Iron Solomon

Iron Solomon defeats T Top

by

Recap: A game plan based around hardbody, but redundant name flips, Jewish jokes/barbs, head-twisting gun bars and residual trap talk makes for a fine blueprint against Iron Solomon…if you have the wit, punch efficiency and talent of a top tier like T Top to pull it off. And here, face-to-face with Solomon on the URL Summer Madness stage, Top certainly did his thing, scoring (“I wish you asleep right now, I’ll wake him up, bulldog under the pit, let’s make a mutt!”) haymakers left and right with his arsenal of gritty lines throughout the battle to keep it competitive. But when your opponent is a veteran noted for having one of the top pen’s in the game, the strategy…well, let’s just say it wasn’t enough, even in a 2nd round that Top only edged because Iron’s most flexing bars were directed (“Volume 3 comin’! Aye Verb, stop runnin’!, Surf, how you take five shots and still duckin’!?”) at other rappers. The 1st and 3rd rounds here however, just provided a tutorial on how to rap, a condensed, confident and aggressive Solomon granting you nuisance with almost every punch, stunting with the wordplay, anecdotes (“Melvin!”), punchlines, schemes, personals while mocking Top’s rap credentials along the way. Again, a close one because Top is nice like that. But damn if Solomon didn’t take it to another level here.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “I’m on the best comeback since Jesus returned, that’s why I’m heated I ain’t get to eat the feast I deserve, but when they bring out the cracker, you know T [tea] getting served!”!

O-Red defeats Iron Solomon

by

Recap: Aggressive and fiery with the set-ups, deft with the angles, hardbody on the schemes/name flips and slick with the wordplay/gun bars, O-Red sticks it to Iron Solomon twice in the first couple of rounds, both edging an opponent who while spouting a boatload of cold punchlines and steely personals throughout, overall couldn’t match Red’s consistency or bent for originality. That’s before a 3rd round that saw a heated ‘Jean Jacket’ Solomon up his wordplay game, consistency with the heat and punchline acumen to salvage the final turn.

Verdict: O-Red (W) 2-1

Favorite line: O-Red – “I done killed a lot of nigga’s, you bout to be dead with them, my flow is poison, create Carnage, Red Venom!”

JC defeats Iron Solomon

by

Recap: Besides a rim-rocking, personal and punch-heavy 1st round from JC, for two battlers well-known for their ferocious pens, JC vs. Iron Solomon, while solid throughout, certainly didn’t live up to the conventional hype. Still, with only 3 weeks prep, it’s probably not fair to have expected more to what turned out to be a tight and exciting match. And while Iron, after an up-n-down 1st, came back in the 2nd with a wittier, more potent turn that featured more braggadocio lines with an upturn of polemic wizadry, it’s a back-to-flexing (and more versatile) JC who takes the deciding 3rd with one too many haymakers to beat back another solid, taciturn round from Iron that like his 1st, just came with a few too many dry spots.

Verdict: JC (W) 2-1

Favorite line: JC – “Ask K-Shine, Smack is the only thing separating you from Charron!”

Iron Solomon defeats Bigg K

by

Recap: Hard to see to puncher with the oomph of Bigg K struggle with his flow, but that’s the case often here in this Rare Breed matchup with Iron Solomon. And tho K, freshly lit when he was spitting robust punchlines back to back, had to cut a couple of rounds short thanks to the aforementioned unforced error’s, it didn’t help his cause that a more versatile Iron used a variety of fire personals, some well-crafted set-ups and other frenetic wordplay to help him dig a ditch and bury his less stable opponent with a mighty 30.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “Truth is, he ain’t violent, a lot of talk, but don’t do shit…DJ Khaled!”

Iron Solomon defeats Chilla Jones

by

Recap: Chilla Jones has been in the game too long to not know that elongated rounds can work against him. But somehow the ‘Kingpen’ still falls victim to either wanting to show off his pen way too much (which against a stellar lyricist like Iron Solomon is understandable) or he just doesn’t have the wherewithal to make his rounds more succinct and get rid of unnecessary filler. To be fair, in what was a punch-heavy-on-both-sides lyrical manifesto that stayed close throughout, Chilla’s versatility game stayed on high alert here, as the Boston rapper flexed repeatedly with fire punchlines, grandiose schemes, dope (“Summer the only time you was facing a Murda, when Mook was done with you, all they found was your glasses and a Skittles bag!”) personals/name flips and solid gun lines. But one too many nimble reaches with the bars, sermonizing (leave the impression’s alone, even if it’s in good taste, it’s just not you); gritty but nonsensical bars towards an opponent who doesn’t pretend too much to be street and a lack of cohesion with the bars was just enough to leave a more compact, braggadocio, theme-centric, set-up/personal heavy and wordplay (“Sometimes you gotta talk to these bitches, I’m mansplaining!”) spazzing Iron Solomon with enough room to take the latter two rounds and earn the win.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “I’m Q, I’ll write through anyone in this guy’s crew, anybody could fucking get it, I’m AIDS in 9-2!”

Rum Nitty defeats Iron Solomon

by

Recap: Can you deliver a classic round and still lose a battle? Apparently so, as despite the condensed and gun bar prolific Rum Nitty dishing just enough seismic punchlines, stinging racial barbs and fiery (“This how a nigga play, If I need something in my house, I’m running errands [run in Aaron’s], I got bills to pay!”) wordplay in the 1st and 2nd rounds to take the win, a returning-to-Smack Iron Solomon, competitive throughout with his own mix of rigid punchlines, quality personals and stinging schemes, delivers a 3rd round for the ages with its stellar offering of well-crafted angles, potent (“You they property, ain’t about to see a proper piece of the profit share, they pay you less than bottom tier…Nitty, you a volunTEER!”) personals and total flexing with the lyrics. Altogether a fire battle (it should be said that a consistent throughout Nitty spit a punch-heavy and dope 3rd round himself) with too many standout bars to count, Rum Nitty versus Iron Solomon goes down as ultimately living up to its marquee bill.

Verdict: Rum Nitty (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Rum Nitty – “I’ll leave a nigga leaking for intervening, while your people be penny-pinching, mine nickle squeezing I kill em easy!”

Illmaculate defeats Iron Solomon

by

Recap: A little underwhelming considering that we’ve seen better battles from both. But after splitting (I got Illmac taking the 1st and Iron taking the 2nd) the first couple of rounds, this KOTD battle between Iron Solomon and Illmaculate comes down to the 3rd, where a more succinct and less hurried Illmac takes it, beating back a hit-or-miss Iron in what seemed to be personally driven, grudge match that the scheme-heavy and consistently witty Mac was more prepared to win.

Verdict: Illmaculate (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Illmaculate – “You left, thinking you was Jordan with his tongue out, came back…looking like Jordan in the dugout!”

Iron Solomon defeats Arsonal

by

Recap: Wack move by Arsonal, knocking Iron Solomon’s cap off at the end of the battle, is a bit ironic when you consider that this KOTD battle between two ‘legends’ was ‘ok’ at best what with Arsonal’s penchant for filler and uneven angles and Iron, who when he wasn’t dishing a load of subpar bars, made some pretty lame attempt’s to mimic his opponent’s ‘disrespectful’ palette. That said, in what was easily his best round, Arsonal uses a nice variety of flexing punchlines to take the 1st before Solomon dishes a load of witty/pointed personals and astute angles/punches/wordplay to even things and take the 2nd. Last round saw Arsonal deliver a load of disrespectful race lines and other real life struggle bars with his usual flair. But starting out with a fire rebuttal, Iron’s 3rd round, consistently nice with a mix of fire personals, nice self-deprecation bars and aggressive shiners were more than enough to take the round and the win.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “You see, Ars’s pen is average, that’s why everything you say is mean, you’re not nice!”

Charlie Clips defeats Iron Solomon

by

Recap: Don’t lose sight of the irony here, especially after Iron Solomon does a personal-heavy 1st round surrounding Charlie Clips supposedly not taking battles seriously and failing to bring proper 3rd rounds–themes you’ve heard before about Clips. But considering historic recent 3rd’s by Clips against the likes of T-Rex and even a fire 3rd versus Hollow da Don, one might consider that Clips’ rep doesn’t always proceed him. Still, this Clips, even if he did go too far with the ‘1 testicle’ jokes in a 2nd round that was edged by a late, punch-heavy charge by Solomon during his turn, didn’t come to play. That was the case during a fire 1st that featured a variety of fiery punchlines, potent name flips and salacious wordplay as well as a just-as-fire 3rd, that with enough flexing personals, bodacious schemes and haymakers, turned back a solid (and again, personal-themed) but elongated round from Solomon to give Clips the match. And no, the irony is not lost in that.

Verdict: Charlie Clips (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Charlie Clips –  “They said it’s a wrinkle in my career, well good thing I got an Iron to get that shit straight!”

B. Magic defeats Iron Solomon

by

Recap: Fire battle between B. Magic and Iron Solomon with a load of hefty (B. Magic: “You get bombed on in Boston, no matter the race!”) punchlines, witty (Iron Solomon: “I mean we done got so used to you choking, we thought ‘Fuck!’…was your new slogan!”) personals, fire name flips and some creative wordplay by both battlers. Competitive throughout with a couple of debatable rounds (1st and 3rd) that produced a lot of daps and and cheers from the crowd, this KOTD battle came down to the 2nd, which while littered with visceral haymakers from both sides and some versatile synergy by Iron, is edged by Magic here due to more consistency with his pen when compared to an opponent who while dropping a load of gems, too often struggled with filler during his turn.

Verdict: B. Magic (W) 2-1

Favorite line: B. Magic – “Slit his throat, I’m trying to cut out what he was just fitting to tell me!”

Dizaster defeats Iron Solomon

by

Recap: Epic, long-awaited battle between Iron Solomon and Dizaster goes down with what you’d expect: plenty of racist banter, hi-def (Iron Solomon: “From slug fest to gun threats, this chump went from throwing temper tantrums to throwing up sets, choked out Billy, now he feel he’s a roughneck, been on 52 cards, got more attention from one deck!”) personals, rambunctious punchlines and some ill (Dizaster: “Who gives a fuck if NY is a no-flying zone?, I got Palestine inside my bones, I’ll hit you with a rock in your face from a couple kilometers away, that’s what I call reaching a milestone!”) braggadocio lines. In the end tho, it’s Dizaster’s 1st round that gives him the edge here and the win, as you could go either way in the latter two rounds. Indeed, a more consistent flow combined with slightly more potent bars and versatility gives Diz a dub over a fellow vet that he’s wanted to battle for a very long time.  

Verdict: Dizaster (W) 2-1  

Favorite line: Dizaster – “This here is for every single Arab, shit, even the Christians are gonna feel like they’re getting their payback, once I rape your mother in the ass with no protection, bare back, wearing a Mel Gibson face mask, you know what rhymes with bar mitzvah? Swastika!”

Iron Solomon defeats Daylyt

by

Recap: The long-awaited return of Iron Solomon takes place against the enigmatic Daylyt on KOTD and for the most part it’s an oddfest. Iron manages to spit some hot name flips, gripping (“We see what this Grape has done for the limelight, imagine what this fruit would do for a Klondike”) punchlines, favorable feelers (“I ain’t mad at that loss, I can handle that bruise, you know what happened to past Jews, we used to having bad news, you heard of King Solomon’s wives, I’m used to having mad boo’s”) on the Mook battle and the usual personals on his opponents antics that’s long been noted, but too often with a standard flow that could use some repackaging. While the ever aggressive and fast-rapping Daylyt, who happens to be a Dot Mobb member, for the most part stays away from personals, instead going for some dope (“One arm [lifts arm up] then Iron in the sky, I’m Magneto!”) name flips and esoteric bars that were both hit and miss. A lot of overrated lines from both battlers kept it close, but with Iron easily taking round one and edging the second thanks in part to another too short round from Daylyt, all in all it’s a successful comeback from Mr. Solomon.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Daylyt – “Get put to fucking sleep when I peel bitches, I’m Bill Cosby!”

Murda Mook defeats Iron Solomon

by

 

Synopsis: Sorry, but this battle doesn’t get near enough credit for being pretty damn good. Yet that’s clearly due to all the Mook haters out there who refuse to give Mook props even when he brings his a-game. In addition ($30k combined non-withstanding), there’s plenty of plotlines and subliminals at play here to keep you entertained throughout. Like why it made much more sense for Mook to battle Math (or even Cassidy) here. Or Mook’s ingenious schemes. Or the 5 rounds being “too much” for a “legend” who hadn’t appeared on a battle stage in years and clearly had a lot of shit to get off his chest? Or how during the battle Cassidy crosses over from Solomon’s side to Mook’s. Or how disappointing Iron’s performance was here (tho he did have his moments). Or how Mook came at Smack in round 1. Or how Mook seemed to really be mad how Iron treated E. Ness in their battle not too long back. Or Mook adequately addressing all the haters and fellow battle rappers in round 4. Or all the borderline racist punchlines throughout. Or the biased crowd. Or the skittles. Or Diddy throwing in the towel after round 3. Or how Mook broke down Iron’s whole overrated career…which ended up getting him the W here, the personals were just too much.

Verdict: Murda Mook (W) 5-0

Best line: No so much a line, but Mook bringing this epic fail up during the battle was a lesson on how important it is to do your research on an opponent.

Instant classic: Mook telling the whole world that Solomon has one testicle.

Iron Solomon defeats Avalanche

by

Recap: From Detroit, a mostly pedestrian Avalanche scores (esp. in round 3) with some witty personals here and there, but in this 3-rounder hosted by Bizarre from D12, it’s all Iron Solomon. The NYC battler going ham (especially during a classic, back-to-back haymaker-drenched round 2) with a boatload of hitting personals and flexing punchlines/name flips to earn the 30.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “And all this rah-rah shit, you need to stop trying it, your image is like your album…nobody’s buying it!”

Iron Solomon defeats E. Ness

by

Recap: “I ain’t gonna rap about your background or origin”. Iron Solomon gets behind the wheel and immediately shifts to full throttle with former Da Band member E. Ness standing in the way, dropping (“See Ness makes music that’s blunt guts trash, so when he played his two hits for Puff, Puff passed”) haymakers on his career, landing with punchlines after (“Far as gangsters, you the biggest bitch of the century, this ain’t even my verse, I’m just reading the words to his Wikipedia entry”) punchlines and flexing hard with congenial wordplay and roundhouse bars to put this one away early. And yet the irony here is that while Iron got a 3-0, Ness prevented a body by actually performing pretty solid here, what with a poised flow that helped his delivery, spitting much less filler than you usually see from him and executing bars (“I call dap and doe like it’s John McEnroe, bout to serve his ass back to the White Rapper Show”) along with (“This faggot wear glasses, so fuck the scare tactics, y’all lookin’ at the next contestant on Fear Factor, so from this point on, and here after he should be B.F.Fs with the StairMaster”) personals with the confidence of a vet. That said, judging from Solomon’s over-the-top (“Cause I guess Michael Jordan always needs someone to dunk on, and if I ain’t the Jordan of the shit, there’s no one that’s closer”) cockiness on display throughout this battle, that this matchup would serve as the gist to his own demise a couple of years at the hands of Murda (hey it was Solomon who called him out at the end there) Mook, to some, would only serve him right.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “I know some spitting pythons who be getting they rhyme on, way better than E. Ness, my list is six guys long, the six men who recite songs better than you is Mysonne and the top five are Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and Dylan!”

Iron Solomon defeats Pass

by

Recap: In this 2-rounder from a Scribble Jam event that took place in Cincinnati, OH, Iron Solomon dishes some scathing personals and piercing freestyles/punchlimnes at a pedestrian punching Pass to easily get the win.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-0

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “You could spit those multiple’s till your ???, I’ll be at the hotel giving your girl multiple orgasms!”

Iron Solomon defeats Zeale

by

Recap: Close in both rounds with Iron Solomon and Zeale each spouting some spicy freestyles, it’s the slightly more consistent nice, disrespectful and slick-talking Solomon who gets the edge in rounds 1 and 2 for the win in this Scribble Jam contest from Cincinnati.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-0

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “Look, it’s not ‘cuz I’m short that I’m so angry, it’s ‘cuz I fucked the shit out of your mom and the bitch didn’t thank me!”

Iron Solomon defeats 9DM

by

Recap: Ahh, the 2000’s with throwback jersey’s, XXXL white T’s and battle rap rounds under a minute…those were good ‘ole days. Besides that, with some fire rebuttals/personals mixed in, Iron Solomon easily outpunches 9DM in this 2-rounder from Brainstorm 2004.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-0

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “I’m gonna tear him apart, his chin strap’s so big it looks like he’s wearing a scarf!”

Iron Solomon defeats Shirt ‘N Tie

by

 

Synopsis: First of all, I love barbershop battles! Secondly, WTF happened to Shirt ‘N Tie? For being a Jay-Z clone what with that moniker alone he should’ve had a longer career in rap. Third, this is Iron Solomon at his best: a mix of bars, freestyles, aggression, rebuttals all the while funny as hell.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 3-0

Best line: Iron Solomon – “You coming weak as fuck on this rap shit, so maybe you’d be better off sweeping up some giraffe shit, and you can tell his career ain’t about shit, because I seen his last DVD and he’s wearing the same outfit”

Iron Solomon defeats Flamez

by

Recap: Arguably the first battle rapper to go through an entire match with his shirt off, Flamez real writtens (most of his bars anyway) are still no match for Iron Solomon’s freestyles, personals and all out zealotry.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “And we met outside the Virgin mega store, which is ironic because his wife is a non virgin mega whore”

Math Hoffa defeats Iron Solomon

by

Recap: Math Hoffa got this one over with early, using fierce bully (“I could get Iron snatched just for trying Math, have him like a skinny white girl, can’t find his ass”) bars, rich punchlines and too-funny (“I said ‘Iron I got that butta. what’s crackin’?’, he said ‘I’m more of a Parkay guy, it’s less fattening”) jokes/schemes in the first couple of rounds to take out what he not only predicted in Iron’s repeated use of name flips, but recycled/substandard bars that more often than not didn’t match Solomon’s aggression. Thus, by the time Iron found his groove (“He looking at me like white boys can’t jump, till I step off the bench and light ya ass up!”/I’m an upcoming pump, you the worst kind of whore, that gets fucked once and quits ‘cuz your vagina sore!”) in a round 3, it was too late.

Verdict: Math Hoffa (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Math Hoffa – “I got a thing for your sister, you outta notice, she the first white girl that I smashed, we met at Lotus, she took the kid raw so I could spray on her faster, I felt like caviar the way I came on a cracker [cracka]”

Iron Solomon defeats Madness

by

Recap: Madness shows he can go toe-to-toe with Iron Solomon….for one around anyway, before Solomon bodies him in a heap of nice rebuttals, fresh (“Florida’s idea of lyricism is Trick Daddy!”) quoteables, funny personals and all-out haymakers.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “You ain’t white, you just caught too many nuts in your face”

Iron Solomon defeats Jin

by

 

Synopsis: Don’t let all the haters in the crowd fool you, because Jin’s round one was pretty nice (and he had some decent rebuttals throughout too). However, this wasn’t about how good Iron was (I think even he’d admit that overall this wasn’t his best performance, tho the Canibus line in rd. 2 was hot), so much as it was about Jin losing steam so fast that you almost got the feeling he wasn’t inspired. For that alone, it was pretty easy for Iron to edge the former champion.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-1

Best line: Jin – “The real Solomon was a king, this clown seems more of a diva, so after I make you my bitch you could call yourself the Queen of Sheba”

Iron Solomon defeats G. Sizzle

by

Recap: Street battles are where Iron Solomon made his name from and his on-the-spot/rebuttal game was always superb as G. Sizzle more than finds out here. Close in the 2nd (G. Sizzle: “I carry more weight than a white boy with a hiking bag”) round, but clearly outclassing his opponent in the 1st and 3rd, this “Cracker Jew” showed early on that he was nothing to be played with.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “You just mad ‘cuz your girl’s address ends in dot.com”

Iron Solomon defeats The Saurus

by

Recap: $100 on the line for this 3-round street battle between The Saurus and Iron Solomon and outside of a subpar 2nd round from The Saurus, it’s a goodie as both battlers get busy with the fiery punchlines and gusty freestyles. However, before the punch-heavier The Saurus took the final round, a slightly cleaner, condensed and more consistently spicy/versatile Iron wins this one by taking both rounds 1 and 2.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “Named himself TheSaurus, but needed a dictionary to spell it right!”

Iron Solomon defeats Mic Assassin

by

Recap: Mid-00’s street battle featuring an early Iron Solomon shows you Iron’s acumen in tearing opponents apart as well as how far British rappers (Mic Assassin definitely should’ve came with some writtens) have progressed lyrically over the years. Funny how they had to move to 3 different spots to get this one-sided battle over with.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 4-0

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “This is what Guerilla Black would look like if he was still on crack”

Iron Solomon defeats Elfamail

by

Recap: From Scribble Jam 2005, while he may be a little guilty of using some of the same set-ups to his punches during battles, that still doesn’t take away from Iron Solomon’s hardbody wit, his rebuttal game or his freestyle ability as seen here once again in this one-sided 1-rounder against a very subpar Elfamail.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “If you the Alpha, then I’m the Beta Kappa, punch your sister in the mouth then date her after!”

Iron Solomon defeats Presence

by

Recap: While they both could freestyle, Presence’s subpar and sometimes nonsensical raps are no match for Iron Solomon’s hitting name flips, witty personals and piercing schemes/punchlines in this one-sided Scribble Tour 2005 Prelim battle.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “You look like a crackhead version of Bruce Willis!”

Iron Solomon defeats New MC

by

Recap: After kicking a bunch of light bars and struggling a bit with his flow to get easily beat by Iron Solomon’s aggressive and stinging freestyles/rebuttals in round 1, New MC gets his freestyles together to have a better round 2. However, with the more consistently spicy Solomon still dishing a bunch of hard-hitting personals in the final round of this 2-round Scribble Jam contest, it’s a 20 for the Jewish kid.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-0

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “Standing there trying to look all regal, I’m 5-foot-8 and I hate tall people!”

Iron Solomon defeats Charles Brown

by

Recap: From an Ohio Scribble Jam, for two rounds Iron Solomon freestyles a gang of witty personals to handily beat back the rapid-flowing, but mostly subpar stylings of Charlie Brown.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-0

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “And your eyes are swollen son, give ’em back to whatever goldfish you stole them from!”

Iron Solomon defeats Diabolic

by

Recap: From Brainstorm Battle 2004, while not at his best, Iron Solomon still delivers enough aggressive and hard-hitting disses/freestyles/personals to handily get the win over a confident, but clearly overmatched Diabolic.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-0

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “I’m about to burn your brain like Kurt Cobain!”

Iron Solomon defeats Nocando

by

Recap: Two rounds from Scribble Jam 2005 and Iron Solomon kills it, using both witty/stinging punchlines and quickfire freestyles to beat back a rapid, but subpar punching Nocando.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-0

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “This is what Kenny Kravitz would look like as a skinny faggot!”

Iron Solomon defeats Okwerdz

by

Recap: In this 2004 ‘Battle for Midwest Supremacy’ Iron Solomon easily comes out on top, the NYC battler using a bunch of belitting freestyles and piercing rebuttals/punchlines to handily beat the off-the-dome, but subpar lines from Okwerdz.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 2-0

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “I’ll take you to your own state and throw you off the Golden Gate!”

Iron Solomon defeats Immortal Technique

by

Recap: Classic overtime battle between Iron Solomon and Immortal Technique that happened on the spot after Technique demanded to face the winner (Solomon) of the EOW tournament they both just participated in that day, but with Immortal feeling that he got robbed. Right off the bat, however, you knew this one was a wrap, what with the normally lyrically adept Technique struggling to maintain his flow in the OT round, that is when he wasn’t kicking a bunch of pedestrian raps in both English and Spanish. And even tho he was taking on a battle rap legend, Solomon wasn’t phased one bit. The bespectacled rapper going right at his opponent’s head with fiery diss after diss to get the crowd lit and more importantly earn the win.

Verdict: Iron Solomon (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Iron Solomon – “C’mon Technique, everything you say corny, only time you get 5 mics is in a gay orgy!”
