R Streetz

Danja Zone defeats R Streetz

by

Recap: File this one under ‘WTF Was He Thinking?!?’. A stickler for hardbody punches/schemes, after edging round 1 versus a punch-heavy, but less cleaner Danja Zone, R Streetz goes into ‘How To Lose A Battle You Were Winning’ mode and uses half his 2nd round to dish mostly lame jokes/personals, before getting back on his grind in the deciding 3rd and about a minute in…tagging in T Top for a cameo appearance that clearly meant for something else. And then he quit the round. Yeah, really. Either way, with Danja Zone pretty on point and scoring with solid punchlines and wordplay throughout his 2nd and 3rd rounds, one could make the case that Streetz probably would’ve lost the battle to the DMV vet anyway. But the sheer idea of getting away from got you on the big stage in the first place and fucking around with roasting sessions and an unreliable tag-in, kind of says that you didn’t deserve to win this battle anyway.

Verdict: Danja Zone (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Danja Zone – “Whoever said this would be a movie, should come to events a lot less faded…we still trying to figure if R a PG like ‘This Film Is Not Yet Rated’!”

R Streetz defeats Reepah Rell

by

Recap: An eccentric, but hardbody R Streez uses a well-themed, ‘real rap shit’ 3rd round to break a tie and pull off a mild upset over the veteran Reepah Rell, who besides boasting a crazy (“You see me? Mister Unruly, big toolie, you’ll be under Streetz for being a clown, It movie!”) 2nd round, didn’t quite deliver on his usual, consistent offerings of exquisite wordplay in a close 1st (that btw, featured a pair of tits getting flashed: ‘Say it again!’) and an indisputable 3rd.

Verdict: R Streez (W) 2-1

Favorite line: R Streez – “Real nigga’s bars, playing chess with your cellmate, but he ain’t even your cellmate…you yelling out ‘Queen 6’ through the toilet bowl!”

R. Streetz defeats Mack Mel

by

Recap: More a battle with a host of showmanship, rigid gun lines and “moments” (R. Streetz dropping the water bottle by Mack Mel to accentuate his ‘distracting’ 2nd round gun bar, being the best one) rather than a clean and fiery barfest, a surprising choke by Mel in the 2nd prevents this battle from being a classic. However, the PG battle’s competitive nature, sterling punches on both sides, a debatable 1st round and Mel coming back in the 3rd with a (“But I seen you came here in a new J’s, UCLA, nice chain, Norbes, I see you like the nice things, [swish!!!] buck-50 aside, I gave Streetz a bike lane!”) too-fiery turn that easily beat back a pretty standard round from Streetz, while normally making this one a draw, instead, thanks to the choke, gives it to R. Streetz.

Verdict: R. Streetz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: R. Streetz – “.22 in the boot, done rubbed on my Achilles so much, the skin don’t grow there!”

Mr. Mills defeats R Streetz

by

Recap: Hey rules are rules, so seeing a veteran like Mr. Mills in a PG might be suspect to some, but he still made the most of it. Indeed, displaying consistent focus with steely raps and sanguine punches that kept in this matchup versus a rapid R Streetz. An equal amount of bullish raps makes for a debatable first round, before Streetz edges a fire-on-both-sides 2nd with a slightly more consistent flow, better performance and one more (“I load the clip like easy on the salt, a couple of tips for Mills [meals]!”) a haymaker. However, going into the 3rd behind by a round, Mills continues to score with some stifling (“Don’t look now but the ratchet got your back, that’s loyalty!”) punches and dope punchlines/personals that increase his chances of getting a tie…except when almost halfway through his round, out of nowhere R Streetz chokes. Unfortunately, the ultimate screw-up doesn’t just make for a loss of the round, but with a technical added to the foul, the battle as well.

Verdict: Mr Mills (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Mr Mills – “But in this telegraph, I figured I’d use murder to start the letter off, so when I put the nina to whom it may concern, think [points at R Streetz] ‘To Whom It May Concern’ when I start the letter off!”

R Streetz defeats Drugz

by

Recap: Drugz’ loud and aggressive style works wonders when his bars match his delivery. And while he’s able to hit it out the (“Go to D.C. and ask about Drugz…you gonna get a bag!”) park here and there in this altogether raucous and entertaining battle against R Streetz, too often then not, Drugz buoyancy really comes off as filler. That said, it’s a more well-rounded, (“I’ll clap Yusef, bang on him, Yusef is dead, if Yusef survive, he gonna lose use of [Yusef] his legs!”) performance-boastting and more consistently hitting Mr. Streetz taking rounds 1 and 2 for the win.

Verdict: R Streetz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: R Streetz – “I hate Yu [Jew] so much, I’ll give you anti-sematics [anti sem atics]!”

R Streetz and Jynx Da Don [Debatable]

by

Recap: Never been a fan of 2-rounders, but this one’s still fire what with R Streetz spitting hot (“The clip curved, I gotta load it sideways, it’s the big heat so it hook from the side…like strippers to make end’s meet!”) punches and schemes at will in round one to easily beat back a pretty pedestrian turn by opponent Jynx da Don. That wouldn’t be the end of it tho as Jynx turned up in the second round, punching and landing with flat-footed urban theater that scored with the quickness, just enough to take the round over another solid turn by sturdy Mr. Streetz.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: Jynx Da Don – “A round in the streets, that’s probably a sewer nigga, if I put a round in Streetz, he’ll probably sue a nigga!”

R Streetz defeats Chef Trez

by

Recap: Wow! Two of the South’s best, Chef Trez and R Streetz, put on what has to be one of 2016’s finest battles, going toe-for-toe with an equal parlance for lyrical acumen, while also delivering a gang of crazy, dope punchlines/similes, piercing name flips, some scheming personals, boastful shiners and hard-hitting gun bars. Oh yeah, and the wordplay was on point throughout as well. That said, with each round being super tight and nary a slip-up (we’ll chalk up a slight 2nd round hiccup by Streetz on Trez talking while he rapped) from either battler, Streetz’s ability to get a little more versatile and witty in the 2nd round and come with a slightly more condensed 3rd, all the while equating his ever-gunning opponent on haymakers, gives him the edge (after he got edged by Trez in the 1st) in both of the latter rounds for the win.

Verdict: R Streetz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: R Streetz – “You’re not the best, get it clear, catch him in traffic…buck at the front of his car like he hit a deer!”

R Streetz defeats B. Strong

by

Recap: The aggressive, braggadocio and gun-centric bars of B. Strong get lit at times, but too often lack intricacy, therefore losing steam, much less any chance of beating a more consistent, set-up/punch potent and wordplay-heavy R Streetz in this one-round battle from 100 Bars Magazine.

Verdict: R Streez (W) 1-0

Favorite line: R Streetz – “Save that rah-rah bully shit for rap nigga’s, not with me, ‘cuz you won’t even finish that sentence…it’s like he copped a plea!”

R Streetz defeats Skates

by

Recap: Confident and concise with his raps, R Streetz impresses with a steady stream of potent gun lines, fiery set-ups and fierce (“I don’t rap with a lisp, so if you catch a little spit…it’s intentional!”) punchlines to beat back a solid overall, but too often pedestrian Skates in the first couple of rounds here for the win, before an elongated and slightly running out of gas Streetz gets edged by a more consistent and hardbody (“Your set can get it too, what you claiming?, red or blue fucka?, it don’t matter, a couple of shots will make him show his true colors!”) Skates in the 3rd.

Verdict: R Streetz (W) 2-1

Favorite line: R Streetz – “Now I checked them game tapes, and it seems these lames think, that you got all these power lines…so I’m a have hang Skates!”

Automatic Ray defeats R Streetz

by

Recap: Two dope rounds from R Streetz and Automatic Ray equate to a tie going into the deciding 3rd. However, an out-of-nowhere choke by Streetz leaves Ray with the task of just completing his turn without interruption, which the witty, veteran battler gamely does.

Verdict: Automatic Ray (W) 2-1

Favorite line: Automatic Ray – “I brought gun’s for the cheddar, that’s mac on mac, ski mask, Jay great, that’s Black on Black!

R Streetz defeats Incredible BA

by

Recap: Way more intricate with the bars and scoring at will with the fiery wordplay, a rampant R Streetz beats back a solid and witty showing by Incredible BA in this one-rounder from SDH TrainingDay.

Verdict: R Streetz (W) 1-0

Favorite line: R Streetz – “This a bag, he ain’t fucking with me, what’d you think would happen when you put BA in front of a ‘G’!”

R Streetz defeats Tony Gwapo

by

Recap: Flexing some nice wordplay, fortified gun lines and hard, braggadocio bars throughout this one-round matchup, R Streetz withstands the swift, sometimes fiery punches of Tony Gwaop, who if he didn’t spend a quarter of his turn going at other rappers besides his opponent might’ve stood a better chance at beating the guy in front of him.

Verdict: R Streetz (W) 1-0

Favorite line: R Streetz – “Nigga, you smell fake, [so] when this little nigga pop up on you, it ain’t Hell Date!”

R Streetz defeats J Juice

by

Recap: A home league battle drenched with a lot of personals gets deciphered on the quality of the bars instead of what’s true or not true. That said, as much as J. Juice’s street flow came off unique and biting, R Streez’s versatility and his ability to spout more haymaker’s, got him this one.

Verdict: R Streetz (W) 1-0

Favorite line: R Streetz – “I’ll give him a buck-fifty like I’m riding the bus!”

T Top vs. R Streetz (TIE)

by

Recap: Really, it’s not that serious. Here we find what looked to be building up to a decent battle between T Top and R Streetz, get spoiled by heads in the crowd taking things a little too personally. Reminder: it’s a rap battle people and heads who can’t differentiate between entertainment and real life shit could do us all a favor by just staying home.

Verdict: TIE

Favorite line: T Top – “The armor clap will send this army brat back to Iraq”
