The main reason i dont like this one as much as other ERBs is just because it doesnt really seem like a rap battle to me. Like, they arent exactly battling theyre pretty much just having a political discussion about slavery and then they also arent really rapping, but moreso just reading the lyrics in a monotone way. Great lyrics, beat and visuals, but peter just sounded like peter and JB smoove just didnt seem to have the right voice or rhythm. Also. usually in an ERB there is a more offensive rapper (Picasso, Lee, Washington) and either a defensive rapper (Henson, Ross) or a second offensive rapper (Wallace). When you have two defensive rappers in a battle like this one, it just seems to have a lack of energy and kind of falls flat. I loved the other two battles this season and am looking forward to the rest, but to me, this one was subpar and is hopefully the worst of the season.
