No Bias. No Narratives.
Recap: In this 1-rounder from One Shot Battle League, Ave’s sizzling punch game is on display, but so is a gang of fiery gun bars, fire name flips and stinging personals that all combined are more than enough to score more haymakers and beat back a gun bar-centric and pretty solid effort from J2.
Verdict: Ave (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Ave – “I don’t give a damn about the block that he claiming, or the fact that his community running with him like when Rocky was training!”
Recap: A pretty solid effort that featured a bunch of sturdy gun bars and hard-hitting set-up punchlines & personals keeps J2 competitive in this ‘Redemption 3’ 3-rounder from URL. But one too many attempts at more acute punches that failed to hit by J2 as well as a turned up JC, who when he wasn’t getting righteous with a gang of syrupy pontifications in round 1, got the job done with a combative stream of fire wordplay, boastful barbs, fiery God-complex heat, witty darts and potent punches to take rounds 2 and 3 (after a debatable round 1) for the win.
Verdict: JC (W) 2-1
Favorite line: JC – “Your community cancel me, go wild, I have no concern about him/he/them/they or she…I’m the pronoun!”
Recap: From The Smoke Room Battle League, a lot of pedestrain bars on both sides, but Big Kannon with a plethora of gay jokes, righteous boasts, some solid wordplay and gritty punchlines/off-the-dome heat and J2 with a gang of aggressive gun bars and feelgood personals/punches, split (J2 took round 1 before BK returned the favor in round 2) the first two rounds of this 3-rounder before a more efficiently punch-lit handily takes the deciding 3rd for the win.
Verdict: Big Kannon (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Big Kannon – “It’s a violation, ‘cuz I was offended with how they predited this, it’s like leaving on good terms with a ex, ain’t this a bitch!”
Recap: From Hitman Holla’s Bags and Bodies league, turnaround once again proves to be fair play as after getting humbled by opponent J2’s sterling gun bars and witty/hard-hitting personals, Mackk Myron gets back in his groove with a roundhouse, punchline-lit, deliciously mocking and more steady scoring round 2 to tie things up in light of another dope run by J2. The deciding 3rd, what with Mackk adding some fierce schemes to his already syrupy bag of fire punches, is a no-brainer as a slow start by J2 coupled with some poignant, but so-so bars throughout the round assists in giving Mackk the win easy.
Verdict: Mackk Myron (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Mackk Myron – “Why you acting upset?, oh you was looking for a classic bro, this house?, Kings of Comedy, Mac [Mackk] last to go!”
Recap: Rambunctiously lacing his punches with brutal set-ups, witty puns, flagrant personals and graphic/mayhem-laced gun lines, Danny Myers takes the first two rounds of this URL ‘Outside’ battle to gain the win over a much less punch-heavy J2 before a more scholarly 3rd by the Bad God helps a consistently gritty throughout, but at his most efficient J2 handily take the final round to avoid the shutout.
Verdict: Danny Myers (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Danny Myers – “I done shot 7-footers like I can’t dunk!”
Recap: Pristavia vs J2 from Remy Ma’s Chrone 23 league sees both battlers keep it competitive with aggressive darts, well-laced up personals and fiery punchlines. However, while J2 came through with some hot punches/schemes here and there (esp. the ‘hum to Allah’ line in round 2), one too many pedestrian bars and preachy lines by the ATL rapper in addition to a slightly more versatile, wordplay-heavy, personal-lit and consistently hitting Pristavia gives the Gun Titles empress a 30.
Verdict: Pristavia (W) 3-0
Favorite line: Pristavia – “Nigga, didn’t you go through homelessness?, then you should feel right at home in another box!”
Recap: Not sure what Chilla Jones was thinking (the only judge to go the other way on the decision), but this URL SM4 1st round battle between J2 and Tru Foe was pretty clear-cut as Foe surprised many with a flexing, punch-heavy, personal-savvy and even witty at times performance in rounds 1 and 3 (a flawless turn btw) to beat back an overall strong lyrically (esp. in round 2 which he edged) and name flip/gun-happy J2 who just didn’t have enough heat to match his opponent’s comeuppance in the other rounds.
Verdict: Tru Foe (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Tru Foe – “Since we gotta clash, I ain’t showin’ remorse, though, bring a whole new meaning to “LGBT” if you don’t know, that’s when a bullet go through your Leg, Gut, Back and your Torso!”
Recap: Against a gritty, punchline-lit and street-conscious opponent in J2, who got better with each round, a rarely-seen side of Danny Myers, his wit, ends up saving him here in this Bloody Scene 3-rounder what with a plethora of piercing and versatile gay jokes/schemes in the 1st and 2nd rounds giving ‘The Bar God’ the win.
Verdict: Danny Myers (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Danny Myers – “Your momma carried you for 9 months, it was beautiful player, she went through all that fucking pain…and this is the FRUIT of her labor!”
Recap: Slightly more consistently potent with the bars while snapping with a gang of spicy personals, piercing wordplay, rigid gun bars and righteous punchlines/4-bar setups, J2 edges a dope and punch-heavy but a little less versatile and not quite as hitting turn by Yoshi G in what was still a highly entertaining and competitive 1-rounder from RBE.
Verdict: J2 (W) 1-0
Favorite line: J2 – “Silencer, I’m about to make a hit I’ll never hear…I’m Beethoven!”
