Synonym: Even if you’re a fan of one-rounders, I can’t see how this one wouldn’t have been better over the course of 3 instead of 1. I mean, anytime you have non-top tier dudes rapping over 6 minutes consecutively you’re bound for a snooze-fest. That said, M. Ciddy, forever cocky, but always prepared with dope bars and personals, put on perhaps one of his best performances. If only his round was more condensed and he didn’t see the need to talk at times while Kannon spit his bars. Big Kannon, somehow the crowd fave here (despite being from Chicago while Ciddy’s from Michigan, where this battle took place), went second and while having a hard act to follow, still came through in the end by dropping a more steady stream of haymakers (that “get it like Tupac in the intersection” line was mean), less filler and a slightly better performance along with personals.
Verdict: Big Kannon (W) 1-0
Best line: Big Kannon -“What if I wanted a tour through the D?….what would you do? Take out an iPhone, start scrolling through the apps, ‘[I’m like] what’chu gonna’ do with that?’ I’m taking you to Google Maps”
