Recap: A competitive, altogether fire and epic punch-fest with plenty of replay value, Geechi Gotti versus Ave is easily one of the best battles to go down in 2018. And damn if Ave, on his A-game throughout with a shitload of flexing (“My mans died, my mode was on ‘ride’, wasn’t even sleepin’ bro, then wifey caught me loadin’ the strap, lookin’ like, “Please don’t go!, two wrongs never make it right!”, [but] it make it even though!”) punches, some phenomenal wordplay and aggressive mayhem/gun play, didn’t do everything to win. But unfortunately for the Norfolk, VA rapper, Geechi, in rounds 1 and 3 (a superbly-executed classic) anyway, just did him one better. An urban alchemist when it comes to the bars, while Geechi’s real life street ethos usually garners the headlines, his ability to mix in dope personals, witty barbs, ‘random’ shots at whoever’s irking him at the time, storytelling bars and gritty (“‘Cuz I’m struggling with making it out the streets, and that’s one of the toughest problems to have, I’m just sayin’, my whole life I’ve been battlin’ the Ave!”) name flips/schemes, more often than not doesn’t get the credit it deserves. And that’s why Gotti wins here.
Verdict: Geechi Gotti (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Geechi Gotti – “My nigga, you remind me of 2Pac though, not ‘cuz of your bars or because the hood feel you, it’s just we seen you throw punches on cam, but we still think Suge killed you!
