THAT'S LIGHT!!

So I've been kinda absent from posting for a while because I aint seen any battles that I've really wanted to talk about. But this one was a must. Also the Illmac battle which i might post about as well. This one was fuckin on some electrifying shit. Two dudes with pretty different styles. On the one hand Roc is all about gun bars and aggression where as Clipse comes a bit more clever and has that charisma. He also showed in this battle that he's extremely versatile. He came alot more aggressive in this one and in the first round out barred Roc quite convincingly. Roc's first went hard but Clipse was on another level with his.

The second was really close. So close that it came down to Clipse having a minor stumble and Tay not. That's the thing about Tay Roc, his delivery is just too nice. So the third, Roc was ill, but Clipse just had the better angles that made him the better man. So he edged the third too, even with a slight stumble again but it wasn't enough of a fuck up to give Roc the round although some disagree. I like both of these guys equally and it would be cool if Roc broke Clipse winning streak but it just didn't happen. Roc had all his usual stuff which was fire but Clipse came with hard bars and came pretty aggressive aswell. Which he needed to to counter act Rocs style.

Dope, dope battle. Despite the title of this post there weren't nothing light about it.

[My Verdict: Clipse 2-1]

Arcane won

That's the title of this blog post because the anti-Arcaners will say otherwise because they hate him for what he did. I still say he'd have won the chain without the bought bars. He's much better than Cheddar and he destroyed Dizaster without any help. For me, that case is closed. Arcane won this battle aswell. His first round was better than DNA's who's angles to me felt a bit boring. DNA picked it up in the second he had a nice flip on Arcanes 1st round closer and kept momentum to take the round. But in the third he again fell flat. Especially with his slogans. He needs to cut that shit out. It really is boring and wastes valuable time he could have had to construct a few more decent bars to close out his verse.

Arcanes third was ill. He just came with facts about DNA's career thus far. I was feeling it. Even though I like DNA, from a certain perspective Arcane raised some good points about DNA and his battle patterns and habits. I felt he picked him apart as he tends to do so well to take the third. The crowd were awful. I think there seems to be a bit of an excitement lull at KOTD and it's affecting the battles which have kept their quality.

What's next for Arcane? Seeing as he did beat Pat and now DNA... I think he should be given a shot at Clipse or even a rematch against Charron. I think that would be interesting. Arcane is definately one of the best in the game right now. He has been for a while.



[My Verdict 2-1 Arcane]

O'shea edges it

Home crowd aside. I'd give this to O'Shea. I though Big J took round 2 with his personals on O'Shea's girl but his failing was not taking his rounds far enough in terms of length. He stopped short in all 3 and for me didn't do enough to win the battle. O'Shea had way more content and some freestyling thrown in and both were entertaining I just though O'Shea brought more to the table.







[My Verdict 2-1 O'Shea]

100 Bulletz was right 'it was light'

I thought J-Pro came in to this much stronger. You could just see he was more hungry in his delivery. Bulletz had some clever lines but for me they just didn't hit hard enough. It just seemed light. Bulletz needs to step it up from this to get back where he was. Hasn't seemed as hot since he got bodied by Arcane last year. He just seemed to rhyme alot but not much umph coming out of it. J-Pro wins on harder bars and far superior delivery and clowning not only him but the people he fucks with.

[My Verdict J-Pro 3-0]

Charron a little off

Big disappointment this one. Less from the performances but more for the KOTD crowd. They seemed to be asleep the entire battle. I was expecting a raucous atmosphere in there but it was flatter then teenage tits.
I thought they both were solid, Charron was on point as usual and Thesaurus was good aswell. I can't really say alot more than that. Because there was nothing more to it. Neither battler outperformed they were just solid. First round I'd give to Charron. Mainly because Thesaurus had a small stumble and besides that there was little to choose between them. Saurus got back on his horse in the second and the third to take the battle.
I was surprised at how it turned out. Not only was I underwhelmed by the battle as a whole but Thesaurus took it. Back in my predictions, I had Charron taking all three, but he just didn't hit the heights he has done in previous battles. I think that's partly because he hasn't faced anyone quite on the lyrical level as Thesaurus. And perhaps, Charron was exposed a little as being not as good as we all thought he was. Charron fans might say he has one eye on the chain and didn't prepare so much. If that's the case I think he f'ed up. Motherfuckers should be putting 100% in to every battle. That's how you get remembered. And feared. Pat will be looking at this with a smile.

Conceited served a full Clipse

This battle started off hot. Conceited had a really good first round with his usual clever bars, and a triple meaning on one of his legendary 'slow it down' punchlines that was off the hook. I thought he'd set himself up to take the first round. Then Clipse stepped up with some pretty solid schemes. Nothing that I thought was enough to top Con's closer. But then, he starts to freestyle and with it, totally flips Con's closer on its head with some genius shit. He also styles on him about going over the time limit to close it out, and to win the first round in epic fashion.
From there Con struggled to get back on his shit. He'd lost momentum and the crowd, after Clipse had just miraculously out done him in the first. He was alright in the second still, but when Clipse stepped up to spit his he had further punishment to dish out. He had a good angle on Conceited dick riding celebrities and another impressive freestyle toward the end. Compared with Clipse in the second, I thought Con was a little light and a bit cute with it.
The third wasn't that good from either cos Clipse had a stumble toward the end, and Con spat more light bars and continued to lose the crowd. However I'd give this round to Con. Just because he didn't stumble and therefore was more polished.
In the end that didn't matter, Con was dead in two and Clipse looks like a god damn monster these days. That first round flip was something of god status and his freestyle game is off the chain. He's on a legendary killing spree right now. Who's gonna stop him? Charron? Pffft! Bitch please.

[My Verdict 2-1 Charlie Clipse]

Tycoon Taxed

This was a nice battle but honestly I was expecting more from Tax. I've been pretty impressed with his battles so far but in this one he wan't so hot. That could be a slip in standard or the fact that Rum Nitty just made him look average. This battle was a little bit of a gun bar fest. Which Rum totally out barred him. He came with a more fiery performance too. This was a white wash.

[My Verdict 3-0 Rum Nitty]
