So I was checking out the DNA, B MAGIC battle and yes I'm a fan of DNA but man he gets no love from URL. I think maybe because for a lot of the crowds he's viewed as an outsider. He moves around a lot, goes to different leagues and has a more rounded style to most of the smack rappers. Basically he doesn't just spit generic gun bars. This battle illustrates this perfectly.
B MAGIC was up first and, I rate him he's got some nice wordplays and mean punches but I felt they could be spat to any other rapper, anywhere, ever. That was the difference in this battle. I listened closely to both guys but DNA's bars weren't only as clever as B MAGIC's but they were tailored. Meaning the majority of his punches could have only been thrown at B MAGIC.
The thing is, I don't think the crowd saw it that way. They were making a lot more noise for MAGIC and occasionally they were cheering for DNA but listening to the reactions it seemed very one sided. Either they don't get it, or they just don't like DNA. This seems to be an emerging pattern whenever I see DNA battle on SMACK. Looking at the comments under the video the opinions apart from 1 or 2 think DNA is corny or just plain garbage and shouldn't be considered top tier. I really don't get it.
So I'll break it down how I thought it went. DNA came up short in the first round. He was going well and just when I thought he'd done enough to take the round he ended pretty weak, which for me B MAGIC had the stronger round. The next went to DNA. He had some strong concepts tailored to B MAGIC and MAGIC just had a load of generic gun bars that were clever and dropped well but nonetheless generic and even though he's pleasing the crowd with them shits, I'm not so gullible. The third went to DNA for the exact same reasons. His bars were more clever and he matched or even exceeded B MAGIC in terms of performance.
So what do you think? Why is DNA so under appreciated by the URL fan base? Or am I wrong and he is as corny as people say he is.
[My Verdict: 2-1 DNA]
