Recap: A one-round punchfest from Houston Bar Code that saw a returning-to-the-scene Hemi get better and better as his round proceeded, it’s still a more versatile, personal-lit, brazen and consistently spazzing Casey Jay who earns the win.
Verdict: Casey Jay (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Casey Jay – “You not thuggin’, all that BS is not nothing, you in Texas, you can’t weather this storm…the pipe busting!”
Recap: It’s a tale of two Hemi’s and a fiercely consistent Geechi Gotti in this West-coast Porving Grounds match. What with Geechi getting off to a hot start with heated (“Fuck what you heard, I bust for nothing….that’s a courtesy ride!”) bangers and potent set-ups, Hemi matched his opponent’s heat with his own barrage of steady punches and some ill (“I dip in your set, you don’t know the hit come from, Jim Jones juice, you could die off one punch!”) wordplay, a fire round from Hemi that was only hurt by his going on for way too long. From there, however, it was pretty much all, Gotti as the Compton spitter stayed hype, dishing frequent shiners, witty (“Push his wig back, can’t fix that with Rogaine!”) punchlines and killer gun bars that easily got him the 2nd round when faced with a pedestrian turn from Hemi as well as the 3rd round, which by then Hemi was reduced to free-styling for half the round.
Verdict: Geechi Gotti (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Geechi Gotti – “Bald head kissing his mouth….that’s Weezy’s pops!”
Recap: O’fficial goes (“You couldn’t Ice T, my nigga you been afraid, but once I squeeze ’em, they gonna have to get him an aide [lemonade]”) ham on Hemi for a few minutes until an unexpected visit from Earl causes her to lose steam quick in this one-round intergender matchup from NOBL. However, truth be told, despite a need to work on his delivery, with the consistent heat, wild (“How you known for having an outfit problem, rock dirty clothes, but you built like a washing machine?”) personals and spirited punchlines Hemi was spitting, even a stronger showing from O’fficial wouldn’t have been near enough to take this one.
Verdict: Hemi (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Hemi – “You not my sister because I’d kick with you and I love ya, you my sister because ain’t no possible way I’d fuck ya”
Recap: In a battle of play with wordsmiths, Hemi’s rapid schemes and robust wordplay lights up the scoreboard with enough points to beat back a stumbling out the gate, but overall solid punching Ha Double.
Verdict: Hemi (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Hemi – “Tables, ladders, chairs, have ya back broke like ya unemployed!”
