While Joka Jones showed flashes of a solid pen game, his delivery was too reserved to cut through the noise Eazy and his hyped-up crew were makin'.

Even after Joka called him on it, Eazy doubled down in the third, effectively using the borrowed style to secure a decisive, albeit controversial, victory.
