Recap: In this solid 3-rounder from Black Ice Cartel, Arsonal does a mean Qleen Paper impression and had his moments (“The closest you’ll ever get to being King is Tekken 4!”) bar-wise, but way too many reaches and pedestrian lines hurts da Rebel in the long run versus a Queen hellbent on talking past beef with Detroit rappers when he wasn’t tossing out a nice assortment of gang-related personals and lucid boasts/punchlines. Still, as challenging as this battle was when it came to mediocre punches, it had its share of comical stylings from both battlers and stayed close throughout, leaving us with a slightly more versatile Ars taking the 1st round, before a more consistently potent Qleen edges the 2nd, before the two, pretty equal on bar efficiency, turn out a draw in the deciding 3rd.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Qleen Paper – “Fuck that, I ain’t bring no 9’s and shit, I got a scope so I can find a hit, y’all know how it go, the softest grape on the vine get bit!”
