Recap: In one of the early “One-Off”‘s from Smack/URL, a steadily aggressive and oft-jocular Yung Ill snapping on Rich Dolarz’s “stanky, Yankee cap” is the most memorable moment of this battle. But besides getting edged in the 2nd round, this battle was all Dolarz, who when he wasn’t going random with shots at Aye Verb and Tech-9, proved to be way more consistently nice with his punchlines, personals, steely wordplay/schemes and pointed gun bars in the 1st and 3rd rounds. It also needs to be said that for all their competitive bravado throughout this match, the underlying humor within this battle doesn’t get enough credit.
Verdict: Rich Dolarz (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Rich Dolarz – “You soft, but you be acting hard tho, a St. Louis nigga that reminds me of Nelly…Furtado!”
