locksmith may have had a short GT career,but I've never seen delivery and style like this in battle rap...the only person that comes close is hollow,but locksmith is just unreal.
I wish Locksmith did more than his 4 battles. Such an aggressive, attacking, direct, ruthless battling style with powerful delivery. Can u imagine Locksmith battling on Smack/URL?
Locksmith was one of my fav battlers, Jonny Storm was really only mid tier at this time, this battle should have taken place a couple years later then it would have been alot doper
The bar that killed me was locksmith was the only mc that lost to blind fury, blind fury would kill anyone in grindtime if it had to be freestyle and it was over a beat, then locksmith said jonny storm was the best in orlando which is completely false, hes dope bimut i can name a handful of mcs that are doper then storm from the ozone without even thinking about it
The Locksmith line "the real criminal with a predicate.... you shoulda kept him in conecticut" sounded almost exactly like Jada's from Animal. dope battle though
I remember watching this when it first dropped, as a fan of Locksmith; I have since been a fan of both. Lock is still dropping fire ass tracks, while Johnny is still a beast in his region. If you didn’t catch that, I gave this battle to Johnny 2-1.
This niggah ain't got shit on Lock 🤣💯yeeee I guarantee he wouldnt go to Richmond and talk like that while he there 🤣 that would be the last thing he ever did.
Holy shit, didn't disappoint! I'm leaning towards JS in 3. No one needs to exaggerate and say this guy got murdered or that got decapitated. JS edged it out! Locksmith in OT though, he got that, but not the first 3.
I watched this because I'm a New Locksmith fan, wanted to see what he can do in battle rap. he did good but yall are not being honest if y'all say he won this
+Romario Briscoe dude the way lock goes into voices and does funny spoken word shit at the start is genius. I will say out of anyone lock battled he put up the biggest fight. lock is one of the best to ever grip a mic for sure. if you haven't heard his albums check em out
Completely disagree, nothing was special about the other guys verse, not only did he sound like he was a junior battle rapper just finding his style bit he only had a few hot lines, the crowd was his crew it seemed, what was original about what he said at all ? Lock on the other hand showed way more skill in my IMHO.
Johnny has no presence at all, he spits his bars like he excited to get them out...gtfoh. Anyone who says Johnny one is a nub who has no idea what battle rap is...nice lines but no presence.
Just because the crowd cheers for one more than the other doesnt always mean that that guy was better. This battle was filmed in Florida and you can clearly hear the crowd hyping Johnny's lines up. *Lyrically*, the 1st 3 were dead even, and that's exactly what judges are for.
I can't find anything on lock and blind fury. And don't say mtv wont release just that battle because almost every battle from that tourney is posted on youtube.
lock is one of the sickest MC's in the game right now, dude is just craaazy, if ya;ll heard his wakeup show freestyles and other shit yall would know, dood is like a westcoast cannibus, battle rap is just one of the things he does, dude is raw n straight murdered this fool
Locksmith is one of the dopest... But he came a little lite in this battle. Thumbs up if you wanna see Locksmith vs. Hollow Da Don! On a side note... Jonny got this! And not to take anything away from Storm... But when did he stop getting top tier battles? Was it when he took the L to Sahtyre?
lock had no filler lines,thats why hes dope.
He just fills his section with real bars. No filler needed.
locksmith may have had a short GT career,but I've never seen delivery and style like this in battle rap...the only person that comes close is hollow,but locksmith is just unreal.
Johnny should have never battled lock,the first round automatically killed Johnny
Ur dick riding hard
I'd love to see Locksmith battle Pat Stay. They both have similar styles and are very comfortable and confident with their approach.
Damn! Jonny almost dropped the ball at 4:09 Look at Lock's reaction... lol
I wish Locksmith did more than his 4 battles. Such an aggressive, attacking, direct, ruthless battling style with powerful delivery. Can u imagine Locksmith battling on Smack/URL?
i got love for hip hop .. i honestly like locksmith much better. he spits without thinkin too much about it. youre my number one lock!
The look on Locks face when Jonny screwed up at 4.07 is priceless lol
Locksmiths the best newschool mc in the game.
daryl boughner new? he's been rapping forever.
daryl boughner bahahahha fuck outta here you goon lock been around for years
To me if he been rapping since after the 90's he is new school to me.
hahahah whatever dreamer
So your saying he is old school??? C'MON MAN REALLY???
lock smith is talented!!! "you dont wanna rap, you wanna valet park"
That crowd so damn bias 😂
Its Florida, Storm’s from Orlando so obviously.
Seen this for the first time, I still can't get passed the first round it's on repeat
Locksmith was one of my fav battlers, Jonny Storm was really only mid tier at this time, this battle should have taken place a couple years later then it would have been alot doper
The bar that killed me was locksmith was the only mc that lost to blind fury, blind fury would kill anyone in grindtime if it had to be freestyle and it was over a beat, then locksmith said jonny storm was the best in orlando which is completely false, hes dope bimut i can name a handful of mcs that are doper then storm from the ozone without even thinking about it
The funniest part about that is Locksmith never even battled Blind Fury…Storm just got his battle rappers confused🤣
The Locksmith line "the real criminal with a predicate.... you shoulda kept him in conecticut" sounded almost exactly like Jada's from Animal.
dope battle though
but its hows how much about cali storm knows for saying he never herd of richmond. they had the highest murda rate in cali not to long ago
"Wearing his golden robe and purple socks" best punchline in this whole battle LOL
Jonny had a strong round 2, but easily 3-0 to Lock, imo
thanx 4 the support make sure u subscribe to the page and log on iamlock.com
lock got the flow and bars johnny sounds whiny af
One of the best cards in early internet battle rap years
Locksmith is just another level
I remember watching this when it first dropped, as a fan of Locksmith; I have since been a fan of both. Lock is still dropping fire ass tracks, while Johnny is still a beast in his region. If you didn’t catch that, I gave this battle to Johnny 2-1.
Remember when battles started at 0:48 instead of 3:30?
incredible battle. grind time has the best stable of battle rappers out. Every one of these dudes has talent
Locksmith Killed it by far no retreat no surrender. He's always on point. Best MC alive. Eminem, Jay-Z, Biggie, Nas, and now yours truly Da Locksmith
How are you Locksmith, yet you can open doors for yourself... That was hard
Seemed like a man vs a child. Jonny seemed like simple jack. So simple
I like how he paid tribute to Iron Solomon with the opening lines. (Iron Solomon vs Jin)
Dey need to do a Grind Time (the best) Vs Fight Club (da Best)
Locksmith- Rare Form. Its a solid track.
0:04 “It’s like a like a like a like a dorito”
lmfao look at locks face at 4:08 wen storm slips, priceless
This niggah ain't got shit on Lock 🤣💯yeeee I guarantee he wouldnt go to Richmond and talk like that while he there 🤣 that would be the last thing he ever did.
Holy shit, didn't disappoint! I'm leaning towards JS in 3. No one needs to exaggerate and say this guy got murdered or that got decapitated. JS edged it out!
Locksmith in OT though, he got that, but not the first 3.
*Sigh* I miss Grind Time...
js had the best one bye turning it into a metaphore, how many sombrero and chips lines u heard? real creative.
Johnny = passionate mc with dreads lol?
that's what I thought! thought I was the only one lol I wonder if this is him back in the day
Cruz SageZ yea that is passionate mc before he was reppin r.i. and grind mode
Is it really Passionate MC????
Those are braids. Not dreads.
it's funny seeing people just now getting into Locksmith commenting on these old battles
Locksmith won.
whats the name of the intro song? if it has a name.. i know its the ozone thing but is it a full song? lemme know
I watched this because I'm a New Locksmith fan, wanted to see what he can do in battle rap. he did good but yall are not being honest if y'all say he won this
Fucking thank you man. Was starting to lose faith in everyone here
+Romario Briscoe dude the way lock goes into voices and does funny spoken word shit at the start is genius. I will say out of anyone lock battled he put up the biggest fight. lock is one of the best to ever grip a mic for sure. if you haven't heard his albums check em out
he only had 4 battles n how r u just a fan in 2016 it been years
Completely disagree, nothing was special about the other guys verse, not only did he sound like he was a junior battle rapper just finding his style bit he only had a few hot lines, the crowd was his crew it seemed, what was original about what he said at all ? Lock on the other hand showed way more skill in my IMHO.
fuck yeah man johnny storm was niiiice.
what did he say about blind fury? fury is dope now, did lock battle him?
Lock destroyed this clown!!!!
Is this the same Locksmith that just dropped an album with Apollo Brown?
Yeah he even battled on MTV back in 03 or 04.
Lock ate him up the crowd was getting loud with everything storm was saying
whats the intro song for grind time called?
Is it actually passionate mc?
No.. but i thought it was...passionate is way younger
Wait...mabey not
true

+XxAnonymousBeastxX there's a reason locksmith said 'who the fuck's blind fury?'
Lock won the first two rounds but storm had him the last round

LOCKSMITH KILLED HIM

Johnny has no presence at all, he spits his bars like he excited to get them out...gtfoh. Anyone who says Johnny one is a nub who has no idea what battle rap is...nice lines but no presence.
I think he's solid but to each his own.

Grizzlemania was an epic event

locksmith all the way, guys like him are the reason i loved hio hop the first time
Just because the crowd cheers for one more than the other doesnt always mean that that guy was better. This battle was filmed in Florida and you can clearly hear the crowd hyping Johnny's lines up. *Lyrically*, the 1st 3 were dead even, and that's exactly what judges are for.
im a new fan of lock but he got rocked on that last verse!
whats the name of jonny's intro?
I can't find anything on lock and blind fury. And don't say mtv wont release just that battle because almost every battle from that tourney is posted on youtube.

Whats the name of Jonny Storms song when they are introducing him?? Sounds dope as fuck!
Is this the same locksmith that was on the wake up show?

Dude lock is mad good!!!! I think Jonny got him on Round 2, but Jonny just finished too weak last round.
I agree, he would wipe the floor with most of their rappers
MAN GREAT BATTLE
@813birdman52 Is this Johnny Storm?
Pretty fair Match up, But he does look like Passionate MC
I thought the same thing...he sounds like him too
He looks like the Anonymous mask.
lock is one of the sickest MC's in the game right now, dude is just craaazy, if ya;ll heard his wakeup show freestyles and other shit yall would know, dood is like a westcoast cannibus, battle rap is just one of the things he does, dude is raw n straight murdered this fool
I’ve watched a lot of locksmiths battles and cams to the conclusion that no one can even come close to what locksmith brings
The first thing I´ve ever heard about Locksmith was "He´s a fuckin´ maniac". And, yes, he is.
jonny storm is the true king of FL ..this was a sick battle from both but storm proved he's the best!
They both dope!!
lmao, Locksmith's got the best presence in Grind Time I think.
i wanna c locksmith and serious jones battle
Nice Special Effects!
now that nocan is back....nocan vs. johnny would be a sick battle
sooooo what does O K stand for?
Locksmith is one of the dopest... But he came a little lite in this battle. Thumbs up if you wanna see Locksmith vs. Hollow Da Don! On a side note... Jonny got this! And not to take anything away from Storm... But when did he stop getting top tier battles? Was it when he took the L to Sahtyre?
