Recap: Because he supposedly ‘doesn’t even rhyme’ D.O.T. may be the easiest battle rapper to knock, but whatever, as his performance-heavy semantics which usually overshadows a barrage of fine understated (“If I reach, he’ll be running scared…Paul Walker!”) wordplay, are what really matters at the end of the day. So while opponent Hoodie Cruger stayed consistent with an aggressive flow and (“You’ll get something special from under my shirt…nigga I’ll polka dot [poke a dot]!”) shined at times, too much filler along with a higher bar quotient from D.O.T., gives the latter the win here in this one-rounder from IGrind Battle League.
Verdict: D.O.T. (W) 1-0
Favorite line: D.O.T. – “Soon as I back out, turn him to Yung Joc…just a nigga with his wig blown out!”
