Gemini is pretty good.

Watched this last night in my rap battle catch up spree. A rookie versus a vet. And Gemini, who I saw live at Brixton Jamm a while back has vastly improved. He's always seemed confident so that wasn't the issue, I just thought that previously his punchlines weren't connecting consistently. But in this battle versus Unan he brought his A game. 3 rounds of consistently good punchlines. They had humour, venom and clownage and Unan suffered a lot from the crowd reaction that Gemini was getting. He raised the roof with several hard hitting lines. He attacked the usual spots for anyone facing Unanymous; that he's a 'farm boy' his over the top style and hocus pocus content his mothers supposed drug problem, his assault charges against an ex girlfriend and more. As you can see, Tommy has provided a lot of ammo for his opponents and Gemini took full advantage of that and really pummelled him with every one of them.

First round went to Gemini easily. Unanymous choked in his first and was very slow to gain momentum before and after that choke. Round two Unanymous picked it up and Gemini although had a solid round wasn't as good as his first and Unanymous seemed to rap forever in the second, and with good aggressive unfaltered content he took it. At 1-1 it seemed close but when the third was done it was all over. Gemini was consistent again and Unan choked. Again. Horribly. So for me this was a bodybag of sorts. Because Gemini was consistent and Unan frankly, was all over the place and looked troubled the whole battle.

A word on Unanymous style. I don't feel it's natural. He puts on this persona and where it might work for someone who makes it believable and who believes in it, it really isn't working for Unanymous. I don't think he believes in it himself anymore after being grilled so often about it. His aggressiveness is losing it's power and as a result losing its ability to win over a crowd. He has good bars, that's proven, but his current style just makes him look a bit daft and unconvincing. He needs to stop saying 'yea' and heavy breathing between bars too it makes him look like he's copying Dizaster. Rant over.

[My Verdict: 2-1 Gemini]
