Ab-Soul vs. RiFF RAFF — The Boombox Battle

Ab-Soul RiFF RAFFThe Boombox

Ab-Soul is on a roll and has taken his third consecutive win by dominating The Boombox Battle this week. With 76.64 percent of the vote, the California rapper beat out K Camp and his song ‘Cut Her Off,’ which only received 23.36 percent of the fan vote.


‘Hunnid Stax’ is off Ab-Soul’s recently released LP, ‘These Days…’ The rapper and fellow TDE member Schoolboy Q rhyme about hustling and making as much money as possible. Kenny Beats provides the rhythm as the two hip-hop artists show off their distinct rapping styles — Ab-Soul’s staccatto approach against Schoolboy’s laid-back flow.


“Who gettin’ that dough / Who gettin’ that cake / Who gettin’ that bread / Put a ticket in your head if you can’t relate / Who gettin’ that fatty / Who gettin’ that change,” Ab-Soul spits at the top of track.


Going against the self-described “Black Lip Pastor” this week is the carefree and overtly sexual rapper RiFF RAFF and his song ’2 Girls 1 Pipe’ Remix. Featuring Emmure’s Frankie Palmeri, the song details having sex with two women in the most raunchiest of ways. The bass-heavy beat will make you want to bounce along to the DJA-produced song despite its crude lyrics.


“I like the way you speakin’, y’all should stay the whole weekend / I f—ed her, left her leakin’ / Versace mattress was squeakin’ / While I’m f—in’, you could eat it / You next, so no sleepin’ / I’m about to jump out the deep end,” he raps.


Will Ab-Soul’s money-making track take its fourth win and make him the next artist to enter The Boombox Hall of Fame? Or will fans be enticed by RiFF RAFF’s naughtiness and vote for him this week? You’ll be able to vote for your favorite once per hour until the polls shut down on Tues., July 15, at 10AM ET.
