Recap: Although it nearly led to fisticuffs, credit LP Dame for introducing ‘drunk rap’ to Gates of the Garden. And tho his bars may’ve come a little sloshed, Dame’s ability to dish his mostly hardbody lines with nary a slip-up does hint that something could be there if he were to rhyme yunno….sober. Still, for all of Dame’s loaded raps, a wary Bill Collector (with more than an able assist from the always eccentric LB Da Boss) does just enough, with a couple of nice freestyles and aggressive heaters mixed in, to ward off what would’ve been a mild upset.
Verdict: Bill Collector (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Bill Collector – “My niggas lined up for the kick, you the Concords!”
