Young B The Future vs. T2Good

Who: Young B The Future (Moreno Valley, CA) vs. T2Good (Phoenix, AR)

Where: GZ Battles' Day 1 event at King of the Dot's Battle of Los Angeles 5

When: June 27, 2014

Why you should watch it: Despite the poor audio and lighting, this battle has some standout moments from both emcees in the first two rounds.

But with his controversial third (which starts around the 15-minute mark), Young B gets everyone rolling by calling out KOTD hosts Aspect One and Lush One for not booking him bigger battles. The roasting session goes on for almost five awkward minutes (seven if you count the time it takes to get the crowd under control again).

In our interview with Aspect One after this event, he shared his thoughts on being targeted by Young B:

I love Young B. That’s the little homie. I felt like he was a little out of bounds with that shit. To keep it a buck, after the whole battle we were talking about his situation. I guess he felt slighted that he’s not able to get bigger names. He battled Rum Nitty and now Rum Nitty’s battling O-Red and Young B is battling T2Good.

But these guys all have a chance to say no. You don’t have to say yes to battles that I’m asking you to take. If I’m asking you to take a battle, then I think the other guy is dope too … I got Young B a battle at Battle of the Bay 6, and another one against Rum Nitty in [Albuquerque league] UBR. Now he’s going in on me and Lush because he’s not on the same stage as Rum Nitty, but really he hasn’t been as effective as Rum.

After the battle, Young B asked me to put him against one of these West Coast guys so I called up The Saurus and asked him if he wanted to battle him. He was like ‘Yo who the fuck is Young B?’

For him to come out with a bunch of crazy ass bars about feeling slighted, I was like: ‘No doubt. If that’s how you gotta get down for shock value to get people paying attention.’ It’s all love. It’s battle rap. I’m not gonna trip.
