Mr. Wavy

Drugz and Mr. Wavy [DEBATABLE]

by

 

Recap: Fire battle between Mr. Wavy and Drugz features a shitload of eccentric gun bars, performance-heavy showmanship, fiery personals (esp. from Drugz during a superb 3rd round: ‘You tore the building down verse this nigger [points at K-Shine looking on in the crowd] like literally…but you never did it again!’), stunted lyrical shiners (esp. during round 1) and a host of formidable punchlines. And while Wavy may have went a little overkill with the name flips (as is expected against Drugz), most of them were pretty dope, while the always aggressive Drugz flexed a versatile game that often gets overlooked when it comes to The Gun Show. That said, an equal ratio of haymakers in the 1st round makes that one a tie, before Wavy clearly took the 2nd round with a standout and an almost flawless turn that gave the Brooklyn rhymer the edge going into a final round. And while Wavy was still cooking plenty of heat in the 3rd, an aforementioned sublime turn by Drugz would give him the round and force a draw.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Mr. Wavy – “You barely made a name after the group…this nigger Kelly Rowland!”

Nunn Nunn defeats Mr. Wavy

by

Recap: Dope Ultimate Madness 2 battle between Mr. Wavy and Nunn Nunn that outside of Wavy getting a little political midway through his 2nd round, had all the fiery punchlines, piercing name flips, flexing personals and righteous mayhem one could ask for. Split going into the 3rd round with a punch-heavier Wavy taking the 1st round before Nunn Nunn upped his bar efficiency to take the 2nd, a pretty spitfire and versatile 3rd round on both ends gets edged by Nunn Nunn for having one more haymaker as well as the best line of the round.

Verdict: Nunn Nunn (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Nunn Nunn – “You think you never fell off, you sure?, then why you competing for a Summer Madness reward when you been on Summer Madness before?!”

Mr. Wavy defeats Steams

by

Recap: Mr. Wavy just kills it here. Battling against fellow We Go Hard alumni Steams in this 3-round Ultimate Madness 2 matchup, a turned-up Wavy unleashes a consistent barrage of raucous gun lines, mocking personals, flexing punches/schemes and other obligatory damage over the course of 3 rounds to easily beat back his punch-worthy at times, but mostly subpar opponent and move on to the next round.

Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Mr. Wavy – “Weapon shoot, potato on a barrel, Steams [steam] vegetable!”

Brizz Rawsteen defeats Mr. Wavy

by

Recap: Mr. Wavy’s been requesting a battle with Brizz Rawsteen for a little while now and he finally gets it as part of a Smack Volume 3 card. Two battlers mostly known for their performance, it’s Wavy who edges round 1 with more consistently potent bars that were topped by a flexing execution of dope (“15 on his head, let the ratchet screen, eye squinted like the Japanese, fuck it, I could do two-for-20, Wecole to Applebee’s!”) punchlines and some nice wordplay. An elongated Wavy would come back in the 2nd with a solid, but less stellar turn that just had too many dry spots, in turn allowing a (“It’s Raw in front of you, this dope, not sushi Wave, naw it’s the moving blade on the side of ya head, giving you that Boosie fade!”) name-flipping, more eccentric with the performance bars, steely with the personals and bar (“Beasley called, said you got 30 days prep, I said cool, tell that nigger he got 30 days left!”) heavy Brizz to tie things up going into the 3rd. The 3rd would’ve been a close one with Wavy mixing in some fire punches with steady aggression, moxie, storytelling bars, nice set-ups and witty (“Yunno, the type of nigger, ou try to show them something in your phone and he just start going through ya shit?…Brizz look like he would do that shit!”) personals…until he surprisingly choked near the end of his turn, giving a pretty solid, braggadocios and still super nice with the personals/name flips Brizz the edge and get the win.

Verdict: Brizz Rawsteen (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Brizz Rawsteen – “The difference between two high points is wavelength, bitch I’ll put you between two high points…Wave length!”

Mr. Wavy defeats Jerry Wess

by

Recap: A couple of WeGoHard grads, Jerry Wess and Mr. Wavy, go at it on the Smack/URL big stage and put on what turns to be a mostly solid, competitive, grandstanding and bar-heavy showing. However, it’s Wavy, with seemingly more to prove lyrically what with the ‘performance’ stamp at the top of his resume, who arguably dishes his best and most consistently spitfire round ever, a sizzling first that contained a boatload of hitting punchlines, fire (“Jerry Wess?!, I be on the West side of Jerry, that’s how I name flip [bang!]”!) name flips, performance-rich and dope schemes that end’s up beating back an overall solid, hard-hitting at times, name (“My nigger’s steal on Wave like they don’t give a fuck if the beach closed!”) flip-spazzing and condensed, but inconsistent turn by Wess. 2nd round, while elongated, saw a more versatile Wavy dish a load of heat with fiery punches, some standout wordplay, well-amped gun bars that all matched well with yet another tight performance, once again depicting an earnest attitude towards changing the mind’s of those who’ve underestimated the strength of his pen and easily winning what was another stirring at times, but sometimes lackluster turn by Wess. Besides both spitting some fire schemes and nasty punchlines throughout the round, the duo finally address their shared home league turf and other intermediate situations/shenanigans/allegations in the 3rd, which Wess edges with a more consistently potent flow and better (“Nigga, my bitch will stab and shoot you, looks deceiving, he won’t even think, “danger”, she nice with the dagger and fuck with the Tommy, she the Pink Ranger!”) performance bars. However, with Wavy already taking the first two rounds, his opponent’s final round comeuppance would come a little too late.

Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Mr. Wavy – “See, wherever he go, don’t become a runner, I follow every move that you make, I got the tracking number!”

Mr. Wavy defeats Chef Trez

by

Recap: Sometimes one side just does a little more. Pretty solid overall with the bars, extra (“I handle llama’s and send the drama, to end the karma, have the Chef surrounded…reservations at Benihana’s!”) fierce with an aggressive performance, mocking his opponent with witty schemes/personals and willing to take a few risks here and there with the pen (tho I’d x-nay rebutting yourself), Mr. Wavy edges rounds 2 and 3 and pulls off a minor upset over the favored Chef Trez, who while finessing with spicy rebuttals, some fine freestyles and fiery (“But it’s Mr. “Debatable”, till I squeeze a K, it’s gonna hit you, or your people’s face, now it’s really debatable, ‘cuz I’ma put it two one (2-1) either way!”) schemes/personals/wordplay throughout, would fall victim to not only a fight that occurred in the crowd midway thru his 2nd round (that admittedly threw him off, tho he had a fire [“I had this crafted perfectly, but nigger’s sabotaging the fucking picture…all that fighting in the crowd, whatever dog, y’all some sucker niggers and Smack, I’m sorry that shit had to happen, you know I’m fucking with you, but when you punch like this, it usually got influence on other nigger’s!”] rebut for it), but a few too many predictable punches/gun lines, personals themes that became a bit redundant and a sometimes flat (and distracting) pen game.

Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Mr. Wavy – “I’m strapped in…nah nigger I already clapped him!”

Mr. Wavy defeats Nu Jerzey Twork

by

Recap: In this performance-heavy battle between Mr. Wavy and Nu Jerzey Twork, an unforced error by Twork, cutting off Wavy’s 2nd round due to time limits and allowing him the opportunity to start his 3rd with hilarious barbs (that were intended for Wavy’s 2nd) on Twork’s hairline encapsulates the entire battle that saw Wavy (after getting edged in round one by a more condensed and [“Damn the zombie, I’ll stitch a bird across Wave chest…Abercrombie!”] potent Twork) use consistently fire punchlines/schemes, fierce personals, ‘nasty’ (“Your squad gassed, the clip longer than the fro that Marge had!”) gun bars and a altogether witty, crowd-pleasing performance (that Twork himself said caused him to choke away his 2nd round) to earn the win and put his name back in the mix when it comes to the big stage.

Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Mr. Wavy – “You look like if you go to the club without an I.D. then take your hoodie off, they be like ‘Aight, go ahead nigga!'”

Mr. Wavy defeats Bill Collector

by

Recap: Even with a dope performance from Mr. Wavy, this battle vs. Bill Collector is a laborious one. But I guess elongated rounds (esp. from Wavy) are to be expected when you’ve been on the shelf and sitting on bars for awhile. Either way, pitted against a boatload of random darts and sluggish bars from BC (who only things competitive in the 1st round), Wavy not only made it look easy but earned his paycheck with a barrage of fine-tuned gun lines, gritty punchlines, nice performance bars, ill dance moves and witty personals to score a 30.

Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Mr. Wavy – “This strap curb nicely, that’s behind the back!”

John John da Don defeats Mr. Wavy

by

Recap: One could easily nickname this battle ‘Doing Too Much’. From John John da Don doing too much by unabashedly dissing Smack/URL on their own stage. Or Mr Wavy doing way too much in an elongated 2nd round, that while littered with a few haymakers here and there, was belabored by too many mediocre bars and simple schemes. Then too there was a crowd doing way too much with constant interruptions during Mr. Wavy’s 3rd round amidst loud, continuous cries for an end to a battle they felt JJDD had won handily. Still, while John John showed his (“These rappers is food, what y’all call the stage, is my eatery, I set him up for the shot, I guess that just the PG in me!”; “I’m charged up, back to back like that light-skinned nigga, but he could be Drake, I’m Quentin Miller, I gotta write for this nigga!”) vet mettle throughout this battle with fiery schemes, aggressive punches and mocking (“Deuce in a boot, got me walking like I sprained an ankle!”) personals, besides the final round, this certainly wasn’t a body as thanks in part to a mid-round slip-up during round 1 and Wavy’s ability to comeback (“…John try to haul ass, get that animal to his neck like a Lacrosse tag!”; “You lost to Shine, I sonned Shine, go check the forecast!”) nicely and make things competitive after a rambunctious turn by JJDD early on, the ‘Rookie’ almost made the 1st a debatable. And despite dishing more (“Nigga, you ready for combat? ‘cuz I get busy, ain’t shit iffy, construction work out glove, that grip with me!”) haymakers in round 2, it was Wavy who hurt himself there with a feast or famine turn before completely faltering in the 3rd (tho he began with a nice rebuttal) in light of a somewhat biased crowd as well as JJDD’s continued heat.

Verdict: John John da Don (W) 3-0

Favorite line: John John da Don – “That nigga Chizzy said he chased you and made you jump from the steel, you seen the clips and got pussy, ain’t that Netflix and chill?!”

Mr. Wavy defeats K-Shine

by

Recap: Rookies vs. Vets battle between the charismatic Mr. Wavy and the wily K-Shine certainly had its share of moments (like Wavy’s 2nd round ‘Oh I get it, you like ’em, a little debatable’ punch which I thought was actually a lot better than the notorious ‘Shotgun in the pants leg I’m walking like a zombie wit it’ performance line from round 1), gritty punchlines, flinging (Shine: “The kick back gon make it look like he shot me!”) mayhem. ringing name flips (esp. from Shine), rook vs. vet chatter, fiery schemes/storytelling and even, in the 3rd round, a human prop courtesy of Shine. That said, overall Wavy (give him the 2nd and 3rd rounds after a debatable 1st) gets the edge here as the Brooklyn emcee not only displayed a level of versatility with his raps that you don’t normally see from relative newbies, but Shine’s often erratic flow combined with a somewhat lazy 3rd round definitely gave you the feel that he wasn’t as prepared as his opponent, thus the loss.

Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Mr. Wavy – “I put niggas in front of lines like they got some free throws coming, that Bull shit’ll get you hurt, I got a D Rose button!”

Mr. Wavy defeats prez mafia

by

Recap: After a strong (“I’ll flip the pound right through ya chest, but it ain’t King Kong!”) first round from the performance-heavy Mr. Wavy is countered by a stronger and more consistently nice turn from a frenetically (“Stay sick, you only play sick, this nigga Ferris Bueller!”; “These arms I bear [bare] on ya couch, that’s Ted nigga!”) potent Prez Mafia, it’s the latter who dramatically loses steam in this battle of URL newcomers while the former glistens. Indeed, a 2nd round stumble for Mafia only enhanced what was a lackluster turn anyway. And while Wavy’s 2nd wasn’t as powerful as the his 1st, combined with Prez’s downhill styling’s, it was still solid (“You could that metal by [swings arms towards Prez’s mouth] your grill, that’s a license plate!”) enough to even things up going into the 3rd. The final round? An easy body for Wavy. After Prez seemingly cuts his turn short what with more mediocre bars and a lack of crowd reaction, Wavy, steadily scoring with loaded gun bars, winning schemes and dope personals, wins the crowd and more importantly, the battle.

Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Mr. Wavy – “Nigga you from BX, that’s a Puerto Rican stop, I get the drop on this nigga from a Puerto Rican thot, she said, wherever they sell joints, that’s where Puerto Rican’s shop, nigga death gonna be Goya, that’s a Puerto Rican box!”

Mr. Wavy defeats Ah Di Boom

by

Recap: Besides a few reaches and some filler here and there, an altogether solid (“Man this is Norbez fault, why you tossed in this heat, well a shot will clear ya mind, while you walking the beat!”) turn by Ah di Boom. However, besides a debatable 1st round that was equal on the haymakers, this PG is all Mr. Wavy, consistently styling with a gang of animated bars, slick street talk, witty (“I’m something you nigga’s can’t see…tall Mexican!”) jokes and exquisite (“My lines popping, jaws been [Jordan’s] dropping…no, my lines crazy, like Jordan’s dropping!”) wordplay/punchlines, when this one hits the books it’ll show another win for BK.

Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Mr. Wavy – “Bird nigga, I’ll spray y’all mouth, I zone a Cardinal…y’all probably like ‘Why he ain’t say Arizona Cardinal?’, you stupid nigga, ‘cuz I already took the A R out!”

Mr. Wavy defeats Kidrock Dollaz

by

Synopsis: Mr. Wavy is not only a problem, but a clown (” But fuck it, I’m feenin’ for ya’ seat, I’m like an Asian on the train”) as well. Really. Granted Kidrock Dollaz gave him some comp. (esp. in a debatable round 2), but other than that this wasn’t really close as Wavy’s consistently superb bars, schemes, jokes and overall performance easily gave him rounds 1 and 3.

Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 2-1

Best line: Mr. Wavy – “That’s ya man? Well just know I’m wilding on him, that’s ya man? (‘a hundred grand’), so why the fuck you ain’t throw in the towel for him?”

Mr. Wavy defeats Boogie Flamez

by

Recap: Ummm….besides Boogie Flamez possibly taking battle rap a little too literally what with all his bad sportsmanship and being unintentionally (“My block is like white people Kool-Aid, it ain’t sweet nigga!”) funny at times, overall his real street bars while sounding authentic, lack intricacy, thus giving way to the animated bars of Mr. Wavy, who besides his usual glowing performance etiquette throughout, gets busy here with a slew of rigid (“Your ratchets ain’t got no bodies, like a stick figure!”) punchlines and fly-guy darts/personals to score an easy 3-0.

Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Mr. Wavy – “I ain’t gonna fuck Boogie bitch, that’s wild low…but just know, I walk away with that head, I’m Al Snow!”

Mr. Wavy defeats Majik

by

Recap: Light battle. Wavy’s been way better than this and after Majik bit Hitman Holla’s remix in round 2, I was pretty much done for the night.

Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 3-0

Favorite line: Mr. Wavy – “Don’t care if you 6-7 or a leprechaun height, these two .25’s ain’t a Metrocard swipe”

Mr. Wavy defeats Foreplae

by

 

Synopsis: My man put me on to this Mr. Wavy cat outta BK and I must confess….I’m hooked. I mean this kid is a beast with personals, performance, bars, jokes, delivery…it’s all there. From the 1st round to the 3rd. Wavy put on a show and just destroyed Foreplae like he wasn’t there. And what with 6 or 7 battles under his belt, I could see Mr. Wavy stepping up and being a serious problem for more upper echelon heads in 2014.

Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 3-0

Best line: Mr. Wavy – “And the crowd? Y’all gonna be standing there looking over his body…with that face like he had Kool-Aid with no sugar and he thought it had flavor in it”

Mr. Wavy defeats Yung Xerxes

by

Synopsis: Damn, this was brutal. Wavy puts on a superb show complete with crazy punchlines, dope schemes, feelgood bars (“It’s Mr. Wavy I’m into bad bitch[es] on sight, and I’m known to be on skin like mosquito bites”) and altogether an over-the-top performance. And the other guy….yeah well this is brutal.

Verdict: Mr. Wavy (W) 1-0

Favorite line: Mr. Wavy – “Pardon my back lil nigga, it’s Mr. Wavy, shit I could walk away without a stain on em, he still talkin’ I moon walk it and bang on em!”
