Chilla Jones defeats Charlie Clips

by

Recap: Turns out that Charlie Clips and Chilla Jones had a battle like 4 years ago on KOTD that never made YouTube thanks to Clips being sick throughout the battle, presumably choking twice, but thanks to a biased crowd, Clips was awarded with the win (at least, that’s Chilla Jones’ version). Well, whatever you want to believe happened back then, it’s a godo thing they decided to try again as the two meet here on Black Ice and for the most part put on a quality, 3-round show that met the crowd’s expectations. First round was close and filled with hardbody (Jones: “I see everybody talking, well you can get the truth from me, no fronting, too many ego’s bumping, so I had to clear the block like Debo coming!”) punches and dope (Clips: “…since you got it in for Mills, now about the .9 back up whatever the semi lack?!”) schemes from both battles, but a more cohesive and versatile Jones edged would could’ve been a debatable round. 2nd round, which ironically turned out to be the worse, saw Jones score with a personal/mocking-themed turn that kept the match buzzing, but a couple of nice rebuttals, potent (“I’ll bang his head against the handle, till I unlock it with his face like an iPhone X!”) bars and a pretty pedestrian (for him anyway) and predictable round from Clips, got Jones another round. Some more nice personals and rich set-ups from Chilla kept things competitive in the final round before he floundered a bit towards the end. But with apparently plenty of gas left in his tank, Clips was able to turn it up, getting busy with charismatic haymakers, a couple dope (“Two leg shots, you’ll have to [points to guy in crowd in a wheelchair] ask him to his wheelchair!”) freestyle’s and rebuttals as well as intense storytelling bars and witty schemes, to take the final round and avoid getting 3-0’d.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “Your mind different?, well, here’s an Atlanta hawk for thinking unique!”

Chilla Jones defeats Illmaculate

by

Recap: Close, but a bit of a lethargic matchup between Illmaculate and Chilla Jones showcases some irony in that Illmac’s choice to go so hard on his opponent’s scheme-heavy rep is not only met with a versatile pallette punches, personal and schemes from (“Probably long nose, like it gotta be Gonzo, you’ll hear his [it] Pop so much, you would’ve thought it was Lonzo!”) Chilla, but Mac’s own standing for being one of the wittier battle rappers around, didn’t quite match his prestige here. Still, after edging the 1st round with steadier batch of punches and failing to take the 2nd due in part to Illmac’s comeuppance on the haymakers and dope (“Don’t Flop Chilla, or it’s no shots, you’ll get your soul swapper, Necrophiliac, dead-ass, you getting cold-cocked!”) wordplay, it’s Jones who edges the last, deciding round with a nice rebuttal and a more versatile alloy of heated zingers.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “Nintendo Punchout the only time Little Mac was a star in the game!”

Chilla Jones defeats Madflex

by

Recap: In what was a straight-up punch-fest throughout, after a debatable 1st round with Madflex, Chilla Jones spices up his punches with some fiery wordplay and killer personals/name flips in the latter rounds all the while taking advantage of a shortened 2nd round as well as a flow-challenged 3rd from his opponent to take this 3-rounder from BOTZ Battles.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “You wanna know why they show me love in this town brother?, ‘cuz I been fucking with the West on the low long as LeBron mother!”

Chilla Jones defeats Gjonaj

by

Recap: Replete with hitting personals, nifty (Chilla: “Think it’s funny, for you dropping tiers [tears]?, laugh now, cry later, die hater!”) wordplay, hard (Gjonaj: “I got your bitch on her knees, I don’t mean to use religion, but she attached to the wood like a Crucifixion!”) punchlines and, of course, some hardbody schemes, Chilla Jones and Gjonaj keep it tight enough to split the first two rounds here in this 3-round battle from KOTD. But after Gjonaj delivers a nice Super Mario 3 bar in the midst of a pretty solid 3rd round, it’s Chilla who spouts the rare middle-of-the-round (“And you right, the shit is Super Mario, I first thought it was strange, but nigga’s battle rap ‘cuz a good job is not in their range, and they don’t want to jump up to hit the block for some change!”) rebuttal to edge the round and earn the win.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Gjonaj – “Bitch you’re not Top Tier, stop the lies, Pay-Per-View sales are down this year, I’m not surprised, because it’s hard to skip his rounds when you’re watching live!”

Chilla Jones defeats Arsonal

by

Recap: A hardbody, disrespectful and sometimes witty Arsonal versus a punch-heavy, wordplay-savvy, fiery scheme dishing and personal-leaning Chilla Jones makes for a competitive and dope 3-round battle on the UDubb stage. But after an aggressive-on-both-sides, but debatable 1st round, Chilla Jones just proves to be too much to handle in the latter rounds, spitting more consistently potent bars with rampant flair in the 2nd and 3rd to edge both against a pretty solid, but a bit filler-prone turns by Ars.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “My mind right, lyrically zoned, I’m too much of a monster for Red Bull, it’s in my energy homes!”

Charron defeats Chilla Jones

by

Recap: Don’t Flop battle between Chilla Jones and Charron fails to showcase either battler on their A-game as a topsy-turvy Jones went overkill on a couple of angles/personals, while overall we’ve seen much better punches and name flips from his Canadian opponent. One thing, however, that was pretty consistent in this bout was Charron’s wit and after the two battlers split the first two rounds, going up against a pretty subpar turn from Chilla, Charron uses a boatload of fiery punchlines and witty barbs/personals to easily take the deciding round for the win.

Verdict: Charron (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Charron – “Don’t take offense, when sheep can’t sleep they count your schemes going over the fence!”

Chilla Jones defeats Thesaurus

by

Recap: In this 3-rounder from Boston’s 413 Battle League, Thesaurus puts up a pretty dope fight, punching with the kind of crazy efficiency over the course of 3 rounds to remind you why he’s one of the most respected vets in the game. But with the battle split going into the final round and after withstanding another fiery turn from his opponent, the already scheme-heavy Chilla gets extra versatile and busy in the 3rd, dishing a rich palette of scorching lyricism, well-finessed wordplay and spicy punchlines/personals to edge the round and gain the win in what was a fierce and competitive battle all the way through.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “You getting screwed by this L, minus the Allen wrench!”

Chilla Jones defeats Arcane

by

Recap: Some nice (“I’m cold Chilla, this ain’t a battle I’m here to coach Chilla, you ain’t headlining Coachella, you flying coach Chilla!”) quotables delivered here and there by Arcane. But too many pedestrian bars by the former KOTD champ, along with a crazy (“…who wrote that shit?”) rebuttal as well as solid (“I’m cold dog. slush puppy!”) wordplay/punchlines in the 2nd and 3rd rounds from Chilla Jones gets Boss-town the win in front of what sounded like an oft-times lethargic Toronto crowd.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “They don’t want to see Albino [Al buying bars], if they did I would’ve taken Villun!”

Cortez defeats Chilla Jones

by

Recap: Close battle between Chilla Jones and Cortez pretty much down to hit harder and had a higher bar quotient in the 3rd. Nothing against Chilla’s 1st besides some filler and elongated set-ups in what was otherwise a pretty (“I’m like a frequent flyer, I stay tripping”) solid round, but Cortez, with a fiending flow coupled with a wicked mix of jokes, potent personals and stellar (“I’ll do you greasy, you asked for this so I’m blasting clips, ask Weezy, the K will put holes in your clothes, these fashion tips!”), wordplay took the 1st round with relative ease. Not quite as electric as his first, but still another solid round by Tez in the 2nd is edged by Chilla’s persistent (“You stayed with Clips for a month, but backed Hollow when they battled?, well that’s a bit strange, the shit’s lame, you disrespected Charlie’s couch worse than Rick James!”) schemes that landed and (“You had a debatable with Jimz?…you still looked like a clown, ‘cuz you was barring him [Barnum] and barely [Bailey] winning!”) angles that hit. Cortez goes the pontificating route in the last round, but for the most part it (“Shit I even got a punch for every time ‘Punch’ was on Smack DVD!”) works as he once again flexes his resume in a game that still too often doesn’t give him his just due.Chilla pontificates too and while the Nuborn line and a couple of others landed, Cort’s round lent more to being factual and had slightly less filler than Chilla’s–and that’s why Brooklyn gets the edge here.

Verdict: Cortez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “See, when you getting paid to take on a rookie, they go harder…but I would’ve had Jimz [gyms] on lock like Coach Carter!”

Chilla Jones defeats Th3 Saga

by

Recap: Don’t let the final score fool you as besides the 2nd round, this matchup between Chilla Jones and Th3 Saga was pretty close. Yet, with a confident Chilla going for a more straightforward approach to unleash a wide array of scintillating (“Deuce, deuce near me, say I won’t shoot, dare me and get a buck from under the pillow like the tooth fairy!”) punchlines, delicious (“You wanna scrap Now or Later?, you and your homies can come box, I be punching like Mike and Ike, these Jawbreakers hit your Chiclets and then your Gum drops!”) schemes, nice angles and finally, some well-equipped (“I want y’all to count how many times he look at that pussy!”) personals that more than delivered in the 3rd round, Saga’s nicest (“Well I’m Adam,  EVEn if Sir Pen [serpent] nice, I’m still talking to a snake!”) punches and more fluorescent bars were either (“I’ll kill JC for the bread…do not Wonder!”; “Tell Danny what’s a Bar God to someone that literally writes God’s bars!”) indirect or too often surrounded by lackadaisical filler to keep up with Jones’ consistency and versatility overall.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “This was greatly ill-advised, you sent you on this stupid mission, y’all seen me son Day’s vest, now I tailored these bars to suit a Christian, you’ll die walking under this ladder, it ain’t a superstition, so many bodies on a mag, shit looking like a swimsuit edition!”

Chilla Jones defeats QP

by

Recap: In a fire, crowd-friendly and wildly competitive battle from Black Ice Cartel that saw Quantum Physics seemingly put his battle career on the line (he’s battled plenty of times since, so there’s that), the edge here goes to Chilla Jones, who for all the witty personals, rebuttals and fiery wordplay his opponent was able to throw at him for 3 rounds, still won the battle with a more consistent, angle-savvy, punch-spazzing, personal-hitting and scheme-heavy effort that edged the Kingpen rounds 2 and 3 after a debatable first.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “I’m just tryna beat my last performance; it seems cocky, got to make sure the punches heavy, the schemes godly, but you really think I’m focused on Q.P.?, hardly, I ain’t even see this bitch on the card; I’m Steve Harvey!”

Chilla Jones defeats Tony D

by

Recap: Don’t Flop battle between Chilla Jones and Tony D while smooth in delivery and punches came off a little lethargic at times as both Jones and Tony seemed to have left their A-game behind. Still, outside of an angle-prone and personal-bent 3rd round that easily got beat by his punch-heavier European opponent, the more versatile and consistently spicy with the punchlines Jones takes the first two rounds easy for the win.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “Watch where you aim the cam, if there’s blood drying on the limbs, they’ll see Burgundy on the screen like Anchor Man!”

Chilla Jones defeats Danny Myers

by

Recap: When you get a hands-down, spitfire bar-fest, does anyone really lose? But then what would people expect but a near-classic when the self-proclaimed “Kingpen” (aka Chilla Jones) goes up against the self-proclaimed “Bar God” (aka Danny Myers). A near debatable, what with a slightly punch-heavier, angle-lit and (“This what I do, the burner hold rounds like a disc maker, get Black buried over games like it’s Brick Breaker, you got me in my old zone, that’s big danger!”) wordsmith-spazzing Chilla edging the 1st round over Danny’s rampant lines of sheer mayhem, before Danny launches a seismic turn of unadulterated heat drenched with some fiery personals and sterling (“Banana clip hanging out of the K, you gonna meet with shots, you’ll see this half moon in the middle of the day, that’s an Equinox!”) haymakers to edge yet another fire, punch and scheme-heavy turn by Mr. Jones. The 3rd round would see Chilla get uber-personal and put forth perhaps the illest spiel on Danny’s infamous (and perplexing) decision to give T-Rex $12K for a battle, before switching it up and dishing a stinging roundhouse of exemplary punchlines that would edge a standout, rebuttal-swinging, but less versatile turn by Danny and give the Kingpen a hard-earned win…barely.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “I’m too hot, this is haymakers and quick jabs, they said you’d never take a loss to me [colostomy], now you getting your shit bagged!”

Pass defeats Chilla Jones

by

Recap: Chilla Jones has what basically amounts to an off night, using way too many name flips, elongated schemes, lackluster bars and convoluted set-ups along the way and thus allowing seasoned veteran Pass to come from behind with enough nifty punchlines, fleeting (“See, I know why hoes won’t sleep with dude, soon as you take off your hat you look like black Beetlejuice!”) personals and aggressive bars/wordplay and score a win on KOTD.

Verdict: Pass (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Pass -“You get X’d from American History when they make this nigga bite the block”

Chilla Jones defeats Prep

by

 

Recap: In front of a raucous Smack/URL crowd, “The Kingpen” uses lofty name flips, spirited personals, some witty schemes, wicked wordplay and rapid punchlines to score a 30 on Prep. Indeed, while the well-dressed spitter from Maryland got better with his punches as the battle proceeded, Prep’s angles were too often ubiquitous and that’s when he wasn’t dishing standard heaters that just weren’t as nice as he might’ve thought when he first wrote them up. Add to that, a Chilla Jones with excellent stage presence and a more condensed package suited squarely for the big stage, even if he wasn’t dressed as nice for the fight, Jones’ return to Smack is still a memorable one.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “This a fucking mismatch, them even putting me against you, I’m nice with the grammar see [Gramercy], that’s why they booked me for the venue!”

Chilla Jones defeats Dizaster

by

Recap: Chilla Jones does a better impression of Dizaster than Diz does on Chilla. That said, in yet another 2-round battle for Dizaster, while neither battler was really on their A-game, a more condensed, personal and direct with the punches Chilla manages to take each round for a victory that was also helped in part by Diz’s emotional harangues, indirect shots and overuse of filler.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-0

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “Keep it a hundred, you got a problem with drugs, you need to pass the pipe, could tell by how this male function, he ain’t acting right, [so] please react to everything he rap tonight, ‘cuz if y’all are silent when this Buster Rhyme, that’s When Disaster Strike!”

Chilla Jones defeats Conceited

by

Recap: Conceited and Chilla Jones put on a solid battle in this main event matchup for KOTD. Got Chilla edging what turned out to be the best round for both battlers, the first, what with Mr. Jonas showing more consistency and versatility in his raps along with some aggressive (“Everything I holla graphic [holographic], I make the card shine!”) punchlines and (“You so small, I bet your rounds is short”) jokes thrown in. No doubt Conceited, after gamely attempting to predict the final word on each of Chilla’s rhymes, didn’t lack for confidence while putting forth a pretty dope round himself with some exquisite (“Being around all them K’s will bring the bitch out this nigga like Bruce Jenner!”) wordplay, feelgood Empire bars and a couple of ill slow-it-downs. But for some lulls within his turn, Con might’ve taken the round. Despite a slip-up, round two was pretty much all (“Nigga I’m the reason you rap the way you spit now, that flow is like Stephen King because I gave you IT, clown”) Conceited, who spouted out an ill Family Matters scheme that proved to be the top attraction of the round. Tied after two, Chilla dominated the final round, going long and heavy on the fiery (“He ain’t gonna grip a gat, and he ain’t gun-slinging, let Con vent, he got nuns singing, it’s like Sister Act”) punchlines and hard personals, while Con struggled with bars that apparently looked better on paper than they did when mouthed in the air.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “I heard you did a drive-by and niggas legs was breaking”

Math Hoffa defeats Chilla Jones

by

Recap: Rest assured Math Hoffa versus Chilla Jones will go down as a finalist for 2015 Battle of the Year. With contrasting styles and both putting forth their A-game, each battler had the crowd buzzing throughout the match, more than giving the fans their money’s worth. Math’s first round was straight fire, a sizzling combo of contentious bully (“You ain’t about that life, you ain’t been where I been Chilla, forget who the F U R and that’s your chin-Chilla”) bars, heated wordplay and wicked performance bars/schemes. Yet, an undaunted Chilla, quickly returned the fire with a series of lofty (“What good is street cred if you can’t spit that tight?, you get broken off with 4 bars, you the Kit Kat type”) punchlines and fiery name flips that somewhat went away from his forte, but still worked well. Second round kept the crowd hyped with Math putting on emphasis on creatively mocking his opponent’s (“When you tell niggas you scheming that means you rhyming shit for ’em, if I tell niggas I’m scheming, that means go inside it’s a warning”) style, while Chilla gamely turned the table on Math’s notorious real rap lines with steady sermons (“You worry about looking real, that’s something I feel is pitiful, cuz whats’ real about your kids going to jail to visit you and birthdays and holidays past, but you still invisible”) on what really matters most in life. Last round served up another stellar platter with Math splitting his time supplying more (“5 niggas against one, that ain’t a jump, that’s a leap!”) rhetoric on the infamous Dizaster battle along with some aggressive BK (“We slide through, bust it in Ds, it ain’t a titty fuck!”) punches that landed hard. Chilla’s 3rd, arguably his most consistent round, saw him step to Math with some fresh (“If you used that wood proper like you should patna, Bonnie would’ve came back like good posture!”) personals, amiable wordplay and good-natured jokes that’d make Drake proud. Overall a great battle, but while Chilla showed off his humor and took away Math’s penchant for disrespecting his pen game, some of his set-ups took too long, he did have some filler and one wishes he’d played to his strength and schemed a little more. Thus, credit Math for sticking to his repertoire and having a tighter ratio of dope bars per lines, a slightly better performance, a nice counter for all of Chilla’s (“Inside you mad you ain’t fucking with me, youze a Bonnie nigga”) Bonnie drops/Dizaster lines and a wider degree of angles throughout the match, especially in rounds 1 and 3 to take the win.

Verdict: Math Hoffa (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones -“When y’all want bars, he just be rapping facts at you…I mean this gonna be a serious [Serius] disaster [Dizaster]”

Chilla Jones defeats 100 Bulletz

by

Recap: Nice battle with a shitload of swift punches between Chilla Jones and 100 Bulletz. Chilla edges it in the end, but 100 Bulletz with quality (“I’m here to catch bodies and stack coffins, it’s like a watching a URL battle…let’s skip all the Smack talking”) punchline after (“Call me Carlton Banks? That’s cool, you gonna see snap with the Tom Jones”) punchline along with repeated quips on Chilla’s style, definitely made his opponent work for it. Still, altogether it’s better flow/deliveries/set-ups, more variety with the (“Words is weapons and these bars off the chain like nunchucks”) bars and less filler per the kid from Bosstown that gets him rounds 2 and 3 to take this KOTD matchup.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “This gun so big that if I load a clip and squeeze, it’ll pick Bulletz up off the ground like a Hitman remix!”

Chilla Jones defeats Cee Major

by

Recap: Close enough battle and a dope (“See, you got an IQ of 160, but you couldn’t cop the haiku’s I spit in one 16“) 3rd round from Cee Major, but elongated rounds can’t make up for two rounds frequented by too many lame bars and weird (“You advocate a lifestyle. I’m just glad it didn’t take my brudda’s life”?!?) angles against the likes of Chilla Jones who looks more like your local postman than a gangsta. That said, tho he clearly didn’t put forth much of an effort in the 3rd, Jones way more condensed wordplay, potent (“Cee Major?, you look like a teenager, your name should be ‘A minor'”) name flips, aggression, schemes and weighty punchlines were more than enough to take the first couple of rounds and with that the win.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “I got a toast, that’ll raise his glasses.”

Chilla Jones defeats Yung Ill

by

Recap: Not the best Chilla (could be taking too many battles, but props for the Jean Grae mention) what with a little more filler than usual, but against a Yung Ill who basically only showed up for a round (mostly the 2nd with hard lines like: “Pounds and Tek’s, that multiple so three or four? but these two I brought with me? I named them Either Or”) and a half, a plethora of (“Before the dollars came you beat Hitman with bars of flames, but he’s the legend and you? without a call or lane, another Pete Rose because you’ll never see Hall of Fame”) working personals, elite wordplay and feel-good schemes provided more than enough heat for the win.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “So play Hero, from here on I’m a villain I took Ill in vain, but that’s dope because if you take the word villain that’s ‘ill’ in ‘vain'”

Chilla Jones defeats Real Deal

by

Recap: Let’s face it Chilla Jones just seems to get nicer with each battle. And here against a veteran in Real Deal who almost always impresses, Jones had to know going in that he better be on his A-game in order to pull out a victory here. Thinking that he’d come out with haymakers (ala his bout against B-Magic) Real Deal fails to impress much in round one, mostly delivering bars on Jones supposed regimen for street talk–an angle that makes no sense against an opponent renowned for schemes and wordplay. On the other hand Jones quickly shows that he did his research, spitting congenial wordplay on how Real Deal will attempt to win, while serving his opponent with a nice “boy band” scheme as a keepsake. Round two sees Real Deal clowning on Jones supposedly overrated style (“Your bars make people feel good when they get ’em like a refund check”) and alleged reaches with jokes, punchlines and other anecdotes breaking down Jones’ miscues on past bars. With Real Deal stepping it up, Jones switches angles, snapping on Deal’s Dot Mob status (“Why ain’t K-Shine behind you screaming ‘Get that nigga Deal!'”) before returning to his mantra of hot (“Once I air Real, he gonna see how some assault feel”) punchlines and hard-hitting bars. Last round finds Real Deal getting personal, hilariously cracking on Jones’ epic battle against JC, his hairline and the infamous Boston accent. But Jones, who’s more than stepped it up when it comes to his 3rd rounds, is at the ready, executing an unreturned high-five with precision on the creative front and pulling out haymakers (“This is the shit that happen when you step to the best Real, bars out of this world I brought extraterrestrials [extras to rest Real] “) to put this one to bed.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Real Deal – “I’m not a hater tho, your battle with JC is a classic I won’t lie, but you two pussies talk about it like it’s 4 touchdowns at Polk High”

Chilla Jones defeats Daylyt

by

Synopsis: Sometimes it’s not a matter of who lost, but who won. Such is the case here with this classic barfest between Chilla Jones and Daylyt–simply put as terrific as both emcees were, it all comes down to who dropped more haymakers. The edge goes to Chilla, from the crazy “Watch with the level I’m on, clear plane escalator, you can’t move me with long stares [stairs]) line to this gem (with Method Man literally in the building): “That’s cause she gave Ghost, face and blew Meth like Heisenberg”, it’s just rare to see Chilla waste lines. And Daylyt, who has long proven that he can match anyone lyrically (when he’s not beholden to antics), was as impressive as he’s ever been, dropping bombs like “And I rely my babe cuz she a cap and wild gunner, she’ll close her eyes, point the deuce at the ring like Pacquiao’s mama” and “If I chase a nigga’, back break a nigga’, funeral homes, box rake a nigga, you get the open hand, the fist or the deuce, rock, paper, scissors” that would’ve had any other battle rapper take his mike off and call it quits. But this was Chilla Jones, a wordplay artist and scheme king, who unless he produces that rare slip-up (vs. B. Magic) or you’re somehow able out-bar him (JC), your chances of winning are slim to none. I got Jones taking the 1st and 3rd with Daylyt taking the 2nd. Such a classic battle, does it even matter who won?

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Best line: Chilla Jones – “It’s cuz’ you snitchin’, so to pigs I’m sinning, you sendin’ info so now y’all all fucked, it’s like I’m sendin’ nympho’s”

Chilla Jones defeats Blackheart Adonis

by

Synopsis: Blackheart Adonis not only has bars (Who could fuck with Adonis? These prozac like they had depression, so I’ll fuck up a pair of mid schemes like a bad investment”), punchlines and plenty of jokes (“You’ll be like a street performer, give him bucks and claps in public”), but judging from his round 2 here his favorite TV show is clearly “Martin”. That said, even with a nice artillery, as seen here it’s not enough against a wordplay genius and scheme killer like Chilla Jones. From reversing the college scheme in round 3 to the over-the-top name flips to the official haymakers (“Y’all thinking this bitch fly? He’ll disappear ‘cos a milli will air Heart (Amelia Earheart)”), while Blackheart Adonis did a good job of keeping it close throughout, in the end it wasn’t enough to keep up with Mr. Jones.

P.S. To Blackheart Adonis, while it’s ok to be cocky and confident in your bars, disrespecting your opponent and speaking throughout his rounds while making light of his bars has no place in battle rap.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Best line: Blackheart Adonis – “We seen no proof in your work, so how is your Tommy getting fired?”

Chilla Jones defeats The Deadman

by

Synopsis: The Deadman got’s some jokes (“When you was playin’ checkers, I was playin’ chess, and when you was playin’ chess, I was done playin’ games”) and performance ability, but his flow needs serious work and he isn’t nearly consistent enough to put up a fight against Chilla Jones, who uses solid wordplay, dope scheme and rigid name flips to easily take the win.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 3-0

Best line: Chilla Jones – “My toasters may spread you, your toasters make bagels”

Chilla Jones defeats Young Kannon

by

Synopsis: I think Chilla said it best here: “I don’t waste lines”. While the underrated YK brought it with typical energy and performance behind his gritty bars (“[This] the lame boyfriend versus the side nigga who’s smashing two”). Where YK fails is his lack of ingenuity. For example, that “I just spelled your name out and you ain’t even know it” scheme, while nice, has been done before…by Chilla. Plus there was a little too much filler in between his best bars (esp. not good for a one-rounder, just ask Goodz who kills one-rounders). Also, some of his lines were nonsensical (that “Ginobili…free throw” diss was ass-backwards when you consider the facts) and his best line of the night might’ve been towards a guy he wasn’t battling: “I never got robbed in my own hood, I ain’t Cortez” (although that “You tell niggas to hold on to your words, then you drop the ball” and “Your hairline should have a nickname, LeHitman James” jokes were too funny). Then too the irony here is that not only does Chilla Jones do schemes better than YK, but the only reason he gets called “boring” by his peers and some battle rap fans is because too many of his bars go over their heads (talk about needing the rewind button) upon first listening.

So forget the biased home crowd as Chilla gets the win here, immediately addressing YK on his style disses (“I rap depressing and lack aggression, right? It’s simple, well my niggas will put a hole in your face, I tell them pull (dimple)”), adding a dope car scheme in the middle and finishing YK off with a “sex offender” scheme that even had his opponent nodding his head in agreement. Condensed bars, less filler, better personals together with killer wordplay throughout….it’s Jones all day.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 1-0

Best line: Chilla Jones – “Lemme ask you, who demand a kill and think Kannon will? Well please don’t, cuz he wont but I can n’ will, I’m a fire at his tire, let a clip hit Kannon wheel, somebody write Kannon will, then when he die in debt, his daughter will owe (Willow) like Kannon will (Will))”

DNA defeats Chilla Jones

by

Recap: A more versatile (and condensed) DNA, stunting throughout with ill freestyles (including a really fierce dart at none other than Kevin Durant while the NBA star stood on stage), rapidly fire punchlines, fly name flips, some stinging personals and festive gun bars manages to beat back a scheme-heavy, but elongated Chilla Jones in this 3-rounder from NOME 3. Jones, clearly committed to spouting scheme after scheme throughout this match, definitely had his moments, especially during a spitfire 2nd round that saw his wordplay and consistency elevate to its highest level. But thanks in part to a mostly one-themed showing as well as some long drawn-out dry spots in both the 1st and 3rd rounds, just couldn’t keep up with his opponent’s quotient for haymakers, much less DNA’s roundhouse scoring ability.

Verdict: DNA (W) 2-1

Favorite line: DNA –  “Serius, Arsonal, Darrel Jones, I guess I gotta show up to Chilla with some real chrome, so when you hear it click, no, that’s not a dial tone, so when I raise the stock, who you gonna dial [Dow] Jones?!”

B. Magic defeats Chilla Jones

by

Recap: In this 3-rounder from Smack/URL, a rare choke by Chilla Jones in the final round ends up being moot as frankly speaking B. Magic was just about unbeatable here. Indeed, especially during the 1st half of his 2nd round and versus a scheme-heavy and personal-mocking Jones who up until he had to quit due to memory loss in the 3rd, was pretty solid throughout, Magic just left earth with a boatload of spitfire punchlines (the Mysonne line will live on forever), witty personals/anecdotes and sizzling name flips that all worked together to enforce a shutout.

Verdict: B-Magic (W) 3-0

Favorite line: B-Magic – “It’s B. Magic muthafucka, acknowledge me, big straps that’ll take that back like apologies!”

JC defeats Chilla Jones

by

Recap: An undeniable classic, JC versus Chilla Jones served as the pinnacle of new, hungry and younger talent with a knack for substance, versatility and flexing wordplay with their bars. Starting with a superb 1st round, both battlers would display tremendous moxie with their lines with an uber-confident JC dropping a series of stinging (“I’ma tell this fag actor once: get out of line, pass or bump, I’ma react with the fastest punch, they ain’t gon’ have no choice but to turn this bitch from Smack to Snuff!”) punchlines when he wasn’t dishing some hard-hitting name flipping and prodigious mayhem. However, having already shown himself to be one of the better schemers in the game, Chilla wouldn’t disappoint, the Boston spitter spouting a gang of spitfire schemes, ripping personals and roundhouse (“You rep Pontiac on that G shit, but you don’t own a gun, liar, so I’ma give this G six for y’all thinkin’ that son fire!”) punches to edge round 1 before JC would take advantage of a couple of dry spots from his opponent and come through with a (“It’s an honor for you to meet me, I’m the next problem, run in your crib, pop your mom: I’m your step father!”) punch-heavy and while making fun of Chilla’s rap style, a mockingly sanguine turn to edge the 2nd round. Tied going into the 3rd round of a battle that already had the crowd buzzing throughout, both battlers would step it up during their final turns with a boatload of piercing darts, sizzling wordplay, more heavy-handed schemes from Chilla and stunted gun bars from JC. Yet,with an astute and (“What, you gon’ flip and spazz out? Bitch, don’t try us, there’s four niggas in each car with about six mo’ riders, we heavy armed, like Precious, extend mo’ fire!”) haymaker-drenched 3rd that was flawless in its execution (i.e., a classic), despite another pretty solid turn by (“See, this a loss you shoulda planned for, but we all know you’re good with defeat [da feet], we all seen you on the dance floor!”) Jones, it’s JC who earns the win here.

Verdict: JC (W) 2-1

Favorite line: JC – “I’m tryna get his whole strip wet, he was cruising till his ship wrecked, hit me, you gon’ get hit next, stomp him but leave him choices, Timberland or Nike? Face the tree or get chin checked?!”

Chilla Jones defeats M. Ciddy

by

Synopsis: Dope battle, and close too what with Chilla clearly taking the 1st round (“An appetite for destruction I’m Al Qaeda (I’ll cater)”, while M. Ciddy spazzed so much in round 2 that not only did he even things up, but had to take some time to feel himself as well. But then Chilla shows off his sick pen game in round 3 delivering a nice rebuttal, then a killer haymaker (“Why is you even talking? I’m a fan favorite, I could let a chair speak for me like Stephen Hawking”), a biting zodiac scheme, superb wordplay throughout and an over-the-top Simpson’s scheme that pretty much wrapped it up. Granted, Ciddy came hard with his 3rd, but by that time it was long over (or like the fan said “Leave him alone, man!”).

Verdict:  Chilla Jones (W) 2-1

Best line: M.Ciddy – “A bullet can’t wait to get the Chill like the weekend”

Chilla Jones defeats Cash Eatin

by

Recap: Rare URL 1-rounder sees Chilla Jones sees go at it with Cash Eatin. And while the Detroit emcee puts on a solid show with plenty of residual mayhem, boastful shiners/punches and steady gun lines, one too many dry spots from Cash along with a consistently potent Jones dropping a wide range of stinging 4-bar set-ups, fiery schemes, scathing personals, piercing name flips and head-ringing punchlines with ease, gives Chilla the win.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “But what you know about them tools?, keep it a hundred you don;t let your heat blast, matter fact let’s keep it a thousand, you ain’t a G…Cash!”

Chilla Jones defeats Interstate Flamez

by

Recap: Pre-URL Chilla Jones, while not quite as clever with the schemes as he’d later come to be, still dishes a wide array of stinging punches throughout all 3 rounds to beat the overall hard, but non-too-savvy, bars of Interstate Flamez.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Chilla Jones – “I got a shorty that’s so pretty,,she BAD Boy!, no Diddy, I got her Hypotized, so when I cut her off, she ask for One More Chance…I tell her ‘No Biggie’

Chilla Jones defeats Gatman Jones

by

Recap: In a battle of the Joneses’ with (allegedly) no written’s allowed, it’s Chilla’s more cohesive flow and benign bars/schemes that easily take out a mostly disinterested Gatman.

Verdict: Chilla Jones (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Chilla Jones –  “The day you put a pause to my motion, that’ll be the day we drive cars in the ocean!”
