Recap: It’s only fitting that a rare appearance by Tay Roc outside the URL.Smack stage, here on the UDubb platform, gets met by the so-called ‘Smack-Killer’ Charron. And this one is a goodie, what with Roc slinging a load of fiery gun bars and white ‘cracker’ jokes that mostly killed, while his opponent stayed close with his own barrage of whimsical punchlines, nice rebuttals and a penchant for comedic flair.
The latter two rounds were each transparent when it comes to who prevailed with Roc taking the 2nd with engaging schemes, exquisite (“I don’t like cheese and crackers, so don’t be smiling in my face!”; “I’ll show up to his front door and I’ll nigga knock!”) race flips and gritty punchlines to beat a mostly pedestrian turn from his opponent, while Charron went ham in the 3rd, using robust (“Said I look like I cat-fished someone…well, you don’t know who you’re fucking with!”) rebuttals, some dope wordplay, mocking personals and jaw-dropping (“On Facebook you apologized to Smack for taking this match, as a family man, you should never be sorry for making some cash, he posted ‘My loyalty is with Smack, no other league’s worthy of these gun bars’, delete…disappeared quicker than a Tsu Surf gun charge!”) haymakers that certainly had a residual effect on certain onlookers.
So this one comes down to the 1st and the edge here goes to Roc, who when he wasn’t dishing more fire gun lines along with righteous identity politics and crazy personals, also scored points with his aggressive (“…I’ll have Ars like, ‘Chill out Roc, you know he autistic!”) wit and wild set-ups. And while Charron came through in the opening round with his own turn of potent wordplay/punches/schemes, a few too many dry spots and the fact his (“Those aren’t my bars, I’m not even saying then right, I just wanted to spit a Jdakiss verse before Suge does later tonight!”) best line was towards Shotgun Suge, instead of his opponent, cost him the round and the battle.
Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Tay Roc – “I was in school with pussies like you, and they was all geeks, when I wanted my homework done, I kinda gave them a hard speech like, if all my answers wrong, you get fucked up, but if you get ’em right, you get to buy my lunch all week!”
