Recap: Dope, competitive battle between 40 B.A.R.R.S. and Couture on the QOTR stage sees 40 gets busy throughout the match with a gang of shrewd lyrical stunting, rigid name flips and hard-hitting personals. While Couture flexed her versatility with a boatload of witty/scathing personals, clever schemes, piercing punchlines and a spitfire performance (esp. in round 3, which saw the Rhode Island emcee use both a human prop and a beverage prop to unleash a variety of impressions of your favorite male battlers with startling effect). In front of a crowd egged on by every hot bar, a slightly more clean with the flow, condensed and punch-heavier Couture takes round 1, before 40 gets downright mean with it (even going after her opponent’s kid) and with the help of a couple of more haymakers, takes the 2nd round to even things up. The ever calm, cool and collected Couture, however, would take the final round, what with the aforementioned electric performance to go with a continuously aggressive and stinging punch game that overall would beat back a pretty solid, but not as consistently spicy turn by 40.
Verdict: Couture (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Couture – “Oh I got you big mad Lisa, let me stop and show some true love, congratulations on the crib, bitch I can’t wait to drown you in your new tub, sometimes I’m too blunt and when I roll up it’s nothing less than two snubs, so who wants smoke with me, I’m about to split 40 into two dubs!”
