Recap: “Wordplay?” Nigga my words ain’t to played with!” LOL!!! Despite Swave Sevah making his presence felt with ‘new niggas’ affirmations, heavy name flips and aggressive bars, it wasn’t enough to beat Show Off’s gritty (“That’s why I decided to earth you, the led will blow, hella smoke, do you greasy, you old, live, all you see is glasses in the air, that’s a wedding toast”) polemics, self-deprecating (“I’m crazy, fit for what’s in store like I be shopping with Rex”) jokes, hitting personals and flat-out (“I run up on Swave with one arm cocked, he die comfortably only because he was raised that way”) haymakers. Credit to Swave for going with the direct approach dipped with biting tutorials throughout, but thanks in part to a shortened round 2 and some flat bars, yet mostly due to Show Off’s bouyant package, performance and delivery, the young’un decidedly took the first couple of rounds and with that the win.
Verdict: Show Off (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Show Off “‘How’ and ‘Who’ got the same letters, don’t question me Swave”
