Recap: Sluggish battle between Big T and O-Red had the crowd and ring card girls flustered and rightfully so, what with O-Red spitting random bars at other battle rappers and using the same cookie props for jokes here that he used before against Big Kannon. While Big T lifted plenty of what was left of his sound schemes against K-Shine and relied on way too many name flips throughout the battle. Ironically, with most of the action taking place in the 1st (the edge there going to O-Red for dropping more hitting bars within his time frame than Big T) and 3rd (clearly a win for Big T) rounds, turns out that the most lethargic round, the 2nd, would be the difference-maker. And with Big T practically giving it up with some just ok bars within an abbreviated round, Red easily took it with his more potent punchlines.
Verdict: O-Red (W) 2-1
Favorite line: O-Red – “You the cheapest drink in McDonald’s, that means you Sweet T [tea]”
