No reaching, no trash ass crowd, no unbearably long rounds. Just a couple veteran Emcees holdin' it down and entertaining the phukk out of the fans. Makes you remember why you watch this shit in the first place.

[@GTNBattles]

Thanks for watching. PH vs Getcha drops next Friday too, to give you a heads up.

[@PumpkinheadBKAC]

Troll or no troll I appreciate all of ya'll thanks for your views, especially the ones with something positive to say even if it is a critique or you think Madness won. GTN salute Mad Illz, Too Major, R.C. I'll be back indeed.

[@Rudare916]

Nice to know you still got them bars PH. Dude was funny and had some heat but bars beat the jokes to me. Look forward to seeing more.

[@MadSquabblez1]

U got this clearly imo. Madness had some shit 2 tho. Both of y'all did your thing. Reminded me of the GT of old. Salute

[@MadSquabblez1]

Can't believe no one caught tht "westside, common sense, bitch in you" bar. Shit was fire

[@SikeNawGaming]

[@GTNBattles]

Thank you for watching!

[@FatTony0687]

RIP P.H. Damn, it's amazing that PH put out one more classic "Golden era GT" battle shortly before he departed, it had the on the spot, raw feel mixed in with the humor and ideal crowd response. Funny how life works that way. Props to PH and Madness for making this happen for GT!

[@ElRollsRoyce]

Anthony F yo my dude do u know how ph passed ?

[@gmn545]

R.I.P. PH

[@AlexParkerAP]

madness can beat a lot of guys….but ph was on his game in this and was more punctual with syllables and had better rhythm than he normally does…ph got that….madness is back…that sub titles shit was off the hook…and he has good jokes that have bars constructed with them…good battle from both sides….2-1 ph.

[@GTNBattles]

Grind Time Now Uh Oh, you called him a "Celeb".. Watch out Motorists, you will soon be called "Nice Assholes"!

[@Rudare916]

Wait..Wait....battle rap isnt supposed to be fun! Where are the over hyped terrible bars. Where's the disrespect? Where are the over paid people with last min prepared bars? Im not sure I can get use to this.

[@GTNBattles]

hahahah! Perfect response!! awe man, You made our day right now!

[@freder1c]

I mean but at the same time, where is anything good?

[@boogie504]

And what 'Grind Time Now' meant by, "You made OUR day right now".... Is Madillz and the evil cat on his lap, lol

[@curiosityl.6261]

Grind time do you think you guys will ever try for a comeback? You need to do absolutely NOTHING but try and get back big names. Nothing else should matter for you guys. Your comeback would be the most amazing thing to happen in rap battle history. Would be an amazing story

[@MadSquabblez1]

[@Trudon]

gt never fell off. best league ever

[@Dr.McVeeNo]

Like the old grindtime days i'd have to see it go to ot. They both killed it for real though. Madness used to be one of my faves how he hit you with that balance of bars and jokes and jokes that are actual bars. Glad to see both of em back.

Wow this battle was reminiscent of the original, game-changing GrindTime era back in '08 when battle rap had its written-format renaissance!!! So glad both emcees came wit' that hot shit and crafted another masterpiece for us all to enjoy! RIP PH! You will be sorely missed my brotha! You inspired us all with your incredible musicianship and superb battle rap abilities!!!

[@GTNBattles]

Thanks for watching. PH vs Getcha drops next Friday too, to give you a heads up.

[@datu0108]

r.i.p PH!!! 😞

[@mcmotionMA]

one of the better ph's we'v seen over the years, he can work the stage. both were really on point.. i want to see what madness does as champion.

[@guilitotorres9777]

Its really sad to loose such a good battle rapper as well as being someone so instrumental to battle rap's roots. Alot of people dont know how much he had to do with Smack/URL being born

[@sg500]

Its great to see gt back up and running. Id like to see some old faces return but with all this top tier stuff and payment demands its probably gonna take years for that. Great battle and it was a good look.

[@veritasaequitas1722]

Such a crazy loss for the Battle Community, rest easy Ph

[@plitas]

It was a good battle but I'd go with OT. Round 1 - PH Round 2 - Tie Round 3 - Madness

[@civoreb]

Scream till you're blue in the face like Megaman....Megaman wears a blue suit...does not have a blue face. Bar almost works.

[@buckybuckemzz2645]

lol

[@bodhithehuman9402]

+civoreb Lmao

[@polishhousemafia3090]

Rest well Pumpkinhead. Both were fire and both won for me.

[@KeithElite]

Dope. Grindtime! Shout out to the OG's. I got PH over my dude Madness.

[@GTNBattles]

Thanks for watching. PH vs Getcha drops next Friday too, to give you a heads up.

[@ohell8207]

Dope battle. To give me a heads up, does PH vs Getcha drop on Friday?

[@datu0108]

More big names GT.

[@qaching]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW NEVER THOUGHT GRIND TIME COULD PULL THIS OFF ONE OF THE BIGGEST NAMES RAPPING FOR GRIND TIME AGAIN?

[@rbradbeast]

As a battle rap fan this to me was a good battle with good bars put together well. If GTN making a comeback I'd like to c and event called unfinished business with battles from gt Mc's that fans wanted to c that never happened. Especially ones like an undefeated champ defend his title like highcollide vs thesaurus. SALUTE GTN and vets.

[@GTNBattles]

That is a great idea! Thank you for your input. We are definitely trying to get more older heads back in the ring.

[@xXRaZzl3Xx]

Good Shit. Both were dope as fuck. keep it coming Grind Time. we want more!

[@jenniferhutchens1168]

fire from both side can't even pick but if somebody had a gun to head n said pick 1 I would go for ph

[@GTNBattles]

It was extremely hard for the judges to give it to Madness. Trust, the entire room was into every bit of this battle! Thanks for watching. PH vs Getcha drops next Friday too, to give you a heads up.

[@keithmiddleton3677]

An avid fan of MC Battles. I loved Madness' calm and cynical demeanor. He had great ideas and jokes. He rhymed and had schemes however PH as always came to BATTLE. Bars, schemes, punches, jokes a cpl personals he was well rounded and prepared as opposed to Madness. 3-0 PH and not just cuz he reps THE PLAGUE!!! MCMI LET'S GO!!!!

[@DannyFlorioNYC]

Classic battle

[@thabboy]

Pumpkinhead vs Madness battling in 2015 on Grind Time Now. Is this real life? Great battle BTW. No BS, No filler. 2 dope ‪#‎hiphop‬ MC's going for the throat. It's hella fun! - DJAUDIO1

[@il100374]

Anyone else see the Organik clone?

[@Mikethemenace415]

I hell thought that was him at first

[@nutsotherealnutso4416]

#LONGLIVEPUMPKINHEAD #BROOKLYNACADEMY S.I.P MY GZ

[@GMS_MCMI]

Hey obviously, I can be seen as bias, since I'm PH's boy, but I feel that madness had some great lines, but not any complete, solid rounds. In each round he had good section or line or two, but not consistent and delivery not as confident. I thought PH had more back to back hitting punches. Listen to crowd reaction to see what I mean. Madness invokes a huge reaction a couple of times here and there, but not maintained throughout a round. PH kept it going with reaction after reaction. So, I gave it to PH, 3-0. I respect the 2-1 votes though. Madness had some bars. Not wack at all. Dope battle. Great lighting and camera work too. Visually sharp and super clean. Props GTN. - GMS (MCMI)

[@GTNBattles]

Thank you for coming down and checking everything out first hand too. Salute and respect to you in the fullest fam!

[@scotthunt6135]

Rip

[@MrNickelodeon90]

Damn Rip Ph

[@dubcity2228]

Dope battle. PH actually did work. I usually lean on the jokes side but I can't resist dem BARS. Peace

[@SevenRayedGod]

Rappers just dying left and right now crazy RIP

[@johnferdinand3839]

Straight Bars (props to both!)

[@derideandmock9352]

PH Won. RIP TeamHomi4Life

[@Wayzer1er]

im a fan of madness. but he wasnt prepared enough for this battle. he took PH lightly. PH definitely capitalized on that by performing flawlessly. PH takes 3-0 or an arguable 2-1 with mad winning the first.

[@BangSkeeet]

Madness is one of the GOATs LMAO He type bodied PH with that last freestyle

[@KimoAmazin]

Rap starts @ 1.32min

[@jizmjackson9177]

PH based on preference. Not mad if people say otherwise.

[@XplicitStory]

damn 2k views. mad illz dropped the ball so hard on this channel. it was on top of battle rap and went full jumpoff lol

[@scuba6797]

Quality!

[@Benzetha]

I don't drive a Acura legend.

[@PopularNobody]

RIP PH

[@raygaspard7008]

Absolute fire!!!!!!!

[@billmorris3343]

Love these guys...bulk!

[@ShaunKang69]

Great battle "both still got it"

[@toomajor7124]

They sure do. Thanks for watching!

[@Wobbothe3rd]

Wow this was close...

[@joshualee4212]

The platform inwhich 106 park used to do it would be perfect

[@SENCE302]

Damn I miss the old grind time days, no disrespect mad illz I got love for you my brother but I miss the fresh coast and grizzle mania and the NY division those were the days, now its KOTD using old GT vets and even URL pretty much running the whole culture

[@tuila]

Grind Time Now should be called Grind Time Back Then. It's like a retirement home for battle rappers that are 35 or older. Tony Madness still funny as fuck though, can't hate on that haha.

[@GTNBattles]

lol Thanks for watching. PH vs Getcha drops next Friday too, to give you a heads up.

[@rubeng.2432]

Haha well GT Looks to be making a come back.. hope so man i hope so

[@CrookitLetta]

I got it all even going into round 3

[@kemosabi986]

rest in peace PH

[@youaintgotnolegs2548]

Is that Aesop Rock in the background at 3:00 ?

[@NOLAbrookz]

DOPE

[@GTNBattles]

Thank you for watching!

[@jameswillis896]

First off RIP PH.. you were a great battler/host and always entertained. it might make me biased since because i just seen this but i think ph took it 2-1 madness even ended a round on a bar he took from ph outside the battle thats hilarious!
