Bunduke battled against Yoshi Vintage. After winning the toss, she went first and won the battle.
"We decided on Yoshi. Where she had the advantage was it was more calculated. She came so prepared to just chop you down, and a lot of times when you're freestyling, you're searching for the words to make the s*** rhyme. Sometimes it ain't gonna hit the same, but I definitely respect the f*** out of you for being able to do that," shared Eminem.
The next battle on Rhythm + Flow was Tia P battling against Honie Gold, which Tia P won. After that, next up was LG against Jaxs, where LG forgot a few words, after which Jaxs also slipped with a few words.

The next battle was between Sura Ali and SeeFour. While Sura Ali's performance got quite a cheer from the crowd, SeeFour's performance was also amazing. However, with better punchlines and stronger comebacks, Sura Ali won the battle.
"So. We gotta give it to Sura. But also, SeeFour, bro, you're f****** nice. So, like I said, you got all the tools in your toolkit, man. Just keep doing that s***," shared Eminem.
The last battle of the fifth episode was between Detroit Diamond and Dono. Judges, as well as the crowd, cheered for both of the performances. As a result, Eminem shared the tough decision,
