Synopsis: In front of a gassed, but supportive crowd UK’s Dialect drops some memorable bars, punches (“You are not a nigga’!”), jokes, crowd pleasers and a Biggie/Pac scheme that was clearly winning. But as you’d expect, Cortez’s name flips, personals, “plane” scheme and wordplay made it a close battle. Give it to Dialect if only for displaying better consistency as Cortez’s two slip ups and failed rebuttal ended up doing him in.
Verdict: Dialect (W) 2-1
Best line: Cortez – “”I can body son with this Tommy gun so I keep it calm, [but] if that barrel poking out the window it’s a peeping Tom”
