Queen of the Ring: Watch the Throne: High Heels and Body Bags: The 2on2



High Heels and Body Bags: The 2on2

The Battlers


versus



The Streets of Brooklyn on Feb 4th were literally in the words of Brownsville's M.O.P 'Cold as Ice' but that didn't stop the hundreds of battle seekers from all boroughs as well as different states to catch the nights events, sponsored by the #1 and thee only ALL FEMALE Battle League 'Queen of the Ring' watch the Throne was the highly anticipated event in which the Queens came to put on a show and a show they did put On. Many of the Leagues Top Tier battlers were on display such as Raine, Ms. Hustle, and QB the Black Diamond, but also ready to show,prove, and mark their territory in the Ring were the newcomers D-Hall,Star Smiles,Royal Honey, Ms. Murk and 40 Barrs. On this Cold Brooklyn Evening the Ladies Owned the Night. But the Buzz of all these battles the Battle that had everyone on the edge of their seats was the infamous Two On Two..........

First Round

No one would have thought that Shooney and Phara would have ended up as a tag team after the two squared off to what has been said to be one of the most intense female battles EVER.
With their Differences aside the two paired up to compete in the Worlds First Ever All Female 2on2. Shooney from Mt. Vernon and Phara from the Bronx attacked their opponents Tori and Don from the beginning. Shooney started Round1 with demanding that they went first and telling Vague that a Coin Toss was Unnecessary!

With the First few bars You knew that Shooney and Phara was not taking this lightly and took this serious, lyrical homicide. Even though it may seem that Mz Funeral came a little harder and had more Bars in this Round, Shooney held her Own when she exposed how Tori and Don fuck with battle rappers and don't even know their Government Names.

The Back and Forth,Bar for Bar style that Shooney and Phara was reminiscent of Old School Styles and Jada. The Energy that they brought to the room was Bananas, the finishing of each others sentences and the unison bars was my favorite from the both of these two ladies. The Fact that Phara took it to the streets with her swag and they way she approached both Tori and Don Laydii was Magnificent!




Tori and Don choose to go a different route with the Two on Two battle. Some may say that is was a good idea but others would have liked to see the back and forth format like classic two on twos of the past. With Don Lady going first she showed even in a two on two that she could hold her own. The More Witty performance of the Night Don kept Us entertained with bars and jokes of what she thought Phara and Shooney Looked like 'Meg and Peter Griffin' of the Famed Cartoon Family Guy.
The Only short comings of this whole battle for Don and Tori was the fact that with a Strong Team Performance coming from Shooney and Phara it was hard to hold the ground doing individual sets.


Round 2


Shooney and Phara came out the same way they did in Round One in Round Two...SWINGING!
You cant help but love the Disrespectful tactics of Shooney telling Tori that she goes to the Chop Shop and called her 'Brenda' of Tupac fame for aborting her unborn child needless to say the personals where flying in the air. From Charlie Clips,Goodz the Animal,K-Shine,Tsu Surf and X-Factor the name drops and accusations of who these ladies where romantic with added fuel to this lyrical fire.

Up for Round Two was Tori Doe, the youngest in this All Female League that can keep up with the best of them with her Swag, Performance and Bars. The Only downfall of Tori Doe is that she talks a lot during the rounds which is Battle Rap Rule Number One...No Talking when the other person is spitting not only is it disrespectful but it can sometimes mess up the other emcees thought process.
Doe gets points from not backing down to the two veterans in the ring as she approaches them as if she stood 6 foot 2! Even though she also came out swinging the lack of the performance and the two on two factor is the reason that this Second Round was also Given to Shoon & Phara.


Round 3

Tori and Don decided that they were gonna split this round and in retrospect pulled round one and two together. Style they didn't have the back and forth style of Shoon and Phara but still the Performance and Bars they had kept them in the race. Out of the Three Rounds this was the most entertaining with tactics such as Don lifting Tori up to be on Shooney level and Tori shedding light on the fact that certain things should not be said in a battle (Tori had an abortion and it was used against her in this battle) Round three if there could be a tie would be a tie. Lets not Count Shooney and Phara out as in their other two rounds they did GREAT team work,they honestly looked like a Rap Group signed with the illest Label. From Shoon and Pharacomparsion  and the use of the Male URL battlers. Again in this round Tori Doe continued to talk during the round,in order to be a real Top Tier Battler you are going to have to take the bars (lies or not). Don Ladyii held her own in the third round not too lyrical but her performance was on point. Tori's swag in the this 3rd round was one of the best,she knew  that the crowd was feeling her and most importantly she was feeling herself. All in all this two on two battle was one for the record books. All Four of these Femcees have earned their position in the Ring and they are truly sitting on the Throne.


--Even though we believe with the combination of Bars,Performance,Team Work,and Crowd Reactions is the reason we gave this battle to Shooney Da Rapper and Phara Funeral (3-0).

--But Cant Deny that Tori Doe and Don Ladyii brought the heat and showed that they could keep up with the best of them.

Good Battle Ladies!
