No Bias. No Narratives.
Recap: Goodz picks apart a clearly-not-on-his-level-Billy Boondocks with a confident palette of swagger bars, righteous (“I could call you in L.A. and make you go to the store!”) aplomb and some exquisite wordplay in this one-round battle from HoneyCombHideOut.
Verdict: Goodz (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Goodz – “You hot, where? Come see me, give him bars like I’m locked up, I’m on the top tier!”
Recap: Funny, entertaining, head-scratching and totally one-sided battle from AHAT sees Yung Griz somehow getting through all the crowd noise and interruptions from his wayward, totally unprepared, freestyling opponent throughout this bout and deliver 3 rounds (we’ll deem the 3rd, where Griz spit what amounted to a superior character assassination, a classic) of spitfire punchlines, scathing personals, piercing schemes, blistering gun bars and rugged name flips and beat back a pretty embarrassing effort from Billy Boondocks.
Verdict: Yung Griz (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Yung Griz – “You always saying you wanna lift up the West and that’s kinda why some of us new nigga’s try to look up to you, then we get a little buzz and nigga’s say we good and you try to troll to keep us under you and that’s why I can’t fuck with you!”
Recap: Redundant with the themes/bars during the middle of his turn, but punch/boast-heavy at the start of his round as well as towards the end with a nice mix of piercing personals blended in, Danny Myers is able to beat back a steady-flowing, but mostly pedestrian Billy Boondocks in this 1-rounder from Snoop Dogg’s Gladiator School.
Verdict: Danny Myers (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Danny Myers – “Your bars is something nobody listen to like Snoop’s No Limit albums!”
Recap: When a battle rapper spouts a ‘thank you for having me’ speech before he begins his 1st round, dishes an entire round of nursery school lines that each end in his opponent’s last name, drops microphone on the floor in a lame attempt at machismo and spits horrible bars like “You gonna get stuck, chewed the fuck up, left under these boots like gum Nitty!” with the sheer intensity (I’m guess that he thought that “Dope!” when he first wrote it tho) of a dude who clearly thinks he’s nice, not only do you know that you’re in for a long night, but one can only hope the crowd doesn’t throw stuff at him while they boo him off the stage. Yeah, this was that bad, to the point that you got the feeling that even Rum Nitty felt kind of sorry for the guy. Speaking, thankfully for the crowd in attendance and anyone who dares to watch this mismatch, he did his thing with consistently fire gun bars, steely punches and fiery wordplay that allowed for a battle where the fast forward button will certainly be needed.
Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-0 (couldn’t hear Nitty’s 2nd round due to bad audio)
Favorite line: Rum Nitty -“If a nigga get to fighting, I don’t lift no fist, you’ll see me squeezing in a brawl…that’s O’fficial’s tits!”
