Recap: Nifty punchlines and rabid gun bars highlight this URL battle between Joe and Franchise, with a more consistent and fiery (“This ratchet will fuck a Franchise up, it’s a Kardashian!”) Joe taking the 1st round, while (“You talking shit, till your whole squad get lit, it was all Love and Hip-Hop till Joe got a sucker punch and that’s just a Consequence!”) Franchise turned up enough in the 2nd to edge that round and have it 1-1 going into the 3rd. And while neither battler was spectacular in the deciding round, Franchise’s angle to get personal and (predictably) racial with a barrage of struggle life bars could’ve been a lot better, esp when you consider that his bars were more about his battle rap career than his life outside of it. With that, Joe, continuing to bring it with aggressive punches and nicer set-ups, makes it to the finish line ahead with a turn that was more solid overall despite a few dry spots here and there.
Verdict: Joe (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Joe – “He talking about White Men can’t Jump…now I got this bitch in Jeopardy!”
