Recap: A couple of dudes we haven’t seen on the battle rap stage in a while, Mack Mel and D.O.T., meet up for a Banned URL battle and it’s a goodie with Mack’s serving up a gang of gritty street boasts, loaded gun lines and steely punchlines/personals, while the returning ‘Reach Gawd’ came through with his notorious palette of young G-theatrics amongst moments of witty banter/name flips/punches, trap talk and protruding reaches. A competitive battle throughout, the main difference here was the consistently spicy Mack unloading with enough steady heat to take the first two rounds with nary a sign of ring rust. On the other hand, while overall D.O.T. (minus his usual hypeman Gwitty) impressed here and there (esp. in Rd. 3 to force a debatable), too many dry spots and pedestrian bars from the BK spitter would assist in him losing the battle.
Verdict: Mack Mel (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Mack Mel – “.22 3’s, blow through his stomach, leave his liver cracked, now D.O.T. [dot] body on the floor…it’s a Twister match!”
