This was a highly debatable classic where both rappers performed at a high level. While Verb's first round was widely considered the best single round of the battle, the fan consensus leans towards JC taking the second and third rounds with his consistent, intricate writing and haymakers. Verb's later rounds were criticized for being shorter, which ultimately gave JC the edge on the scorecard.
