Recap: A testament to the idea that URL would do better to really promote their respective PG classes, Steams vs Danny Myers (who both got their starts on Smack in 2015) definitely goes down as one of the best battles of 2017. The ever-crafty, clearly motivated and flow-crisp Steams turned in a sublime performance for 3 straight rounds with spicy punchline after punchline when he wasn’t spouting some sizzling wordplay, nasty scheems, persistent heat with the (“Or I’m at your door, puttin’ in pain (Payne) wit’ the Roscoe, it’s long, and the front of it drip: it’s a snot-nose!”) gun bars and fierce name flips/personals. While an always game Danny supplied a gang of aggressive West-coast bangers, witty (“Miss me with all the hi-jinks!, nigga, you 30, and best friends wit’ a nigga who can’t even buy drinks!”) personals, piercing name flips of his own and plenty of ringing mayhem. Each round was close, but after a debatable 1st, we have the slightly more consistent and punch-heavy Steams edging both of the latter two rounds for the win.
Verdict: Steams (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Steams – “Let me stop, ’cause I can’t understand the position this tranny’s under, with eight rugrats, this nigga has got to be scared of rubbers, the Ol’ Dirty Bastard, who likes it ‘Raw’, if a bitch fuck him, then I’m scared to touch her [Why?!], ‘cuz that pussy gotta be a Lethal Weapon even if Danny glove her [Glover]!”
