Recap: A credit to Conceited and Hitman Holla’s popularity that a battle with one of the worst 3rd rounds in history could have over 5 million views. And to think, here we see a vet like Hitman literally giving up a round and trying to make up for it by rehashing some of his own standout lines from past battles followed up by a grandiose puncher like Conceited (who for some reason failed to insert more of his notorious ‘Slow It Down’ bar storms into his raps for this battle) delivering probably his weakest round ever in that same 3rd round?!? Not only was that torturous to watch, but if I was a paying customer I’d be a little upset with these two. That said, Hitman’s hard-flexing, witty, personal-heavy, name flip-spazzing and remix-snapping 1st edges a punchline-lit, but not as performance-heavy turn by Con in the 1st round, before Hitman also takes the 2nd with a more condensed turn that was also surprisingly punch-heavy at times and more consistently spicy then his opponent. Thanks in part to Hitman’s many shortcomings in the 3rd, even with a subpar turn of his own, a non-choking Con gets a final round that his opponent had already handed him.
Verdict: Hitman Holla (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Hitman Holla – “You don’t really want that action, you worried about matching!”
