Recap: Another dope BANNED battle sees a focused Shotgun Suge steady dismantle a hotter-as-the-battle-progressed X-Factor with a series of aggressive punchlines, some fire wordplay/gun bars and a boatload of fierce name flips/personals. X-Factor, who literally gave away the first round with a sermonizing half that went nowhere, went on to stand his ground and make things competitive with some set-ups/punchlines of his own. But with too many hit-n-miss stylings in round 2, the battle was already lost for the veteran Detroit rapper before a sterling, real talk friendly 3rd round allowed a non-Priorities spitting X to take the 3rd round and avoid getting 30’d.
Verdict: Shotgun Suge (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Shotgun Suge – “If I lap Miles I’ll put X on his back like off white!”
