"It's your boy Ricochet, the newest upcoming battle rap vlogger, I'm here outside of G9 Judgement Day with Becky Balboa."

"Yes." Becky nodded, with a smile.

"You battled Banks Da Boss about 10-15 minutes ago, how'd you think you did?"

"I did great. The crowd was really receptive to me, and my material was perfect for them and for Banks. The 3rd round didn't go how I wanted it to, for obvious reasons, but the first and second went according to plan."

"Walk me through the battle real quick."

"Well, coin goes in the air, Banks grabbed it goes 'FIRST OF ALL!'"

"Haha, yeah." Ricochet nodded.

"I liked that move, that was smooth. Then she starts going, and has a good round, a couple bars that didn't hit here and there but it's a Banks round, that's to be expected. Then I went, and I just had the crowd in the palm of my hands the entire round. From my opening bars it was pretty much over in the building."

"Yeah, I have you winning the first round clear."

"There's like 300 or 400 people in that building. 3 people had Banks winning that round, and you can guess which 3." Becky said with a laugh.

"So you got the first, then the seconds starts."

"Yeah, she isn't very funny. She tried to B-Shine me to death but she's not B-Shine so it didn't work."

"I liked her second."

"The crowd thought it was funny and cute, they liked the Chick-Fil-A bar, but it was a bunch of nothing lyrically. The only reason I could even consider her winning the round was that she pre-buttaled my 2nd."

"How was she able to do that by the way?"

"She got weirdly specific information about what I was going to talk about. I think I know who gave her the info, because there's only 4 possible options on who told her. I'm not gonna reveal those right now, I'll talk to those people in private, but, that threw my entire vibe off before I even got a chance to rap my second round."

"Your second was still effective."

"Of course it was, the only reason there's any debate is because someone leaked her my shit. Without that, it's an easy 2-0, no discussion."

"So, you went into the third round feeling like you were up 2-0."

"No, I went into the third round KNOWING I was up 2-0."

"Okay, well, take me through the third, from your point of view."

"So Banks starts rapping about my life, and it's pretty boring to me at first because there's nothing I have to hide, ya know? Everything she said is something I would tell anyone, I had a bunch of charges that included armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, and being an accessory to murder, all from one alleged incident, they couldn't prove me guilty in court so they ruled me not guilty." Becky shrugged.

"So that part didn't bother you?"

"Why would it? It's public knowledge, anyone that actually cares about me knows that information. I was in jail for 9 god damn months, it'd be pretty hard to hide that. American fans may not know but Free Becky was an entire movement in the UK battle scene, people were saying it in songs, in their battles, they had hats and shirts, all that. The part that bothered me was the bars about my brother. My brother died a year and a half ago, and that's still a sensitive subject for me, you know? I just... that was my best friend, and I felt like a protector over him, so since I wasn't able to protect him when he got killed it just really fucked me up in the head and I don't think I'll ever really get over it."

"Understandably, Banks' bars really struck a cord."

"It took me out of the battle. I didn't want to rap anymore at that point, I wanted to fight. When the battle drops, if they leave the audio in, you can hear JTG saying 'The battle! The battle!' and I said 'fuck the battle!', the battle was over for me. By the time it was my turn to rap, I was so mad that I couldn't even get through my material, or actually even get INTO my material, because it was to the point where it was like... how much longer can I stand on this stage and look at this girl without punching her in the mouth? Ya know?"

"Do you feel like you set the tone for her third with your second round?"

"What do you mean?" Becky asked, confused.

"Do you feel like you created a situation where it was like 'anything goes' once you started talking about Banks' parents and all that?"

"I understand her going personal because I went personal, but dead is a different thing to me. You can talk about my parents, cousins, uncles, aunts, I don't care, because at the end of the day, Banks can still hug her Mom or Dad. She can still see them whenever she wants to. I can't even tell my brother 'hey, look at what this dumb battle rapper said about you' and laugh about it with him. He's gone. If you want to mock my dead brother, do it behind some troll account online, because otherwise, it's not gonna end well, rap battle or not."

"Personal feelings aside, do you feel like you could've beat Banks 3rd round?"

"I really don't even know what she said after a certain point. When she was doing the whole 'your brother died because of you' bit I kinda checked out mentally, everything after that was kinda a blur."

"Who do you want in your next battle?"

"Haven't even thought about that yet, um... I don't know, Shenom threw a couple shots, maybe her, I think that's too easy though." Becky smiled.

"Too easy?" Ricochet asked, laughing a bit.

"Shenom is like Banks but more energy and less creative bars." Becky said, noticing Bayley and Sasha walking out of the venue.

"Anything else before we sign off?" Ricochet asked.

"Um... there's a couple people I'd battle, I'd battle Mella, someone else from BeanGang, one of the guys, I'm with whatever." she shrugged.

"Open challenge, issued by Becky Balboa! This is Ricochet signing off." Ricochet turned off the camera, as Becky briskly walked over to Bayley and Sasha.

"Becky, you okay?" Bayley asked.

"How'd you know about my second round?" Becky said, glaring at Sasha, ignoring Bayley.

"How'd you know about my parents?"

"I should punch you in you face right now, honestly."

Sasha simply shrugged.

"Guys! Relax!" Bayley said, standing between them.

"Did you tell her about my second?" Becky asked, turning to face Bayley.

"What!? No!"

"Shine didn't tell me." Sasha said.

"Then who did!?"

"If you tell me how you got your info on me, I'll tell you."

Becky sighed, rolling her eyes.

"I asked JTG your real name. Then I just looked you up and found your information, and that's how I found your parents names. Also, I hit up a couple people from Boston to see if they knew you, a girl named Joy told me that you moved in with B.A.D. and some guy named Eddie told me you slept with him and his friend, but I didn't find that important."

"Eddie's a liar, he TRIED to get me to sleep with him and his friend, and I-"

"I don't care. How'd you hear about my round?" Becky asked.

"Shad had a lot of bets going on our battle, so he told me that you told him and JTG that your second round was kinda diving into what I was talking about with my parents in my Shine battle."

"So Shad bet on you, then helped you!?"

"I mean, JTG probably bet on you and he helped you apparently." Sasha shrugged.

"JTG gave me your name because I asked for it. Shad called you and told you information on my fucking material, that's not the same at all."

"You couldn't beat me without personals so you went digging and it came back to bite you."

"'Couldn't beat you without personals?', bitch you lost the first round worse than the second!"

"Your first round was all gas."

"You're delusional." Becky scoffed, shaking her head, beginning to walk away.

"I came to apologize." Sasha said.

Becky stopped, and turned around.

"You came to apologize for what?"

"The freestyle about your brother. That was unnecessary and it ruined the battle."

Becky sighed a bit.

"I shouldn't have interrupted you when you brought him up, I should've waited to hear what you had to say first, I guess." she shrugged.

Sasha held her hand out and Becky shook it.

"That Sasha Grey bar was fire." Sasha chuckled.

Becky involuntarily smirked a bit.

"Thanks. The Uncle Jessie line was my favorite Becky flip I've ever heard."

Bayley smiled at them.

"JTG and Shad are putting the whole event up for people to pay to watch early before it drops on YouTube. When people buy it, they have to select which battle they wanted to see the most that made them purchase the event, and whichever battle they pick, the money they pay goes directly to the two battlers in that battle." Bayley said, as Sasha nodded, smiling at Becky.

"That's awesome! We're gonna make a large majority of that money." Becky smirked.

"Of course! We're probably about to miss Truth vs Apollo." Sasha said, heading back towards the venue.

Becky nodded, as she and Bayley followed her.

The next day, Shad and JTG sat on the set of famous hip-hop interview show, "Coach's Corner", hosted by record producer and label executive "The Coach" Jonathan Coachman.

"Last night, you guys had another G9 battle rap event, the biggest one yet."

"G9 Judgement Day, currently available for video on demand, you go on there, you can get the entire event for only $35! You go on G9 Battles dot com, and when you purchase, you must select which battle you wanted to see the most, you know? The battle that made you wanna buy the pay-per-view. Out of your 35, 15 goes to one of the battlers, 15 goes to the other battler, and 5 goes to G9." JTG said.

"Is this going to be the format for future G9 events?"

"Yes, except, we'll also be offering a live pay-per-view stream next time." Shad smiled.

"We also got a G9 Judgement Day VOD Trailer." JTG added.

"Let's play that right now, actually." Coach said, signaling to his show's producer.

The logo for G9 Judgement Day appeared on the screen.

"G9 Judgement Day, the first ever G9 Battle Rap Pay-Per-View, available for VOD purchase now! For only $35, view 6 action packed battles!" JTG's voice could be heard saying.

A graphic that read "TRUTH vs APOLLO 13" appeared on the screen.

"Truth vs Apollo 13!" Shad's voice was heard saying, as the screen went to a clip of Ron's 1st round.

"I'm really that nigga! Cap splitter! I'll take off on Apollo like Jack Swigert!"

The crowd cheered, as Apollo shrugged, unimpressed.

The screen then transitioned to a clip of Apollo's third round.

"My shooters got the cans on ya roof... yeah, I got a few good men, they gone handle the Truth!"

Apollo posed for the crowd as they cheered.

A graphic that read "BANK$ DA BO$$ vs BECKY BALBOA" appeared on the screen.

"Banks Da Boss vs Becky Balboa!" JTG's voice was heard saying, as the screen went to a clip of Sasha's 1st round.

"You in my country, on my stage, and thought I would share? Y'all drinking too much Lemonade if you thought Becky would be good here! Get it? Beyoncé? Lemonade? Becky with the good hair? And this tall blonde bitch went and joined her, I bet you would, Flair!" Sasha said, walking past Becky, standing in front of Charlotte and Bayley.

"B-Shine, I actually had respect for you... but now I'm mad at you... What y'all WWA?... Wiggers With Attitude? You-"

The crowd laughed and began to cheer as Sasha returned to her side of the stage.

"I'm Puerto Rican by the way!" Bayley yelled.

"Shut up Shine, What y'all WWA? Wiggers With Attitude? You think y'all the Beastie Girls or something? You licensed to ill?"

The crowd laughed again.

"Well with this gun? I'm Gladys Knight... I got a license to kill, for real!"

The crowd cheered again, as Becky shrugged.

"Meh." she said, still appearing unimpressed.

"For real! I'm fucking deadly! Cause my niggas in the building, and they're fucking ready! So go ahead, do something, I want you test me! It's a full house, and we'll be all over Becky like Uncle Jessie! I-"

People backstage could feel the walls shaking from the crowd's insane reaction as Tamina and Naomi grabbed Sasha's shirt, pulling her away from Becky.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Naomi yelled as the crowd continued cheering.

Becky remained poker face, despite the huge reaction from the crowd, meanwhile Bayley and Charlotte struggled not to react themselves. JTG and Shad jumped around on stage as many of the battlers on stage reached out to slap Sasha's hand.

The screen then transitioned to a clip of Becky's first round.

"I'm not done, listen!" Becky yelled.

The crowd continued to cheer before they slowly quieted down.

"Drive-by shootings, they called us the motor squad! Sometimes, we had to pull up twice, that's voter fraud! Whoa!"

The crowd reacted again as Sasha used all her willpower to keep a poker face. Naomi cringed and nodded bit in approval of the line.

"Whoa!" Becky repeated as the crowd slowly began to quiet down.

"Woah! That was cold!... But you ain't even peep how we messing with the poles! Notice how I-"

About a third of the crowd understood the line and had a bit of a delayed reaction while the rest didn't get it.

"Oh shit, the polls!" said Nia (a battler from Hawaii known as Jax), who was amongst the VIP members on stage.

More of the crowd started to understand the line and react as Becky simply waited for them to quiet down, which they did.

"Notice how I didn't do that annoying you do, right?... Where you gotta repeat every decent line you do twice?... And for some reason you always do it at the worst times... Get it? You know how-Bitch we understood it the first time!"

The crowd erupted in laughter and applause.

A graphic that read "RUSH HOUR vs X" appeared on the screen.

"Rush Hour vs X!" Shad's voice was heard saying, as the screen went to a clip of Lio's 1st round.

"Hold up! That's not the end though, you and ya men know, the clip longer and I'm finna give X ten tho! I- YEEEEEEEEEAH!" Lio yelled, as the crowd cheered.

The screen then transitioned to a clip of Xavier's second round.

"I go insane when the Larkin sparkin', I'll even nick juniors-"

"I LOST MY NOGGIN!" the crowd yelled, with Xavier.

"When the nickel load, he in danger. Slime'll hit anybody if it's over green, shit! Now da grass he buried under green too... cause I was rolling with the drake like Teennick! I-"

Xavier paused as the crowd loudly cheered for his Nickelodeon scheme.

A graphic that read "FLAIR vs BIANCA BANGZ" appeared on the screen.

"Flair vs Bianca Bangz!" JTG's voice was heard saying, as the screen went to a clip of Charlotte's 1st round.

The entire crowd cheered approvingly as Flair nodded, before walking over to Bianca

"You should be scared bitch... Especially if you think this is some Shenom vs Flair shit... They're gonna watch this footage and try to piece together what happened to you... like Blair Witch, y-"

The crowd reacted a bit.

"Go." Becky said.

"You're gonna try that played out white girl angle, despite your name sake... You know? Bianca? An Italian cognate of the word white? Lemme change pace. Pistol blow, hit ya folks, make ya frame shake! Dic-"

The crowd gave a very loud reaction as a few people on stage and a few people in the crowd did the Hit Dem Folks dance.

The screen then transitioned to a clip of Bianca's first round.

"I'll put hands on you, you get clocked, like kids in school learning to tell the time, why the FUCK... am I rapping... against Elena Delle Donne? Wh-"

The entire crowd laughed, as Charlotte turned to Becky and Bayley.

A graphic that read "nZo vs KO" appeared on the screen.

"nZo vs KO!" Shad's voice was heard saying, as the screen went to a clip of Enzo's 3rd round.

"I'm a real one, boy, I'm never fake! The 9'll make him levitate! I'm chilling with 2 phones outside Kevin's gate... WAITING FOR HIM TO COME OUT SO I CAN SEND HIM TO HEAVEN'S GATES!"

"Let's go, Zo!" Carmella yelled, as the crowd cheered.

The screen then transitioned to a clip of Kevin's first round.

"HOLD IT DOWN!" Kevin yelled, over the screaming crowd.

"Run it back!" Apollo smiled, standing in his entourage.

"Ayo! I said I don't know what they telling G. But the real reason they call her Mella D is-"

"CAUSE WHEN I GIVE MELLA D SHE SINGS MELODIES!" The crowd yelled, with Kevin.

"Bareta squeeze, Cass, if you got a problem, I'mma fold you, and this shot getting ugly for 'em, I'm hitting Zo too! I-"

The crowd went crazy for Kevin's Lonzo Ball ZO2 reference, as he took a sip of his water.

A graphic that read "SHENOM vs B-SHINE" appeared on the screen.

"Shenom vs B-Shine!" JTG's voice was heard saying, as the screen went to a clip of Ember's 1st round.

"Your face looks like... permanent seasonal depression, I'm squeezing on a weapon. Eddie Gordo, I had to sneak the TEC in. All the-"

The crowd gave a solid reaction for that bar.

"WAKE UP!" Ember yelled.

"They're awake, trust me." Bayley said, as a few people chuckled.

"Eddie Gordo, I had to sneak the TEC in. All these G9 battlers? Imma leave em sliced in sections. Ushering in a new era... nigga these are my confessions!"

The crowd gave another solid reaction.

The screen then transitioned to a clip of Bayley's first round.

"Alright y'all, round 1, it's on B-Shine!"

"You said something about Usher right? The baby 9'll clap... yeah the little jawn, I take that and rewind it back!"

The crowd erupted in cheers, giving Bayley a huge reaction for her freestyle rebuttal as everyone on stage went crazy, except Tamina, who simply nodded in approval, and Ember, who rolled her eyes.

"Chill! Chill! I didn't even start my round yet, wait!" Bayley yelled, laughing, trying to calm the crowd down.

"G9 Judgement Day! Available now!" JTG's voice could be heard saying.

"The event is looking great! I got my VOD to watch tonight. What's next for the G9 Battle League?" Coach asked.

"G9 Double Trouble." JTG smiled.

"Double Trouble?"

"Yup. A 2 on 2 card. All 2 on 2 battles, it's gonna be special." Shad nodded.

Poll: Which rappers do you think will team up for G9 Double Trouble?
