Recap: From The Riot, longtime battle rap vet Ill Mac doesn’t come outside as often as he used to, but when he does touch down, one thing is certain: You’re guaranteed to get a goodie. And here in this 3-rounder against Geechi Gotti, it’s a competitive and an impressive showing on both sides. Gotti, with a gang of bullish darts, fiery gun bars, some solid off-the-dome heat, witty personals and wily street tales stayed on point. While Mac’s righteous raps, spiffy wordplay/freestyles/rebuttals, piercing set-up/punclines and braggadocious zingers rarely allowed for any rust. A hard-hitting, but congenial bout between a couple of West-coast elites that also featured a few cameo’s from Geechi’s ‘G.O.A.T.’ cap, with round 1 being debatable, it’s the more punch-heavy Gotti who takes round 2 and edges round 3 for the win.
Verdict: Geechi Gotti (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Geechi Gotti – “This a gangsta vs. a skater, I’m not a hater, but the grind different, you gonna thank me later!”
