Recap: After slumping a bit in hi slast battle against Born Xcel gets back to basics with a combo of exemplary wordplay, superb rebuttals and a legion of sharp-witted (“I leave earth every time I’m spitting, my alien writtens cut deep, I’m Zecharia Sitchin!”) bars to take a close one from the steadily (“I’ll tag Xcel [XL] with this shit that go over the head…I’m not putting you on”) improving, but still too often word-stretching Steams.
Verdict: Xcel (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Xcel – “My first thought, when I caught the first draft of y’all name…was Little Debbie, cux all the Cakes come packaged the same”
