Recap: Put aside the jokes as Big Hann and Snake Eyez kick that struggle rap, real street talk, prison semantics and other assorted high crimes and misdemeanors throughout this URL/PG battle from Smack. Indeed, both (“Old pistol with the duct tape, so it’s either you dead or your family in ICU waiting on the update!”) Snake and (“Nigga, I’ll even draw on ya kids, that’s face-painting!”) Hann, competing to the tee on who can spit the most genuine urban ethos, let you know early on that they ain’t here to play games. But it’s an elongated, but more consistently fiery Snake who edges round 1 with more steely haymakers that were backed by consistent aggression and moxey. Round 2 was more of the same with Snake Eyez again going slightly longer than his opponent and taking the round (and the win) with more gripping punchlines, fiending (“Nigga, I’ve been nice since we was using aluminum foil from the gum to make the grills with it!”) braggadocio bars and less filler before Hann salvages the 3rd round and avoids a 3-0 loss with tight storytelling bars and straight-fire (“Nigga, you ain’t no cobra, you a garden snake that probably Harlem shake!”) punches.
Verdict: Snake Eyez (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Snake Eyez – “You know the drill, no games, this pain, come from the soul, you could feel the hunger, I’m on parole, so I’m still a number!”
