Recap: Does a two-minute or 2:30 time limit per round even benefit Calicoe? A battler known for storytelling bars, righteous darts and expansive build-ups/breakdowns. That’s what I couldn’t help but think as the Detroit spitter continuusly complained about opponent John John Da Don allegedly going over the time limit during this 3-rounder from Bullpen Battle League. Either way, Cal wasn’t beating John John on this day. The Yonkers, NY to ATL vet matching his determination with a consistent display of fire punchlines, some gritty wordplay, rugged name flips, hitting personals and solid schemes to handily get the 30 over a way less efficient and spotty 3 rounds from Cal.
Verdict: John John Da Don (W) 3-0
Favorite line: John John Da Don – “You only at the table ‘cuz this the one you dying in, you ain’t really living this life you rapping, they only believe it’s real raps ‘cuz you lie with passion!”
