Recap: In some battles doing a little too much can end up hurting you in the long run. Case in point here in what overall was a terrific and close matchup between (“Have ratchets surrounding Dre like ‘How To Be A Playa!”) Jai 400 Block and Dre Dennis. Loaded with plenty of nice gun bars, ferocious (Jai: “So how you gonna act Dre?, when I push your melon in [melanin] like I’m promoting Hidden Colors 2!”) bully bars, sizzling (Jai: “Closed mouths don’t get fed, and by your weight I’d be lying if I said you don’t eat!”) wordplay, fresh schemes and rich (Dre: “He even tried to PG Step to get to Smack, but that ain’t work for you tho, little Jai tried to be I but got curbed on the low!”) personals from both battlers, this was a debatable battle going into the final round. And that’s where Dre Dennis, despite a round that spouted some fiery bars and a couple of (“This big bitch, be looking for Shotgun more than Trick Trick!”) haymakers, ended up losing the battle what with a couple of reaches, mediocre lines, unnecessarily PG-stepping and over-saturated gun bars that in comparison to a more short and succinct, but heavily (“You take battle after battle off Smack, I don’t think the staff ok with the shit, is it because of the fact they never pay you for shit?, let’s say they paid you for this, this the initiative, because after what I do to you, it’s going to be like they paid you to quit!”) stacked with a variety of potent bars from Jai, ended up edging 400 Block the win.
Verdict: Jai 400 Block (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Dre Dennis – “Slow with clips in, I take time filling up my drum, old URL days, I upload rounds one by one!”
