Synopsis: Close call, but the edge here goes to K-Shine, partly due to overall better bars, schemes, the midget and IMO clearly winning round 3 (tho like him vs. Calicoe, he did O’D on the name flips). But then too, while Ars won round 1 handily, his clear disrespect of Shine (touching him several times and talking while he rapped throughout the battle) was wack for a vet and should lose him points on any card. Arsonal can do his disrespectful thing and put on a dope performance without breaking battle rap’s code of conduct. Plus, he knows damn well he wouldn’t have done that shit against certain other dudes. That being said, props to K-Shine for the win (esp. after the clear loss against Big T) and for literally being the bigger man on stage.
Verdict: K-Shine (W) 2-1
Best line: Arsonal – “You nothing but a Dot-mob flunkey, Rex never gonna promote you, Shine, what’s your first action when a terrorist approach you?, and I got the leverage to smoke you, these niggas hate seeing on they screen, you like the nigga in the Everest commercial”
