Recap: A couple of WeGoHard grads, Jerry Wess and Mr. Wavy, go at it on the Smack/URL big stage and put on what turns to be a mostly solid, competitive, grandstanding and bar-heavy showing. However, it’s Wavy, with seemingly more to prove lyrically what with the ‘performance’ stamp at the top of his resume, who arguably dishes his best and most consistently spitfire round ever, a sizzling first that contained a boatload of hitting punchlines, fire (“Jerry Wess?!, I be on the West side of Jerry, that’s how I name flip [bang!]”!) name flips, performance-rich and dope schemes that end’s up beating back an overall solid, hard-hitting at times, name (“My nigger’s steal on Wave like they don’t give a fuck if the beach closed!”) flip-spazzing and condensed, but inconsistent turn by Wess. 2nd round, while elongated, saw a more versatile Wavy dish a load of heat with fiery punches, some standout wordplay, well-amped gun bars that all matched well with yet another tight performance, once again depicting an earnest attitude towards changing the mind’s of those who’ve underestimated the strength of his pen and easily winning what was another stirring at times, but sometimes lackluster turn by Wess. Besides both spitting some fire schemes and nasty punchlines throughout the round, the duo finally address their shared home league turf and other intermediate situations/shenanigans/allegations in the 3rd, which Wess edges with a more consistently potent flow and better (“Nigga, my bitch will stab and shoot you, looks deceiving, he won’t even think, “danger”, she nice with the dagger and fuck with the Tommy, she the Pink Ranger!”) performance bars. However, with Wavy already taking the first two rounds, his opponent’s final round comeuppance would come a little too late.
Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Mr. Wavy – “See, wherever he go, don’t become a runner, I follow every move that you make, I got the tracking number!”
