everyone happened years ago. The
Rex and Tez friction also has a
pretty extensive history. S**t, the
first match between Clips and Roc
seems like a lifetime ago. Props to
the URL, but most of the new fans
coming in don’t know much about
the grudges to begin with.
3PM Start time?! LOL.
F**k no! New age my ass. The event
was typical in fashion; started late
and in the end resulted in something UGLY.
Random Assholes
Numerous times during the event,
there were jeers and loud heckling
from the crowd — nothing like the
non-stop booing of past events —
but the s**t was still BAD though.
Unlawful T-Shirts
Big-T’s shirt looked like he had a
Pokemon ball at the top of a pyramid. Meanwhile, Ty Law had on a
shirt that resembled an LSD hallucination
Will The Real Big T Please Stand
Up?
Big T had a great chance to steal
the W away from B Magic during
their encounter, just like his performances against Big Kannon and
Bender. The real Big T has yet to
resurface.
The Rodney Dangerfield vs.
Barney Syndrome
No matter how consistent Cortez
is, he just can’t seem to get respect,
à la Rodney Dangerfield. No matter
how consistent Rex is, his flow is
just not as intimidating as he would
like.
They Did Cortez Dirty
Speaking of Cortez, it was not even
Rex who did him dirty. You just
have to feel BAD for Tez; this battle
was like his last stand, in my opinion. With time constraints coming
down heavy, Smack cut Tez off at
the end of all of his rounds.
Re-entry Failure
A lot was riding on Reed’s debut.
Reed not only put his name on the
line, he also put his past accomplishments and everything that
went with it. Also, the fact that
this battle was supposed to revitalize a Philly region that has in been
decline since the days of Philly
Swain. Sadly things didn’t go Reed’s
way.
THE UGLY
Leggings of a Don
John John Da Don sure did win
the war against Reed at Nome. He
also lost the war against fashion
with those tights he wore under his
shorts.
Forfeiting Magic
Magic choked in the second round
and started pacing back and forth.
He got it back, but stumbled again.
This time, giving up completely on
his second round.
Smack Vs. T-Rex
“Dont treat me like a little n***a.”
“You ain’t going to come at me like
that.”
The preceding quotes were actually
said by Rex and Smack — in front
of everyone.
A Grudge Lives
A battle is supposed to answer all
questions and settle things. “T-Rex
vs. Cortez” will undoubtedly leave
the culture with more questions
than answers. The grudge will outlive this event.
I’m Feeling A Little Ill
As soon as Will was done with
his first, he walked straight up to
Smack and reminded him about
DNA’s time limit. I died.
The Never-Ending Fued With
Time
It’s pretty clear at this point that
the URL should never throw events
that exceed five battles. The evening’s proceedings never ran on
time and the fans were in for an
UGLY incident due to the URL’s
time-management style.
8:28 PM
The exact time that the lights were
turned on and it was announced
that the NYPD shut the event
down. This meant a lot things to
me, all UGLY for the most part.
● New-age URL with the
same f**king problems from
the past
● No “Charlie Clips vs. Tay
Roc”, which is UGLY,
considering that it was the
main event and the premise
behind the whole “grudge”
concept.
● Tyler the Creator was performing @ 11:30 I’ve never
heard his music before and
won’t ever now.
● Yet another incomplete
event from URL that was
GOOD enough to make
you feel as if you’ve gotten
your money’s worth, despite
the UGLY bulls**t —
which occurred at exactly
8:28pm...
