Recap: With the ability to go three rounds without spitting a single direct bar at his opponent, who knows if Young Mike was woke enough to realize that he was in a battle and not just spitting bars over a beat in the booth. Not that it mattered to Young X, who styles on Mike with enough steady jokes, nice (“I make Christians when I rap. I got the people like ‘Gawd’!”) braggadocio lines and rich storytelling bars to score an easy 3-0.
Verdict: Young X (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Young X – “Tell the truth, stop lying, you ain’t never slang hard, purse-snatcher, running off with people’s Medicaid cards!”
