Recap: Scintillating, last-minute, one-rounder between Ty Law and Qleen Paper has both rappers going full tilt with what they’re readily known for. In Law’s case, hard-hitting (“That gay shit you shout dawg!, make country nigga’s say ‘no homo!’, like left-hand fighters, he make the South pause [southpaws]”) punchlines and crazy (“He knows that was dope, that barrel scary, [points hands like gun towards Qleen] I bet you can’t look straight in that, like Verb in that plastic coat!”) wordplay, while a somewhat surprisingly well-prepared Qleen’s consistently whimsical (“I mean your bars cool, but mines hard stool, I got my shit together!”) bars and gritty street talk reminded of what he’s capable of when he brings his A-game. In fact, with little on the personals side and both dishing out an equal amount of haymakers, it’s Qleen’s slightly more consistent delivery and slightly higher bar quotient that ends up getting this one in the end.
Verdict: QP (Qleen Paper) (W) 1-0
Favorite line: QP – “He gonna talk about somethin’ ‘Yeah I hope you got some hands to go with those loose lips’…boy yeah, I got them hands, fuck you thunk I’mma shoot with?!”
