Recap: “Committed murder in the first degree before I got my first degree, I’m hood smart and book smart, but y’all act like it hurts to be, so y’all praise niggers who only know these guns and cigs, but I’m soft for trying to educate y’all dumb-ass kids?!” With cerebral haymakers like the aforementioned along with wicked (“Y’all niggas piss me off because you so lame, but like space jam water, when I got bottled up could change the whole game”) punchlines and a swarm of ill gun bars that’d make Tay Roc proud, Dre Dennis takes the first couple of rounds against an (“I’ll play Jenga withcha vertebrae”, the Nuborn scheme, etc.) earnest and performance-heavy, but inconsistent (state schemes are always ill-advised and the round 2 choke killed any chance of evening the match) Tink da Demon, to get the dub in this Proving Grounds matchup.
Verdict: Dre Dennis (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Dre Dennis – “My squad is reckless, nigga damn straight, we’ll clap then look the other way…that’s the Fresh Prince handshake!”
