by Dwiz.
Verdict: Dizaster (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Dizaster – “”You’re whiter than the writer’s of Charlotte’s Web!”
Recap: One-rounders do little to prove who the better battler actually is and who knows how seriously a short in time and erratic (“This New York shit, every gun I select bust, meaning bitch I could tick [tic] it [ticket], that’s no fear!”) Prez Mafia took this one. But all of that is no fault of Pep’s who doubles Prez’s length of time with a load of rambunctious bars, steely punchlines and loaded (“You know what’s odd, since you took a shot at my expense, now it’s time for the payback, they gonna say this pussy lost, like a stray cat!”) personals for an easy win.
Verdict: Pep (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Pep – “The trick to great aim, you gotta balance her first, them bitches they pop funny, yunno amateur twerk!”
