O.O.W presents THROWBACK FRIDAY on a MONDAY: #4 PREZ MAFIA vs AH DI BOOM
A great battle on another league it shows where the true hunger comes from. I enjoyed this battle even though its a one rounder they would still kill alot of the competition today. Even though with 1 rounds worth of material it overshadows allot of peoples 3 round rap battles. They did a great job with constancy, and left no loose ends as the battle came to a close.
O.O.W presents THROWBACK FRIDAY on a MONDAY: #5 B MAGIC vs ILL WILL
And we're back. I'm sorry I took so long but life situations in mix of other things can always be a train derail er. Besides that I wanted to post to Throwback Friday Edition this Monday. Don't worry because there are more than plently of battles that can make a list. This is one of them. Some call this the best battle of the weekend, I mean B Magic showed up to dowhat he does best and that is punch Ill Wills lights out but Ill Will is just that damn good. He showed why his performance is top tier and when he punches there is sort of a Hitman Holla effect to it. These 2 titans went head to head in a battle that will be talked about from years to come.

PROVING GROUND CLASS of 2014: WHO IS WHO?
PROVING GROUNDS 2014
WHO IS WHO????
I want to shed light on the up and comers of the 2013/2014 Class. This in my opinion is the best class of battlers to date and we all should thank Norbes for that. He has been listening to the fans, traveling all over the country to hand pick these talented individuals. I myself try to keep up with all of these guys but I can't. I have made a list of who I believed was the contenders to be official members of the class. Obviously some guys have already made it and sometime some people just don't get past one or two battles. I have a list here of all the names of the people who I believe are in the Class of 2014. please don't crucify me if you feel I left someone out just hit me up and ill add them to the list.
OFFICIAL PROVING GROUND SPITTERS OF 2014:
Ty Law
Sno
Ah Di Boom
Prez Mafia
Danny Myers
BATTLERS WHO ARE IN THE CLASS OF 2014 (PG's) (I'M NOT SURE IF THEY WILL HAVE MORE BATTLES)
Steams
KG The Poet
Ha Double
Mr. Wavy
Anubis
Jay Rell
Conya Raw
Illanoiz
D Money
D Money
Brooklyn Carter
Yung Mose
SIDE NOTE: RUM NITTY SHOULD BE ON TOP OF THIS LIST!
I hope no one takes offense to this list I made. The 4 guys that I deemed official members of the GRADUATING class of 2014 are guys that i know will continue to be booked on the URL stage. Ty law already has battle(s) booked and I believe Ah Di Boom does as well. Sno will definitely be on the URL stage again and Danny Myers and forcefully made himself and threat and there's no way he will not be on the URL stage. Prez Mafia is a well rounded rapper and I can't see him not being on the URL stage again. All these guys im sure will be battling on the URL for years to come.
The other guys i'm not to sure of. Steams is my favorite on the PG's next to Ty Law and Prez Mafia. I hope like hell he does make it and continues to kill the competition. I believe he said on twitter that he is in a PG event coming up battling Anubis. KG The Poet has a bigger buzz than the rest of the Unofficial members and he is on the UFF along with Ty Law, Sno, Ah Di Boom, Prez Mafia, Danny Myers and Ha Double. All the UFF guys should be considered official members but i left KG and Ha Double off the official list for a reason. KG battles alot on KOTD and i'm not sure if he will be a URL spitter because of this. It takes a demand from the URL audience for them to keep booking you and i'm not to sure if he is top priority for URL. Ha Double to me isn't as talked about as the Official guys. I haven't heard much of him (that doesn't mean anything) he is from New Orleans and he has a sound like B Magic w/o the punchlines. I think he has a few things to work on but its possible the URL will keep booking him and since he is on UFF his name might get bigger. Mr. Wavy is NICE! I don't know why he isn't on UFF but he is nice. He put on a great battle vs Ah Di Boom and he has a battle against Prez Mafia I've been waiting to see. I feel like him and Steams fall into the same category that they just might not have a big enough fan base or buzz as the official guys but they need to be brought back. O.O.W will campaign for Steams to have a main stage battle if it takes that! The rest of the guys I named I can't really speak on because I know little about them. Jay Rell has a big buzz and he might be on the UFF i'm not sure. He has a funny presence and his battle vs Ty Law was dope. I feel he has a good chance of being invited back on the URL. As I said I don't know much about the rest of these guys.
O.O.W will be making a article about each rapper on this list. It will be called WHO IS ___________? I will be trying to shed as much light as possible on the MC's. First off will be Ty Law and it will go from there. I am trying my absolute best I can to devote as much time to gain exposure for these MC's. That is why you may see other things posted on my site covering WWE, Sports and other miscellaneous things. It brings traffic to the site and I hope that the traffic that comes in will read a article or watch a battle of Steams or Ty Laws and maybe they'll gain a fan. I'm here to support battle rap as a movement. Hit my twitter @OppositeOfWack to speak with me.
BATTLES
5 BATTLES THAT WILL GET YOU IN TUNE WITH THE PG CLASS OF 2014:
#1 STEAMS vs AH DI BOOM (CERTIFIED CLASSIC)
This is my favorite PG battle this year and possibly my favorite period. It has the same classic feel that Qleen vs B Magic has. Steams comes with a extremely diverse lyrical style that you won't be able to understand if your not focused. Ah Di Boom is all performance but he brought his bars with him. Ah Di Boom might be the most recognized out of the PG Class but Steams showed him who he was. If I had to pick a winner I'd choose Steams 2-1 in a classic but after a battle like this i feel they both won.
#2 TY LAW vs JAY RELL
I chose this battle because I already posted Ty Law vs Sno. I felt in this battle you got the best out of both the MC's and it made for a great battle. I edge this to Ty Law but you can get a good understanding of who both MC's are.
#3 SNO vs KG THE POET
For this battle I felt it was another great showing on both sides. I edged the win to KG The Poet but on the first watch I thought Sno took it. Sno is definitely going to be a URL star.
#4 PREZ MAFIA vs D MONEY
I'll keep this short and simple. I liked this battle but I feel Prez Mafia clearly won this. D Money did his thing but Prez was a better man that night. This battle is necessary to watch to know who Prez Mafia is.
#5 CONYA RAW vs YUNG MOSE
Last but not least I put this battle up. I felt Conya Raw got the edge here but i thought it was a great overall battle. It is better than #4 but Prez Mafia's performance made the battle go up. Conya Raw is going to be a problem. He already has called out Rosenburg Raw and Raw accepted it. Lets see if it pops off!
Im closing out on this article. But before I go I will post Danny Myers vs Rum Nitty again. Rum Nitty deserves to be on the PGs but judging from his backstage interview after his Tycoon Tax battle he is staying loyal to KOTD. I am posting this battle because it shows you who Danny Myers is and it is overall a classic bout. I'll have more to come on the Proving Grounds!
HONORABLE MENTION:
DANNY MYERS vs RUM NITTY (not a URL Battle)
O.O.W presents THROWBACK FRIDAY: #1 Rum Nitty vs Danny Myers
Best battle of 2013? Yes or its a close 2nd. These 2 guys went head to head during the BOTB 6 with battles like Dizaster vs Aye Verb and the other classic Illmaculate vs Bigg K. Just like JC vs Chilla did at Sm2 this battle stole the show. There isn't a dry spot in this battle and this might be the king of the dots best battle ever. I planned on making a blog running down the top 10 GT/URL/and KOTD battles and this battle is #1. Its so left field from what you would expect coming out of KOTD but who cares. It happened there. Rum Nitty seems loyal to the KOTD brand and has since made a classic with Tycoon Tax while Danny Myers went on to URL PG's and has also put on a classic against Brixx Belvy. These 2 define hungry and this is a must watch.
O.O.W presents THROWBACK FRIDAY: #2 B Magic vs Tay Roc
Another one of my favorite battles. This battle to me has no particular clear winner just alot of bars. B Magic is the punchline king and I dont think he needs to kick Conceited's ass to prove so. Ty Law vs B Magic needs to happen. JayBlac made a great blog stating why we should all request for that match up and I'll put it underneath this battle. There is still one more battle that takes the cake this Friday and I hope whoever is on this site most likely looking at OTBVA's bootlegs takes the time out and actually watches these 5 great battles!

O.O.W presents THROWBACK FRIDAY: #3 Sno vs Ty Law
Part of the New PG Class these 2 lyrical wordsmiths went at it in what seemed to be a JC vs Chilla Jones Part 2. Ty Law is undoubtedly the next punchline king and Sno brings a different element to battle rap. Both guys are officially in the URL and look out as there both on the UFF on BET.
O.O.W presents THROWBACK FRIDAY: #4 Conceited vs Tsu Surf
This is one of my favorite battles of all time. I switch the winner each time I watch it so I feel its safe to say nobody lost. This battle took place at the failed Armageddon event. They went to another venue courtesy of Poison Pen and locked horns and the rest is history.
O.O.W presents THROWBACK FRIDAY: #5 Illmaculate vs Bigg K
For another trend on this site I will be posting up 5 battles that where in my humble opinion classic. This battle right here takes the cake. I alaso post any AngryFan Reviews or UnBias Reviews of the battle as well or anything realted to the battle.
Afterwards they made a great track together and here is the video for it. Avocado did the visuals.
And here is a ANGRYFAN Review of the battle. Enjoy!

WWE Confirms Stone Cold Steve Austin's Return At WrestleMania
The following article was just posted on WWE.com, confirming that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will be appearing at WrestleMania 30 this Sunday night:
The biggest WrestleMania in history just got a whole heck of a lot bigger, now that “Stone Cold” Steve Austin has confirmed he will be there! The WWE Hall of Famer revealed the huge news in an interview with TMZ. When pressed for what his role will be, The Texas Rattlesnake said the WWE Universe will have to tune in to WrestleMania this Sunday on WWE Network to find out.
Experience WrestleMania on WWE Network, starting with the LIVE two-hour WrestleMania Pre-Show this Sunday at 5:00 p.m. ET/2:00 p.m. PT. And, select tickets are still available to attend this year's Show of Shows in person.
Stay with WWE.com for more on this developing story.
ORIGINAL: The following is an article from TMZ.com:
Stone Cold Steve Austin just touched down in New Orleans to make an appearance Sunday at WrestleMania XXX ... but when it comes to what he'll be doing, the legendary wrestler remains tight-lipped.
Stone Cold hightailed it to N.O.L.A. this morning for the 30th anniversary of WrestleMania -- which airs live on the WWE Network -- but refused to tell a photog at the airport what role he'll play at the event.
Austin hasn't been to Mania in 3 years ... and we're guessing he didn't fly all the way across the country to NOT Stone Cold stun some jabroni.
... and that's the bottom line.

WRESTLEMANIA 30 BLOG
.jpg)
O.O.W's WRESTLEMANIA 30 PREDICTION BLOG
I intially was very disappointed that CM Punk walked out of the company. It made me lose interest in the whole event. I'm 26 and i grew up liking The Rock, Stone Cold, HBK, The Hardys, Bret Hart, HHH, and The Undertaker. I got older and i grew to like The Evolution that was Randy Orton & Batista. CM punk came in and I enjoyed him when he first had his run with the World Heavyweight Title. I am a wrestling fan period. Macho Man was before my time but I liked him as well.
Now in todays world of wrestling and there being no CM Punk I can't really say who i stand behind. I loved The Rock being there the past 3 manias. I marked out each time he showed up. I am a Daniel Bryan fan, not a crazed smark fan or a YES movement fan but I like Bryan Danielson and his in ring skills. I always liked Batista and I'm glad to see him back in the ring and I always like Randy. I might be the only person who was content with that match happening although I found it to be a underwhelming main event. I respect John Cena and I love Bray Wyatt and his whole character. The Undertaker is the God of Wrestlemania and Brock Lesnar is a favorite of mine. The build up to this years wrestlemania is satisfying and I give a majority of the credit to HHH. He has put the interest in WM30 with his heel tactics. I for one would enjoy watching him march into the main event and take the titles from Randy Orton. It doesn't make sense but its almost predictable where they are going with the whole show. I am disappointed with the usuage of The Shield in this years WM, I think they should of been doing something way bigger. But lets get into the predictions.
The Shield vs. Kane & New Age Outlaws
Why they booked The Shield like this is beyond me. Initially the talks where to have The Shield break up and have them fight each other. Maybe break Roman Reigns off and have him be a face going against a heel Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Now there going to face Kane and the New Age Outlaws. I see no absoulte reason as to why The Shield would lose this match. Kane has been playing a character I enjoy to watch as well so maybe this also gives Kane a higher profile match than the Battle Royal but still it is a odd match.
WINNERS: The Shield
Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal
(Four Superstar Additions Remain)
- Mark Henry, Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes, Sheamus, Christian, Fandango, Jinder Mahal, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Damien Sandow, Heath Slater, The Miz, Goldust, Big E, Big Show, Alberto Del Rio, Titus O’Neil, Brodus Clay, Darren Young, Justin Gabriel, R-Truth, Rey Mysterio, The Great Khali, Santino Marella, Zack Ryder, Sin Cara
Other than milking the legend of Andre The Giant on the 30th anniversary of WrestleMania, as well as providing an opportunity to get as many Superstars on the biggest show of the year for the big pay off, I'm not exactly sure why someone should care about this match. To me, it seems like a regular battle royal. You can give it whatever fancy name you want, but at the end of the day, it's a bunch of bodies in the ring at the same time, and people flying over the top rope every minute or so.
When you really sit back and look at some of the talent involved in this one, much like I mentioned with The Shield above, it's kind of a shame that at a show as big and as important as WrestleMania, this is the best WWE could come up with for some of these guys. At the same time, considering the level of some of the talent involved in this one, maybe they'll come up with some cool spots and the match will turn out to exceed expectations.
I won't spend much time going any further into this match. I would want nothing more than to watch Dolph Ziggler win but it also seems rather clear as to who will eventually take home the prize of being a winner.
WINNER: The Big Show
UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO TIME RESTRAINTS I WILL HAVE TO COMPLETE THIS BLOG TOMORROW. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT DONE BUT NEVER THE LESS I WANT TO POST WHAT I ALREADY HAVE ON HERE NOW! PLEASE ENJOY THE READ

GORILLA WARFARE presents: THE CROWN (RESULTS/SPOILERS)
Pre-Order Crown PPV: Big T vs Big Kannon / Charlie Clips vs Hitman Holla / Aye Verb vs Swave Sevah
PREDICTIONS:
GERALD McCOY FROM BUCCANEERS PREDICTIONS
T-REX PREDICTIONS
Crowd Predictions for Go-Rilla Warfare's Event
First of all shoutouts to BattleFix.com where I got a majority of the lines and results from. BattleFix.com does live updates of the battle events as they transpire!
RECAP/RESULTS
DNA vs YOUNG KANNON
I went into this battle believing that Young Kannon would come his strongest against DNA. He had no choice. For years Kannon has been this battle rapper who is better than the NuBorn's of battle rap but he doesnt seem to get the big battles. He was on a roll in 2011 all the way to his Swave Sevah battle. Once SMACK gave him Swave and Kannon dropped the ball so to speak I personally lost interest in backing him up. His performances after that where great as well. He arguably beat JC, Chilla Jones and Danja Zone after that. He had a good battle with Real Deal in the UFF as well. So this battle was the end all be all for Kannon. DNA always is a worthy opponent. I don't remember him ever being bagged in a battle except for against Pass(Passwurdz) and maybe Big T. He always does enough and although some people may feel he lost a battle he still does enough to leave even a slightest bit of doubt in some peoples minds. I wanted Kannon to win this battle and I predicted a debatable battle with Y.K 2-1. Here is a recap of what happened.
•First main card battle of the night is DNA vs YK.
•DNA up first and he’s doing his Lux flow he used in that vlog and the Jesse Rican battle.
•DNA lost some momentum towards the end of his round, left the door open.
•YK is going off in his first, he keeps this up and he’s got the round for sure.
•Amazing first so far by Kannon, he’s been on a crazy run.
•First round clearly goes to YK, second round on DNA.
•DNA’s doing alright in his second, nothing crazy.
•Going to be hard for him to win the crowd back, if he don’t pick it up.
•DNA started freestyle, taking shots at YK’s homies, the crowd got into it.
•Kannon’s going crazy in the second as well, starting to look real one sided.
•Another really strong round from Kannon, 2-0 so far.
•DNA’s third is alright so far, but it’s just not enough compared to YK’s rounds. •A lot of freestyling from DNA in the third.
•YK’s third is dope too, it’s clear he took this battle more seriously than DNA.
•They’re asking the crowd who won, everybody’s saying YK 3-0.
•Hopefully this means YK will starting getting the battles he deserves, he’s been killing it for a while.
•Strippers up for intermission.
Here is a brief recap from both MC's after the battle
ARSONAL vs YUNG ILL
This is a battle I wanted to see for awhile. Yung Ill might possibly be my favorite battle rapper and Arsonal is possibly one of the best to do it. Yung Ill called Arsonal out in a recent blog. He seemed motivated in his last 2 battles and the fact that he was asking to battle Ars made me feel as though we would have the Yung Ill we have been asking for. Arsonal always shows up to a battle with the exception of Charron and hes not stupid, he knows Ill can be the best one out of the St. Louis group. With that being said here are the results to this battle
•First round on Ill and he’s spazzing, strong start.
•This is the Ill people have been waiting for, hopefully he keeps it up.
•Dope first round from Ill, it’s on Arsonal.
•Arsonal’s starting off strong as well, this is turning out to be a great battle so far.
•Crowd’s going crazy for Ars right now, we got a battle.
•They tries stopping Ars for time, but he kept going.
•Really strong round from both, Ars is going way over the time limits.
•Yung Ill is doing a lot of jokes in the second, clowning on Ars.
•Another really strong round from Ill, he ended it kind of flat though.
•Ars is having a solid second as well, crowd is into his performance.
•“His momma blowing me, trying to get me to work, like an old Contra game” – Ars
•“He need a prescription… Ain’t got five cents to put cheese on a whopper, but he’ll feed his addiction” – Ars
•Crowd is solidly behind Ars in the second, he’s got the venue going crazy.
•Yung Ill started his third off crazy, this could end up being battle of the night.
•Ill pulled out a prop, and is using it to clown on Ars some more.
•Ill freestyled a bit at the end of his round, though.
•It’s on Ars, and he’s picking right up where he left off.
•Ars is going to end up edging this battle, he’s too polished.
•Overall, really good battle from both though.
•It’s close enough that Ill could end up winning on cam, Ars is always gonna have the live crowd.
Here is a video recap of Arsonal after the battle with Yung Ill
B MAGIC vs JC
This is one of my fantasy match-ups that I've been asking to see for years. At least since 2012. I cant even begin to fathom who I think would win or who could be better but I do know that the both of them on there A Game would make a classic battle. JC is a underrated punch-liner and Magic is a underrated lyricist. Both are known for the opposite qualities I just listed. JC clearly shows his punchline ability when he battled Charlie Clips and B Magic showed his lyricism when he went at Chilla Jones. I can't call this one I just know I need to see it.
- JC is wasting no time, you can tell he means business.
- “You got killed by Will/wheel, like Brandy was driving” – JC
- “I heard Magic was married, I mean that shit… I would say congratulations, but I seen that bitch” – JC
- It’s on Magic, and his punches are landing left and right.
- We kick in your door, poppin’ in your living room like JC” – Magic
- This battle’s definitely living up to the hype so far, crazy first from both.
- First could go either way, gotta wait for the footage.
- JC’s picking it up in his second, best JC we’ve seen in a while.
- “Like Aunt Vivian, I black out and get to lighting that bitch up” – JC
- Hard to quote bars with both dudes landing left and right, crazy battle.
- Both of them went off in the second, this battle’s shaping up to be a classic.
- JC’s third might be his best round yet.
- “You’re a Flintstone car, you had to start with defeat/da feet” – JC
- Magic comes out swinging with some haymakers to start his third.
- “Get Ty Law in order, before he become a special victim” – Magic
- Definite classic, that’ll be decided once it drops on video.
- Most people are edging the 2rd to JC, 2nd to Magic, 1st is a toss up.
- One of those battles that will come down to preference, and be debated for years.
AYE VERB vs SWAVE SEVAH
I made an article on this battle earlier. I am going to stick with what I thought about this battle prior to it happening. This is one of the last grudge matches battle rap has seen. This sort of took effect after the Charlie Clips vs Aye Verb battle. It all started with some back and forth twitter rants with Swave saying Clips beat the hell out of Verb in there battle. Verb didn't like that very much and attacked Swave along with other battlers in a song called "Fuck Ya'll"
Swave then responded to the song in a blog filmed in September of 2011. He was in a park in N.Y and basically said he wanted to take off Verbs head for saying his name on a track.
The seeds where planted and there for a couple blogs followed around this time as well
Now the battle didnt carry much hype behind it other than Swave calling Verb out on these couple of blogs. Verb didnt respond at all. The URL event called Motor City Mayhem happened where Aye Verb battled o-Red for one round and Swave was in the building. Apparently Verb agreed to battle Swave when they spoke to each other and they didn't talk about it much after that. Obviously no battle took place. I believe there was a URL Battle Rap Arena interview or something where Swave was asked about the Verb battle and this is where the hype and momentum came in place for the battle to happen.
Fans began rallying together on a campaign to get Verb to battle Swave. The majority of fans that you heard speaking about this battle where saying Verb was scared to battle Swave because of Swaves ability to break down and expose his opponents. This went on for almost 3 years. It was mainly on the URL Battle Rap Arena but never the less it seemed that the "diehard" battle rap fans wanted this battle to happen. UnBias Review Group rallied to make this happen as well. Verb told people he wasn't scared and said he just wanted his money and he'll bag him. Then there was rumors saying he was offered the money and he just said no. It went on & on. During this time we got alot of great interviews from Verb making fun of Swave and etc. Here are some of the blogs that took place around this time.
So after countless interviews, blogs, fan rants and etc the battle was booked by Gorilla Warfare. Ms. Gracie paid Verb what he wanted and finally everybody shut up and stopped with the whole "he's ducking" situation. Now in my honest opinion I like Swave and I think he goes in. He was supposed to main event versus Daylyt at Summer Madness and his bars for Daylyt impressed the shit out of me. I think he would of killed Daylyt with the shit he had and its a shame he couldn't spit it live.
Aye Verb in my opinion asides from Loaded Lux might LYRICALLY be the best battler to do this. I've seen all of his battles and I've seen a majority of Swaves battle. Honestly, I couldn't see why people thought Swave could just kill Verb. Asides from Swave not winning his top tier battles (he lost to Dizaster clearly and Head Ice)I used the Suge battle as a example of what would happen against Verb. I knew Swave was going to try and expose Verb but would it work. Hitman already did this and argubably lost. When Swave battled Suge he did win but not by much and its debatable. He tried to expose Suge and it just didn't work. Suge isn't Verb, Verb is extremely better. Now i'm not going to sit here and act as if Swave needs to 3-0 Verb in order to win. But after years of calling out Verb I expect him to win or get the fuck out of here. Did I think he would win? No. Did I think Verb would body him? No. Did I think Swave could possibly win? Sure. I thought he has been writing for 3 years so why not. But enough with this rant, lets get into the results of this grudge match.
- Next up is Verb vs Swave.
- Aye Verb’s going first, Round 1 on him.
- Verb is starting off real lyrical, crowd is rocking with him.
- “Karate only works on niggas that do karate” – Verb
- Verb’s first round was serious, it’s on Swave.
- Swave’s got some shit in his first as well, turning into a great battle so far.
- Swave lost some momentum towards the end of his round.
- Might’ve cost him the first, Round 2 on Verb.
- Aye Verb starts out the second with “It’s Showtime” and the crowd is loving it.
- This is the Verb that’s hard for anyone to beat, crazy round.
- “You from Harlem, where niggas rock glitter kicks and do shit like this..” Verb does the Harlem shake.
- Second round on Swave.
- “I’m gonna beat you with my bare hand, so I can feel your life leaving you.” – Swave
- “I’ll air a smith/Aerosmith and make These/D’s mc’s run if they walk this way” – Swave
- Swave’s getting booed and the crowd is yelling 2-0, host is telling them to let him rap.
- The crowd is not fucking with Swave at all, they just want to hear Verb’s third.
- Swave had a Philip Seymour Hoffman bar.
- Verb is preaching to him in the third.
- “Y’all knew I’d bag this shit. Battle rap is for weirdos and strange niggas, you can have this shit.” – Verb
- Verb’s third was basically explaining why he’d done with battle rap.
- Overral Verb’s third wasn’t as strong as his first two, but he may already have the battle won.
- The crowd is heckling Swave again in his third, not really giving him a chance.
- Swave has some shit here and there, but overrall the crowd’s just not into his content.
- Battle’s over, looking like a clear 3-0 for Verb in the venue.
Regardless of how this turns out on camera I have heard a couple of Swaves "excuses". I do respect that he admits he lost and gives Aye Verb his props but there is no excuse for why he wasn't prepared. This was the battle he asked for and wanted for 3 years. He had his own homies put the money up for Verb. Now you are basically saying you aren't inspired..Wow...I'm done. I think it should be safe to say Swave won't ever make it to top tier. He also had another shot earlier this year against Arsonal and as you might of guessed he had a lackluster performance there as well.
Here are both Swaves and Verbs Recaps of the battle
HITMAN HOLLA vs CHARLIE CLIPS
This was not a battle I really was anticipating to be quite honest. I loved Clips last few performances and he is a dangerous BATTLE rapper. I put emphasis behind the word battle because some rappers are extremely lyrical, some can punch hard, some scheme, some have great stage presence but Clips he just knows how to battle really well. He can freestyle at any moment and beat your writtens. He doesn't have to have the edge on you in any particular category because he just knows how to attack his opponent the right way. Against Surf he attacked Surf in a way that made Surf look like a little PG battler coming into the URL and the same goes for Conceited. I think Aye Verb is a better rapper than Clips but Clips was a better battler on that given night. Some artists are great rappers but they can't battle as good as they rap. Clips could be the best BATTLER right now. I need to see him battle Hollow Da Don for me to really make a final decision on that. Hitman is a gifted performer. One of the most popular and one of my favorites I feel he beat O-Red and his last 2 performances where really well. One thing I can say about Hitman is when he does punch, it lands twice as hard as the average battle rapper because of his stage presence and aggression. If he came to a battle with nothing but all bars then noone might be able to beat him. So this battle in reality is shaped up to be a classic but I guess I cared more about the other battles on the card. Hitman has been spouting that this is his last battle so I doubt he would show up under prepared. I still predicted Clips 2-1.
Here are the results from the battle!
- Hitman vs Clips is up next.
- Hitman won the coin toss, and said he wants to go first.
- Hitman’s starting off really strong, like usual.
- “I got a brand new Nina, this bitch ugly …which one of yall gone take one for the team.” – Hitman
- Hitman with a remix, not his best, but the crowd loved it.
- “You never put your cans up nigga, you tell jokes like a stand up, but I’m a stand up nigga” – Hitman
- Solid first from Hitman, it’s on Clips.
- “Soon as it quiet down, I’d smack that bitch and make yoour queen flip/Queenzflip in a quiet room” – Clips
- “I’d rather use a clipper that’s this small, when he get to shooting, his brother assist him… that’s Cliff Paul” – Clips
- Dope first round from both, Hitman started the second with a crazy rebuttal.
- Hitman’s on fire so far in his second, we got a battle going on.
- “I’ll turn Chicago into a Harlem night” – Hitman
- And Clips took the crowd right back to start his second, we got another classic on our hands.
- “You Danica Patrick, you just a tough bitch with a lot of drive” – Clips
- Both are having insane performances, but Clips’ punches might be landing a little harder.
- “I want to mush you, but you pussy… it’s hard to get that smell off” – Clips
- Hitman with another crazy rebuttal to start the third, this could go either way.
- “A nigga owe me 10 dollars, I need it… I’m knocking on his door with a 357, like it ain’t 4 yet” – Hitman
- “Shooting, and he ain’t opened the door yet” Hitman, continued off the line above
- Holla’s got the whole room shaking, crowd is going crazy.
- Hitman’s really going off in this third, crazy performance from him.
- People are all calling it a classic already, and the battle’s not even over.
- And Clips starts hitting right back to start his third.
- “The clip so long, Vine won’t let me make an account.” – Clips
- Clips said he got $20K to battle Hollow, straight cash.
- Battle was crazy from the start, and just kept getting better.
- Everyone’s calling it battle of the night, could go either way.
BIG T vs BIG KANNON
Now while others actually didn't seem to anticipate this particular battle I loved the idea. I for one am tired of all the bullshit unity within cities in battle rap. After the URL started people from the MidWest particularly acted as if you could not battle or have any negative feelings towards another battle rapper within your region. Now thats cool if you guys are in a group together but other than that there shouldn't be any loyalty in competitive lyricism. When Hitman vs Aye Verb happened it was excellent and my favorite battle to have taken place yet. Then Verb battled X Factor and that battle was underrated. In that battle the whole 3 rounds X factor calls Verb a snake and etc for battling 2 MidWest battlers. I always wanted to see Verb vs Big T, Hitman vs Calicoe, Yung Ill vs X-Factor, and alot of different MidWest match ups. Big Kannon is possibly the most improved battler to be doing this currently. He is also a great rapper as well.
This rift between Big Kannon and Big T started over some comments Big T made basically stating that he was the King of Chicago. Along with other comments made by Big T, I believe Kannon took offense to this. He made the record called "King Who" (it can be heard @--> http://soundcloud.com/kannon-1/king-who-big-t-tay-roc-diss )After that track Big T basically complained and there where more twitter rants. Big Kannon then challenged Big T to a battle in which Big T declined and ranted about top tier status. Big Kannon made a blog addressing everything a bringing a great perspective into the situation.
Somewhere after this the battle was locked in and it was a go. Big T dissed Kannon in the trailer for the event (skip to the last 3 minutes or so)
My predication for this battle is Big Kannon 2-1. I feel Big T will not take Kannon as serious as he should and add that to the fact that Kannon has been on a killing spree since M. Ciddy and I think you can understand my prediction. I think this battle will be a classic and I love that this is a main event. If Kannon does win it will catapult him into the level he deserves to be.
Without anymore of a delay here are the results for the Main Event!
- Main event is up next.
- Big Kannon’s going first, Round 1 on him.
- Crowd doesn’t seem to be responding to Kannon’s bars so far.
- He’s starting to pick it up a bit, took a shot at John John.
- There was some good moments in BK’s first, decent round.
- It’s on Big T.
- Big T’s clowning to start out, taking shots at Gracie too.
- “When a buck fifty put a smile on his neck, I’ll kill him with kindness.” Big T
- Just when Big T was getting going, he choked.
- Kannon just killed him with a rebuttal to start the second.
- “He said he’d be good in the ring. A legend choking in his 1st round… Look at me king! – Kannon
- Kannon’s going crazy in this second, crowd is rocking him with now.
- “I’ll fuck him up, and turn him to a button up, that’s a casual T” – Kannon
- That choke was a definite turning point, Kannon is spazzing now.
- It’s on Big T now.
- Now it’s Big T who’s not really getting a reaction from the crowd.
- “U don’t chilaka boo shit? It sounds stupid? Bow! Thats my new shit, I call it a bowel movement” – Big T
- Big T’s starting to get his momentum back, landed a couple of big punches.
- Big T did a drum sound, and said he’d Nick Cannon him.
- “Tell the fans after this battle, I can’t shake their hands… cuz I still got Kannon on my arms, like MegaMan” – Big T
- Big T said Gracie’s a fotrune cookie, she opens up and nobody wants to eat it.
- Big T did a great job turning things around, it’s Round 3 on Kannon.
- Kannon starts the third with another mean rebuttal.
- “How many lines he say playing grace, you eating cuz of her, you should be saying grace.” – Kannon
- Kannon picked up in the 3rd, right where he left off in the 2nd, another crazy round.
- Big T’s fighting back in the third, he’s making a battle out of it.
- Despite the slow start, they’ve really turned things around in the 2nd and 3rd.
- Turned into a dope battle, most seem to be edging it to Kannon.
AYE VERB BEATS SWAVE SEVAH AFTER 3 YEARS OF S**T TALKING..
March 29th in Chicago a event titled "The Crown" was held. Alot of classic battle happened that night but one particular fan requested battle took place. Aye Verb vs Swave Sevah. The outcome was not what the fans expected and ertainly not what Swave Sevah expected neither. I will have a more detailed recap of this battle along with the event in another few hours. But for a quick recap of this battle lets go straight to Swave himself.
Read these bottom to top as that was the order in which they where posted in
Read these bottom to top as that was the order in which they where posted in
But couldn't hold my focus long enough anymore. S/O to @Ayeveb he did his thing. I should've done better than I did tho.
Battle rap don't give me the same feel as it did 2 yrs ago. I thought battle would give it back and for a whole it did.
Don't think Verb got me questioning my life. NEVER!! I'm still me and gonna continue to be me.
Damn y'all niggas killing me on here. It's cool tho. I know I asked for this. It didn't go my way. I blame myself.
I just don't got that feel no more.
I lost.
