Recap: Highly entertaining and performance-heavy 1-rounder between Your Honor and Ralphy Gabbana goes the latter’s way thanks in part to Y.H.s elongated turn that while laced with plenty of humorous barbs and piercing personals, also sported way too much filler. Gabbana, on the other hand, hyper but condensed with his raps, while also scoring left and right with ringing gun bars, gritty name flips, lofty punchlines, well-research personals and animated schemes, put on such a crowd-pleasing show that he’d literally run off the stage, game-winning, buzzer-beater style at the end of his round.
Verdict: Ralphy Gabbana (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Ralphy Gabbana – “Hyperventilating, the streets was cold, and we live by the Honor system and by the code, I had shitty grades in school, never seen a 3.0,, but if he don’t have that 3.5…[Bow!] you still gonna see that Honor roll!”
