Recap: Spirited matchup between Caustic and Big T sees the Cali rapper kill with the fat (“Look at him up here, acting like he a calm dude, you put some hot sauce on his grits, the shit will change his whole mood”; “One time this motherfucker did a somersault…shit took all summer!”) jokes, but fail to show much of anything else–an admitted bar deficiency that literally making him lean on what he does best: humor. In the meantime, Big T slowed down on the gun sounds and went instead with a steady mix of rich personals, potent (“This blade will scar bro [Scarborough] like a hood in Toronto”) wordplay and brash storytelling (“Nigga I’ll pull up to your door like it had a lift on it, and get to shooting at the door like somebody hung a plastic rim on it”) bars, all backed by a steely flow that stayed forthright enough to pull off the win.
Verdict: Big T (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Big T – “Chest shot, expose his heart, he ain’t got nothing but love for me”
