Recap: A solid but sluggish start by Charlie Clips gets him edged in the first round before Shotgun Suge returns the favor with another raucous, but shortened turn that got beat back by Clips’ more measured and versatile run (tho, one could argue that he borrowed Suge’s ‘Willie Manchester’ bar) in the 2nd to even things out going into the 3rd round of this URL battle. By the time the final round ensued, the two top tier battlers had already delivered a grand palette of raucous heat, piercing punchlines/personals/name flips, witty barbs, a pocket tap by Suge and some wily/real talk schemes by Clips that had the crowd buzzing. Still, the 3rd round would serve as the best overall round of the battle with both emcees on their A-game all the while spouting consistent heat. And while Suge supplied to terrific effort for the win, Clips’ clever and witty ‘Shaq/Suge’ career scheme coupled with some sublime 4-bar set-ups and fiery punchlines…just killed it.
Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 2-1
