Battle Rap Wednesday: Ill Will vs. Danja Zone

URL's team-up with BET turned out to be a lot better than I expected.  I'm sure this sounds like ass on cable but this is what I wish URL was all the time: you can hear the battlers clearly, the air is noticeably free of the "Don Demarco" echo, and best of all--they got the crowd to shut the fuck up.   Anyway, let's talk about this battle for a second.

 To me, the best battle of the year so far has been Ill Will vs. Johnnie Alcatraz.  Arcane vs. Dizaster involved a lot of fuckery from both opponents, Hollow vs. Tsu Surf was underwhelming, but those two Proven Ground cats went at it and gave battle rap a classic on the level of that JC vs. Chilla Jones.  So its good to see Ill Will here battling again.   Danja Zone didn't do too badly but Ill Will took that 2-1, so I'm looking forward to seeing him go up against (hopefully) Real Deal in two weeks.

Bottom of the Pile: Apr. 8, 2015

Astro City As usual, Kurt Busiek's Astro City is creatively solid--following a superhero who's made his home on an alien planet, and has to learn to accept when it's time to hand the job over to the next generation.  It's almost the opposite of what happened with Crackerjack and Quarrel.  That said: I've been a denizen of the interwebs for nearly two decades now, and this still might be a strong contender for grossest sexual advance ever.
