Recap: Funny how much you can tell from a battle rapper by just listening to his flow. That’s especially the case here when taking in Rush Tyg’s bars, which for the most part are hardcore, but also lacking intricacy, that is when he’s not being unintentionally funny. Not that spending significant time locked up can’t make you a dope battle rapper (Snake Eyez is proof of that), but the unsportsmanlike veil threats in the battle, half mask on face and an unnecessary pocket check, kind of show that Rush may not quite be ready to be a professional at his craft. That said, this one-rounder was pretty much all Dre Dennis, scoring left and right with fiery punchlines, buoyant gun bars and rigid name flips throughout his turn, no matter what Rush came with, he wouldn’t have stood much of a chance.
Verdict: Dre Dennis (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dre Dennis – “I dropped a 100 pounds, but I pick one up quicker!”
