Despite some divided fan opinions on the battle's quality, Paperwerks himself admitted to a poor performance, stating 'I did shitty in this one...props to knowshun.' Knowshun's first round concept was noted as strong, and he was generally seen as the more clever MC, even with a factual error.
This Grind Time Now clash between Knowshun and Paperwerks from way back in '09 didn't exactly set the building on fire, with many fans calling the overall battle 'wack' or 'boring.' Despite the lukewarm reception, Knowshun managed to carve out a win, largely bolstered by his first-round concept, which garnered some positive feedback.
