Recap: Whew! Kinda battle that makes you actually yearn for the Fight Klub days where you had a pool table between the rappers therefore making touching each other a non-issue. That said, I don’t have a problem with any battle rapper not wanting to be touched during a battle, but with all the performance bars and hand gesturing that’s in play these days, it doesn’t take being a rocket scientist to know the difference between being touched (Dubz barely grazed him) accidentally and someone outright disrespecting you with their hands. Then too, since it’s Cityy Towers who started the whole brouhaha (again, he had every right to be bothered by the touching, but I don’t think Dubz meant any disrespect with any of it), to be fair, all that gesturing at the camera while his opponent spits and/or grilling his opponent isn’t cool either, much less displays poor sportsmanship. Too bad for all distractions that came with the extra shit, because bar for bar and style for style this was a really dope battle. I got Towers edging taking the 1st and 2nd rounds, while Dubz clearly got the 3rd.
Verdict: Cityy Towers (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Cityy Towers -“You’re a Buckingham’s Palace guard, your career’s a stand still”
