Recap: Can’t recap this Bags and Bodies 3-rounder between Hitman Holla and Ms. Hustle without first giving props to Hitman for releasing it on YouTube only a few days after it took place. That doesn’t happen often, especially when it’s a couple of top tier’s. Moving on, Holla with a wide (including a couple of rebuttals) arsenal of solid punches, righteous chit-chat, witty/hitting (“You got all these dudes to write for you, but can’t find one man to do right by you!”) personals and boastful barbs for the most (the latter half of his 3rd round was definitely a bit underwhelming at times) part kept it competitive throughout. While on the other hand an often animated (she even pulled out a so-so remix in round 1) Hustle kept it G with a gang of piercing gun bars, mocking personals, gritty punchlines, solid struggle bars and just angles when she wasn’t spiling the tea on her fallout with former bestie Remy Ma. That said, it’s a more haymaker-lit Holla who takes round 1, before a debatable 2nd and a way more steadily hitting Hustle took the 3rd to make this battle even-steven.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Ms. Hustle – “Just stop trying to be a Blood type and go be [B] positive!”
