Heartless

Yung Ill defeats Heartless

by

Recap: Back on a solo mission, Yung Ill proves himself to be up for the task, delivering a stellar dish of fiery performance bars in the 1st and (“Y’all gave his battery in his back a charge and he still can’t match my practice bars!”) 3rd rounds to edge punchline-fiend Heartless. Indeed, while the SONS captain spouted steady rich (“You oughtta be ashamed now, your career like the Mario brothers, soon as it got on the pipe it went straight down!”) personals and phenomenal (“Lick a shot, they get nuts with it like bar food!”) wordplay at times, he would fell victim to not only Ill’s penchant for hard rhymes, but his own slip-up in round 1 and way-too-short 3rd.

Verdict: Yung Ill (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Yung Ill – “This perfect, the SONS left you in the Lou deserted to face the Sandman, nigga I’ll ask a bitch where you stay, throw a clip in the K and take a trip to L.A., I’m a Rams fan!”

Heartless defeats Tez

by

Recap: In a one-rounder versus S.O.N,S.’ Heartless, Tez combines some mean (“Talking about he real, this nigga frail, how you gonna father figure you rep the SONS and hang with a Con that never been to jail!”) personals with animated schemes and gay (“When you and your man hug, you look like y’all doing a two-way back pocket check!”) riffs to make it close. But Heartless’ punchline-heavy arsenal doesn’t just pack plenty of (“My gun got a body on it like a piggyback ride!”; “If you think you winning tonight, nigga you dumb as fuck, oh wait this nigga came from the D, this nigga must be nuts!”) heat, but a couple of (“Nigga, I’ll aim at his brain, blew the Tek, got rid of all of the stuffy nose like Mucinex!”) in his nose like haymakers that had the home crowd gawking and a more consistent delivery that while making ti look easy, was simply what you’d expect from an able vet.

Verdict: Heartless (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Heartless – “If he say something wrong, I’m slapping him, that’s because I’m a man and I stand for something like an acronym”

Heartless defeats Charlie Clips

by

Recap: Even a tired Charlie Clips is hard to bear as this close battle against S.O.N.S.’ Heartless proves. Still, for all of Clips dope (“Headshot, even if he got on a hat, his life fucked, that’s Mr. Marcus”) punches, freestyles and witty schemes, Heartless takes advantage with 5 minutes of more steady bars, hitting personals, fiery slow-it-downs and confident (“I got one bullet for him, and I swear I’m popping that shit, and battle fans gonna love it, ‘cuz they finally gonna get to see that Hollow in [‘n] Clips”) wordplay. A rare loss for Clips, but it’s the risk you take when you bring your B-game to a one-rounder against a vet like Heartless.

Verdict: Heartless (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Heartless – “There’s no time to snack, I’m dumping guns, and everybody know the kid draws like da-dun-da-dun”

T Money Bagz defeats Heartless

by


Synopsis: The underrated T Money Bagz pulls off an upset against S.O.N.S. vet Heartless who besides slipping up in the first round, just couldn’t deliver enough punchlines, metaphors and wordplay to keep up with Bagz’ aggression, storytelling and potent bars.

Verdict: T Money Bagz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Heartless – “Man I heard about you and that little boy, you oughtta be ashamed that nigga was nine, Michael Jackson, you was all in Billy’s jeans, trying to Beat It, Bad, but you Remember the Time”

Heartless defeats B. Magic

by

Recap: Really, how many more Owen Hart bars on one take? Anyway, Cali rapper Heartless makes a visit to St. Louis to battle B. Magic on the Street Status stage and gets a win (score the 1st round debatable and the latter two for Chi McBride’s son) via a relentless/spicy punch-game, a 2nd round choke from B. Magic and some piercing wordplay to go along with witty lines that even had the away crowd in a hoot.

Verdict: Heartless (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Heartless – “So if I hear one bar about how you push cane or you cook flame, I’ll run up and slap his ass…good game!”

Heartless defeats Big Kannon

by

Synopsis: Of course, there’s plenty irony in Heartless using so many fat jokes on his opponent, but here against a simply loud Big Kannon, the wisecracks and punchlines clearly outweighed the routine bars. By the way this battle should also be noted for birthing the “Slow-It-Down”.

Verdict: Heartless (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Heartless – “…and his flow is killin’ me, yes nigga I’m talking to U…..P.S he has NO delivery!”

Heartless defeats Calicoe

by

Synopsis: For the most part a pre-“Landslide!” Calicoe puts on a dope show using fierce punchlines (“His bitch always want me to cut, she admire my saw”) and jokes (“He was one of those fat, short niggas at the court wishing he was a tall cat that say ‘If I can’t play well I’m taking my ball back”) to rally the crowd while making a game attempt to steal a win from hometown fave Heartless. Yet, an animated Heartless sets adrfit any chance for Calicoe to take this one by delivering two rounds of pure heat. Put aside the quasi-gay (“smack at his butt like baby clothes”) lines, Heartless goes immediately for the throat with punchlines (“….Nigga if you Mr. Hightower, how come you still ain’t came here [hair] with a fresh line”) galore an ill ‘how-to-use-arm’ scheme and steady haymakers (“I’m not fucking with him, that’s why I stay strapped, nigga I bring that semi abroad, that bitch done took off more wigs than Nicki Minaj”). Granted it’s not easy getting beat by a guy dressed in pink, but Calicoe will be alright.

Verdict: Heartless (W) 2-1

Best line: Heartless – “If I approach you with that iron kid, it’s no wonder you’ll be losing bread, fuck it, how about we all just rob him then go cut the cake together like newlyweds?”

Shotgun Suge and Heartless [DEBATABLE]

by

Recap: East-coast vs West-coast style clash between punchline/wordplay-feen (“When I start throwing bullets, nigger don’t think you can’t get open, so you better take a different route, or I’ll be in ya hood like LL, leave him with only one leg showing…while I shoot In The House!”) Heartless and an always about-that-action Shotgun Suge stays competitive throughout as both battlers stick with what they do best, while rarely missing a beat. A gritty and compelling battle that was enhanced by the small-room, crowd-right-up-on-you-to-taste-every-line atmosphere, a debatable 1st round followed by Heartless edging the 2nd round while Suge took the 3rd adds up a pretty succinct draw.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Shotgun Suge – “So don’t say shit, ‘cuz I don’t play bitch, I got the same shottie that Willie Manchester knocked J-Rock over the gate with!”

Cocky defeats Heartless

by

Recap: When it comes to syrupy punchlines, it doesn’t get much better than this as Cocky and Heartless go at it for 3 rounds with frequent set-ups that combined with often wicked, but also witty puns, similes and metaphors, made for one of the best punch-fest’s you’ll ever witness. And while the two Cali spitters also added a bunch of dope personals, daunting street missives and rigid name flips to the bout and kept it entertaining and close throughout with a frequent amount of haymakers on each side, it’s a slightly more consistently biting Cocky who edges the first couple of rounds for the win before Heartless reversed things and edged the 3rd.

Verdict: Cocky (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Cocky – “Fuck a bank, I get longtime money, it’s all fun and games till his guts and his brains hanging out like longtime buddies!”

Heartless defeats Lotta Zay

by


 Round 3

Synopsis: Even Lotta Zay’s singing couldn’t bring him close enough to beating Heartless’ exquisite wordplay, punchlines and personals.

Verdict: Heartless (W) 3-0

Best line: Heartless – So when I blow a can, it’s not a clothing brand, when I give Lot 29″

Heartless defeats Syd Vicious

by

Round 3

Synopsis: Woah. Looks here like a lot of Grind Time inner friction got exposed in this matchup. Still a good battle tho. I got Heartless clearly taking round 1 and edging round 2 to get the win

Verdict: Heartless (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Heartless – “Now that it comes to me, y’all wanna hear something amusing? This fat nigga actually said he’d jump me, nigga you couldn’t even jump to conclusions”.
