The MC Rap Battle Come Back
Normally one of the highlights of Jump Off, the talent in the Rap Battle appears to have taken a serious step back. The understanding of the stand off between 2 MCs as they scope each other out for things to say that the crowd will respond to is just not there. See, Challenger SNAZZ had a crazy flow and was definitely freestyling but said little in the form of Battle lyrics. When you're facing MR ROCKY, who's not just a short dude, he's a little dude whose nameplate bangs his knees, and you make no reference to his height, it's over for you. Then B TWISTED, flowd a little like the Eminem era of wannabies and dropped straight generic written. EDDIE GEE had the right idea but the wrong lyrics and nothing that hadnt been said before. It was all about the comedy of MR ROCKYs stage presence!

THE MC RAP BATTLE
"Waaaasssgoaainonn??" were the cries when 4 foot MR ROCKY stepped up out of the crowd to battle. But he breezed through to the final of the rounds to face PROFESSOR GREEN who makes his return to the Jump Off Battle stage holding the longest streak for an MC Battler yet on 6 weeks. You may remember him being torn limb from limb by CLUEDO back at JO23 in February. And this week was PGs turn to strip a rival of their almost-7 streak as he scraped past the phenomenon MR ROCKY in two heated rounds he could have easily lost. On a night where a hot, small-dude steps up using the same name as the current champ, you can see why ROCKY wasn't very happy. However, his performance was shaky and he looked a shadow of his former self. A sluggish, nervous shadow at that who failed to spit out a single punchline. I hope he doesn't bump into the ROCKY that beat SKINNYMAN 5 weeks ago coz he wont be happy with his performance at all. If MR ROCKY was rockin an Arsenal shirt and a black woolly standin with his arms crossed, i'd understand but this night was more about ROCKY losing it than PG winning it.
