For the elimination challenge, Sullee insists on reading his rhymes, during which he concedes and kicks off his sneakers mid-verse. MC Serch criticizes his decision, accusing him of being "caught up in the hip-hop hype" about snitching, and throwing away the chance of a life time on a phony moral ground. After giving him a second chance, MC Serch politely dismisses Sullee from the competition. Jon Boy raps but his verses are about taking personal responsibility for the team's loss and refusing to criticize his team members. John Brown is the only one who raps about his team members' flaws. Despite Sullee quitting, Jon Boy is also eliminated for not fulfilling the challenge. Despite not going as hard as MC Serch instructed, John Brown is allowed to remain for actually following through on the challenge.
