Recap: Yeah, Thesaurus’ 3rd round ‘Why would you question my parenting faggot?, I fathered this entire scene’ rebuttal should go down as one of the best and most classic rebuts in battle rap history. But at the end of the day it was just a line. And I’m puzzled how one line within a very shortened turn supersedes the extra witty punches and personals Pat Stay was spouting earlier in what was a deciding round 3. Same goes for the 1st round as well which saw Pat lay down a flexing combo of piercing punches, rigid wordplay and boastful barbs over an opponent who while hitting at times, was pretty pedestrian with the raps otherwise. Indeed, if not for Pat struggling with his flow a bit in round 2, this could’ve been a 30, but instead the judges somehow gave Thesaurus the win.
Verdict: Pat Stay (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Pat Stay – “His baby’s mom will send him to the store to buy his daughter some diapers, he’ll come home late all awkwardly hyper, like, ‘Sorry baby. I got caught in a cipher!'”
