Brooklyn Carter

Jerry Wess defeats Brooklyn Carter

by


Recap: Hard fought 3-rounder from We Go Hard stands out with it’s variety of gritty punchlines, but also due to the underlying theme of two WGH vets who’ve reached very different levels of success when it comes to their battle rap career. And while the at times righteous-spitting Carter served up yet another splendid outing here, once again warranting bigger plates, it’s the slightly punch-heavier, rugged Brooklyn touring, metaphor/performance/scheme-stunting and personal-lit Wess who takes both of the latter rounds for the win after a first round debatable.

Verdict: Jerry Wess (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jerry Wess – “I get a nigger in Red Hook, stab him with something sharp bro, big knife, cut out a nice part in Brooklyn…Park Slope!”

Brooklyn Carter defeats Presidential Dubz

by


Recap: A couple of We Go Hard vets, Presidential Dubz and Brooklyn Carter, who’ve had more than share of small stage, but big league URL sparring in the past, meet up for a fiery 3-rounder on Smack’s Survivor Series Onyx card. The ever-aggressive and never lacking for confidence Dubz, does a strong job with a spicy mix of shrewd punchlines, performance-stunting heat, salacious personals and witty barbs, while Carter stays grimy with a boatload of gritty bars, boastful rants, fierce name flips, dope set-ups and hard-hitting personals of his own. A close one that saw the two split the first two rounds (which included a spitfire round 1 that Carter edged), after a solid turn by Dubz, a more consistently lit and punch-heavy Carter pulls out the win in the deciding 3rd.

Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Brooklyn Carter – “I’ll kill you and your nanny, bury you and your mother…since Puerto-Ricans like laying with they family!”

Brooklyn Carter defeats Dougy

by

Recap: Spirited and competitive grudge match between two WGH vets, Brooklyn Carter and Dougy, fittingly comes down to the 3rd round after the pair split the first rounds with an almost equal barrage of fiery gun lines, a few spicy personals here and there and potent punchlines that had Dougy edging the 1st, before B.C came back barking a little harder to edge the 2nd. However, after a solid and fiery (but redundant with the ‘tongue ring’ personals) turn by Dougy and a bit of a slow start to his turn, a confident and raucous Carter comes back punching heavy from a variety of angles dipped with more than enough visceral haymakers to take the round and earn the win.

Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Brooklyn Carter – “Switch the tactic, I grip the ‘matic and get dramatic, Electric Slide, I do numbers on the floor with bodies, it’s systematic!”

Ish Mulah defeats Brooklyn Carter

by

Recap: Been hearing some chatter around Ish Mulah retiring soon. But if he changed his mind after this dope one-rounder, could you blame him? Using a plethora of nasty personals and some spitfire braggadocio bars, the ever aggressive We Go Hard vet puts a hurting on and easily beats back an elongated and mostly pedestrian Brooklyn Carter.

Verdict: Ish Mulah (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Ish Mulah – “We ain’t the same lame, Oh, this is where the game change?, I’ll switch cartridges, shit look like I changed games, ain’t nothing else to do after you beat the main stage!”

Brooklyn Carter defeats Gwitty

by

Recap: Deftly using props, more prepared with the personals and all in all more direct with approach than his anecdote-heavy opponent and coming off a couple of subpar performances on the URL stage, a consistently nicer Brooklyn Carter gets back in his bag all the while spazzing astutely on a seemingly lesser inspired Gwitty.

Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Brooklyn Carter – “I ain’t take this battle because it was him, I took this battle to get under your skin and boooyyyy you’ll be bubbling then!”

Teewhy defeats Brooklyn Carter

by

Recap: An apparent grudge match between Brooklyn Carter and Teewhy gets decided by witty personals from the NJ rapper, who after proving his mettle and matching his opponent in steely name flips, crazy (“Y’all thought this would be a classic?, I don’t see why [C Y], stop comparing me, the similarity literally ends with Teewhy [T Y]!”) wordplay, fiery punchlines and potent bars, stood out more when he called out BC’s URL standing in a wild 3rd round and flipped on BC’s infamous YouTube rant against Cortez. No doubt, Carter was solid throughout, (“‘Cuz where I’m from, less is more, he usually the first to take flight, like the 2nd floor!”) punching and scheming hard with venom, especially in the 1st (which he won clearly after Teewhy fumbled to the point of embarrassingly having to pull his phone out at the start of his round) and 3rd rounds. But a lack of overall versatility from BC along with a solid, but none too spectacular 2nd round, before stepping up with a ferocious final round that would’ve beat most opponent’s, should give Carter another look on the ‘main stage’. But it just wasn’t enough to overcome Teewhy’s steadier comeuppance and more multifaceted bars.

Verdict: Teewhy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Teewhy – “That’s punching, your shit Instagram likes, they all love taps!”

Franchise defeats Brooklyn Carter

by

Recap: Long-awaited matchup between KOTD’s Franchise and Brooklyn Carter turns out to be pretty solid with a wide assortment of nice schemes, potent gun bars, righteous (BC: “I’ll treat him just like a Franchise, I’ll keep giving him bucks untikl the caps gone!”) name flips and fierce (Franchise: “Think Biggie in the studio, my ratchet lil Kim, we all know that you ate Lil pussy!”) wordplay/punchlines. However, after splitting the first two rounds, while both battlers continued to make it competitive what with plenty of gas left in their tanks, it’s Franchise, with a more consistent and steadier barrage of heated and aggressive lines than his opponent, that ends up taking this one home for Canada.

Verdict: Franchise (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Franchise – Head shot…make a body fly across the room like Twerk push!”

Brooklyn Carter defeats Fliiko L

by

Recap: Brooklyn Carter gets a nice road win, stealing on opponent Fliiko L with a steady stream of righteous punchlines and vociferous (“Oh I get it, he more like a leprechaun in a drought…out of luck!”) set-ups throughout his 3 rounds. That’s a well-earned win in this book as for all of Fliiko L’s confidence, after a close 1st, the few (“You could die from the set-up, it’s a conspiracy!”) shiners he managed to spit were surrounded by way too many basic bars in an elongated 2nd and 3rd.

Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Brooklyn Carter – “No Saga, I keep my palm greased!”

Brooklyn Carter defeats Al 40 Cal

by

Recap: Putting aside an inconsistent Al 40 Cal’s gritty and sometimes unintentionally (“Loyalty is when a nigger take a bullet for you…and die!”) funny bars, Brooklyn Carter, consistent with the heat throughout and dropping caustic mayhem along with aggressive name flips/schemes during a slow-to-build-up, but inevitably fire turn, easily takes this 1-rounder from WeGoHardTV.

Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Brooklyn Carter – “You know your Math, you know how to subtract and add?, well if I let off a round off this .38, it’s still hitting 40!”

Brooklyn Carter defeats Young Steady

by

Recap: Showing off a sense of humor, a little more finesse with the (“Get your whole nation rocked, I keep a Khaled!”) bars and definitely more duplicitous with his wordplay, Brooklyn Carter slays a (“If he saying my name, I’m not fisting him, just a bullet in one ear and out the other, he’s not listening!”) solid, but took-too-long-to-heat-up Young Steady in this one-rounder from HomegrownBGCT.

Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Brooklyn Carter –  “It’s time to teach nigga’s like you not to be spitting, ya gotta be kidding, wouldn’t possibly listen, like the time my mama tried to convince me broccoli’s chicken!”

Brooklyn Carter defeats Illanoiz

by

Recap: Loud, bar-heavy, heat-ready, name-flip savvy, close and gritty PG battle between the rarely seen, but always on point (“I will shoot you in front of your son, you can crawl with him”) Illanoiz and lyrical barsmith (“City gave me my own platform to build a brand, that’s why I’m called Brooklyn!”) Brooklyn Carter comes down to the 2nd round, which a more condensed and consistent B.C. edges after also taking the 1st. An aggressive and pretty solid battle overall, even with B.C. getting the win early, peep a versatile and fire 3rd round from Illanoiz that’s riddled with haymakers.

Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Brooklyn Carter – “This battle like Jazz walking away, it’s a flat body, but it’s still cool to look at!”

Brooklyn Carter defeats Relly Rell

by

Recap: 3-rounder from Danger Zone Battle League features Brooklyn Carter unloading a boatload of mayhem, rich gun lines and some dope wordplay for 3 rounds and an excitable Relly Rell, apparently holding a grudge over some personal/battle rap shit that took place beforehand, literally going T-Rex on his opponent in a heated 3rd round turn that was highlighted by Rell slamming down of his cap. Other than that, Carter’s more consistently nice and potent raps easily outpoints the mostly basic lines of Rell in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, while we score the 1st a draw only due to a nice rebuttal by Rell.

Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Brooklyn Carter – “I keep the piece, I need the heat, a face shot will make his head dangle like a Jesus piece!”

Chess defeats Brooklyn Carter

by

Recap: Bar snobs will delight in this one as Chess and Brooklyn Carter go toe-to-toe for 3 rounds with a wide load of gripping punchlines, rich wordplay and steady performance bars. Both brought plenty of heat with Chess winning the crowd over and over with fiery lines like “Split this guy in parts, use body parts for souvenirs” and “You hype now?, Mario game, pipe down!” Still, the always animated Carter held his own, relishing in urban (“I do bids, think grandma going to bed, how I remove wig”) theatrics  while making his comeuppance (“What you know about your moms asking what you want to eat nigga…and never coming back from the store!?’) readily known throughout the battle. Close and competitive battle throughout with little personals, the difference came down to Chess being more condensed and consistent with his bars while Carter took too long with some of his set-ups/angles, especially in rounds 1 and 2.

Verdict: Chess (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chess – “Silly rabbit, I go stupid hare [here]’

Brooklyn Carter defeats Bedaffi Green

by

Recap: A consistently aggressive and sometimes (“…before your whip turn, I’ll let you talk to teh Smoke from ya car, Big Worm!”) potent Bedaffi Green not only does a bad impression of his opponent, but spits a too-short 2nd round and altogether too many basic bars to stand any chance against Brooklyn Carter, who besides the rare (“Fuck Mr. Bean, I’ll pull up, say nothing, the clip spit liek Silent Bob!”) mid-round rebuttal, uses a plethora of fiery name flips, fierce wordplay/schemes, nice double entendre’s and hard-hitting (“A headshot, I let a couple ring together, that’s wedlock!”) punches to land the 3-0.

Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Brooklyn Carter – “Released another clip and knocked off his dreadlocks, I left the crime scene so ugly…what happened bro?, niggas thought O-Red died!”

Brooklyn Carter defeats King Moneyy

by

Recap: Consistency, never wasting bars, what a difference maker. Add the repeated name flips, delivery, potent (“Niggas literally dying to be fire, no cinnamon challenge”) bars and a not-so-nice 3rd round by King Moneyy, Brooklyn Carter gets this one on what was otherwise an electrifying battle–arguably one of the better PG battles of 2014.

Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 2-1

Favorite line: King Moneyy – “I’m walking around with that ‘Wish a nigga would’ that’s all a ‘G’ needs [genie]”

Brooklyn Carter defeats Punchline

by

Recap: Except for a debatable 2nd round that saw Punchline’s fixed cadence produce some hotter punches/schemes, this one’s all Brooklyn Carter, who uses a barrage of aggressive and gritty bars/wordplay to unload a host of bedlam and easily take the 1st and 3rd round’s of this NCBL battle.

Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Brooklyn Carter – “You don’t want this kind of work, you should clock out when I clock in, it only took 4 lines to leave him boxed in!”

Brooklyn Carter defeats Bonus

by

Recap: Another one of those 1-round battles that should’ve been a 3-rounder as Brooklyn Carter and Bonus kept it live, bar-heavy (Bonus: “Speaking of black halls let me pitch this lesson, you act like you out of this world with a Smith-n-Wesson, that .22 I said you had? You need a different weapon, try to ring me with that and get a ring back while I get a star 67”; Brooklyn Carter: “Niggas upper half be tough but they moves fishy, you’ze a Merman”) and competitive throughout their rounds. However, edge here goes to Carter for slightly better wordplay, more variety and nicer storytelling bars

Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Brooklyn Carter – “After I earth you I’m with the bitch who birthed you, she could get murked too, they gonna have to pull your mother out the sofa…like the Old Spice commercial”

Brooklyn Carter defeats Xcel

by

Recap: Whew! Brooklyn Carter spazzing from jump with haymaker after haymaker combined with a slow start by Xcel (his 3rd was definitely where he hit the most) gives BC an easy dub.

Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Brooklyn Carter – “I’ll pop X with more than one pill, it ain’t a molly, I left him lying without a poly, just his head, leg, arms…but I took the body”

Steams and Brooklyn Carter (DEBATABLE)

by

Recap: Hard to go against Steams again, as he always represents with the passion, delivery and the (“You can’t replace hot bars with…A…C…not even some of the time”) bars. But some of his schemes take too long to hit while not quite meeting his energy. Then too, as is the case here, sometimes his opponent just ups the ante and puts on a better show. But while Brooklyn Carter stayed in beastmode throughout, too many of bars could’ve been used against anybody and if you listen closely, there were definitely some line flips and filler. Bar wise I give it to Carter, but creativity and originality I give it to Steams. You can make a good case for either guy tho.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line:  Brooklyn Carter – “If I put that 5 on your back….[burps] I’m not trying to burp you!”

Blade Brown defeats Brooklyn Carter

by

Recap: A strong, but debatable 3rd round and a light, but debatable 2nd allows this one to come down to the 1st, which the more potent and more diverse with the bars Blade Brown took with relative ease over a one-themed Brooklyn Carter.

Verdict: Blade Brown (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Blade Brown – “You fucking suck, act tough and I’ll have something clutch in both palms, waving both arms like it’s double-dutch!”

Brooklyn Carter defeats Boogie Flamez

by

Recap: Edging the first couple of rounds with a steadily cohesive flow and better, quality bars, Brooklyn Carter is able to hang in there and withstand what was a pretty (“I throw bullets like Eli, so if he play for Green Bay then I’m a Aaron [airing] Rodgers!”) ferocious 3rd round from Boogie Flamez.

Verdict: Brooklyn Carter (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Brooklyn Carter – “Yo Rell, this nigga like to tweet a lot, well follow me and you’ll get the pound when I get the piece from Ock!”

Showoff defeats Brooklyn Carter

by

Recap: Showoff uses aggressively rugged, raw and rudimentary bars plus some ill schemes to easily take out an early in his battle career and not-quite-ready-for-primetime Brooklyn Carter, who’s clearly gotten a lot better since this one-round matchup from WeGoHard..

Verdict: Showoff (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Showoff – “I heard the nigga crip, cool, but he put in work for them blood niggas, I asked him ‘Why?’, he replied like a crip ‘Cuz nigga'”
