Recap: Here we find a couple of old Grind Time vets, Young Kannon and Money Bagz, finally meeting up to go at it on the URL/Smack stage. 1st round is the only decisive round with YK’s usual emotive assortment of killer (“Make a Stone Cold entrance, yunno, the glass break when a bald head rush through the door?, I’m dancing with the sweeper, that’s Turbo in front of the store!”) punches and fierce wordplay easily beating back a staid turn from Money Bagz that featured way too many outdated bars. The middle round saw things get more competitive as Bagz lifted up his energy and delivered with some rich (“Oh, you got a gun up on your waist?, well that’s how you get your dome split, reverse psychology, I’ll take it from you and hit you with your own shit!”) set-ups and aggressive punchlines. However, coming off resoundingly consistent throughout this battle, YK hits right back with a potent mix of witty (“Your girl pussy taste like Starburst…the PINK one!”) bars, heated haymakers and piercing (“Do him dirty, then leave clean, that’s how I’m laundering Money!”) name flips. Behind 0-2 going into the final round, Money Bagz hangs in there with arguably his best (“How you in the field, but left your Shield like Roman Reigns?”) lines. However, a couple of slip-ups resort in the Team Homi member choking at the end, thus giving the round away to what was a pretty standard turn by YK.
Verdict: Young Kannon (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Young Kannon – “Catch him rolling up in his vehicle, throw 10 in a car, have half the body hanging out the whip like Kendrick Lamar!”
