Recap: Well, this one took an unexpected couple of turns. Harlem’s Jade versus Chicago emcee P.A.N.I.C. on QOTR starts off blazing with a punch-heavy, brazen and wordplay-lit 1st round that scored a draw while leaving you thinking that this battle could be a classic. But then everything went left what with P.A.N.I.C.suffering from a couple of slip-ups in the middle round, before giving up round 2 to a still consistently spicy Jade. And then, just when one was looking forward to P.A.N.I.C.getting back on her feet and mounting a comeback, come to find out like 5 bars in that the two battlers wrote their 3rd round together in order to take some personal shots at co-league owner Deebo. And while two battlers sharing a round was unique and perhaps a first in battle rap, with the amount of talent both Jade and P.A.N.I.C. have, would’ve much preferred that they continued competing against each other.
Verdict: Jade (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Jade – “I get extra greasy when I fight, Vaseline and cocoa butter, nothing of mine pinch, you must ain’t read me right like the fine print!”
