Recap: Legendary sports broadcaster Howard Cosell once said that ‘The ultimate victory in competition is derived from the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your best’. That’s the takeaway you get here as despite Stuey Newton putting on a dope, repping-for-his-state, (“I heard somebody scream ‘Gotti coming!’, I said ‘So what, load up and tell God he coming’!”; “Flame to his nose, the only time I’m burning bridges!”) punch-heavy and versatile performance against Geech Gotti, for each round his opponent just kept doing him one better. Whether addressing hypocrisy in Newton’s more conscious raps or spouting some downright mean bars or dishing on real (“Where I’m from you can’t wear certain hats in certain hoods, we don’t give a fuck if you just like the team!”) gangsta shit or flexing with some ill wordplay/set-ups, for 3 rounds the ever confident and (“This, got a hundred rounds in the clip, you could pray all you want, bet it won’t save him, I’ll let off 50, even missed a couple of shots on purpose…I’m point-shaving!”) gun-savvy Gotti rose to the occasion to beat back a very worthy and fierce opponent. Indeed, a 30 on the books, but a well-earned one at that.
Verdict: Geechi Gotti (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Geechi Gotti – “You gonna try and condemn me for being a gangbanger?, but is you really in the streets making a difference?, I mean damn Newton, you promoting all this Black love but the fact at home you got a white bitch, got me questioning, if all that Panther shit is only for the Cam, Newton!”
