Flamez taking advantage of an overall solid (esp. when she used her wit and personals), but shaky at times with the flow, slow set-up/punching and imperceptive opponent with a steady barrage sublime punchlines/metaphors, wicked gun bars. fiery name flips and potent wordplay/similes to handily take all three rounds for the 30.

Recap: From URL’s Kings vs. Queens 3 card, despite an also wordplay-spicy C3 dishing a barrel of hardbody personals that we haven’t seen the likes of against JC since his Bigg K battle, the consistently fiery Michigan vet lets loose with a gang of Godbody punchlines, stifling name flips, hitting braggadocious bars and witty/piercing personals to take rounds 1 and 3 (w/ C3 additionally adding a couple of dope rebuttals to a punch-lit on both sides turn, call the 2nd round debatable) for the win in what as a highly competitive matchup.
Verdict: JC (W) 2-1
Favorite line: JC – “I lot of y’all can’t find a reason to beat up a bitch…I see 3 [C3]!”
Recap: From The Rap Committee, only a week after her Yoshi G battle, a slightly more consistent Pristavia uses a gang of blistering punchlines/schemes, some intertwined Godspeak, noble name flips and a bunch of piercing personals to take the 1st and 3rd rounds and beat back a righteous, wordplay-heavy at times and witty/personal-lit C3 in what was a competitive 3-rounder.
Verdict: Pristavia (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Pristavia – “This was a foolish intent, I’m as true as it get, I’ll go to every crib you ever lived in and burn up all your dresses…like you as a kid!”
Recap: In a salacious-at-times battle between a rapper known for stellar wordplay (C3) and another known for her punching power and relentless mayhem (Viixen The Assassin), despite some light struggles with her flow here and there, it’s the slightly more set-up rich and haymaker-lit Viixen who edges both of the opening rounds for the win in this URL/QOTR No Holds Barred 3 bout, before a righteous-talking and personal-lit C3 took the 3rd.
Verdict: Viixen The Assassin (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Viixen The Assassin – “One shot will fuck up her features, I’ll leave this shit a cold case, Ice-T daughter, the baby got the whole face!”
Recap: In this Kings vs. Queens battle from URL, C3 uses a gang of spicy personals, well-executed schemes and fierce punchlines to keep it close against Rum Nitty. But Nitty’s wide range of blistering gun bars, boastful shiners, meaty name flips and downright nasty personals are more than enough to take rounds 1 and 3 (call the 2nd a debatable) for the win.
Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “I can’t stunt, I’ve been itching to lace fronts, one of these bitches gonna get it in they head Smack, let’s rap!”
Recap: Spouting a consistent and aggressive array of gritty punchlines, self-deprecating barbs, fiery mayhem/wordplay and some solid name flips, Southern battle rapper Casey Jay edges a rebuttal-lit and punch-heavy at times, but less consistent with the heat C3 in this 1-rounder from Houston Bar Code.
Verdict: Casey Jay (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Casey Jay – “Try to play tough, this chopper will raise C like I’m trying to get my grades up!”
Recap: In this 1-rounder from Queen of the Ring, a gritty, wordplay/personal-heavy and aggressive Chayna Ashley having a better 1st half then her 2nd proves to be a non-starter as opponent C3’s struggles with her flow (even in the midst of some hard-hitting personals/punches and a fire freestyle thrown at Chayna’s hypeman T-Rex) throughout the bout prove to be her undoing with an eventual choke giving the battle to Ms. Ashley.
Verdict: Chayna Ashley (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Chayna Ashley – “Now you fucking with a true vet, think random, I don’t choose wreck, veer aside, right by the big names like blue checks!”
Recap: Gates of the Garden 1-rounder between C3 and Dre Dennis sees the former spit a solid round littered with a few nice rebuttals, sanguine verbal gymnastics and gritty mayhem. But one too many pedestrian bars from C3 along with a more versatile and entertaining Dre Dennis, who seemed to score at every opportunity, especially when it came to fire/witty personals, heated punchlines, lofty gun lines and potent name flips/set-ups, puts another dub in the Loud Boys column.
Verdict: Dre Dennis (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dre Dennis – “Ruger airing, shoot a parent, emergency pops last, put mama down firsr like Emergency contact!”
Recap: Dope 1-rounder between C3 and Coffee Brown sees the former get plenty lit with wit, spicy name flips, some potent wordplay and pointed braggadocio bars. However, it’s a more versatile Ms. Brown, delivering more consistent heat via spitfire punchlines, jaunty personals, visceral schemes, lofty haymakers and stinging set-ups, who ends up taking this one.
Verdict: Coffee Brown (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Coffee Brown – “You’re a dyke, you think we believe you shooting when shit get tough?, stop the fuss, you pull a strap, that shit never bust!”
Recap: In this 1-round Battle on the Beat matchup from CypherCity TV, Bonnie Godiva gets a little payback for her loss to C3 on QOTR some years back with 2 minutes of lyrical ecstasy, rapping in unison with the beat and pouncing on her mostly pedestrian opponent from jump with a barrage of hard-hitting punchlines to get the win.
Verdict: Bonnie Godiva (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Bonnie Godiva – “Either keep it PG or you’ll get Smacked like one!”
Recap: After a debatable 1st round here in this QOTR/Bullpen battle against C3, Riggz’s more animated/spicy punchlines, swerving gun bars and piercing schemes in the latter rounds do enough damage to take rounds 1 and 3 from an opponent, who while dishing a punch-heavy and oft-witty pen throughout the match, when she wasn’t struggling with her flow, couldn’t muster the amount of heat in the following rounds as she brought in round 1.
Verdict: Riggz (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Riggz – “This ratchet do numbers out this world…it got Hidden Figures!”
Recap: Normally battling dudes, Tay Roc steps away from the testosterone to have some fun with C3 on the Queen of the Ring stage. Round 1 is all Roc, literally getting mean with it through the use of too cold (“You’re not a bitch, you look like a man, let’s fight, I brought a strap, y’all better hope this tran’s vest tight [transvestite]”) personals, vicious gun bars and sick (“Real rap bitch, watch your mouth, don’t think Roc is ya friend, if I hear the wrong bar B [Barbie], you’ll end up in a box with’cha kin [Ken]!”) punchlines that easily took out an alright and too drenched with elongated set-ups turn by C3. Showing off his versatility in the second round, Roc steps away from the personals and switches it up for mostly name flips and it works what with Roc’s consistently aggressive flow now backed up by repeated (“The first bitch run up on me looking like a nigga?!, she gets it, the shit kick like a horse, it’ll go upside C biscuit! [Seabiscuit]”; “Bitch you don’t want none of this shit, keep talking, the clip a retired Crip, it’ll stop C walking!”) epithets that landed and got Tay another round. Last round featured another solid (“Roc the type to go in your pussy hole with a pocket knife!”) round by Roc versus what was easily C3’s best round what with more consistently fiery wordplay, queasy jokes and a DC (“Or maybe you just want the woman to pull out that Hawk man [Hawkman], for every need I got him, but Babs I don’t know you even invited him, like he could adjust [to] this league, this DC nigga a comic!”) comic scheme that scored. Still, for all of C3’s style points in the last round, it wasn’t quite enough to overcome Roc’s overall uniformity and bar quotient to avoid the 3-0.
Verdict: Tay Roc (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Tay Roc – “Bitch, you should focus more on being ladylike, you look like the lazy type, that don’t bathe, you wash up at the sink, with no soap, you just using baby wipes!”
Recap: Landing (“You lucky bitch, this should have been on a different card, it’s like you moved up on the donor’s list, is how you was given Hart [heart]”) haymakers without conscious, dropping hard (“They said shit I could expose but why bother, you’ll turn Clips and scream you was raised by your mama, salute that, she taught you morals, how to stand up with honor, but all that ass, they say you got it from your father!”) personals that literally had her opponent get caught up in her emotions and spitting a higher (“School’s in, recess over, who’s next in line?, everybody gotta learn, it’s no child left behind!”) bar quotient throughout with a flourescent flow and agile delivery, E-Hart delivers the goods with enough fire in rounds 1 and 2 to take out a highly (“‘Cuz I came to bomb on you, in this letter I wrote, every page grenades, strapped with razor blades, to cut Hart like we playing spades”!) competitive, but not as consistent C3. Obviously still thinking she could take the match, a more aggressive C3 saved her strongest (“…’cuz I wanna know, how you make it so far E, when you never been charged up enough to go Back to Back?”) round for the 3rd, but despite some (“But keep up with me, because MC squared, that’s a two, but what happens when you give that emcee 3?, she getting cubed”; “If y’all thought she was gonna school me like Joe Clark, I guess everybody on E side [Eastside] high”) shiners and crazy wordplay here and there, a little too much filler, elongated set-ups, schemes that failed to land and Hart’s dazzling performance cost her early.
Verdict: E-Hart (W) 2-1
Favorite line: E-Hart – “I’m laughing at how these hoes be acting, I’m twice as real, if I ain’t got it, I’ll reach for your gun, like I like to steal, y’all like that ignorant shit, but I’m righteous still, the left keep the peace, but nigga I got a right to kill!”)
Recap: Besides delivering a gritty (and witty at times) talking too on Bonnie Godiva’s alleged personal life, battle rap drama, wayward aggression and even her looks, C3 also holds nothing back on her opponent when it comes to salacious darts, righteous punches, clever set-ups, flexing wordplay and piercing name flips in this 3-rounder from QOTR. And while Bonnie too came hard throughout this battle (esp. during a dope 3rd that saw a spitfire rebuttal) with a versatile punch-game that once again proved how much her pen has improved over time, one too many shots at heads that weren’t her opponent, in addition to a slight lack of consistency with the heat, allows C3 to handily take both of the opening rounds for the win before a debatable 3rd.
Verdict: C3 (W) 2-1
Favorite line: C3 – “You ain’t gonna understand these rounds I’m giving you till later, I teach like Mr. Miyagi Bonnie!’
Recap: Dope, spirited and competitive battle between C3 and O’fficial on Queen of the Ring is highlighted by a barrage of braggadocio bangers, steady name flips and spicy wordplay/personals by C3 as well as fierce punchlines, solid heaters/personals and bodacious schemes by O’fficial. With O’fficial coming (“You big booty bitch, you wack as shit, with that big ass, how the fuck you find a strap to fit?!”) back late during her turn to edge the 1st round before C3 came back with a killer (“It’s amazing you could name a list of people that’s fucking me, and I can’t think of one dick that would admit that they fucking you!”) rebuttal, amped up punches and just-as-fire bars to take round 2, the 3rd and deciding round goes to C3. Who while elongated with her turn, still managed to go ham with a mix of punches that included some nice freestyles, stellar, in-ya-face idiosyncrasy and a load of hard wordplay to beat back a solid, but not as consistent (and a little redundant) turn by O’fficial.
Verdict: C3 (W) 2-1
Favorite line: C3 – “That’s probably why she can’t keep a guy or she having trouble getting one, this ring is fucking so important to you ‘cuz you know a nigger would never give you one!”
