Recap: Take away the annoying and way-too-involved host and you have an epic and hilarious “Compliment” battle brought to you from KOTD between Pat Stay and Rone. A welcome respite from the usual insults we see battle rappers hurl at each other, this 3-rounder was entertaining as hell with Rone and Pat doing their best to out-praise their opponent, using witty storytelling/schemes, silly anecdotes, whimsical gay innuendos, amusing personals and some deft, but still hysterical wordplay to do so. However, after an equal amount of humorous barbs in the opening rounds made for two debatable turns, it’s a more consistently comical and performance-heavy (presents included!) Rone who outlasts his opponent in the deciding 3rd for the win.
Verdict: Rone (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Rone – “I felt trauma cause I was ostracized for all of my life by the popular guys, but your positive vibe, your positive vibe, whoopsies…I just forgot all my lines for a second right there cause I was lost in your eyes!”
