Recap: Well, who doesn’t love a battle where the two contestants face off that really don’t like each other? That seems to be the case here as after a year or so of social media banter, threats, interviews, blogs, etc., Bigg K and John John da Don finally take their differences to the battle stage on RBE.
And yeah, it was a goodie with JJDD going first and cleverly taking on his old threat to slap BK ‘when he sees him’ to set off a round of solid bars, dope personals and some stinging set-ups. However, Bigg K wasn’t having any of it, not only addressing JJDD’s backing out of his threats, but barking in his opponent’s face with a shitload of fiery punches/personals and feelgood (“I’m seasoned with the elbows, like Salt Bae on the Gram!”) haymakers that won him the round. Still, John John came right back in the 2nd, dishing on Bigg K’s tumultuous history in battle rap with pointed punchlines, witty (“The k got a kick like…you, when you don’t like a bar!”) barbs and just to make sure he totally got his point across…a picture prop with Bigg K not looking his most gangster that was accompanied by a gang of raucous heaters. And while Bigg K came back with a solid round of funny personals and stinging (“You just want to sell a battle, get your check, claim the fame on it, I want to sell a shirt that got the death, date and name on it!”) punchlines, overall it wasn’t enough to take the round.
Split going into the 3rd, with plenty of tension in the air, John John sticks with his game plan, going after his opponent with more and more personals that included a nice mix of flexing personals and potent schemes. And while K started his 3rd hot with a couple of banging personals/shiners, his swift adjustment to a rapid stream of nifty punchlines was not only head-scratching when it comes to tactics, but more importantly, not enough to take the round, thus giving JJDD the win.
Verdict: John John da Don (W) 2-1
Favorite line: John John da Don – “URL don’t fuck with you, care to tell the people why?, better yet I’ll tell ’em, just in case you feel a need to lie, after choking twice he went and set his price extremely high, but they was down for you K [U.K.] until you showed your European side!”
