Recap: We gonna keep it consistent here. As for the umpteenth time: a choke is when you totally forget your bars and thus have to end your round. Secondly, a slip-up (which should still be penalized) is when you forget and/or mangle your bars during a round, but are still able to get it back and finish your turn. So miss me with Tay Roc telling the world (and his opponent Chef Trez) that he lost this 3-round URL Bars over Politics 3-rounder because he “choked” during round 3, when instead he slipped up midway and got it back to deliver what was still a pretty solid round. And while Roc did get edged in the 3rd, thanks in part to Trez having a cleaner and slightly more efficient run at it, that doesn’t take away from what happened in both of the earlier rounds. The more versatile Roc beating back a pretty dope, but gun bar-heavy and slightly less haymaker-lit Trez (who despite being complimented by Roc on his freestyle/rebuttal ability, ironically didn’t do much of it here) with some superb wordplay, 4-bar/hard-hitting back-to-back punchlines, plenty of graphic violence, steely gun bars, fire name flips, jaunty personals/storytelling bars and fiery gun lines of his own to earn the win.
Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Tay Roc – “Gun butt, scarred jaw, broke his wisdon, pull put a stick, up the nose for Covid symptoms!”
