Ryda and Bandit Montana [DEBATABLE]

Recap: From URL’s Final Exam 2 card, Ryda and Bandit Montana put on a competitive show filled with hard-hitting punches, spirited gun bars, unbridled street talk and righteous personals. After the slightly more haymaker-friendly Ryda edged round one and the more punch drunk and consistently spicy Montana handily took the middle round to split things up going into round 3, a fly rebuttal by Montana would be offset by struggles with his flow, allowing an equally efficient Ryda (despite a few dry spots) Ryda to score with just enough heat to make this one a debatable.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Bandit Montana – “Son boring, a nigga like you in my hood get extorted, what you got?, what’s in ya pocket?, would’ve asked you them same questions every week like unemployment!”

40 B.A.R.R.S. defeats Bandit Montana

Recap: In a competitive 1-rounder from GOTG, although struggling a bit with his transitions and some subpar heat, Bandit Montana’s palette of hardbody punches (esp. liked the ‘God…CashApp’ bar), grip and gore still made their mark. But it’s a brazen 40 B.A.R.R.S., consistently flexing with some sublime name flips, hitting wordplay and braggadocios/stinging punchlines who scores more than enough haymakers to get the win here.

Verdict: 40 B.A.R.R.S. (W) 1-0

Favorite line: 40 B.A.R.R.S. – “You been here for 9 years but no one knows you, how the fuck you get your name?, I mean what kind of Bandit can’t even find a way to break into the Gates?!”

Nu Jerzey Twork defeats Bandit Montana


 

Recap: Main event 1-round battle from GOTG sees Bandit Montana and Nu Jerzey Twork trade a bunch of raucous street missives throughout their turns. But while Bandit kept it a bit entertaining too, pulling out a ‘old lady’ stunt double in lieu of Twork’s alleged robbery days, a lack of consistent heat from Montana and a gang of stifling name flips/gun bars by NJT ends up being the difference here.

Verdict: Nu Jerzey Twork (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Nu Jerzey Twork – “You ever seen the bullet would of a double-barrel?, it look like a Ferragamo belt!”

Th3 Saga defeats Bandit Montana

Recap: Solid, gritty and mocking effort by Bandit Montana gets beat back by a more consistently spicy, name flip-lit, mayhem-dishing and wordplay/set-up heavy Th3 Saga in this competitive 1-rounder from Gates of the Garden.

Verdict: Th3 Saga (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Th3 Saga – “So can I please get the respect I deserve?, after this round, or is there shade when I wig on Ban…I’m trying to skip town!”

Chef Trez defeats Bandit Montana

Recap: Well, you had to know that was coming. After an uber-gritty and aggressive Bandit Montana dished his best bar of the night, a dope, 2nd round, 4-bar set-up that ended with an emphatic ‘…barber chair’ punch, you just knew that Chef Trez was plotting an even flyer rebuttal. And that he did with a raucous ‘since they wanna boost a nigger, I’ll keep the baby in the seat’ dart that along with a gang of head-ringing gun bars, other feisty rebuts and piercing name flips/punchlines, gave the Chef a 30 in what was still a mostly competitive battle from GOTG.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “Don’t run, these bullets ain’t seen you in a minute…they good for catching up!

Bandit Montana defeats Holmzie Da God

Recap: The guy willing to sing usually wants it more anyway. Crooning at times when he wasn’t spitting hard punchlines as well as some fire personals and fiery gun bars, a more versatile Bandit Montana edges a solid, but a little too gun-crazy and Avatar-bar lit Holmzie Da God in this 1-rounder from the NY.

Verdict: Bandit Montana (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Bandit Montana – “You know what got me fucked up, you go like public about your mental issues my nigga, I hope you find somebody in that field for help, you remind me of that nigga who used to just text his bitch, if you don’t come home now I’m a kill myself!”
