Recap: Tsu Surf might have the bigger name, but battle rap politics aside, JC, who’s been calling out Loaded Lux for years, should’ve got this opportunity to battle him. And Lux probably had that in mind when he wrote his raps for this matchup. The veteran Harlem emcee getting downright flippant/personal with his pen, when he wasn’t kicking real shit about his place in the game to go along with spirited concoctions of verbal heat for 3 rounds. All the while, the ever boastful Surf, pride in his face and able to score at times with some hitting punches, still didn’t have the fortitude to avoid the occasional slip-up, no matter how many times he tried to run back his lines. A gritty offering on both sides with Surf coming at his best (and cleanest) in round 2, even a Lux who was never quite on his A-game, spazzes with enough consistency, drops enough intricate haymakers and with the help of an inconsistent opponent, delivers a 30.
Verdict: Loaded Lux (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Loaded Lux – “Dearly beloved, We are NOT gathered here today…for bullshit, when a dead man plan that’s usually a plot, right?, for the crypt, no, for the Crip, yeah, we came to see you off from the rip [R.I.P.]!”
