Number 23 – Ski Mask
June 9th, 2012 – Daylyt vs Rich Dollaz – King of the Dot’s Vendetta event –
Before Daylyt even begins his third round lyrically – he pulls a hat that had been sitting on his head the entire battle down… to reveal a face mask.
Then, he begins rapping –
_________________________________
I remember watching this live and being completely blown away at what was happening. Never before had I seen a battler employ a prop while simultaneously being intimidating.
While the mask was simple – it had this profound effect on Daylyt’s performance… and the overall feel of the battle went from a classic battle to almost some sort of gangster Broadway performance
Of course, Daylyt ended it with this famous and highly effective line –
______________
Number 24 – Chugging
August, 2011 – Oshea vs Po Rich – King of the Dot’s World Domination 2
Deciding who goes first in a battle is usually done through basic negotiation or coin flips.
However – When Oshea and Po Rich – two battlers known for their drinking – needed to decide who went first… they settled the matter in pretty creative manner.
Oshea finished his beer first – so he went first.
Number 25 – The Entire Catalog
2015 – Getcha vs Spider J – War Zone Battles
In probably the least known moment on this entire list – Queens battler Spider J faced off with Florida battler Getcha.
In his third round – in what was an extremely suprising, unique and creative approach – Spider J revealed that he had bought Getcha’s ENTIRE Grindtime catalog of battles… and that they were now all private.
_____________________
Many in the building for this did not realize or believe what had just happened. As BattleRap.com reported – Getcha’s view count went from 150k to 40k in a blink of an eye and all of his Grind Time battles were made private.
26 The Fake Choke – 4:00
November 2015 – 100 BULLETZ VS SOLJITSU – Dont Flop’s 7th Birthday
In the middle of his first round – 100 Bulletz chokes… or at least he appears to.
____________________ SHOW CHOKE
While seemingly reading his forgotten lyrics off of his phone – Bulletz does this.
____________ SHOW REST
Now some of you may have caught what he said at the start of that –
“But if you out smart your adversary – you don’t need a Smiff N Wessun” “Before Bullet take your cap off I’m gonna teach the kid a lesson”
Essentially what Bulletz did was took a double entendre – which generally is seen only seen lyrically – and put it into real life.
27. Goodz C Factor Earl
March 9th, 2013 – Goodz vs X Factor – Ultimate Rap League’s Unfinished Business Event
X Factor began his URL career with choking – _________________________
So, that became an angle that his opponents would use.
Goodz – took a unique approach to this angle – and called earl.
________________________________
Now considering that to “CALL EARL” is the actual phrase – this was a really interesting and creative approach. Futhermore, this wasn’t simply a few punchlines about X Factor choking – this became something completely different – and it was it was extremely well recieved.
28. Snappin and Clappin – 8:50
November 2011 – Uno Lavoz vs Lunar C, Dont Flop’s Blood in the Water 5.
Uno Lavos, already known for his unique style by this time – decides to try something different. First, he has the crowd snap along while he is rapping
_____________________
Second, he has the crowd clap along with him to do this
______________
As you can see, the crowd wasn’t even really 100% sure how to react – but it did directly engage them in the performance… the highlight being that it was in an unplanned manner – which was extremely unique at the time.
Also, this became REALLY popular
_______________ DEKAY 1835
29.The Car Ride 2655
December 2015 Math Hoffa and Cortez vs DNA and K Shine, BullPen Battle League’s Cold War Event
It’s Math Hoffa and Cortez’ third round. Math Hoffa appears alone on camera – sitting down on a chair. Ominous music begins to play, and Hoffa pretends to drive a car.
