Recap: Pretty good battle between the subtle, but deadly E-Hart and the never lacking for confidence 40 Barrs on the Queen of the Ring stage. I got them split after 2 rounds with Hart taking the 1st with a tighter delivery while edging it on the ill punchline and (“It’s no mercy or sympathy when this bird gets cooked every round, like rotisserie!”, “Tonight is like you coppin’ a molly, you get a different E!”) haymaker count, but 40 coming back deftly with some dope schemes, gritty (“My trigger history E, no mystery, I’ll put a finger on it”) gun bars and brash (“This guerrilla warfare, so fuck you and that monkey, it’s a must-see, I bust E, leave both y’all bitches funky!”) personals to even things out. Last round goes to Hart, who despite an admitted slight stumble, still delivered better wordplay along with more potent (“What real bitch woulda owned being homeless?, not this one, i would’ve respect you a bit more if you ain’t rap about a gum, while you was applying for shelters, i would’ve robbed the state out of one!”) personals to get the dub at the end.
Verdict: E-Hart (W) 2-1
Favorite line: E-Hart – “I’m back on my job, you was only a temp hire, now you gonna have to Cook e [Cookie] to take over this Empire!”
