Recap: Anyone who’s followed Jaz The Rapper’s battle career knows that she only battles about once a year. So for 2018, why not see Jaz battle…a male rapper…from the UK…named Shuffle T…on Don’t Flop…in the UK…on a stage that looked like what you’d see in a college lecture hall (with a seemingly studious crowd to match). Right. And while did contain its share of belittling personals, storytelling bars and (esp. on Shuffle T’s part) varied wit, it was also a really friendly battle. That said, after a debatable round 1, it’s a more battle-canny Jaz (the fact that her opponent didn’t do his research enough to not know or care that Jaz was no longer a virgin anymore, was ill-advised to say the least) who uses some dope punchlines/personals and hitting wordplay to take the 2nd and 3rd rounds for the win.
Verdict: Jaz The Rapper (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Jaz The Rapper – “Adam, I found out you’re an atheist, they say God don’t exist, but he created Adam, see you don’t believe the stories they tell, but how they gonna have faith you gonna beat me, when you don’t even believe in yourself?!”
