Recap: He should have stopped after that spitfire ‘Fe Fi Fo Fum’ line. In yet another case of a battle rapper doing too much, Dre Dennis (already slighted by a Jakkboy Maine imitation that while entertaining, didn’t score any points in the original category) is still ahead in this 1-rounder 75% of the way thanks to a gang of salacious gun bars, fierce punchlines and a fire, mid-round rebuttal. But just as he has the battle practically won, Dre’s penchant for elongation comes back to bite him as the last quarter of his turn sees him dish mostly solid, but redundant heat that essentially cost him the battle. Oh yeah, that and a consistent, punch-efficient, sound-effects-a-blazing, scheme-potent, performance-stunting and back in his bag Jakkboy Maine.
Verdict: Jakkboy Maine (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Jakkboy Maine – “My mind got a little shady ‘cuz I drew the .80 and forgot about Dre!”
