High Heels and Body Bags: The 2on2

The Battlers

Shooney Da Rapper

Phara Funeral

versus

Don Laydii

  Tori Doe

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.

(The Bodega gives Round 1 to Shooney and Phara Funeral) 

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.

(The Bodega gives Round 2 to Shooney and Phara Funeral)

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.

(The Bodega gives Round 3 to Shooney and Phara Funeral)

--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!

Tsunami Surf: Painting a Picture (Riding the Wave: Not Only a Battler)

When it comes to music an artist may have different ways to connect with the Masses. Whether it be connecting with Radio Friendly tunes or as we once called it 'Ringtone Music' or 'Political Views' via conscience rap. No matter how an artist connects with their fans the sign of a true emcee is the Art of Story Telling, painting a vivid picture with just WORDS...(Lyrics)When we think of this type of talent we All think about the Emcee/Battle Rap Heavyweight Tsu Surf....

 To Say Surf is just a mere Battle Rapper would be absurd. Tsunami (which Tsu is Short) is an all around Artist,which Battle Rap is just one platform that Tsu uses to connect with the public. We as fans know that most emcees that make dope music could not survive on that URL stage. We Also acknowledge that some of your favorite battlers don't have the ability to capture out attention on a beat as they do on stage. Tsu has been blessed with the Gift of being a Top Tier Battler in the Ultimate Rap League as well as being one Hell of an Emcee.

Tsunami Surf has showed us on Surfs Up as well as Surfs Up 1.5 that Battle Rap comes second to his Gift of Making Music. We at the Bodega are Major believers that  this New Jersey Representative has what is needed to take the mainstream music America by Storm. He has proven that without battle rap independently his music and videos can receive hundreds and thousands of views. And with 15,000+ downloads of his recently released mixtape (Surfs Up 1.5) within hours of its release he has shown the underground world that he is READY! Tsunami Surf is a name to remember and to look out for because he is going to be a household name and it would be ashamed to miss that WAVE!

Fans Flock to Tsu Surf's music not only because of the beats and the features, NO they flock because this Young Man was Blessed with the Gift of Painting a Picture with his Words. With the drop of his latest song release Tsunami paints a perfect picture of 'the Game' of Loyalty, Deceit, and Payback in a mere 4 minutes and 41 seconds with 'Mista Story'. Tsu Continues the story of Ty and Tony on 'Tonys Story' by MMGs own Meek Mill of Philly. Meek introduced us to Ty and Tony who are Big Money Drug Dealers in which Ty dies but in Mista Story,Tsu continues the Story with a Young Drug Runner Mista who was mentored by Tony who is fucking with his sister. Not going to go into too much detail in the storyline..the audio video is below check that shit out and let the words play in your head.

Okay, if you haven't learned by now Tsu Surf is not only a great emcee but he is at the forefront of using the battle rap platform to step into new ventures. As of 2012, Tsunami is the face of 'LRG',what other Battler can say they were endorsed by a clothing company? Don't worry I'll wait....(Looks at Watch)NONE! 'LRG' in our opinion picked the right person to represent them because Surf is not only a dope emcee and an ill battler he is most importantly a fan favorite because he is not keeps his ear to the streets but he is the streets. He is also a fan favorite because with over 100k tweets and more than 20k Followers its apparent that Surf interacts with the people who love him the most...his fans! The Approachable Tsunami has the charisma to make US #SurfClub members feel as we could just Roll-Up a doobie with him and politic. We at the Bodega salute this Young New Jersey Ridah from Newark. There is so much more to be seen by Tsunami Surf so get your sunscreen and surf boards because life's a beach and remember '1Pinky 1Thumb' #SurfsUpHoe

(We at the Bodega are looking forward to the Success of Tsunami Surf)

Fair Fight...(The Snitch Is?)

                                               Fair Fight (The Snitch Is?)

 Queen's Battle Rapper DNA, Releases a Track entitled 'Fair Fight' The Snitch...Rumors have been Circulating for awhile that there is a Snitch. Someone that tells certain bars and rounds of battles. This Happened On March 27th on The Night Of Main Events when DNA went against STL's Yung Ill. Ill went front against DNA and just so happened to say that someone that DNA is 'cool' took it upon themselves to tell Ill that DNA's second round consisted of a Audience Participation where he would ask the Crowd for a word and he would freestyle from there.
In the Battle World to tell someone another battlers rounds could possibly be the worse thing you could do because this gives people and unfair advantage.

DNA has Dropped a Fire Comeback to the SNITCH.....




And the Snitch Is .....None Other than The Bronxs Ex Battle Rapper Turn Underground Hip Hop Artist Mickey Factz.

Starface Films: The Social Network

StarFace Films Presents real life 'Social Network'.....
Starring Your Favorite Midwest Battle Rapper MidWest Miles 

We all know that behind screen names,mention names and pages on our favorite Social Networks that there lies what we at the Bodega like to call 'PC Goons' but are really just losers and haters with nothing better to do with their time but to hide behind a screen and chastise. In this short film the message clearly states that, ' You are held accountable for what you say and no matter how you think  it will not catch up to you IT WILL..and Very Soon'




Miles has Clearly been getting hated on via the Popular Social Site Twitter and it has finally gotten to a point where he can no longer handle the disrespect. Starface then tells Miles that there is a way to find Out where this 'PC Goon' is Located. With This Info Miles Makes His Way to Confront his Hater.

We at the Bodega just wanted to Show Love to Midwest Miles as well as Starface Television for Blessing Us with The Real Life Social Network...that Will get You Worked even if You are behind a Screen....Big Ups and We will keep You Updated with More Starface Productions as well as Keep You Tuned for the Drop of Miles Mixtape 'Hennessy and Ice'.



Enjoy....

                           X-Factor - versus - D.N.A
                           This is My Summer Madness Recap in Word...Not Video

When we think of Two Heavy Weights Stepping into the Ring and giving the audience a Show worth Waiting for Detroit's X- Factor and New York's DNA should come to mind when dealing in the Battle Rap World. After Hours of Waiting in Line the Anxious Crowds of Battle Rap Fanatics were Blessed with what could easily be considered the Best Battle of the Night. From a Fans point of View..The Excitement of watching these two facing each other was the Perfect Kick-Off to Summer Madness. A Night Filled with Punchlines, Metaphors and lets not forget the Card Girls was on its way with one Coin Flip and a Famous Slogan 'Your Swags Off Fag Sauce'



Round 1:
     Round 1 could be thought of The Most Evenly Matched Round of the Three to Many Viewers.For the Simple fact that Both Battlers came prepared to earn 'Body Bags'.  X came out with Impressive Punchlines against the Younger DNA, which was evident with the line 'Finally Danielson is in the Ring with Mr. Miyagi' that line alone let us know that X was secure in his position of the Older Vet ready to School his Pupil turned Competitor. X then went in to explain how DNA was his Clone and somewhat Predictable with his Bars handing Pre-Rebuttals to everything DNA could possibly say..The Highlight of this Verse by X was the Flipping of Crowd Participation that DNA did in a Previous Battle against @YungIll314 which done by DNA didnt win the crowd Over but was the perfect way for X to win this Round. 
        DNA's first Round was full of Punchlines and wordplay in which the Crowd enjoyed very Much, but with the Pre-Rebutalls that X handed him left his Round pretty much read before we got a chance to open his Battle Book. Nonetheless DNA had the Crowd when he Pointed Out that X-Factor was so Old that 'He Knew Smack when He was Slap'. With Many Good Moments in his Round1 DNA still was Outshined by the one and Only X-Factor which is the Reason I gave this Round to The Vet.

Round 2:
      I Have Heard from many people with different views that said that Round Two was kind of Boring, but I Beg to Differ on the behalf of X-Factor. Factor was more entertaining than the younger DNA in this Round, the Round gave more Cheers to The Vet with lines such as 'You Think they LIONS, they Cow-wards so my Tin Man come with Ten Cans to shoot the Brains out You Scarecrows' this Wizard of Oz reference was one of My Favorite Highlights of this Round.  DNA continuing the wordplay and punchlines like in the first round but not being able to land them with the crowd and again X-Factor Forshadowed DNAz Rhymes therefore making them a bit Corny. Being More Entertaining once Again I gave the Second Round to The Vet.

Round 3:
    All I have to say on this Third Round is 'its Priorities Nigga' Even though we have seen countless of Tooth Jokes aimed at DNA the 'its Priorities Nigga' segment has to be the most entertaining and clever way of pointing out the missing part of DNA (lol) 'I dont want to see you in a Polo Shirt or Shit if that Hole in Your Mouth still Exist..its Priorities Nigga' was Hands Down the Highlight of this WHOLE BATTLE..DNA round again was mostly on wordplay-punchlines and at this point they were  not hitting as hard as they did in the first round. But X-Factor zipped that Body Bag with lines like 'You could be in a Helicoptor with a Chopper and You still couldnt Land on X' as well as 'I Blew a Hun Your Chewing Gum..Only in the Winter-Fresh' sheeeshh!!

Both Of these Battlers came out to Catch a Body but My Verdict is X-Factor 3-0, First Round could have went to DNA but with the Pre-Rebuttals done by Factor it is Clear we will see him On the Next  Episode of the First 48...

August 24th,2011: Lets See How Long it Takes to get to 100%

Im RELOADED::::::::

   The Lenox Ave Beast is Charlie Clips 

Okayyy He's Reloaded!!! ....

With Street Bangers such as Scooby Snacks, Fully Loaded Clips, and 'Legendary' the Street Album Clips has come through every time with Impressive and well put together works of Art.Though  Many May know Him as the URL Battle Rap Heavyweight who Caught two BodyBags against Bmores Tay Roc and recently  STL's Ayeverb they may not know He is one  Hell of an Emcee. Charlie has proven himself on more than one occasion in and out of the Ring that his Bars and Metaphors are top Tier.   Even with a Slight PushBack...The Release of 'The Lenox Ave Beast' was worth the wait.

From the time you Press Play and the 'Intro' begins  you know that this is a Light a Spliff and Rock Out type of Mixtape. With bars like 'She Known as a Freak and Eat the Beef Like its Outback/Villanova Hoe my Whole team be in that Wildcat/ And When she on her Period she Keep My Head Warm/You Nasty.. Your St. John (DNA) be in that Red Storm' you know that you are in for BARS. But Clips has a Way of switching up his Flow with each track which allows us to go from Intro to Outro without touching the NEXT button . On 'Die Soon' Charlie has features from Fli Fetti and @TheRealGoodz (also a URL Battler) the three Hit the Trap with the Straps on this Track and Blend Well together. Lenox Ave, doesnt Only consist of the Hood Anthems but on tracks like 'Bottles Poppin' 'Devil in a Blue Dress' and my personal favorite 'This is Crazy' which has a Lauren Hill Sample, the ladies will definitely enjoy the softer side of
Mister Clips...Charlie aimed to please the streets with the track 'Bounce' with the beat to keep a steady head nod..Beast ends on a good note with 'Lime Light' with a snippet sample of the Notorious BIG. The Lenox Ave Beast is a Mixtape that you could ride to with the fellas or roll up a dub with your shorty...With My Two Cents I give this piece of work..an #StreetClassic Rating...

Summer Madness:: Tsu Surf versus K-Shine

              Newark New Jersey -vs- Harlem New York

URL's Summer Madness was a massive success and one of the most anticipated battles of the evening was between Harlem's K-Shine and New Jersey's Tsu Surf. These two MC's had a great performance and showed why they are considered to be some of the best in the world. WWW.URLTV.TV

Your Dollars Make Sense....Supporting the Movement...

On August 14th, 2011 seven days from the Historic SummerMadness Event at Webster Hall...in which the Battle World took over New York City, Mr. Classic @SmackWhite and the people behind http://www.urltv.tv/ @UrlTv announced that they would like the Fans of the Ultimate Rap League to send in Donations before the release of each Battle. The Reaction to this News was split down the Middle of supporting and understanding the cause to being upset that a donation was asked upon. But Riddle me this...to Everyone who calls themselves 'Fans' of this Sport when You like a Basketball Player what do you do? You buy his shoes and you buy tickets to attend their game. Correct? Ok, this is No Different.  Within the Eleven events that the @Urltv has Hosted since 2009, ALL but 2 were FREE..Yes FREE. Within anything that has to do with Money and running a business, You spend Money to Make Money. And We All Have enjoyed Our FREE Ride when it comes to this Battle World.

You have to take into Consideration that the URL is a Business a Company and within that Company there are Employees such as Security, Cameramen, Venues as well as the Battlers themselves. Its Not Like they are asking you for Hundreds of Dollars, anything is Welcomed. Just Think about it youll pay $100 to attend a Jay-Z concert so why NOT Pay to Support the Culture. The Below Video is a Detailed version of my two cents...

The Summer of Madness!!!

The Superbowl, The NBA Championship even the Royal Rumble just to name a few are  Sports Events  that Bring Thousands of Fans from Near and Far to witness The Best Players in the GAME. You'll see Thousands of Fans waiting in Line for Hours, draped in the Apparel of their favorite Team or Player. You'll see the Expression upon faces that are patiently waiting to Experience what could possibly be the Best Moment of their Lives. Now imagine that those thousands of fans, those who took trains, planes and automobiles to get to this Stadium, are NOT there to see Michael Jordan, Brett Favre or The Undertaker these fans are not at a Stadium, a Football Field or a Wrestlering Match. No, these thousands of fans are here, Webster Hall on August 7th, 2011 all for the Love of Hip Hop.

You wont find Lebron James but you will find a Charlie Clips (@CharlieClips), You wont find a Scottie Pipen but you will find a Young Miles (@MidWestMiles) . Youll find thousands of Supporters in one Hall chanting the Mottos of their Favorite not Basketball Player but Battler. Webster Hall was History in the Making from the Moment that http://www.urltv.tv/ pronounced the location to this Event. See Webster Hall is a place where Jayz, Camron,and Maino just to name a Few have performed. So for a Night devoted to nothing but Battle Rap and for this venue to be SOLD OUT...is unheard of Thus the Reason History was MADE.

I personally have been a Fan of this Culture for Many Many years and have yet to see a movement as Strong as the 'URL' ....The Night of The Main Events that Took place at Santos House earlier in 2011 set the stage for Our Favorites to #ZipEmUp (@_Kay_Shine) ...#GetthemFuckUpOuttaHere (@DNA2k10)  #SurfsUp (@Tsu_Surf) and #PutBodyBagsintoBodyBags (@TheRealTech9) ... Webster Hall was an experience that I am Glad to say I witnessed First Hand..My Swag was Definitely not Off but I did get a Chance to #FatBitchBungeeCordSnap on a Nigga (@X_Factor01) and I Must say that Night was a #Landslide (@Young_Calicoe).

We know that this Movement has Just BEGUN and We are ALL looking forward to seeing what @SmackWhite and @UrlTv have in store for Us Die Hard Fans Next...
