Recap: Agreeing with Danja Zone that this battle between (“The irony, I joined battle rap to give y’all Heaven and caught Hell for it!”) Loso and Bad Newz was close (and fire throughout), doesn’t mean that it didn’t have a winner. As the feeling here is that after witnessing a debatable second as well as a debatable 3rd, the only clear round was the 1st. Which saw Bad Newz line up a more consistently spitfire array of punchlines to beat back an overall solid, but oft-porous turn from Loso. Indeed, Bad Newz, who overall mixed it up a bit more than his opponent did via a slew of hard (“And I heard you got the bricks on the low, well nigga take me to it, Truth or Dare, if he ain’t trying to tell me, then I’m a make him do it!”) gun bars, bully raps, a nice rebuttal to start his 3rd, real-life struggle bars and stinging punchlines, seemed to have a plan going in on staying away, for the most part, the all-too-common Christian rebukes that we see against Loso and instead just relying on having a better pen. And it worked, as a handful of predictable punchlines, subpar personals/name flips and a couple of slow starts to his rounds come back to hurt Loso in the end.
Verdict: Bad Newz (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Bad Newz – “Snapple fact, you could get a round over words!”
