Clash Summary

FENDRY vs iiiBEREALZ took place in the PenGame Rap Battle 2025 Cold War Quarterfinals. The judges are Koji Radical, Progression, and Wiley. The stakes are high, with the winner advancing to the semi-finals. FENDRY wins the coin toss and chooses for iiiBEREALZ to go first. iiiBEREALZ opens round one with a focused attack on FENDRY’s music, name, whiteness, racial bars, girlfriend and style. He uses F-E-N to D-R-Y spelling, wet/dry wordplay, dog/euthanasia imagery, melanin/adrenaline contrast, stutter/smooth-flow wording, Nines/Henny and Ice references, and calls FENDRY a sly racist. It is a strong technical opener and the judges later agree iiiBEREALZ takes round one. FENDRY responds with a personal first round. He says iiiBEREALZ mentioned his name twice before FENDRY mentioned him, attacks his sweating, age, fatherhood, livestream behaviour, daughter, family, lack of writing, fake Blackness, psychosis, conscious/unconscious wordplay and being taken out of context. It is aggressive, but iiiBEREALZ edges the first on writing. Round two is the turning point. iiiBEREALZ brings pen/gun sound effects, consistency, fathering the younger battlers, teaching balance before Cucha’s erratic moment, listing names like PASSIVE, SEVZ, ZEN, JM and SMIL3Z, then says he was sent an old man-child. He also references being reloaded in three seconds and needing to go over the limit like Jordan. It is good, but slightly less direct. FENDRY’s second round is more targeted. He attacks iiiBEREALZ’s daughter, family, baby mother, work situation, sweating, many siblings, most famous moment, name recognition, “wisdom boy” image, deadbeat/Jehovah’s Witness wording, cake/business angle and anemic image. The judges say FENDRY is more direct, and this round pulls him level. Round three decides it. iiiBEREALZ comes back with energy, attacking FENDRY as Fletcher, saying he stole flows, used to praise iiiBEREALZ, talked about breathing work, tried to impress him, and is basic, racist and acne-ridden. He also defends his TikTok gaming, cake business and fatherhood, then moves into Mercury/Sun imagery, stolen-lyrics angles and a reload-time closer. FENDRY’s final round wins the battle. He attacks iiiBEREALZ through Fortnite, age, streaming, head shape, birth imagery, Hannibal Lecter, cannibal talk, “Why B Real?” wordplay, the “three eyes / two eyes” punch, and comparisons with JAYCEE and SMIL3Z. The “Why B Real” section becomes the biggest moment of the round and is specifically remembered in the room. The official decision goes to FENDRY, winning 2-1. iiiBEREALZ takes round one, but FENDRY takes rounds two and three. FENDRY advances to the semi-finals.

Performance Analysis

FENDRY

FENDRY wins because he adjusts after losing the first round. His second and third rounds are more direct, more personal and more effective with the judges. His first round has moments, but it is not as clean as iiiBEREALZ’s opener. He attacks iiiBEREALZ’s sweating, fatherhood, livestream behaviour and personal life, but round one still feels like iiiBEREALZ has the stronger pen. His second round is where FENDRY starts winning. He becomes more direct and starts hitting personal areas: daughter, baby mother, employment, family, sweating, famous moments, wisdom-boy image and business. The judges later say round two is close, but they edge it to FENDRY because of directness. His third round is the clearest winning round. The Fortnite/streamer angle is funny, the birth/midwife imagery is dark, and the Hannibal Lecter rebuttal works because iiiBEREALZ has used that image before. The “Why B Real?” / “three eyes, two eyes” section gives him the room moment he needs. FENDRY’s biggest strength is late-round momentum. His weakness is that he starts slower than iiiBEREALZ, but he finishes stronger.

Lyrical Themes: iiiBEREALZ’s sweating, fatherhood, daughter, baby mother, work situation, livestream/young-girl angle, fake Blackness, psychosis, conscious/unconscious, wisdom boy, cake business, Fortnite, Hannibal Lecter, Why B Real, three eyes/two eyes.

iiiBEREALZ

iiiBEREALZ starts very strong. He wins round one with a more technical and polished opener. However, the battle slips away in rounds two and three because FENDRY becomes more direct and creates the bigger moments. His first round is his best. The spelling flips around FENDRY’s name, wet/dry wordplay, dog/euthanasia imagery and racial-bar criticism all feel prepared and layered. The judges clearly respect the writing and give him the opener. His second round has good concepts but is less sharp. The pen/click-clack scheme, consistency angle, father-to-the-scene framing and name-list section are good, but FENDRY’s second feels more opponent-specific. His third round has energy and reload moments. He attacks FENDRY for stealing flows, previously praising him, being basic, being racist, and questioning his daughter/family/business angles. However, FENDRY’s final has the bigger punch with the Why B Real section, and that swings the battle. iiiBEREALZ’s biggest strength is technical writing. His weakness in this battle is that FENDRY becomes more direct and more memorable later on.

Lyrical Themes: FENDRY’s music, RIP Josh angle, FEN/DRY spelling, dog/euthanasia, melanin/adrenaline, racial bars, girlfriend, pen/gun imagery, consistency, fathering battlers, cake business, stolen flows, Mercury/Sun, lyrics getting worse.

FENDRY

Logic

"Two times you mentioned my name, that’s before I mentioned yours."

FENDRY opens by saying iiiBEREALZ had been talking about him before he ever responded.

Logic

"You said that our levels ain’t same, so why would you want to start wars?"

This is a logic flip. If iiiBEREALZ thinks they are not on the same level, why keep mentioning him?

Status

"I got my wish, now I regret yours."

FENDRY says he wanted the battle, but iiiBEREALZ should regret accepting it.

Appearance

"Old sweaty head, you’re slimy."

A direct appearance/hygiene insult.

Wordplay

This is a sweat/wipe wordplay bar. He says iiiBEREALZ can wipe sweat but cannot wipe him out.

Allegation

"Somebody tell me the reason why he’s talking to teens on a live stream."

A serious allegation-style line. It should be treated strictly as battle material, not fact.

Wordplay

"This ain’t a fire you see in a library."

This appears to be a wordplay line around “live stream”/“fire”/“library.” It frames iiiBEREALZ’s online behaviour as suspicious.

A harsh fatherhood/family angle. It is battle material.

Upbringing

"If your dad never taught you to tie your laces, please shut the fuck up."

This attacks upbringing and fatherhood. It also makes iiiBEREALZ look childish.

"Only a drip on stage, you never put ink on page."

This is one of FENDRY’s cleaner first-round writing attacks. He says iiiBEREALZ looks the part but does not write properly.

Race/Skill

"About trying to be Black — at least I’m not you trying to hide that I’m wack."

FENDRY responds to racial/cultural criticism by redirecting it into a skill critique.

Wordplay

"Conscious rapper, make you unconscious."

This is a direct conscious/unconscious wordplay bar. iiiBEREALZ’s conscious image is turned into a knockout.

Flow

"Your flow’s a whole lot of nonsense."

A flow critique. FENDRY says the technical delivery is not meaningful.

Wordplay

"You can take my words out of context, but you still get shelled like conkers."

This is one of FENDRY’s best first-round bars. Conkers are chestnuts in shells, and “shelled” means attacked.

Family

"Your daughter thinks you’re a letdown."

FENDRY opens round two by going straight at fatherhood again. It is harsh battle material.

Family

"Your family think you’re a burden."

This continues the family-pressure angle.

Wordplay

"Your baby mother said it’s not working."

This is a relationship/work wordplay line. It attacks both his family life and employment.

Name Recognition

"They hear I.B. Real, they don’t think of you."

This is a name-recognition attack. FENDRY says iiiBEREALZ’s name does not carry weight.

Contradiction

"Wisdom boy? You’re an idiot."

A simple but effective contradiction. If iiiBEREALZ is presenting wisdom, FENDRY calls him stupid.

Status

"Get smoked by the modern line easy."

This is a generation/status punch. FENDRY says the modern battlers can beat him.

Insult

"This boy is anaemic."

A body/weakness insult. Anaemia implies low energy or weakness.

Wordplay

"Come to my door like Jehovah’s Witness."

This turns a home-visit image into a punch. Jehovah’s Witnesses are known for door-knocking.

Pop Culture/Business

"Should I pick this cake or Alba like Idris?"

This references Idris Elba and iiiBEREALZ’s cake/business angle. The wording is rough, but it links baking, choice and celebrity.

Business

"You’re failing business."

A direct attack on iiiBEREALZ’s business image.

Image

"I.B. Real don’t know who he’s battling."

FENDRY opens his third by saying iiiBEREALZ has misjudged the opponent.

Dark Humor

"Or is that the image like Madeleine?"

A hygiene/spit bar. FENDRY says iiiBEREALZ spits so much he needs protection.

Age

"You don’t act your age."

A direct maturity attack.

Age/Gaming

"What the fuck are you doing on Fortnite with your fat-ass head at 4am?"

This attacks iiiBEREALZ’s streaming/gaming image and age.

Gaming

"Where are we dropping? You spawn in a coffin."

This is a Fortnite/PUBG-style gaming bar. “Where are we dropping?” becomes “you drop into death.”

Appearance/Birth

"The day you were born, the midwife was shocked."

This is a birth/appearance insult. FENDRY says even at birth something looked wrong.

Rebuttal/Pop Culture

"You said you’re Hannibal Lecter — what the fuck would you want to eat, man?"

This is one of FENDRY’s best rebuttals. iiiBEREALZ has used Hannibal Lecter imagery, and FENDRY flips it by saying nobody would want to eat him.

Name Flip

"Why B Real?"

This is the key name flip of the battle. FENDRY turns “I.B. Real” into “Why B Real?”, questioning the name itself.

Name Flip/Imagery

"I’ll take one of your three eyes out — two eyes."

This is the main haymaker in round three. It flips “I.B.” / “eye” sounds and creates a visual punch around “three eyes” becoming “two eyes.”

Name Flip

"They’re looking like Baby Rules."

This continues the name/eye flip. The room reacts because the soundplay is simple and effective.

Tournament/Emotion

"You cried when JAYCEE went over."

FENDRY references earlier Group D tension or judging moments, attacking iiiBEREALZ’s emotional reaction.

Tournament

"Me and you leaving this clash with SMIL3Z is the only thing they’ll both have in common."

This ties the battle to tournament context and other opponents. It suggests iiiBEREALZ and SMIL3Z share only defeat or elimination.

Judgement Summary

FENDRY wins by decision (2-1)

Koji Radical gives round one to iiiBEREALZ, saying he really enjoyed iiiBEREALZ’s first round. He gives rounds two and three to FENDRY, although he says round two was close and he is still not entirely sure about it. He gives FENDRY the edge because FENDRY is more direct. Progression gives the same decision: round one to iiiBEREALZ, round two as a close call but edged to FENDRY, and round three to FENDRY. Wiley says iiiBEREALZ was in control at the beginning, but sometimes being in control early does not mean you are in control at the end. He says FENDRY came through with “wickedness” and gives the battle to FENDRY. FENDRY advances to the semi-finals.
