Recap: Bill Collector finally gets a chance at revenge with this long coveted battle against Hitman Holla and receives an outcome many in the battle rap world probably didn’t expect: simply put, Holla out-barred him. Yeah, that’s right, the man who made ‘performance’ a category, chose to lean more heavily on his pen to win a battle, using a gang of fiery (“Man, if this nigger ain’t a bitch than please enlighten men, ‘cuz we had Bill running like Clinton in ’93!”) personals, some glistening wordplay, dope name flips, lucid gun bars and potent punchlines to take all 3 rounds and beat a witty (“You did what you did little kid, [points at forehead] but not today, [k]not joking, I am [k]not kidding, I am [k]not to play, [k]not never again, never [k]not, [k]not [k]not I say!” throughout, self-deprecating, sermonizing and performance-rich, but elongated, a bit filler prone and too often Show Out-addressing BC, in an altogether entertaining battle that brought ‘Closure’ to the two combatants longstanding feud.
Verdict: Hitman Holla (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Hitman Holla – “All that loudmouth shit, I’m Hitman, I don’t go for it, yeah you lost a fight, well swing now or get over it!”
