the greatest, most respected battle of our time between 2 legends which defines what it takes to be an mc, an artist. holds projection, energy, lyricism and rebuttals and personals of a high level.
classic battle. both emcees going in hard. damn if i could I would want to see a rematch. but in the end the personals were the deciding factor and Illmac had that extra bit to get it with a W.
Wow. I will give the nod to Illmac, but TheSaurus had extremely polished schemes (thought they were better than Illmac's) and his last line... I thought that was so crazy. What a sick way to end the battle. "All I know is THAT." Man... that's so good. Maybe my favorite line of the whole battle.
My favorite battle to date hands down. They both were out for blood. I can see how some may say it was over hyped but to people who have been fans of these guys for years this was THE MAIN EVENT and it actually was climatic . The best battle yet , to me.
Epic, epic shit. Two of my favorite battlers right here. They're both known for their intricate multi-syllabic rhyme schemes and although I'm not sure this was either of their best performances it was still great. I agreed with the decision though. Illmaculate's flow is so effortless and he came with an arsenal.
Marv kept it real!! I love hearing more rounds...but GrindTime needs to apply the "gun to the head" approach when judging battles. If someone put a gun to your head and made you choose a winner....who would you choose? Too many people getting jerked in OT.
It would be nice to see them do a 2 on 2 vs whoever, it would obviously be great. But this battle defines why it hasn't? Correct me if I'm wrong, please, let's see it.
Damn I never saw Illmac taking the battle but after watching this man I would love to see Illmac against Iron Salomon sickest battle you can make at this point
Is "Marv won" that dude from those 8mile rap battle outtakes? The guy looks soo similar to the guy in the movie. plus his name is marvin o'neil or somethin like that.
NoCan in the background of Kid Kalous' interview is the best. "You a judge too? Theres like 10 of us!" *high fives* "They were like, 'what do you think?' i'm like 'i'm drunk, but i want it to go to OT"
This truly was the best battle of all time. I used to think it was DFD vs pH, but damn this was intense. The car seat joke was the best! I think Thesaurus should of won though.
This is the best battle ever. It's Like Spin The Mic '06 on Steroids due 2 the allowance of preperation.....Grind Time is Hip-Hop evolution at it's finest. Good Luck 2 Smack & Fight Clubish Battlers who seem 2 b stuck on Special Ed level of Rapping
Great battle, I actually had Thesurus edging the battle before the overtime. After the OTHERS Mac won. But Thesurus was more humble after taking g the L.
lol. Greatest battle i've ever watched in my life no exaggeration. So shocked all of them going with illmacculate. i still wasn't sure who to go with. either one wouldn't have been wrong. Though i don't get what they mean by illmacculate going personal is why he won. Thesauras did that too. Either way my opinion is it is a tie. I was shocked and stunned everyone went with illmacculate though
i mean this will all do respect... these guys need to retire for good now. this is quite simply the greatest battle ever, and what a way to be remembered. go out on top.
@DapperDan1983 What Front said, its written to create a better flow, and better personal attacks but rebuttals are still mostly freestyled unless they're psychic lol
I would give a break down of the rounds, but thesaurus definitely got bodied every round here. OT included. This was a classic battle. I will definitely remember this for a long time. Illmac definitely put alot of the nonsense about their tag team days and who the better of the two was to rest. Illmaculate got this.
i also reckon nocando would body both of them so far from what ive seen im just so curious about these tow battles dats why im starting to take more interest in there battles
Pete also pulled that jokey jokey shit on Real Deal in OT, and won... In this round, notice how the judges were mostly commenting on Illmaculate's verses. Even Nocan is like "Pete's stuff was funny and what not but..." then goes on to talk about Illmac the rest of the time. Either way, Thesaurus and Mac are some of the sickest cats I've ever heard spit it.
The 2 best battles i have ever seen are Pat Stay vs Hollahan, and of course The Saurus vs Illmaculate both friends who end up battling one another. I think the judges in both battles came up with the correct winner....So the point of my comment....LETS GET SOME MORE FRIENDS FUCKING BEEFING ! ! ! It makes great fucking battles !
Best battle ever!!!! Why does this not have 60000 views already...tell a friend bitches! Every single line was fire except for the 1st half of Thesaurus' OT and he probably woulda merc'd anyone else with it, but by that time the bar was raised so high and the jokes just didn't do it for me.
lmfao 2:12 "youre a judge too? theres like ten of us"
straight up gold.This batte will never die, if you know any of the history behind the bars you know just how insanely perfect this was
Great battle, Mac's style of taking things to a personal level and almost talking in rhyme is a natural talent...man, keep up doin your thang.
even when thesaurus "loses", he does it with total class.
Correct decision. Great sportsmanship.
Perfect example of what this is all about. Fantastic on all levels. Daps.
the greatest, most respected battle of our time between 2 legends which defines what it takes to be an mc, an artist. holds projection, energy, lyricism and rebuttals and personals of a high level.
Bwahaha at Nocando- "YOU'RE A JUDGE TOO? THERE'S LIKE 10 OF US!" *high five* at 2:12
classic battle. both emcees going in hard. damn if i could I would want to see a rematch. but in the end the personals were the deciding factor and Illmac had that extra bit to get it with a W.
There was NO comming back after that OT! Best example of "going for the KILL!"
I still feel like it was a tie.
god damn this is the best battle ive seen by illmaculate. GREAT BATTLE
I can't believe it! they made a good compilation album! Congrats boys you made it to the big leagues.
2:10 "Your a judge too? There's like 10 of us nigga!" *High five*
lol Nocando is hilarious
Wow. I will give the nod to Illmac, but TheSaurus had extremely polished schemes (thought they were better than Illmac's) and his last line... I thought that was so crazy. What a sick way to end the battle. "All I know is THAT." Man... that's so good. Maybe my favorite line of the whole battle.
very true man....all these fools are dope as hell and they all respect it....they roll with the league.
Amazing battle, so many famous battlers in the background
AWESOME , BANGING , GREATNESS..... IMPOSSIBLE TO JUDGE
Everyone that watches these videos knows that the battles are written. Thank you for pointing out something that we already know.
when kap was saying his decision i was listenong to nocan in the background
Best Battle I have witnessed on here would of loved to have seen in person Illmac is a genius.
My favorite battle to date hands down. They both were out for blood. I can see how some may say it was over hyped but to people who have been fans of these guys for years this was THE MAIN EVENT and it actually was climatic . The best battle yet , to me.
Nocando in the backround "You a judge too? There's like 10 of us nigga" hahahah!
DAAAMN ILLMACULATE, shit was amazing. really glad he won this battle,
if illmac gets some dope beats he could make some sick music.
1:28 marvwon nailed it. Personals beat general jokes any day. Saurus was very good, but illmac was excellent.
Epic, epic shit. Two of my favorite battlers right here. They're both known for their intricate multi-syllabic rhyme schemes and although I'm not sure this was either of their best performances it was still great. I agreed with the decision though. Illmaculate's flow is so effortless and he came with an arsenal.
2:15
"You're a judge too? There's like 10 of em"
* High Five
Marv kept it real!!
I love hearing more rounds...but GrindTime needs to apply the "gun to the head" approach when judging battles.
If someone put a gun to your head and made you choose a winner....who would you choose?
Too many people getting jerked in OT.
Classic battle. Type of battle that you want to see keep going. I agree with the decision.
greatest gind time battle EVER.
ENOUGH SAID.
"your a judge too?, there's like ten of us." *HIGH FIVE*
NoCanDo lmfaoooo
haha, I love Organik saying "T-Dot" at 3:52 when they're talking about the west coast. Represent! KOTD!
where can i buy his cd at
I like the way Madness broke it down at the end. Agreed with everything he said.
@LevelHeadedUser Agreed, I wasn't putting them down, just saying I miss the good old days. This is great too, just different.
never heard either of them battle, and i unbiasedly thought that Thesaurus won by a landslide.
That's prolly why you think that. Ill referred to their history a lot
"you should probably be punched in the face by your closest friend" haha funny shit, legendary battle
whats up with the dude behind illmac in the green hoodie? what is he trying to achieve?
great battle.
It would be nice to see them do a 2 on 2 vs whoever, it would obviously be great. But this battle defines why it hasn't? Correct me if I'm wrong, please, let's see it.
Seth Collingwood they've done a shit ton of 2 on 2's look up WRC06 and WRC07
Damn I never saw Illmac taking the battle but after watching this man I would love to see Illmac against Iron Salomon sickest battle you can make at this point
It was almost hard to watch... I like these two dudes rappin together. They should put out a album
Is "Marv won" that dude from
those 8mile rap battle outtakes?
The guy looks soo similar to the
guy in the movie. plus his name
is marvin o'neil or somethin like that.
NoCan in the background of Kid Kalous' interview is the best.
"You a judge too? Theres like 10 of us!" *high fives*
"They were like, 'what do you think?' i'm like 'i'm drunk, but i want it to go to OT"
top shelf... how can you even pick a winner in a battle like this... phenomonal
This battle will not be topped for a long time. Forget all the hype with Arsonal and Conceited, this battle will will live in the memory.
This truly was the best battle of all time. I used to think it was DFD vs pH, but damn this was intense. The car seat joke was the best! I think Thesaurus should of won though.
HAHA
your a judge too?...theres like ten of us!"
*high five*
"If you need help spelling that then go home and colour." Got to be my favourite line lol.
This was like watching two brother's fist fight, Sick fuckin battle, Illmac was going for the neck, Thesaurus was sick as always
whats that song at the end by illmac?
who much they making man??
like how much per battle and do you get paid more if you win??
Does Kap Kallous come with subtitles, can hear everyone else over him
This is the best battle ever. It's Like Spin The Mic '06 on Steroids due 2 the allowance of preperation.....Grind Time is Hip-Hop evolution at it's finest. Good Luck 2 Smack & Fight Clubish Battlers who seem 2 b stuck on Special Ed level of Rapping
Great battle, I actually had Thesurus edging the battle before the overtime. After the OTHERS Mac won. But Thesurus was more humble after taking g the L.
What's next?
Conceited VS Thesaurus?
Dizaster VS.Madness?
Dumbfounded Vs Dirtbag Dan?
the guy behind illmaculate in the green hoody at the end hahahahhahahahahahah
amazing battle..
Regardless what anyone is saying, sickest battle ever, Definitly a Legendary battle amongst Legends.
AYYY I saw dumbfoundead, PH, tantrum and other rappers in the background.
does anyone know what eurgh was on about with the sarcasm, lush and judging
Best fuckin battle ever. I honestly believe no battle rappers will ever be able to top this.
They both killed it, but illmac got it!
NOCANDO: "you a judge too? There's like ten of us!" lol
lol i left work early to watch this battle.....hmmm and i think it was worth it......great battle
For me illmac won in 3 and won the OT as well. But it was one of the best battles Ive heard in a long time.
The guy in the green hoodie straddling Illmaculate makes me LoL
lol. Greatest battle i've ever watched in my life no exaggeration. So shocked all of them going with illmacculate. i still wasn't sure who to go with. either one wouldn't have been wrong. Though i don't get what they mean by illmacculate going personal is why he won. Thesauras did that too. Either way my opinion is it is a tie. I was shocked and stunned everyone went with illmacculate though
I don't think so. He still continues the interview for another two minutes after that.
i never liked illmaculate that much, but dam he just bodied what i would consider to be one of the top 3 battle artists alive today.
i mean this will all do respect... these guys need to retire for good now. this is quite simply the greatest battle ever, and what a way to be remembered. go out on top.
great battle, helped that illmaculate knew thesaurus really well, so he got to give a lot of low blows, imo illmaculate is very lucky because of that.
LOL 2:12 - 2:27 fuckin nocando ahah that shit was funny.. "nigga you a jidge too? thers like ten of us *high five*"
What was that "you should probably get punched in the face by your closest friend" line about?
i feel like i have a hangover after all the reactions this battle made me do
@DapperDan1983 What Front said, its written to create a better flow, and better personal attacks but rebuttals are still mostly freestyled unless they're psychic lol
grudge match all the way .. when is the next nocan battle?
@ChivuhzTV that still cracks me up. plus in part 2 where marvwon says "you weren't even on camera".
how much money was the prize?
@PatrickderPaumeister wats a fob?
who did Illmaculate lose to before hand?
Very good battle. There have been at least 2 battles better since though, and at least 1 on K.O.T.D.
I would give a break down of the rounds, but thesaurus definitely got bodied every round here. OT included. This was a classic battle. I will definitely remember this for a long time. Illmac definitely put alot of the nonsense about their tag team days and who the better of the two was to rest. Illmaculate got this.
lol 2:11 nocando "You a judge too?? theres like 10 of us !!!!"
i also reckon nocando would body both of them so far from what ive seen im just so curious about these tow battles dats why im starting to take more interest in there battles
god damn i wish i could see the saurus or illmaculate battle dzk or warbux. thats the ultimate test for sure
haha didnt notice that. Plus when marvone is speaking you see his little head pop up "he's lying!"
Nice interupting by nocan :D
Best Battle Ever!!!!!!!!
Pete also pulled that jokey jokey shit on Real Deal in OT, and won... In this round, notice how the judges were mostly commenting on Illmaculate's verses. Even Nocan is like "Pete's stuff was funny and what not but..." then goes on to talk about Illmac the rest of the time. Either way, Thesaurus and Mac are some of the sickest cats I've ever heard spit it.
in any kind of close compitition i think rap battles are the hardest to judge .....it differs with every viewer
The 2 best battles i have ever seen are Pat Stay vs Hollahan, and of course The Saurus vs Illmaculate both friends who end up battling one another. I think the judges in both battles came up with the correct winner....So the point of my comment....LETS GET SOME MORE FRIENDS FUCKING BEEFING ! ! ! It makes great fucking battles !
3:04 at the left of Eurgh that is a black version of the guy that acted in Dear John : )
damn didnt know Illmac had a boyfriend, i wouldnt be letting some dude have his arm around me, especially in an interview, lol.
Youre insecure wit your sexuality
Illmac's 3rd verse killed it. Personals killed it..
yeah i was the same as intuition...i thought The saurus had each round after he was done. I didnt think Illmac could top it but he did.
best battle ever!
The interviewer reminds me of that geek in the wheelchair in scary movie 2 bahaha
@DapperDan1983 GrindTimeNow is a written-acapella league.
David Cross with the interview.
That's Dumbfoundead at 2:33 right?
Best battle ever!!!! Why does this not have 60000 views already...tell a friend bitches!
Every single line was fire except for the 1st half of Thesaurus' OT and he probably woulda merc'd anyone else with it, but by that time the bar was raised so high and the jokes just didn't do it for me.
