Synopsis: Charlie Clips proves again why he belongs in everybody’s Top 5 in this epic battle against Daylyt. From jump Clips goes for the kill, using a West coast scheme that packs wallops, speaking on Daylyt: “I run with some Outlawzs, that’ll roof dog, they crazy, let theey ratchet buck, an LBC crew that’ll stomp him, now that’s Kurupt, should I use a nine, an automatic or maybe the blade, whatever I use will push this bitch wig back, that’s the Lady of Rage” (Also: “I’m in your hood, I start airing the pipe, I hit these Crip niggas, make everybody in blue Jet without preparing the flight..”). It doesn’t stop there as Clips punches with authority on each line he spits. Don’t sleep on Daylyt tho, as during round 1 he more than held his own, busting genial one-liners (“You thought one call was gonna save your ass from dying, who life alert?”) and hilarious punchlines: “What the fuck, I bust chrome, I’ll do him in a greasy way, 2 4’s leave six eight, who do we appreciate?” that kept the battle close, but clearly went beyond the time limit (not to mention, did he have to spit those bars on Biggie and Tupac?). Either way come the latter rounds Clips continues to flex, styling on Day’s use of gimmickry, spouting rabid name flips and going straight for the throat with gritty bars: “I let that four flare, point the deuce, throw the beam in ya mouth, I’ll do the fusion dance with Chilla than scheme in your house”. While Daylyt still had his moments (“One thing we got in common is we could rock man, but I rest killas, you said a Mr. Fantastic line? That’s cuz it was a stretch nigga!”), they became few and far between. All the while Clips, in round 3, continued to spaz and show off his creativity, spitting tutorials at Daylyt’s ski-mask: “But now you just jumping on any nigga face mask and honestly I can’t take it, how you go from Schoolboy Q and Young Buck album to a battle rapper that’s getting naked?’ (with Daylyt ironically rooting him on) and putting the nail in the coffin with this haymaker: “You want your niggas to look they killer in the eye, I rather you look your killer in his whole face, so you could remember the nigga from the east coast that stripped you of your pride and your glory, real killas don’t need a face mask and I don’t plan on letting you tell your side of the story!” Daylyt had a nice 3rd round (“I’ve been searching for this little boy all night, we are cougars”), but it just wasn’t nearly consistent enough to compete.
Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Charlie Clips – “Talking about you’ll give me the open hand, the fist in the deuce, and y’all believe him. I’ll have the one pointing before he get to the deuce, that’s odds and even”
