[RULE]

Illo, you just defeated one of the strongest tourney entrants in round two. What are your thoughts on the battle?

Knowing the strength of my opponent helped me get into that different mindset ..or killer instinct that i had to bring out in order to take care of business. I dont have a choice in dropping anything less than some heavy bars... i learned not to take anyone lightly anymore. Hats off to grizz for puttin in that work..no pun intended..lol

Lol, which battle besides your own, impressed you this round?

I would have to say the dissizit battle and man down had a good showing..

Speaking of which, thats a tough 3rd round clash you have ahead of you. Do you feel confident you can keep the standard of your bars high for another 4 battles?

The gc is a marathon of battles..and doin all those 32's has mentally prepared me to drop alot of bars at any given time...so yeah im pretty confident.. i have no choice but to take on whats thrown at me..

Does anyone stand out on the bottom bracket as a probable finalist you'd face?

Im not gonna rule out anyone from that side because at any given battle one might prevail over the other. Due to rust or other circumstances.. At face value ask would be the obvious choice.but hes had a bye these last two rounds while the others been puttin in alot of work so rust may level the playing field to that extent..

Finally, any words for MAN DOWN ahead of your third round clash?

Go to sleep ,craig....just go to sleep...

Illo, fresh off of his big second round victory over Grizzy is confident. There is no doubt that he is the one to beat this year. Time will tell if Illokwent can become the next big thing on Letsbeef.




Punk, whats your thoughts on your battle from round 2?

idk i think my verse got slept on a bit. I tried a different approach last round and i feel like that verse beat a lot of my previous writtens. I didn't kill ET like i wanted to but he still got bodied and that's all that matters wit his round 2 ass. PS:Stop inboxing me about how you should've won X)

Kids lol. What battle impressed you this round?

None tbh but there was a few good ones. Lockhart bodying Dys was pretty cool. MAN DOWN's always a good read so his battle was pretty nice.. AND I'd like to let a few dudes know (Black Book/Dissizit) that they really need to step it up next round. They're really taking these contestants lightly which can hurt them.

Which third round battles are you checkin for from a readers standpoint?

I wanna see Manhattan & WarSand snap. Some dope writers that haven't really gotten the spotlight yet. The finals is getting close and I feel like they will start putting more effort into their shit.

Can you predict the likely final at this point?

na not at all lol. By next round, it should be a bit more clear.

Finally, any words for your opponent in the upcoming round?

This being our 3rd battle, we meet in the third round, and I'm looking to be 3-0 against aggy... IMA BODY YOU!!! PS: Also.. I would like to Shout out the FTOH movement!

The power of three. Another big part of the Letsbeefinati. ItsAllAFix! #Fresh2Death.




VJ, what was the highlight of round two for you?

It's a tough one. I'd say AmBitious Flow vs AT was the best. But you also got MD vs Anarchist , even though the percentage was big, it was still a tight battle."

Anyone disappoint you with there performance this round?

Crysis was a disappoint. I was expecting a much closer battle than that but the margin of the percentage says it all. Rohaan was also a disappoint. I thought this match-up would of went down to the wire but BB did his thing."

Does anyone stand out as a likely champion to you after two rounds of action?

Illo will reach the finals easy... I think he is the favourite of winning it especially with those previous battles that he cruised through comfortably. Also Askari, he hasn't had much competition but he is a favourite for the championship. So yeah, that's my final prediction

Which round 3 battle are you looking forward to the most?

MD vs Illo. This battle is gonna be so close if they both come with their A game. Whoever wins this goes to the final as i see it, so this will be one battle i'll be looking at carefully. There's a few others like Diss vs Obey, but nothing beats the MD vs Illo battle this round

Finally, name your favourite battle of the tourney so far?

Rican vs GRizzEAT. Still disappointed in Rican slightly because i thought he could take this. But overall this was a good spar and an entertaining battle, two heavyweights hungry. They were both rusty for what they can produce but a part from that, I felt this was a favourite.

VJ, while he's left the tourney as an entrant, has still been following (and more importantly VOTING) on the battles. I think his view that Illo Vs Man Down will spawn one of the two finalists is a likely one, but time will tell as there are many battlers with the ability to change that.
