Recap: Yes, you can be elongated with your rounds and still keep it spicy as QP shows us here versus Bonnie Godiva for what turned out to be a shrewd punch-fest between the two battlers on the Black Ice Cartel stage. A condensed Bonnie kept it gully, wordplay-lit and personal-savvy all the way through while spouting steadily hitting punches with nary a dry spot. Indeed, Ms. Godiva was even able to come up with some ill retorts at what she thought her old Innuendo team member might throw at her during a bout that stayed close with one battler rapping twice as long as the other. However, for all of Bonnie’s adept rhyme-slinging, a QP on his A-game (as well as a vet who takes a lot of credit for Bonnie’s pen) would be a little too much in the end, the never-lacking-for-confidence emcee/reality TV star delivering back-to-back-to-back with plenty of grit and constant flair when he wasn’t dishing a boatload of exemplary wordplay, fire name flips, hard-hitting personals and witty barbs that had the crowd lit. A battle drenched in haymakers from both sides, the slightly more sublime QP edges rounds 1 and 3 for the win.
Verdict: QP )W) 2-1
Favorite line: QP – “When you what I say with a little twist, bitch, that’s a remix!”
