Recap: After just getting edged via some hard (“The smif coming out of the shirt more than J.R. after the Finals!”) punches/schemes, crafty wit and nice rebuttals by Charlie Clips in the 1st round, an aggressively shining Rum Nitty not only steps up his punchline (“Chuck’s getting laced up by a West-coast nigga…it’s nothing new!”) game, but also flexes with heated gun bars and some spirited wordplay in a spitfire 2nd that beat back a hit-n-miss turn by Clips. Already on his opponent’s neck with spicy bar after bar, Nitty continued with more of the same stinging punches/set-ups/personals/gun lines in the deciding 3rd round and while his final round wasn’t quite as potent as his previous turn, Rum still delivered with more than enough vigor to easily back a often solid, but a little less prepared and too-redundant-with-the-freestyles/name flips turn by Clips.
Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “Flavor of Love, this pump can [Pumpkin] spit on this New York bitch!”
