Recap: In this one-rounder from Bullpen Battle League, Syahboy spits some hot (“Put him to sleep like a Cortez battle!”) bars (including a dope Olivia Pope scheme) and altogether delivers a solid and aggressive performance. But a couple of redundant personals (I mean, Arsonal’s been hearing about the ‘school bus’ since like ’09 versus Conceited), bars that could’ve been more creative, wasted bars on other battlers and a shoddy ending doesn’t hold up when matched against Arsonal’s more steady unabashed (“This like the 10th plague, I’ll bring death to Syah’s firstborn, open up her stomach for him, now he getting worked on, your organs all in the background like this a church song!”) heat, winning (“You got the face of a bigga who mother still put him on punishment, nigga”) personals, rich set-ups/performance and a more versatile round.
Verdict: Arsonal (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Arsonal – “Fuck Marcus, your name Randy, you won’t let your K shine [K-Shine], you got that Rex swag!”
