Recap: In a battle that was apparently supposed to happen earlier this year, Fonz and Bad Newz were still able to put on a dope and competitive contest for 3 rounds on Bullpen Battle League. Indeed, what with plenty of aggressive darts on both sides, the energy in the room was matched with a plethora of hard-hitting punchlines, rich metaphors, gritty street lines, boastful barbs and wily personals from two battlers who both came to win. However, Newz’s constant stumbling block of overwriting, present in all 3 rounds and fixated on repeated themes, combined with a more condensed Fonz also adding some witty personals, steely wordplay and pretty solid storytelling to mix, allows The Landlord to edge rounds 1 and 2 for the win before a debatable 3rd.
Verdict: Fonz (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Fonz – “You fought a nigga with one eye, you a true bitch, I bet if that nigga had two eyes you wouldn’t do shit!”
