I can't watch this back. Just came here to apologise for robbing you all of a classic. Mac was incredible . I needed to pull out as life was kicking the shit out of me but I didn't wanna let you all down. Ended up doing it anyway. I promise I'll be back in september and you'll get the best me you've ever seen. Until then, enjoy watching this body on repeat for illmacs material alone. Respect to Mac, KOTD and all of you. In a bit 🙏🏻
@ShoxTheRebel I like what you brought to the ring. You had some haymakers. Next time apply more pressure on your opponents cause we rock wit you my guy.
you came with fire dont be so hard on yourself, that crowd was sleeping badly and you obviously had other distractions but you still proved that you're dope as fuck, i had you winning until the chokes. hope you're all good, see you at apex
“It gets worse for you, be ashamed. I spit a verse for you bein vague. If it applies to another person then on the surface you seem the same so take it personal either way” 🔥🔥🔥
@@illmacTV Illmac! Brother you’re killing it right now. Pushing the culture forward and your battle catalog will forever have you in the goat conversation. Seeing you battle live is on my bucket list.
Yeah, first battle of the night... event started a lil late. I got there and pretty much went straight on stage, didnt get a chance to run my material & refresh before the battle like i usually do, so i took a sec to warm up too. so, I'm not mad at em, the vibe was a lil weird... like I said they woke up toward the end and for most of the following battles of the event.
"My bones are shatter proof. Soul is flammable. This is fire Vulcans couldn't hold a Roman candle to..." Man this is the type of shit that gets heavily slept on from illmac. Super unique and insane levels of writing that entire 3rd round. No one else can do this type of shit in battle rap
what do you mean "give him a real plate" lmao he's battled everyone on KOTD and was a champ already, this IS a real plate because it's a battle he wanted to do
I've seen three battles from this event and that's enough to say this crowd was weak. I expected more from Shox but he said he was going through shit, so I figured that played a part. Illmac was fire as always but Shox had some quotables in rounds 1 and 2. I got Shox round 1, Illmac rounds 2 and 3.
Shox was crazy if you take out the stumbles. He could definitely take Soul as the UK #1. That being said. The only verse I gave to Shox was round 1 by a slight edge. Illmac on his shit this entire battle though and his 3rd was a nail for a coffin. I hope it doesn't discourage Shox from competing or discourage organizers from giving him more big battles. This battle had great lines from both battlers I had to pause and rewind several times. Illmacs best round was the 3rd with the crazy generic scheme for a generic competitor angle. That's is such a meta angle that is cerebral next level mind games type bars. Shox said "I switched the mat black to the nickle plate I wasn't sure if they'd like that move, turns out it reflect well with the glove now I got a mack jack groove, which is funny cause its no longer black but still slide back smooth." THERE IS POTENTIAL IN THIS MAN. Shox I hope you work out your personal shit and get back to battling. TLDR: Illmac 2-1; Haymakers were present. Audience was asleep.
The multi's ending round 1 showing all the extras he could have said shows his talent is infinite. Uk Loves Your professionalism and respect @@illmacTV
Cannot wait to see illmac in Oakland flying half across the country to watch that card and this dude got me excited as hell. Illmac on a level this year
Anyone else feel like illmac is the most underappreciated rapper? Fuck just in the battle scene, I mean in the total aspect of Hip Hop. The dudes writing is levels beyond the standard, he gets respect from his peers and a few industry cats sure, but they need to be spreading his name more and showing that respect when the lights on them to spread awareness. Like what hollow did when he said illmac was the best writer in battle rap on that complex show.
This crowd don’t even understand the basic shit, they giving Illmac the “well he said that line with emphasis so it must be a punchline” cheers 😂 He did this man dirty, I felt bad for shox in the 2nd round lol 4-0 somehow
Shox first two rounds were incredible. Crowd was sleeping. This dude is incredibly elite. Surf and Hollow can filler a whole round and ppl like yeah god tier, but Shox punches wild, straight forward shit that lands every time
I dunno what happened but I'm happy to watch this match up again I respect shox especially for him dropping throwaways on facebook before the battle and he still had some cool bars in his rounds respectfully I have to give the win to illmac better rounds and a cleaner performance dope match up keep shining much love and respect salute!
I felt really bad for shox, he put out an apology on Reddit, he said he had a "family tragedy" (Someone passed away, he didn't elaborate and we didn't push for him to) right before the event and shouldn't have battled. I respect him for trying to stick it out, but unfortunately for him, illmac was on his A game while shox had his worst showing ever.
@@grabbity that's terrible and I to respect him more knowing that and still showing up to battle he still had bars his math Hoffa hollow da Don line was fire it would be cool to see a rematch in the future 💯
EVEN GRINDTIME HAD A SHIRT Another killer performance from mac, and as someone who hasnt really followed shox if this is him coming soft im terrified of him
Illmac is so right about Shox beating Tony. That DF circle jerk blatantly gave that to Tony so that Shox could beat Soul and then Soul eventually would beat Tony. If Shox did not choke it would be mad debatable
Crazy how illmac will go into a battle looking for a 3-0 Body........NOT losing 1 Round is the personal challenge he created for himself..... He comes from a dying breed, pay your respects now.....Too Fire 🔥🔥🔥
Illmac stepped his pen game up since the fight with con... I got illmac winning, another 30 piece. Mac was saying some shit, he up there in the ranks... Shox 1st rd was live tho, but illmac was the better puncher in this fight... Shouts out to KOTD... 💪🏾💯
Damn shame about Shox. He'll bounce back though. The man has bags of talent. Illmac though, in the last 2 years has totally levelled up. His 3 rounds were phenomenal. Kind of think that if Shakespeare were alive today he'd be a battle rapper, and he'd probably be Illmac.
It’s a fucking shame the circs around Shox coming to this battle, much respect to him even turning up given he had real life shit going on. Would be good to see a rematch as this should have been battle of the night.
Anyone else agree that KOTD should do either a GRAND PRIX or at least a number one contenders match for CHILLAS next title match he's battled everyone that'd make even a bit of sense but my top picks for who deserves a shot at the chain in no particular order is REAL DEAL, ILLMAC, A. WARD, THESAURUS & CHARRON🏅

ShoxTheRebel you still had bars tho, no shame, Illmac was on his shit. Stay blessed and come back with more fire.
Still had some good shit bro.

That was a personal favorite of mine tbh.

Shox first 1:17

The hero every battle needs
Illmacs the man for being so respectful and understanding fareal
thank you illmac for introducing me to the air guitar world championships. quite possibly the most important thing i learned from this battle.
lmao
“It happens bro.”
- illmac (after the bodybag)
Ok, I want Illmac vs Lux. KOTD you know you could make this happen with the right money.
I already said Lux vs The Saurus but no one's feelin it.🤷♂️
Don’t we all?
That would never happen
We ALL want Illmac vs Lux
@@Kanendd I think Illmac would be a lot more appropriate. He has a far better pen than Saurus. Saurus is just a better freestyler.
"No secret, you're not better. I'm confident you'll know i'm above your class if I go off record"
That's one of the best bars ive ever heard Mac
not saying Illmac is the best, but he is on another level.
hes one of the goats real shit
lux, daylyt and illmac are able to leave earth.
Forealz.... Even that clone warz bar was hard as fuck
Ever since the Pat stay battle he has been on top tier
Definitely the GOAT
Illmac won all 3 rounds. Shox had some shit but it just wasnt enough..got outclassed.
Its levels
Shox got the first
Shox had the bars and conviction - Shox had the first. Ill is a legend - nothing taken from him or his rounds.
Crowd was weak. Illmac was dope.
Illmaculate went ham.. Never made me laugh so hard
theyre just tuned in i think. you can't listen during applause and they want to catch every word
Illmac is the best writer in battle rap. No debating
Facts
Yea, but Daylyts got better wordplay. Macs way more well rounded.
that 3rd is still one of the best verses ive ever heard
Not only is Illmac's pen God tier, the end proves he's a class act. Great battle despite the stumbles.
ill is a monster . always rocked with him more than the rest of the original cats
Watch how you “conduct” yourself
‘Surprise’ “Shox” with the hands like the “buzzer” prank
Idk why but I thought that was so dope
It so was
because its very very dope.
crowd was wack... illmac to clever lool. a lot of people dont get his bars but he actually spitting flames this battle.
Illmac been dope for years !
This event was whack
worst than a udubb crowd
Yeah, first battle of the night... event started a lil late. I got there and pretty much went straight on stage, didnt get a chance to run my material & refresh before the battle like i usually do, so i took a sec to warm up too. so, I'm not mad at em, the vibe was a lil weird... like I said they woke up toward the end and for most of the following battles of the event.
illmacTV that 3rd round was incredible. Your literally the apex of battle rap.
"My bones are shatter proof. Soul is flammable. This is fire Vulcans couldn't hold a Roman candle to..."
Man this is the type of shit that gets heavily slept on from illmac. Super unique and insane levels of writing that entire 3rd round. No one else can do this type of shit in battle rap
Ppl slept on shox first but illmac is always fire 🔥
Yeah, I actually edged Shox the first. The other two were massively one-sided though.
Respect to the crowd for allowing Shox to fight through the chokes though
Kinda hard to understand him sometimes. He nice though
Illmac is incredible
IllMac on was another level in every round. Shit was crazy but that 3rd was God tier. Vibes of his 3rd vs Bigg K
"Is it NOTHING?" gawdamn in one line illmac Thanos snaps the DF title
"gordon bombay, blade in the sneaks" WHATTTTT?! talk that mighty duck shit!
"a powerhouse, my style's the now its current so why the fuck would I feel shockz when I'm so grounded in the circuit"
GOAT PEN🔥
"He's completely average, my shit is mean" for me that's subtle hilarity
Illmac 30. That 3rd from Mac is Bigg K 3rd round level. Yall need to stop playing with Illmac and give him a real plate.
what do you mean "give him a real plate" lmao he's battled everyone on KOTD and was a champ already, this IS a real plate because it's a battle he wanted to do
Metal Mickey yeah. Shox vs soul was dope and ill battled soul. So I’m sure he wanted shox.
Shox that matte black to nickle MJ bar was nuckin FUTZ
“Tesla coil, how I rap circles around Shox” Oof 🔥
Till my hands seize/C's up...like that
I've seen three battles from this event and that's enough to say this crowd was weak. I expected more from Shox but he said he was going through shit, so I figured that played a part. Illmac was fire as always but Shox had some quotables in rounds 1 and 2. I got Shox round 1, Illmac rounds 2 and 3.
Haha! Thought I was the only one. Glad to hear someone else agrees that Shox edged the first round.
Much respect for the mad dash getting the video fixed. Fire battle - Illmac 30 piece and a soda
this is the most effortless body i’ve seen since diz vs canibus
Shox is Don't Flop's "Champ" but choked in all three rounds (badly in 2 and 3).
Illmac was consistent. All three were very good.
IllMac's 3rd could be a Raising the Bars episode. Straight fire!
Phenomenal
Shox was crazy if you take out the stumbles. He could definitely take Soul as the UK #1. That being said. The only verse I gave to Shox was round 1 by a slight edge. Illmac on his shit this entire battle though and his 3rd was a nail for a coffin. I hope it doesn't discourage Shox from competing or discourage organizers from giving him more big battles.

TLDR: Illmac 2-1; Haymakers were present. Audience was asleep.
ayyye, appreciate u!
He did take Soul already

No fuckin way ILLMACs BENDER tribute at the end of the first was the best part of the whole match
Cannot wait to see illmac in Oakland flying half across the country to watch that card and this dude got me excited as hell. Illmac on a level this year
Hell yeah, come say what up at TOWN BIDNESS homie!
illmacTV bet, my chick didn’t want to come and my boys flakes out so I’m coming solo
nskennedy that’s how u know it’s real. I’m sure you’ll battle friends there lol
Kotd always showing Nipsey that real love 💯💯💯

RIP Bender. When illmac went off in the 1st introducing that tat!!!! Flames!!!!!! Bender was watching down and cracked one open 2 that!!! Cheers!!!
For Real. RIP a true legend
The funny thing is, if Shox didn’t choke it would still look this bad. Illmac 3-0 not a body, this is cremation 🔥
This crowd don’t even understand the basic shit, they giving Illmac the “well he said that line with emphasis so it must be a punchline” cheers 😂 He did this man dirty, I felt bad for shox in the 2nd round lol 4-0 somehow
Even the mac homage slipped passed. What a shame
That boxer fracture line was slept on!
Yes was too nice that line, very niche tho!
"is it nothing?" leant me
lol
It wasn't so much the bar as the way he delivered it. The condescension was hilarious to me.
Shox first two rounds were incredible. Crowd was sleeping. This dude is incredibly elite. Surf and Hollow can filler a whole round and ppl like yeah god tier, but Shox punches wild, straight forward shit that lands every time

That Bender scheme was so dope!
RIP
Illmac's rebuttals to the choke were hilarious
Yo his battle man, goddamn, shit genuinely gave me the feels
Thought the crowd was sleeping on mac but they were just paying very close attention... To every fucking word.
Illmac was gasing...dope
EVEN GRINDTIME HAD A SHIRT
Another killer performance from mac, and as someone who hasnt really followed shox if this is him coming soft im terrified of him
THIS IS STILL FIRE IN 2021.
Illmac is Fire! And Shox da Rebel rebeling against rapping in his own rounds. 😂😂
At 4:32 Shox "or there will be no bright side Mac, I'm not an opt to miss"
Guy in crowd "Cooooorrrrnnnball"
Welp, I'm dead.
opp
I never noticed that guy, that's hilarious
Illmacs 3rd is 🔥🔥🔥
The way Illmac meandered through this train wreck on foreign soil is fkn beautiful.
NO ONE is near illmac pen. Actually the G.O.A.T.
"Shox the Rebel... rebelling against rapping in his rounds." RIP Shox you a ghost now
did the already dope illmac just get even better that style he’s using is crazzzzy, line on line.
Like rum nitty, you getting back to back punches til my hands cease up. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You're getting that Rum Nitty treatment, that's back to back punches till my hands cease up 🔥🔥🔥
"I guess you just love to belittle" FIRE!!
lol That was great
@@illmacTV You beasted it still king, loves the "Gets an actual guitar at the end" hahaha
Even through Shox performance, I like the guy (pause). New fan. Illmac 2nd half of his 1st was INSANE!! Beautiful multis 😂😂
Illmac is so right about Shox beating Tony. That DF circle jerk blatantly gave that to Tony so that Shox could beat Soul and then Soul eventually would beat Tony.
If Shox did not choke it would be mad debatable
Illmac's 2nd was fire, 3rd was legendary
One of the best performances I've ever seen from Illmac.
Illmac had this one 3-0
Rebuttles, punchlines, and crowd reactions said it all🔥🔥🔥.
some of my favorite Illmac rounds. He was on fire that year
Crazy how illmac will go into a battle looking for a 3-0 Body........NOT losing 1 Round is the personal challenge he created for himself..... He comes from a dying breed, pay your respects now.....Too Fire 🔥🔥🔥
Shot 1st round fire dropping those big names🔥🔥🔥🔥
damn. Shox is so so good and this had the potential to be an insane match. He'll be back and kill it!
"You're getting the Rum Nitty treatment... back to back punches till my hand seize (C's) up".
Illmac 3-0. Not many people can win 2 out of 3 rounds vs ill...just not happening.
Shox is that UK version of AVE in a certain way.
mmmmm, i can see that
"That was stupid." LOOOOOOOOL
Illmac stepped his pen game up since the fight with con... I got illmac winning, another 30 piece. Mac was saying some shit, he up there in the ranks... Shox 1st rd was live tho, but illmac was the better puncher in this fight... Shouts out to KOTD... 💪🏾💯
Illmac really spazzed on this one
This was the first battle of the event. Kinda hard to get an enthusiastic crowd when Shox is choking the whole time
yeah even I looked a lil shaky in the first, so I dont blame em lol
@@illmacTV I was part of the crowd so I know exactly how it was😂😂. You showed out tho. Good Shit
Damn shame about Shox. He'll bounce back though. The man has bags of talent. Illmac though, in the last 2 years has totally levelled up. His 3 rounds were phenomenal. Kind of think that if Shakespeare were alive today he'd be a battle rapper, and he'd probably be Illmac.
AHahhaa, I"D 30 SHAKESPEARE! lol. Appreciate u. Just trynna learn from each battle and turn weakness' into strengths, SALUTE
Shox said “I’ll lick one in the air like where’s that breeze coming from” jeez🔥🔥🔥
Battlers can’t keep coming this unprepared
Illmac is literally the best
Didn't y'all release this in morning 🤔 either way good battle Illmac with the 30 piece. B Magic getting cooked at Town Bidness
Hopefully Magic doesn't choke
@@klynch572 yeah lol, his last battle against Mr Millz was weak.
At the end of the battle shox says sorry bro
Ill says shit happens
Not to illmatic
One choke I've seen arsonal
Illmac da 🐐
ehhh, Ars, stumbled n was terrible vs Rone... shit happens lol
Oh my god Illmac killed this
It’s a fucking shame the circs around Shox coming to this battle, much respect to him even turning up given he had real life shit going on. Would be good to see a rematch as this should have been battle of the night.
Shox had some CRAZY shit that got slept on badly, in his hometown too. Not surprised he was thrown off, that would fuck with your head tbf
Best Illmac in a minute
I fucking hate the fact illmac puts so much effort in his bars and they are some of the best written material ever and gets little to no recognition
That bender scheme was crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9:01 straight fire 🔥🔥🔥
they played that heat by Chase Moore n Illmac for the introoo!!!
Yee!
Always loved Mac. Ill was so sick, and didn't even have to try. saw dude chocking, and said I'll let him live, but let him know who's legit elite.
👀🔥🔥🔥 Illmac always delivers ( just to remind heads why he’s best writer ) , Shox weren’t even on form and still came w it 👏
THAT 3RD VERSE!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only battles Ill has lost since grind time is when he was drunk v Arsenal and debatably rone
Illmac is from Trawgannia ...an ancient alien planet from a galaxy i just made up.
... or did u?
illmac is too deep for live crowd reaction...Shox had some crazy bars too.
Anyone else agree that KOTD should do either a GRAND PRIX or at least a number one contenders match for CHILLAS next title match he's battled everyone that'd make even a bit of sense but my top picks for who deserves a shot at the chain in no particular order is REAL DEAL, ILLMAC, A. WARD, THESAURUS & CHARRON🏅
