Recap: Born has been on enough of a winning run that the major leagues need to let go of his old rep and give him another opportunity to shine. As seen here, even in a close battle against an able (“If y’all ain’t know, he spell ‘new’ ‘Nu’ cuz’ he ain’t got any W’s”) up-n-comer in Philly’s Madface, Born’s consistent knack for crafting intelligent schemes, potent wordplay and heavy, hard-hitting (“He step in the spot like ‘what up?’, reaching over to dap me slow, I’ll knock his hand and play The Aviator like Leonardo DiCaprio”) bars now makes him good comp for just about anybody, people just need to pay attention.
Verdict: Born (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Born – “I said ok, I said no Mardi Gras when I’m flashing these, I’m that official, so sheis mid-battle I get to shittin’, I don’t know what being classy means”
