Recap From Gates of the Garden, a stickler for consistently graphic mayhem, salacious punchlines, sturdy wordplay and even a fake choke that lit up the crowd, O-Red scores a boatload of haymakers on his way to dominating this 1-rounder versus a slow-starting, but hitting at times and overall solid Chuck Book.

Danny Myers defeats Chuck Book

Recap: Pretty solid, gritty and versatile effort by Chuck Book, in this 1-rounder from GOTG, gets beat by a much more condensed, rebuttal-slinging, name flip/storytelling-lit, intricate and raucous punching Danny Myers.

Favorite line: Danny Myers – “We could take it to the streets, but I got a group of men who voted to take Book out like the council of Nicaea!”

Chuck Book defeats Tink Da Demon

Recap: In this 1-rounder from GOTG, a semi flow-challenged and bit reach-bent Tink Da Demon still made things close with a slew of graphic, mayhem-lit punchlines. But in the long run it’s a more versatile/hard-hitting with the punches and personals, witty and righteous when need be and most importantly for him, consistent with the heat Chuck Book who gets the edge here.

Verdict: Chuck Book (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Chuck Book – “So let this nigga give me problems, the semi popping, then dump him on the side of the highway and leave a Demon on the shoulder like a guilty conscience!”

Young Kannon defeats Chuck Book

Recap: In this 1-rounder from GOTG, Young Kannon’s steady barrage of daunting name flips, fiery gun bars and gritty punchlines easily beats a lackadaisical effort from Chuck Book, who while hitting at times, overall relied on way too many overused personals on his opponent that in turn made this a mostly a one-sided affair.

Verdict: Young Kannon (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Young Kannon –  “I’ll air the Uzi, do a nigga wig bad like a Tyler Perry movie!”

Emerson Kennedy defeats Chuck Book

Recap: Whether he was challenging his opponent’s heritage, mocking his battle rap career or taking on the usual personal directives we see towards Emerson Kennedy, newest Loud member Chuck Book certainly had his moments during this 1-rounder from GOTG. But it’s a way more condensed, name flip-lit, 4-bar set-up crazy and and wordplay spicy EK who gets the win here.

Verdict: Emerson Kennedy (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Emerson Kennedy – “I’m from the West so I already know that the Chuck’s run big!”

Chuck Book defeats Prez Mafia

Recap: The fact that Prez Mafia could seemingly freestyle half his round after his opponent rapped twice as long as he did and still make a battle close speaks to Prez’s immense talent. Good thing for Chuck Book tho, an at times raucous and certainly versatile punch-game hit with enough consistency to edge this 1-rounder from GOTG.

Verdict: Chuck Book (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Chuck Book – “A lot of you nigga’s love to rap about me ‘paying for battles’, man it’s fuck it the way I do business, always got something to say ‘cuz instead of going to the strip club and making it rain, I come and throw money at you bitches!”

Th3 Saga defeats Chuck Book

Recap: Gates of the Garden 1-rounder, while pretty lengthy on both ends, was still a dope one, and that includes showcasing one of your better Chuck Book performances, the elder vet from PA spouting a boatload of piercing punchlines, gritty name flips, thought-provoking raps, witty barbs and even showing off some spiffy dance and singing moves to keep you entertained. That said, Chuck didn’t stand a chance here as Th3 Saga was just working on a different planet, the Christian battle rapper literally spazzing with back-to-back-back ringing punches, some spitfire name flips, fiery religious-laced darts and sizzling wordplay/personals to get the win without missing a beat along the way.

Verdict: Th3 Saga (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Th3 Saga – “You don’t feel the stress?, like your bro’s ain’t warn you about this Revelation Book, going to war with a Pale horse bro can seal your death!”

Chef Trez defeats Chuck Book

Recap: In what turned out to be a stirring and competitive 3-rounder brought to you from Gates of the Garden, Chuck Book dishing off enough gritty and sometimes witty lines to make for a debatable 3rd round. However, even without the ability to produce the amount of rebuttals we’ve normally witnessed, Chef Trez’s prolific usage of stifling gun bars, boastful darts and head-twisting punchlines were too much for Book in the opening rounds, giving the Chef Life capo another win.

Verdict: Chef Trez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Chef Trez – “You think Corona gonna stop us from being in the streets spinning?, the NBA might’ve cancelled their shooters, but we didn’t!”

Loso defeats Chuck Book

Recap: Hey, if you got the bread, why not guarantee yourself some views and pay to battle a big name battler? Then too, in this GOTG 1-rounder versus Loso, Chuck Book puts forth a pretty solid effort, deftly inserting religious themes into his punches to go along some witty barbs that often scored. Of course, the opposite effect of paying to battle a top tier is not only the fact that you didn’t earn the opportunity, but the chance that your opponent’s ego could be just a little bit inflated. And equipped with a gang of scathing personals, Loso was not only able to bring the bluster, but in addition a boatload of fiery schemes, piercing name flips and flippant wordplay to take this battle and prove his mettle.

Verdict: Loso (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Loso – “I know it’s doubtful, but if your goal is to make it on URL switch dreams, it’s a known fact that a Book never translates on the big screen!”

Ryda defeats Chuck Book

Recap: In this solid 1-rounder from Gates of the Garden, Chuck Book delivers a host of gritty punchlines, wily personals and local DMV gratuities. But one too may indirect bars from Mr. Book along with a more consistently nice, name flip scoring, personal-spazzing, gun line waving and scheme/punch-heavy Ryda gives the Goonie a check in the win column.

Verdict: Ryda (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Ryda – “I’ll abuse you, this ain’t the shit that your used to, Ryda hop out of with a big bird like Liberty Mutual!”

Chuck Book defeats Lu Castro

Recap: Gritty, competitive and punchline-savvy showings by both Chuck Book and Lu Castro in this 1-rounder from GOTG. But a slightly more versatile, witty at times and much less flow-challenged Mr. Book edges it despite an equal amount of haymakers between the two battlers and a fire Castro freestyle near the end of his turn.

Verdict: Chuck Book (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Chuck Book – “I talk money, for instance, your talk is cheap, and what that mean is of all the nigger’s I paid to battle…nigger you cost the least!”

E. Ness defeats Chuck Book

Recap: Topped off by a gang of spicy name flips, a hot performance and punch-heavy first half by E. Ness gets him this 1-rounder over a solid, but overall a little too inconsistent Chuck Books.

Verdict: E. Ness (W) 1-0

Favorite line: E. Ness –  “No bitch in her right mind will handcuff Books, the only way he getting cuffed is if she left Chuck Booked!”

Chuck Book defeats Bill Collector

Recap: Chuck Book’s fire ‘cut in line’ bar caps off one of his better performances as the York, PA, battler also uses a consistently hitting punch game, a bunch of hard street rhymes and witty barns to edge this GOTG 1-rounder vs. Bill Collector, who while entertaining as ever with a gang of spicy 1,2 punches, feelgood personals and a ‘Supa-dupa-scope’ that can hit you from just about anywhere, certainly made the effort, but with one too many elementary punches, couldn’t keep up with his opponent’s more potent round.

Verdict: Chuck Book (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Chuck Book – “Any nigga talking about Book broke, that weirdo wilding, my credit card the only account that got a zero balance!”
