No Bias. No Narratives.
Recap: Here in this 3-round battle from AHAT, a strong 3rd by Stash doesn’t offset his much weaker earlier rounds, which in turn way gave way to Whosane’s more metaphorical and wordplay-heavy raps, thus giving the 845 rapper the vic.
Verdict: Whosane (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Whosane – “My semi crack head’s in the front just like the loosie spot!”
Recap: Another nice battle from The Trap sees Stash score consistently with aggressive (“You sure you from Harlem nigga?, ‘cuz you straight bummy, if we exchange bucks these four .5’s will break 20!”) shiners and some potent schemes throughout his 3 rounds to gain a split in round 1 and edge round 3 over an (“I got bars, and I scheme for the punch like I’m sneaking a nigga!”; “The gun big, it look like it shoots t-shirts at half-time!”) overall solid/wordplay heavy, but shaky at times Fettuccine20.
Verdict: TIE
Favorite line: Stash – “Get Ya Boy Clip [clipped] like a dirty tackle below the knees!”
Recap: Really good battle, barfest, both came with it. However, while Stash got better and more potent with each round, Xcel stayed consistent throughout, delivering heat upon heat with better showmanship, personals and performance than his opponent who saved his best round for the 3rd. However, by then it was too late as I thought Xcel clearly got round one and edged the second.
Verdict: Xcel (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Xcel – “Dog, I hear the critics, I see ’em when I look, they say my bars is way over heads…well read a book!”
