Recap: Proving once again that he’s at his best when he drops the multiple choice schemes and isn’t stealing other people’s shit (tho he remains steadfastly in denial about the latter) John John da Don mimics his Grind Time days and uses stellar bars and solid anecdotes to take the first two rounds and beat Don’t Flop President Eurgh in a spirited battle. Visiting all the way from the UK Eurgh put on a pretty good show and certainly had his moments with some wicked metaphors, jokes, (“So I came to belittle John ‘cuz you forgot about your native roots, YOU came to belittle John, now you’re an outcast [Outkast] because they don’t like The Way You Move”) wordplay along with a couple of decent rebuttals thrown in the mix, but too many Multiple Choice shots and inconsistency with the quality of his bars did him in long before JJDD practically gave him the 3rd with a short round that was hit-or-miss personals (the DNA quip being the best of ’em), Meanwhile, whether JJDD was hitting with the gun (“You see this .40? get out the way, have respect for your elders”) quips or coming heavy on the (“Give this foreign bitch a ring, like I was trying to get a Visa”) punches, along with some dope set-ups and performance bars, all said it was more than enough to take the win.
Verdict: John John da Don (W) 2-1
Favorite line: John John da Don – “Y’alll wanna hear a sad but true story about this fucking corn? He took his girl out her birthday while their love was strong, but she left with another nigga’ and made a fucking porn, he seen it and apologized like he the one that did something wrong”
