Recap: It’s just too much Roc in this one, as despite Brizz Rawsteen bringing his entire arsenal of deft performance bars, (“Two hands on a .9, that’s real nigga time!”) loud/aggressive and hitting punchlines, pronounced delivery and witty polemics/personals to the match, Tay Roc’s steady ability to floss with rich gun lines, spitfire punchlines, kindred vet (“Nigga’s always talking about what they woulda did, till they the one’s that it happen to you!”) speak, fiery wordplay, ‘random’ (“I said, Summer Madness coming, Calicoe, stop running, Conceited, how you 4-foot 5 and still ducking?, John John still talking shit, he gonna make me steal something…”) shiners and braggadocio haymakers (all of which particularity shined and got him rounds 1 & 2, before a debatable 3rd) prove to be too much for the Dark Side up-n-comer, who while getting better as the battle proceeded, not only had too many dry spots, for the most part just couldn’t match his opponent’s consistency and versatility.
Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Tay Roc – “Hey, to all them nigga’s claiming Gun Bar King, them nigga’s not me, I used to carry 1, now I pair it [parrot], they trying to mock me!”
