360 vs Kerser: Best Of Both Worlds
January 7th 2012 11:44
It was the battle that everyone was waiting for. Melbourne's Matt Colwell, better known as 360 going up against Kerser from Campbeltown in Sydney. The outcome of the battle was never to be known as it was not judged on the night, and both parts didn't agree with sending it overseas to be judged. Below will be a summary of how it would be judged by myself if I was judging. Remembering this is only going by footage and not being there on the night.
Round One - Kerser:
Kerser came out firing for this battle and made sure that the battle was opened very well. He was rapping well, his payouts were good and he rhymed great. There are ways I could see Round One being improved by Kerser, but if you cut it apart each into it's own, it was a great Round One by Kerser.
Round One - 360:
360 returned everything Kerser gave to him in round one plus a little bit more. Firstly 360 gave it to Greeley, and then once moving onto Kerser he pulled the crowd into the battle. It was obvious early into this that Kerser knew he had a good battle on his hands and it was going to be a tough one.
Round One - Summary:
With round one, Kerser wins it in terms of quality of rapping, but if we want to talk about the rhymes and the payouts, I give both to 360. This round could have gone either way and I can't justify passing it to either one, so I reward this round even.
Round Two - Kerser:
In Round Two, Kerser went down quite a lot in my ranks. "My dad said your dad's a faggot" was probably the highest point for Kerser in this round. Kerser bringing up 360's choke against Canadian rapper was well done, but the execution of it was very ordinary.
Round Two - 360:
360 came out big this round and he showed it right from the start. This is where 360 started to take over in the battle. Talking about how he got clean mid-tour, 360 really turned it on here.
"That just proves that up here (mind) and in here (heart) I'm a hundred times stronger than you"
That is where 360 turned the battle around and got on top of Kerser and from this point onwards, he continued to get better and better.
Round Two - Summary:
360 takes this round here, but not by a massive amount. I've seen 360 come out with a lot better but with what Kerser dished up in Round Two, it wasn't the hardest for 360 to come out on top in this round.
Round Three - Kerser:
Kerser dropped off a lot again in Round Three. "But what if you didn't know a dealer, dealer" was obviously the high point for Kerser in this round. In round three it seemed that majority of what Kerser came out with was referring to Crystal (360's girlfriend) and receiving a blowjob from her. Now if he had have put it together better and the insults were good I would give him credit for this. I felt they were all ordinary and just got old quickly.
Round Three - 360:
I think this round is one of the best rounds I have seen from 360 in a battle. He just completely threw Kerser out to dry this round.
"How can I be a sell-out when I get 10 grand a show but I still battle this faggot for free."
This sums up round three by 360, it was the round that won him the battle for me.
Round Three - Summary:
Kerser sure had some okay hits in this round, but 360 easily took this one away for me. There was pretty much no stopping 360 here and he just finished off so well and had the crowd going nuts.
So in conclusion, I feel that if it was judged 360 would take away the win.If I were the one judging I would pay Round One a tie, Round Two to 360 slightly and the final round going to 360 easily.
So there you have it. 3ree6ixty is my winner. You can decide who you feel was the winner yourselves by watching it here. Props to Grind Time Now Australia and the Laundry Bar for making it possible. Props to Flix Skateboards as a major sponsor and Dands1 for the editing.
