Recap: Well, here’s something you never see: brother versus brother in a rap battle as Ace Da Great and YaBoyClip go head-to-head in this one-rounder for family bragging rights. And despite Clip being the vet of the two, altogether it’s not a bad battle…really. Granted, Ace Da Great spat some mediocre bars, but he still hit aplenty with a load of nice (“Since a kid I been good with these hands, everything I touch got static shock!”; “I’m emotional behind these bars, like I ain’t get a jail visit!”) punchlines and aggressive shiners, definitely showing that he came to win. However, with big bro Clips getting lit throughout with a variety of witty (“Yo Steams, by this nigga belly, my bro been reppin’ the Came life!”) personals, winning name flips and fiery wordplay, it’s the younger brother who’ll still have to wait his turn at the family reunion dinner table.
Verdict: YaBoyClip (W) 1-0
Favorite line: YaBoyClip – “He be working out, taking pictures at treadmills, but we never see you on ’em….yo I swear you a slow nigga, Austin Powers at Planet Fitness, I’m the reason you came in as a Gold member!”
