Recap: From RBE, let’s start with that ‘turn the Glock 40 on your bitch ass’ bar from A. Ward here in round 1 having to be in the running for Bar of the Year. Moving on, after the more eclectic, rebuttal spitting and just as hard-hitting Ward edged round 1, the latter couple of rounds would prove that Aye Verb can still stand tall with the best of them when he when he wants it bad enough. The St. Louis vet (who judging from all the shit-talking he did prior to this battle up in Twitter Sapces, is clearly the No. 1 battle rap promoter in the game) continuing to snap in round 2 with a gang of stealth punches, righteous darts, rich similes and rapid haymakers to take the second, despite a pretty solid and scheme-lit turn from Ward. Tied going into the 3rd, the final round would be a nail-biter with a condensed Verb still punching mightily and dishing stinging boasts at will. However, even with a beatable round from his opponent, the usage of some questionable/old angles by Ward coupled with a few dry spots during an elongated turn that overall just wasn’t as efficient, ultimately hands Verb the win.
Verdict: Aye Verb (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Aye Verb – “The cheers you getting?, they mean nothing ‘cuz blacks embrace they clones, cheers from me are worth double ‘cuz nigga’s hate their own!”
