Recap: First, props to Pharoah for the fire Nia Long jogging performance bar (a beautiful scene that over the years hasn’t quite gotten the love it deserves when you consider the shitload of Friday lines you’ve heard in battles). Other than that this 1-rounder was all Steams, who beats back a solid showing by his opponent with a raucous turn that featured spitfire punchlines, salacious name flips, rigid personals and some robust wordplay.
Verdict: Steams (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Steams – “Pharoah just here watching a star like his ancestors!”
