Recap: A strong performance by (“The crowd going to feel homeless, go to sleep on Ave!”) Nunn Nunn gets beat by a superb performance by Ave in this dope PG battle from URL/Smack. Ave easily takes the first round with crazy (“Put the .45 to this square, speed limit sign!”; “You ass and can’t hide it, you like C3 shirts!”) ) nice punchlines combined with fierce name flips and menacing wordplay. Nunn Nunn almost steals the 2nd round, bringing out his steely-eyed girlfriend at the start to team up for some vicious (“Make him think he gonna hit. look at your dumb ass, you caught an erection!”) personals in an epic 2-on-1, while finishing off with some fierce performance bars and dope (“You so pussy, I’ll smack him with a lollipop, I mean literally sucker punch you!”) one-liners that were only hurt by his rhyming a little too long. But Ave, staying true to ‘not needing no help’ takes the round with a steady stream of wicked (“I’ll drop a pack of crackers, Ave a vending machine!”) punches and ridiculous (“Y’all thought he could rock with me? well I’ll make ’em believers, just never compare a fat God to Slim Jesus!”) haymakers. Last round was close, but with Nunn Nunn spouting that real (“The heroin belt be the same one parents beat their son’s and daughter’s with!”) trailer park shit along with fire punchlines, all the while impressively saving himself from a slip-up with a rolling freestyle, he managed to edge the last round by flexing more versatility, even in light of Ave’s continued propensity for dishing scathing heaters.
Verdict: Ave (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Ave – “Catch him getting in his ride, let off that black heater, you’ll only see a body on the rim, like a Shaq sneaker!”
