No Bias. No Narratives.
Recap: One-rounder from GOTG turns out to be a layup for Dougy as opponent Darange’s mayhem-rich, but generic and mostly pedestrian raps doesn’t hold a candle to the We Go Hard vet’s consistently blazing gun bars, fiery name flips and gritty trap talk.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dougy – “If I even hear he around I’m gonna spray, I’ll turn his crib into a picnic, the cloth will put his family down in broad day!”
Recap: From We Go Hard, gritty street shit, piercing punchlines and persuasive gun bars dominate this competitive 1-rounder between Dougy and Henny #3. And while Henny, after a bit of a slow start, showed and proved with a gang of flexing bangers, the more consistently spicy Dougy, armed not only with his usual assortment of radiating burners, but a hail storm of bruising name flips, earns the win.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dougy – “The way we grew up it’s a difference, I wasn’t even spitting, you was making sure your bars crack, I was in the kitchen, wokring on my whip…this is way before Carfax!”
Recap: A litany of gritty, potent punchlines on both sides highlight this We Go Hard Midnight Bars matchup between Dougy and Presidential Dubz. And while the two kept it close and competitive throughout this 3-rounder, some witty wordplay and a cleaner flow from Dubz would help him edge both of the opening rounds for the win before a 3rd round debatable.
Verdict: Presidential Dubz (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Presidential Dubz – “Claim he got the vision, but his service suck…he Time Warner!”
Recap: In this fierce 1-rouder from WeGoHard, both Lu Castro and Dougy flex with gritty street bars, righteous gun lines, potent punches and moreso in the case of Dougy, stinging personals. However Dougy, more consistent and versatile throughout his turn and able to top his opponent by dishing more haymakers, who gets the nod in this one.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dougy – “Nah, I got a better plan, chopper on me, I’m a let the Harley shoot ya, and this shit a never jam, it’s a party pooper!”
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!”
Recap: Despite struggling with his flow at times and nearly choking, the always gun-centric Dougy manages to dish a fire rebuttal as well as enough epic mayhem to edge this 1-rounder against a mostly pedestrian Problems.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dougy – “Team full of rock-climbers, they all strapped, I’m a cameraman with the beam, code word for shoot: ‘Record that!'”
Recap: With Dre Dennis announcing at the beginning of this video that some of the audio got lost during Dougy’s turn, despite a fire turn from Eazy the Block Captain here, don’t feel it’d be fair to recap this battle.
Verdict: No Contest
Recap: Scoring consistently with fierce name flips, fire gun bars and potent punchlines, Dougy earns a win on the independent battle league stage with this well-rounded turn versus a solid, but inconsistent Monstar.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dougy – “Get in my shooter stance, y’all can tell that my aim right, this AR gonna put him the E.R., like I’m spelling his name right!”
Recap: One wouldn’t be remissed for feeling that a clearly-on-his-way-to-winning Dougy choked in this one-rounder against GP. But the feeling here is that Dougy didn’t stop his round to find his lines, but rather free-styled a bit and then had the wherewithal to stop his round short knowing that he was ahead (GP scored with some witty lines here and there, but had too many dry spots and average bars), rather than almost assuredly losing the battle with a choke.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dougy – “Up the strap. matter-of-fact, I gotta stand back, for the powder open up on this male [mail]…that’s Anthrax!”
Recap: Not too long after a poor showing against Jai 400 Block on the URL stage, Dougy goes back to his home league, WeGoHard, and gets his grind back, dishing potent name flips, wicked (“I got paid for this faggot, I feel like Black Chyna side nigga, Versace robe on and I ain’t taking it off, this fat nigga must be Rob, ‘cuz you paid for the cloth!”) punchlines, sports bars that hit well and ridiculous guns lines at a solid overall, but (“You wear on your left, nigga, my flag stay on my face…the cloth different!”) bully themed and gun bar drenched Luck Dollaz–in effect, giving Dougy the well-earned win.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dougy – “I was born in WeGoHard, that mean I’m armed and crazy, these Pocket Rockers like fresh abortions..I could palm these babies!”
Recap: Jai 400 Block impresses once again on the URL/Smack stage. This time using eerie name flips, flexing (“You a Jakkboy Maine [jack boy, man], well I’m a Ryda [rider] at the right time!”) wordplay and some elite guns bars to take out a (“I’m looking for him in his grandmom crib, screaming ‘You bastard, you soft!’, I let it ring in the house, now his granny dead in the living room, the plastic went off, [blows finger like gun] I left a stain in the house!”) hard-hitting at times, but overall flow-challenged Dougy on this Ascension card.
Verdict: Jai 400 Block (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Jai 400 Block – “Ace Ventura, have them animals raiding your house, got him tripping like Ray Finkle, guess the laces was out!”
Recap: Mixing up fiery street (“I was taught better, I’m old-school, the cloth leather!”) themes with sporadic drug talk, erstwhile sports bars and some dry wit that won the crowd over while flexing his versatility, Dougy earns a win over a pretty (“I don’t wanna hear that you on SMACK, that’s irrelevant, fuck I look like being on Smack, I like selling it!”) solid throughout, but mostly one-themed Pakistan in this 3-rounder from CGBL.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Dougy – “Since a yung’un I been playing with guns, I just like when it spark, put nigga’s on the floor when I draw…I was nice with the chalk!”
Recap: One-rounders don’t get much more sizzling than this as both (“Nicki Minaj, just because you got your fake ass shot, doesn’t mean you can handle Twerk!”) Phenom and Dougy hit hard with a barrage of spine-tickling gun bars and fiery wordplay. Still it’s a more consistent Dougy, with a sterling performance that gamely backed his plethora of (“You came up pussy, not on some killer shit, he grew up to kidnap girls, you still [steal] a bitch!”; “Just know that if I ever said an average bar, I mean what I say!”) haymakes, who brings this one back home for Brooklyn.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dougy – “The only Phenom that could make it out of these bars is Lil Kodak, nigga!”
Recap: Strong showing by Joe is met by an even stronger overall performance by Dougy, who when he wasn’t dishing pointed (“End this show wit a Mac like kings of comedy”!”; “I’m talking big dummy shits when I’m packing the tool, with a big dummy clip, like ‘Shaqtin’ A Fool'”!) gun lines that laid a fiery foundation, stayed gritty in the mix with steely trap talk, fire wordplay/set-ups and potent punchlines that continuously scored. For Joe, with aggressive (“Y’all know white boys cant dance right? So when I’m swinging arms doing dougie wrong, don’t be surprised!”) punches and dope wordplay (“NY Giants, oh they’ll [Odell] have you and your man in trouble [Manning] when they cruise up (Cruz) that’s what the mac will do [McAdoo]!”) that landed well throughout his 3 rounds, a solid battle nonetheless, that if not for his opponent’s comeuppance and a little too many repetitive themes, might’ve had a different outcome.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Dougy – “We both grew up around the same type shit, you needed your mom’s, I needed a nice brick, see?, we both needed that white bitch!”
Recap: Recycling bars (see Dougy vs. Joe) is something you gotta deal it…still when faced against a very basic, one-dimensional round from X Da Don, Dougy’s fierce wordplay and steely punches are more than enough to have his hand raised at the end.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dougy -“I’m talking big dummy shit’s when I’m packing the tool, with a big dummy clip…like Shaqtin A Fool!”
Recap: We don’t go off of hype here. That said, Nu Jerzey Twork and Dougy’s debut on the URL stage goes the latter’s way as the Brooklyn rhymer explodes for almost 3 entire rounds (including a flawless 1st) with not only a gang of spitfire gun bars, but piercing (“Show you what the toolie do, banana clip, swing a monkey in ya window like Zoboomafoo!”) punchlines that showed off some excellent wordplay, some finessed personals and enough glaring trap shit to make you wary to go outside. Not that Twork didn’t hold his own tho, the much-heralded newbie shining for the most part with intricate (“I’m ballin, I get highlights often, Lorcin or a .9 might spark him, face shot, I pop eyes [Popeye] ‘Why I oughta!‘”) punches that often lit up the room, some head-ringing bully bars and his own performance-heavy and unique brand of lofty mayhem and righteous heat. Indeed, if not for Twork getting off to slow starts in both the 1st and 2nd round, coupled with some pedestrian bars here and there as well as a shortened 2nd that one could argue was actually a choke, this battle might’ve had a different outcome. But even with Twork consistently putting it all together in the 3rd round to edge a pretty solid turn by his opponent, by then, lyrically speaking this battle was already lost.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Dougy – “I flipped my first pack at 12, my O.G. showed me the weed, 14 grams, my first pack was older than me!”
Recap: Versus a boisterous crowd and a solid, but spitfire-bar deficient opponent in Philly Haze, Dougy uses fiery name flips and a barrage of jaunty gun bars to take the win in this one-rounder from Bar Warz NY.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dougy – “Act foul, I’m a pull up the K then spark it, I’m in front of his crib like ‘Coming out?’…it’s like I’m waiting for parking!”
Recap: Gotta love these intense, upclose, small-room battles. Yet, despite a consistently aggressive Al 40 Cal showing some potential (“I’ll hop out the whip and clap him, fuck a drive-by, upload the body on Facebook, he gonna die live!”) here and there, mostly standard bars and a lack of creativity gave him little chance of beating Dougy’s more intricate (“…or I could get a knife and leave something open son, with a Jamaican blade, I’ll poke he mon [Pokemon]!”) lines, feelgood gun bars and scintillating name flips.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dougy – “My cousin, he showed me how to boil crack, then he told me how to get those rocks in, I watched him cook with the jar, pointing at the glass like he window shopping!”
Recap: A couple of We Go Hard’s brightest stars, Chess and Dougy, leave it all on the floor and put forth an epic show, both battlers using fiery (Chess: “Head tap, get one shot like you can’t do it over!”) gun lines, boastful (Dougy: “Cross both arms and box Chess, that’s a casket!”) punches, aggressive performance bars, sturdy name flips, gritty (Dougy: “You from the Bronx, right?, well if my hand cock the jawn, I’m a flatline Chess right next to the X with my signature arm, grab on him, it’s a grip in my palm, then dab on him, he get hit with the arm!”) street darts, potent (Chess: “I can lightly black on bodies, I’m two-toned!”) wordplay and even some spicy personals to make for a close and competitive showing during all 3 rounds. Still, for all the surplus in bar efficiency, mutual respect for each other’s pen and Gwitty and Steams in the crowd competing with each other for best reaction’s, it’s really not too hard to call a winner as for all of Chess’ grit and charming parlance, a confident and less flow-challenged Dougy just landed more haymakers in the 1st and 2nd rounds to seal the win, before Chess salvaged the 3rd with a much stronger turn there.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Dougy – “Two different demeanor’s, you thinking about homework, I’m thinking about some new work…A Boogie daydreaming in the cleaners!”
Recap: In this aggressive one-rounder from We Go Hard, B-more’s Writtenz came with a bunch of fiery (“I’m sick as can be, I’ll beat shit down your knee, I’ll rock ya, like Red Lobster..the biscuits are free!”) bars to make his mark. But a shortened turn by the visiting out-of-towner and a (“When it comes to flipping packs, I’m nice with it, I been fucking with them big O’s before Stedman!”) systematically dishing, performance and (“That last line?, hyped from an ugly bitch, you might get it, I’m a fuck him up, but I wanted this bitch to fight back…I’m Ike with it!”) punch-heavy Dougy would prove to be too much in the end.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dougy – “My bitch got the grip, she always hold my arm…like she scared of the movie!”
Recap: A couple of Brooklyn up-n-comers, Dougy and J.O, both bring the heat/street shit in this matchup from WeGoHard. But it’s Dougy, with fiery sports bars, elite (“Glock 9, clean off the shelf, old-school shooter, I squeeze arms, like fiends with the belt!”) gun lines and relentless smoke/wordplay, that sets the tone early and often throughout all his three rounds, leaving the mostly subtle, speakeasy bars of J.O hammering, but with little overall effect, much less a chance to win.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Dougy – “Half my uncles, locked on a Fed case, ‘cuz they was on the block, pumping rock, like a head fake!”
Recap: Judged battle from We Go Hard. Tho I get where the judges were coming from giving the win to Chillean G seeing as Dougy had a less cleaner round. The second half of Chillean G’s round wasn’t quite as nice as the (“Now I’m on your neck like a noose, you can’t hang with me…Dennis Rodman crashing the boards [slams hand on basement wall] you can’t bang with me!”; “With one bullet, through your dome and out his neck…I trick shot him!”) first. And overall (thanks in part to him spitting longer, but also due to a higher bar quotient) Dougy had more harder (“I got the can on the couch, I’m Al Bundy!”; “I been nice since City was bony, nigga!”) punches and lit performance (“…she was looking all sloppy and shit, I told my hitter ‘finish the bitch!‘, he threw the grip, I threw my man the glock, he took the shot…that’s a hockey assist!”) bars. So all things said, make this one debatable.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Dougy – “I ride with a .380 ‘cuz I can load it quicker, but you could still get your head cracked for fucking with that K…he a Lamar Odom nigga!”
Recap: In this one-rounder from WeGoHardTV, some spitfire bars here (“You a Birdman, that shit so lame, but if I catch you with ya Rich Homie Quan?, you ain’t even gonna see the snub, just the nose ring!”) and there from Jonnie Danger still serves as no match when faced with the relentless heat, fiery (“I never talk to 5-0, ‘cuz where I’m from, they know the grip toast, and move like the Taliban, get low, wait till he get clipped then [phrooomm!!!] like the dollar van!”) set-ups and urban street talk from Dougy.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dougy – “The clip about as long as a ruler, I don’t need aim, I just empty the clip, soon as it click-clack nigga, if I shoot and I miss, my man gonna bang…that’s a put-back nigga!”
Recap: When he wasn’t spitting some pedestrian bars, Vizz da Outlaw’s arsenal of lofty (“Nigga, I’m ignorant, I just had to let you know, so there’s no confusion here, with that being said…I’m a run up on his mother with DE and a AR, liek ‘Excuse me Dear!”) gun lines and schematic jokes proved to be more than enough to beat an often lethargic and ill-prepared Dougy.
Verdict: Vizz Da Outlaw (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Vizz da Outlaw – “Nigga, my weaponry is legendary [raises each arm like a gun], I’m taking Dr. King, brother Malcolm, this one will catch you dreaming and this one will ask you out by any means necessary!”
Recap: Some nice (“That twin chrome will lift up souls while ya feet down!”) lines here and there from Haze, but too many pedestrian/predictable bars against Dougy’s much more righteous and steady (“These hands, they do the best punching, soon as he swing, I’m a weave, then come back with my strong hand…like I left something!”) heat, made this one a no-brainer.
Verdict: Dougy (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Dougy – “I’m a fucking animal, you can’t see the Bambi nigga, you’ll get your shit snatched, my gun don’t even kick back…that’s shit SCARED!!! of me, nigga!”
