You fanning the mic off?

- Fanning the mic off! The mic is too hot, baby!
- The mic is too hot?

Shout out to Erik B and Rakim.

- Yes, sir!
- You know what I'm saying?

- You know? Chrissy?
- What?

- What do you feel?
- I... can I be honest?

- Yeah!
- I have no idea what that song was.

- Yeah, that was...
- I never heard it!

I'm sorry,

- but the passion you had...
- That felt strategic there. That felt tactical.

It's all about the passion!

You're about to get a lot of e-mail.

I know! I know!

So, Deon, what was the thinking
behind performing Erik B and Rakim?

Oh, because, man, they were no joke!

They came... they came
for... they came to get down

and they got down and made history.

And that's what I'm here to do tonight!

Yes, sir!

Karrueche...

what'd you think about
Deon's performance?

That was not easy!

It was very fast and Deon was committed,

- so I'm... I'm gonna give you the props.
- Thank you very much!

- Appreciate it.
- You killed it.

Nice! You can head over to the VIP.

Aw, man, Karrueche
brought the claws out,

but Deon ain't taking no shorts.

This one's already epic.

Stay right there 'cause the
battle is about to get hot.

- Ooh. LSB, baby.
- It's LSB, baby.

Lip Sync Battle is back!

Deon Cole has mastered
stand-up and acting.

And now he's out to secure

an LSB championship for himself.

Can he make it a cold
world for Karrueche?

I guess it's time to find out.

I don't want to lose. I want this belt.

I need this belt.

I already carved a place
out on my wall for it.

No, I didn't!

She's my girl!

Very talented. My... my homie.

- Thank you! I love you so much!
- I know!

Anytime we're around each other,

definitely nothing but love, but...

Boo!

There's a strain today.

_

It's like we don't
know each other today,

'cause we are up against each other,

and she has to go down.

Ladies love Cool J!

They don't mess around.

This is great!

It's just a great song.

Even if I lose,

it's still gonna be a
very unique performance

that should go down in
Lip Sync Battle history.

The couch!

(bleep) that couch.

Karrueche...

was Deon a convincing
Natalie Imbruglia or what?

- What... what you think?
- Yes. I'm convinced.

I am so convinced. I'm still in shock.

When you started throwing stuff,
I was like, "What is going on?"

But you definitely got
some things off your chest.

I don't know what's going in your life,

but amen.

Amen.

That was wicked! That was amazing.

So, Deon... Deon, you
can head over to the VIP.

- Thank y'all. Peace, man.
- Wow.

Thanks, Chrissy.

No doubt.

This battle is so, so good

that now even I am torn.

I need a commercial break, please.

Absolutely. I got you, Chrissy.

When LSB returns,

we'll find out how Karrueche plans

to make sure the belt
goes home with her.

Come on back. It's Lip Sync Battle.

♪ Nothing's fine, I'm torn ♪

LSB returns and Karrueche Tran is
primed and ready to take the stage.

Let's see how she worked her magic

to bring to life an
unforgettable performance.

I come right in?

Yeah.

Let's go from the top!

I've never performed before.

So, to... to...

For me, this is really
breaking out of my shell.

It's doing something
I've never done before.

I chose this artist because I
feel like I relate to her story.

And her rise to success,

and her growth and her strength.

And she's bad-ass.

She's a bad-ass woman, and
I'm a bad-ass woman too.

So I definitely connect with
her, and I connect with the song.

Alright! Time to go to the big stage!

Let's do this!

Deon, I'm going to crush you!

The point where this
all really came together

was me being on that stage
rehearsing with the dancers,

and everybody was watching.

It was just kind of like, "Oh
man, this is really happening."

Deon, I adore you.

I admire you. You're great, but, um...

I'm gonna win. Sorry.

Lord! Have mercy!

I'm like, "That's what I do."

Look at emo Natalie over there.

So... so, Deon...

Deon, what did you feel about
Karrueche when she dropped that?

- What were you feeling?
- There is a god!

- Whoo-hoo-hoo!
- There is a god.

Oh, man! I ain't hear...

I ain't hear one lyric of that song.

It was serious.

Karrueche, you can
