Recap: As Florida Evans would say: ‘Damn! Damn! Damn!’ Ooops and Daylyt match up on the RBE stage to put on one of the realest rap battles ever, kicking so much emotions, real rap talk and soliloquies in their lines that you couldn’t ashamed to say if you were brought to tears. Not that really matters who won, but after Daylyt’s punchline game and rip-shredding bars edged him round one, Ooops continuous name flips got him round two, a deadlocked battle became a near-classic with a gut-wrenching 3rd. First, Daylyt (who perhaps inspired by Ooops conscious/poetic rap stylings decided early on to drop the antics for this battle) drops what is arguably his best round ever, with a consistent barrage of haymakers that gamely ripped apart all his naysayers, while giving you new understanding of what makes Daylyt so (“Steve Urkel should y’all that if a square randomly get a machine, then out of nowhere he a cool nigga”) gifted, controversial, (“It was pops at my front door every day, it was never dad!”) nuisanced and borderline schizophrenic. So stupendous was Daylyt’s round that the stunned look on Ooops face alone spoke volumes on the impact. Still, when he was finally ready to begin his round, Ooops used his turn to hit hard with some sentimental (“See you talking all that protesting shit, but we ain’t have to go to Selma to see what they went through”) analysis and personal real life gab that just as gamely moved the crowd. Daylyt’s delivery and righteous bar quotient got him the round and won him the battle but either way Daylyt vs. Ooops is another contender for Battle of the Year.
Verdict: Daylyt (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Daylyt -“When y’all say I’m stupid, God is the reason I got the face tat”
