Recap: “It’s 8 o’clock”. Smh. With all the unprofessional interruptions, bad mics and b/w footage, I guess there are plenty of good reasons why King Juce Battle League got out of the battle rap business pretty quickly. Small battle league problems aside, Hitman Holla and Math Hoffa still put on a pretty good show with plenty of witty barbs, fiery personals, showmanship (esp. on Hitman’s part, what with the ‘gun ), some hot punchlines, fierce braggadocio lines and even a couple of nice rebuttals (esp. Math’s shot at ‘Big Gerald’ in the final round). Tied going into the 3rd, the edge here goes to Hitman, but not so much for what he did do in what was a essentially a solid turn, but for what Math did, which is go on too long with too many pedestrian bars in an elongated turn that would’ve been winnable if it was just more condensed with less filler.
Verdict: Hitman Holla (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Hitman Holla – “It’s a known fact that if you strapped, it’ll never ring, [but] if you see me with a hammer, I’m coming to fix everything!”
