Recap: Eazy the Block Captain versus K-Shine on the Smack Volume 9 card deserves all its praises as the two put on a fire and competitive show throughout their 3 rounds. A cesspool of hard street rhymes, feening (Eazy: “I’ll get close to Shine, I got insight!”) wordplay, stinging punchlines, charismatic machismo, gripping gun bars, piercing personals and greasy name flips on both sides that coupled with Shine’s rich performance bars and Eazy’s instructional gutta talk made for a crowd-pleasing draw, this close battle comes down to a more condensed Shine edging round 1 before a more steady pounding Block Captain took round 2. The deciding 3rd round, equal on straight-laced heat and quantitative haymakers (with Eazy going a minute or so longer longer than Shine), makes this one debatable.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: K-Shine – “Before I had a gun, I had to be in the streets with just a star and a flag liek I’m Vietnamese!”
