Recap: Before the recap starts, some friendly advice to up-n-coming battle rappers: never openly admit what your weaknesses are: whether that’s on social media, a popular podcast or radio show, anywhere…because as Mike P found out here, it will come back to bite you.
Now back to the battle…Ryda with a dope, punch/wordplay-heavier and more versatile 1st round and now what amounts to being a superbly-executed, all personal (and yes, hypocritical on Mike’s part to get all in his feelings here after what he did to Danny Myers in a previous battle) and now classic 2nd, clearly got this battle. No fault to judges Method Man and Iron Solomon for not being able decipher whether or Ryda’s 2nd round was real or just made up. But damn the 52% of fans that sided with Mike (who was really hit-n-miss with the name flips throughout the battle) on this one, much less the bloggers who had the audacity to question if Ryda went too far?!? I mean, it’s battle rap for chrissakes.
Oh yeah, for the record a more condensed and just as punch heavy Mike did manage to edge the 3rd.
Verdict: Ryda (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Ryda – “That y’all Street Fighter, that cap calm [Capcom], hearsay, y’all forgot I’m Scorpion I’ll swing the blade through the body and stop…midway!”
