Recap: If it wasn’t for that lame Hitman Holla impersonation in a very close Round 1, this one would’ve been a 30 as Emerson Kennedy proceeds to use a variety of slick punchlines, potent (“He don’t talk letting the lead spit, I respect a weapon that end’s shit, I’ll never trust 2nd Commandment over the 2nd Amendment!”) personals and nifty (“You just Iverson with the braids, stuck on the fucking shelf, spent too much time on the cross and didn’t practice nothing else!”) wordplay to overtake an overall solid-till-the-end-of-his-3rd, spiritual and punch-heavy, but too often sermonizing Th3 Saga in this mostly fire Initiation battle from Smack/URL.
Verdict: Emerson Kennedy (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Th3 Saga – “I’m set apart, the oddball in my clique that won’t spray Ruger’s, the only who one who acts like my father…I’m O’Shea Jr.!”
