Recap: In this 1-rounder from Bring Ya Barz Battle League, Your Honor and Paine The Poet exchange a gang of boastful barbs, heated personals and residual mayhem that all make for a competitive match. And while Paine The Poet, more condensed with his turn and slightly steadier with the punches/personals/name flips makes a solid case for the win, even with an elongated round that was littered with filler, some added wit, dope (“I ain’t from the DMV, I’m from the District, get it right, for y’all rooting for him and praying that he probably win this fight?, I ain’t scared of ya, Miss America, this gonna be the body of the night!”) set-ups and the ability to drop roundhouse punchlines throughout his round, allows for Your Honor to do just enough for this one to be called a draw.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Paine The Poet – “Keep it handy, hit his crib, kids tied up in the pantry, mule kick your mom, snub pointed at granny then it’s Blue Ivy looking at daddy, you better pray this nose don’t run in the family!”
