Big Kannon defeats Jay Rell

by

Recap: In light of a fight almost breaking out here in this matchup between Big Kannon and Jay Rell, it makes sense that their apparent real-life dislike for each other would warrant them both writing so many personals prior to their battle. Still, while Rell’s requisite fat jokes were (“Why, every time you bake food, you caress the oven?”) pretty funny at times, Kannon with a wider realm of more creative personals along with potent schemes, a slightly more cohesive flow and nasty (“I sized you up, and you know what?, I understand why the fans do not respond, nigga, because it’s Harry Potter, you can’t say nothing magical without Duwang, nigga!”) punchlines, managed to edge the latter two rounds after a debatable 1st, to get the win.

Verdict: Big Kannon (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Big Kannon – “And your style…nothing’s changed, I mean I know exactly what you’ll say, ‘Kannon, you have a wide and disgusting frame’, I’m only mocking Jay before he gets into the Hunger Games!”

Ill Will defeats Jay Rell

by

Recap: Along with a couple of fly rebuttals, Jay Rell’s witty barbs are perfunctory enough to edge round 3. But before that, assisted by an opponent that was ill on wit, but mostly pedestrian when it came to punchlines, Ill Will’s piercing bully bars, stinging set-ups and raucous personals/gun bars are easily formidable enough to take the opening rounds for the win in this 3-rounder from Michigan’s Alpha League Rap Battles league.

Verdict: Ill Will (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Ill Will – “This bitch [holds up hand like a gun] ain’t got no bodies, but Jay’s mom could be the first one on it like The Black Album!”

Jay Rell defeats Mackk Myron

by

Recap: In this matchup of two of Michigan’s finest, Jay Rell supplies more wit, consistency and haymakers to pull off a win over a solid overall, but too many dated bars and dry spot-having Mackk Myron.

Verdict: Jay Rell (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Jay Rell – “If this battle close, you lose by life standards!”

KG The Poet defeats Jay Rell

by

Recap: I agree with the judges decision: Rell edged the first round, KG edged the second and while the 3rd was close, light stumbles by Rell along with a stellar rebuttal from KG, gave it to the Poet in the end.

Verdict: KG the Poet (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jay Rell -“KG ain’t making it out the first round, this the ’95 draft again”

Jay Rell defeats T Man

by

Recap: Nice freestyles, Flintstone bars, personals, rebuttals in the middle of the verse and hometown Detroit schemes that made the homies nod their head in approval, it’s all there as Jay Rell scores an easy one against T Man.

Verdict: Jay Rell (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Jay Rell – “30 shot, extended clip, 2 will kill that bitch and now you facing 28, that’s Kwame Kilpatrick”

Ty Law defeats Jay Rell

by

Recap: Love Tay Roc’s reactions here in this nice PG battle. That said, Jay Rell has a dope freestyle (the Drake jokes killed) game, jokes and can spit the occasional hard-hitting (“My niggas dumping bury [Berry] like Eric Benet”) bar, but against a Ty Law at his best, dropping rapid (“The .40 ugly when he signing, Bobby Brown”) punchlines after (“My bullets all racist, they be knockin’ niggas melon in [melanin]”) punchlines along with terrific flow and wordplay, combined with his slip-ups there was just no way Rell could keep up. 

Verdict: Ty Law (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Ty Law – “When somethin’ from the 80’s get stuck in his head, bitch it ain’t ‘Computer Love'”

Jay Rell defeats Danny Myers

by

Recap: If Jay Rell wasn’t so cocky he’d easily become a more polished and complete battle rapper. After all the skills are there, but more often then not Rell gets in his own way by letting his emotions get the best of him…and in turn his performances during battles. However, here in this URL bout against Danny Myers, a focused Rell just dismantles his opponent, dishing sizzling personals with ease, styling on Danny’s street authenticity, cracking steady (“You look like the brother of Alvin, Simon and Theodore, you’ze the one they ain’t play with, you’ze was always on some gay shit, they trying to stack nuts for food, you trying to find to play with, gay shit!”) jokes and delivering haymakers like the Splash Brothers in the 4th quarter. Easily Rell at his finest and most consistent, now let’s see if going forward he can build on this.

Verdict: Jay Rell (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Jay Rell – “How the fuck y’all beef in sunny ass California?, ‘Meet me under the palm trees!'”

Jay Rell defeats HBK

by

Recap: After a somewhat lackluster round by HBK, Jay Rell goes hard in the paint, delivers fiery bars with hitting jokes and shows why he belongs in the big leagues.

Verdict: Jay Rell (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Jay Rell – “This battle started bad, when I show him how this Tommy work, that’ll make Martin mad”

Jay Rell defeats Logic

by

Recap: Logic tried and tried to use personals to invalidate Jay Rell street credibility, and while it was funny at times it got repetitive towards the end. Then too, a delicious combo of nice (“I punched through his right side and knocked left his right side silly, he gonna Ice Cube’s and TLC, he need a Westside connect to keep his Left Eye chilly”) schemes, hot bars and congenial wordplay will beat 3 rounds of one-dimensional angles any day of the week.

Verdict: Jay Rell (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Jay Rell – “Screwdriver to his mouth part have him talking out his neck like a Canadian from South Park”

Jay Rell defeats Gambitt

by

Recap: X-Factor looks on as Jay Rell scores another easy victory on his way to the URL/Proving Grounds.

Verdict: Jay Rell (W) 3-0

Favorite line:  Jay Rell – “You have 15 battles and 9 losses, that’s not the kind of record he should celebrate, You know what him and Detroit public schools got in common?, they both a 70 percent failure rate”

Jay Rell defeats Jayrone

by

Recap: In a battle for the name ‘Jay”….kidding. Jay Rell ventures outside of Detroit to get some competition and finds it in St. Louis’ Jayrone (who apparently doesn’t believe in not showing disloyalty in front of an outsider when he throws a few shots at Yung Ill), a hard spitter capable of tossing out that street (“I’m awfully hot, I start schemes plots for you small-ski twats”) shit along with plenty of guns bars and even a rebuttal here and there. Yet despite some stumbles here and there, Rell stays on point with enough jokes, punchlines and quality bars to win rounds 1 and 3 and take a win back to the D.

Verdict: Jay Rell (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jay Rell – “You sleep under the Arch, you tell bitches you got incredible views!”

Jay Rell defeats BE-Z

by

Recap: “I’ll squirt 10 at his mom’s then kill all her church friends!” Damn, that was kinda mean. Still, while BEZ had some bars and stepped it up in the 2nd round on the delivery, too many rapid schemes, metaphors, (“You accepting this battle nigga already sealed your fate, with them bumps on your neck nigga you need a Pro-Active pillowcase”) jokes and punchlines from Jay Rell gave him this one easy.

Verdict: Jay Rell (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Jay Rell – “You probably killed some pigeons and hawks when you dumped the cig, everybody with the app know that Angry Birds always come with pigs”

Jay Rell defeats A Oun

by

Recap: Despite all the noise, tension and lack of crowd control in the room, Jay Rell still has enough mettle, hard-hitting bars, hairline jokes and delivery to perform a bodybag on A Oun.

Verdict: Jat Rell (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Jay Rell – “Last battle you had on fake Jordan’s and you stay talking, so even if you stay outside the crosswalk the cops will not confuse that with jaywalking”
