First God bless these two legends like God just blessed us with a show for the ages. But let's talk particulars, first I'm biased towards KRS One cos he's one of my personal favourites but I think him letting the crowd finish half his lines probably went down much better in the venue than online. But the mixing and mastering on KRS Ones tracks made his songs sound bigger overall. Kane was a masterclass in flow and breath control. I can't call it, both killed it, HIP-HOP WON 🤷🏾‍♂️

I was surprised I knew that much from both of their catalogs. I had KRS winning the versus it was clear he had more records and the crowd control was amazing, Kane wins performance easily no debate, Scratch wins DJ battle, and a tie on freestyles.

I love both but KRS stage performance and breath control sucked.I honestly can't pick a winner because Kane breath control,ability to rap fast or slow plus he spoke clearly and his stage presence won.KRS records hit harder so I'm just happy to see both still doing their thing.Hip Hop Legends.Dudes now are just rappers.

[@pblagrove]

I agree to the extent that Kane's breath control was impeccable but, overall KRS-1 KILLED IT (Lyrically, crowd control, excitement and catalog). Both men are true legends and did their thing.

[@micheledaly5823]

@@pblagrove Agreed But KRS had the crowd say more of his lyrics than he did and was winded even at the beginning.That really bothered me.Overall tho both Legends killed it.

Remember your words like style p said.

Michele,you on crack what hip hop show you was watching last night?Krs One at 57,bust Kane as in his own building.Kane ran outta hits,need guests to save him from embarrasment.Plus when last time Kane dropped ablum?Hello,hello,the teacher dropped album last year,Between The Protests.The teacher freestyles was ridiculous,Kane got me on Raw,Aint No Half Stepping.Plus Krs One didn't play more hits so hello it was no contest,KRS One still 1.

I love how the crew breaks down each record. With that being said, KANES live performance truly brought his records to life. I appreciated the performance more than hearing the song later. Definition of a true MC !

[@mopar_keys]

Laura literally said nuthin relevant never gave reasons why she picked a song! When she was up first she literally passed every time and answered after with a name….and they kinda got Kane fucked up

Both legendary MCs from the 80s and 90s in NYC. Kane didnt want to battle and KRS was just having fun. Blast master took this one.

This is Why KRS 1 won Rebuttals Freestyle Acapella Crowd control n crowd engagement Dj control.... BDk lost cz dude just came to rap flow n deliver which we already knew he can do.....besides that " u welcome"6 bar rebattle there was nuthing much he did to make him a winner.

KRS edged out Kane. Kris' songs were speaker bangers on a hanger- boom bap! Kane is smooth and a lyrical beast but he didn't have enough bangers. KRS could have kept on going dropping dope material. KRS didn't use P Is Free, P Is Still Free, Squash All Beef, Build Ya Skillz, We In There, Rappaz R N Dainja, Duck Down, Higher Level, Illegal Business, Gimme Dat Woy, De Automatic, You Must Learn, Wannabemceez, T' Cha T' Cha, Ya Slippin', Brown Skin Woman, Drug Dealer, Original Lyrics, Stop The Violence, A Friend and many more classic songs plus features (The Anthem, Symphony 2000, 1-2 Pass It, 5 Boroughs, East Coast West Coast Killa, Men Of Steel, Brainstorm, Drop It Heavy, Conscious Style, Self Destruction and more).

When you listen to just the music , KRS songs hit harder … but watching the verzuz I honestly would give it to Kane , his performance skills were a bit better
