I don't have to prove my credibility to internet strangers, but I _will_ say the difference is that hip hop originated in America, and it's a lot more than just a music genre. There are sociopolitical dynamics involved that often don't make it to other countries/cultures when they adopt the music/battling component. There's a reason I used to ONLY watch KOTD, then after only a year I ditched that outlook. Long story short, most of the comments I see here prove to me that a select demographic of Aussie fans are just here to cock-gobble their hometown hero. Kers could have choked every round and these jabronies still would have given him the W. Illmac is a better, more lyrical, and more unique emcee *period*. It's easy to correlate talent directly with views & labels. So what if Kers is one of the biggest rap names in Australia? Kevin Gates is a bigger name than Aesop in America, with more views and more prestige, but he's still lyrically trash by comparison. That's the difference.
Illmac's "Curser brought his click to open for an icon" scheme was absolutely insane, especially considering how long ago this was. Criminally slept on by the crowd.
his problem is his flows are messy. he takes so long to get to the point, kinda like Greeley. kerser flows much more naturally and coherently, illmaculate is a bit elongated, drawn out and choppy. this shit is all jokes tho anyways, aus rap scene is just funny
It’s because half this crowd is like middle school. No disrespect to them at all, but they’re not gonna get his wordplay at all. But yeah, Max should have won this
It was a very good few lines, but his best line was the whole "blind, deaf & dumb" part where he name-dropped Manaz & Defron. That shit would burn any opponent. 🔥🔥🔥
You can be on either side and have your own opinion of who won this but this was in 2012, honestly go look at both these artist today and you'll discover that Kerser is huge now constantly being on top year after year with sold out shows and Illmaculate is still just doing battle rap, which is great and good luck to him. Kerser said it the best in the battle with 360 "i ain't a battle rap name, im just doing this shit cause i gotta get paid" just that line shows he was just making money and making a name and now he is literally the biggest rapper in his entire country
@@17kallumY'all referring to Got beef only right? Because I've seen way more entertaining battlers from America like Conceited, Dizaster, Dumbfounded ect
You're acting like it wasn't close, it was a solid battle. He battles incredibly well. It was a close battle that can be up for discussion, just because you don't like his tracks, it doesn't mean he can't battle. There's a reason why he's at the top of the Aussie battle scene and this battle shows why
I feel like everyone is saying Kerser won because he was pretty fucking funny. however Illmaculate had dope bars and used words that Im sure fucking stumped the king of jokes, fairly even tho. apart from that teletubbie line, that shit was mint
Daniel james... are you from Frankston.. i bet you are. Those 20 mil views are from all the wannabe gangsters in aus. He's so predictable with just talking about slashing people and fighting them.
only reason kerser one is bc flow. illmaculate had punch lines and bars, sure but he takes so long to get there. kerser flows much more naturally and coherently meanwhile mac is much more drawn-out and choppy.
Illmac's computer scheme completely shits on all of Kerser's lines about "Your mustache looks like arm hair" or the 'you look like ____ had a kid with _____' short jokes that've been said since 06
it saddens me that illmac had to battle in front of such a crowd... majority of those people had no idea. I'm a kerser fan but illmac took this. if kerser came as hard as he did against 60 then maybe the outcome would of been different. apart from his 3rd round which was a lot harder than his 1st and 2nd.
Didn't intend that to be a UK vs AUS comment at all really but as you bring it up, it's well established and internationally respected actually. More so than the Aussie "scene".
Have to say when I was younger I thought Kerser killed him, but now I would say it was pretty close... Illmac would've won if he didnt try to fake being tough or didnt use that stupid "lines off the head" cringe set.
talk about a walking talking cliche! Kerser is prolly the worst battler ive seen in years. I dont think he had a single punch that whole battle, not even a setup. it was just a bunch of irrelevant trash. rhyming words is the easy part. its all about coming up with a clever scheme, and then saying something fresh & intricate to set up the hard hitting punch, all while delivering it in a unique style! I guess Kerser missed school that day
The Mickey mouse tattoo represents his grandfather after he passed away because the smile of mickey mouse is so wide like his grandfathers you ignorant piece of shit.
+Adlay 225 Lads are one of the worst parts of Australian society. You're bumbag wearing, dole claiming, collar popping pieces of shit. Fuck you and everyone like you.
Illmacs style flew straight over your head. Bet you couldn't tell me the meaning of half his punchlines. Wordplay - illmac Delivery - illmac flow - kerser punchlines - illmac rhyme schemes - illmac.
I wanna see if Kerser would even recieve an invitation to battle outside of Australia??? Any Aussies care to answer that??? Has Kerser battled outside of Australia (doubt it)??? Illmac has been to Sweden, Canada, London, Australia.... All countries inviting him to battle in their country... This is the FIRST time I have ever heard of Kerser KOTD would NEVER let his Dr. Suess rhymes fly... Sorry to burst your bubbles Aussies but your "Golden Boy" will forever stay a LOCAL BOY!
Well next month we are hosting a huge event. A few names being flown out are DNA, Arsonal, Thesaurus, Rone and there is more matches to be announced. UK scene is going great.
a rap battle. Much better suited to a recorded track where you can listen and take it all in. I got most of what he said, but it's easy to see how a large number of metaphors and complex phrases he used could go over people's heads. I may be stereotyping but most of the people I've met at hiphop gigs have been simple folk.
Yeah thats going to be a crazy match, The 2 other street rappers Mac has faced he has lost too though, But with his last performance against Bender i think he can pull out the win, as long as Arsonal doesn't try and switch it too promo last minute.
The fans in this battle didn't realize that their idol Kerser still got bodied even though mac's pen game still at level c,if he puts it at Level A,He can Annihilate anybody,anywhere.
Believe it or not man not all of Kerser's fans are little girls of 15 year old "fan boys" as you may put it.. He has a lot of real fans who can relate to his music. Yes he started off a bit choppy but he has actually improved his style for the love of music and people listen to it. Trust me man, listen to speak of that by Kerser with an unbiased view. Just watch it like you don't know who he is and what he does.. Don't be scared cause he does a few drugs...People do what they do. Chur man.
Yeah man I agree, why would you film it if you've bought a ticket to watch it live? It just defies the point of even going, unless of course your the 'Got Beef' camera man.
I agree with that but you missed the "it's all in how you judge it". With rap battles it would be hard to judge intricacy and creativity because you get one chance to let everything sink in, whereas on a recorded track you can listen over and over to absorb more of what the artist is saying. I think Kerser was clever in his rhymes, but he also kept it concise so to make sure everything he was saying was received by the crowd. Illmaculate was clever too, but a little convoluted for the setting of
Lol i highly doubt he would get a battle with Thesaurus. He only battled Illmac here because Kerser is top tier in Australia, he is low-mid tier in Canada.
Delivery in rap battles = how you deliver the lines to the crowd. In other words how you play to the crowd. Kerser didn't do that. He won the crowd because he's in his country. Flow = your speed and how you verse connected together. Kerser did that. Another thing I forgot to mention illmac flipped some of kerser's verse.
the last part of illmacs 2nd was fuckin insane.. SUPER impressive. shows he could pull off that whole new school, complex word play style better than anyone else if he wanted to... to me, illmacs the best battler, and maybe lyricist period, on the planet.
Exactly, they should just wait for the official video to be put on RUclips in proper quality. There should have been some kind of rule against everyone having their phones while the battle is going on, it just cheapens the event.
That's because the people who do have respect for him aren't 13-15 year olds that think they run the internet. Kerser is killing hip-hop and is only after the money. Ilmac is keeping it real and actual has some fucking meaning in his lyrics
the average age in that room is 15 and have no idea what illmac is saying. so sad
^ Like clockwork. Salty Aussie nuthuggers that don't know rap.
Daniel James lol word? That's 100% true so why are you salty?

I'm not judging by crowd reactions. I'm saying the crowd wouldn't know a punchline if chino xl told them one.
Haha "put the Nautica shirt down" and kerser now has his own range haha 😂🤣😃
kerser should start doing battles again, killed everyone he come up against
kerser is garbage can
You’re the garbage can
"Look at this little emcee."
Says the guy a whole head shorter than his opponent. 😂
as a canadian not on anyside id say illmac took it personally just much more intelligent lines i do like kersers style tho
Most people don't understand how deep Illmaculate gets...
What the fucking fuck, where was this filmed? City Beach surfstore?
kersers battles are hilarious, love it
k-k-k-kerser is the sickest k- -k kerser is the sickest
Kerser and 360 are the actual only people that make rap battles entertaining, other rappers are just rubbish flow wise.

illmac had some good thought out lines, but kerser makes it look easy
Too easy

...Every verse Illmac spit is gold. I'm amazed that the crowd even reacted to Kerser; Terrible delivery & sub-par lines.

Dwarf sounds like he’s just talking normally trying to rap
Wow, I thought that was a real tight battle but u HONESTLY think Kerser won!!!
Like if u agree
how did kerser not break down and cry after the first verse
"So kerser (cursor) brought his click to open up for an icon!" If you honestly think kerser took this you need mental help.
that whole computer scheme was mad would still give it to kerser on the amount of hilarious roasts
Well next month we are hosting a huge event. A few names being flown out are DNA, Arsonal, Thesaurus, Rone and there is more matches to be announced. UK scene is going great.
‘Take the ill out your name cause your next to the sickest’
Kersers number 1 rapper alive today
its sad that the whole crowd didnt understand any of illmaculate's word play, illmac is too sick
You know your career is on the decline when fucking Grindtime doesn't wont you. Present day Grindtime that is.
Amen. I have nothing to add to that, Amen, just Amen
Cursor - Kerser. The metaphors were completely relevant, they just flew right over the heads of the people at the gig.
Agree, although I would give delivery to kerser, probably because he was rehearsing all his lines the night before
I know he does. All 6s and 7s is one of my favourite albums. The guy is a master at multis as well.
a rap battle. Much better suited to a recorded track where you can listen and take it all in.

Kerser's first punchline in his 2nd got a bigger reaction than all of Illmaculate's wordplay in his 2nd, which pretty much sums up the audience.
No shit 😅 punchlines are rap lines that involve jokes if you didn't know! ILL was getting alot of whooos from his wordplay tho
You Deserve My Respect For Being Real & Truthful About The Battle Fam!
That basically negates your whole argument..... Great job.
P.s illmacs computer related lyrics were fucking insane, how fucking slept on did they get? won the battle alone with that.
Yeah man I agree, why would you film it if you've bought a ticket to watch it live? It just defies the point of even going, unless of course your the 'Got Beef' camera man.
kerser deserves the win for the call about illmaculates gay mustache
look at that crowd lol. Looks like a school disco. Illmac's computer scheme won this alone.
How can you say Illmac lost? Y'all must not know his track record.. he referenced it so much in this battle and yet no one picked it up.
I want to see kerser leave australia and battle in front of a crowd that isnt Australian...
kerser doesnt deserve the honour of battleing illmac
That 5 senses line was enough to end it all.. TOO slept on.
if Kerser battled Sandman (Charron's first opponent) it would be a pretty even battle.
Yeah exactly, I don't think Illmac was expected a crowd full of teens.
didn't know this was a primary school field trip?

If they battled it would only happen in Australia. Thesaurus would have a much bigger opponent in other places.
i never understood why the crowd always records the battles lmfao i'm sure they see the official camera being held by a camera guy..
