Recap: Word to the wise: judging from all that creaking going on during this battle, next time so many bug dudes are all up on the same stage, you might wanna perform on a stronger platform. Moving on, nice one-rounder between Ah Di Boom and the underrated Cakes here as both came with some dope (Ah Di: “I’ll have my white boy [points gun at Cakes head] shooting at ya roof…to Higher Learning!”) bars, (Cakes: “In fact you was eating, I caught him doing his favorite thing in the fridge…reaching”) jokes, cool name flips and hitting wordplay. And although host Charlie Clips arguably had the best line of the night (“Real fat nigga shit, we feed each other!”), the feeling here is that Cakes edged this one if only for being more consistently nice with his raps, which stood out admirably when compared to Boom’s filler along with the fact that the first half of his round was much harder than the second.
Verdict: Chess (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Cakes – “Listen, I’m pimping, on the comeback, that means I’m bringing the mac round, Throwback Thursday you’ll get the black cartridge, that’s No Mercy before the Smackdown”
