Recap: Bigg K and Caustic make for a spirited, competitive and memorable battle with plenty of mocking personals, lyrical shiners, righteous punchlines, witty barbs and for Caustic, especially during his tension-filled, uber-personal 3rd round, a plethora of real-life drama that let you know he isn’t just about getting a laugh. Even tho his opponent clearly wasn’t impressed, a punch-heavy (“Like you wasn’t a nerd up in prison, I bet you got checked on sight like terms and conditions!”), funny and more consistent Caustic takes a close first round before Bigg K ups his punchline/personal game and easily takes out an elongated and sometimes-indirect turn by Caustic in the 2nd round to even things up. And while the aforementioned turn by Caustic in the deciding 3rd was an at-times emotional and notable one, K’s ability to ‘kick’ his opponent’s real-life struggles aside for a (“But I guess when you’re Mr. Disrespectful, that’s how you do things, walk around Oakland with a cat on a shoestring!”) hilarious, creative and mocking turn on Caustic’s cat, wins him the round and the battle.
Verdict: Bigg K (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Bigg K – “Razor to ya face, get severed in cold cuts, you soft, peanut butter and jelly with no crust!”
