Grind Time Now Presents: A-Class vs Caustic

Battle from GT's Badd Blood in NY

[@radiosurgery]

A-Class is one of the most underrated GTers for sure.

[@deezsusballa6997]

8:49 A Class gives himself dap. Classic.

[@kendez11]

everytime I watch this battle the handshake gets me hha, Its so fcking funny haha #dead

[@Ihatethewaythatyou]

man class just proves he's awkward with this one.

[@BrodyzVidz]

It's almost a year later and I still feel the same about this battle.... A-Class Got Robbed ...Easy. Real Deal lost, he shouldn't have won. The judges choose Caustic's Asian jokes over A-Class' Raw Lyrical Skill. What a fuckin Shame.

[@LikwitSwords]

A class won

[@Rjezy101]

whats the opening song? thats sick

[@hakanalper5417]

When a class slaps his own hand at the end ahahahhaah

[@BrodyzVidz]

@chessdawgz LMAO, Yes i meant Caustic, Same difference, Caustic is the bummy version of Real Deal anyways. lyrically and physically lol.

[@RubbinRobbin]

A-class frees were sick. Way better than Caustic. Caustic performance was harder, but A-class was no slouch either, I give to A-class.

[@sanitary103]

@easyautomotive ..totally agree..A-class doesn't need to dumb down for these judges..they should listen better

[@ProLifik1]

..and anybody that thinks these battles aren't judged biased should look at this judgement. Three rounds to zero A-Class, wasn't even a close battle, finally somebody reppin B more right.

[@ITSWATEVAaa]

whats the website for the watch ph wearing

[@mrhygiene]

Wow....A-Class got a LOT better. He absolutely took this. What a terrible decision.

[@Shadohz75]

@Ih8thePolice I have to agree and disagree with you. That Grand Dragon line was pretty nice... Aye yo, I know, because I rewind just so I can hear it twice. *my freestyle for the year lol* I think alot of ppl caught that, but A-Class was too quick to silence the crowd. Like the judges said, he needs to slow it down and let them enjoy it. SK's can actually spit some complexities, but unfortunately he has to "dumb it down" so the crowd can get in it. They love him for lines and performance tho.

[@zraidercro]

8:14 Sara Kana has T-rex arms

[@termirock25]

AY YO AY YO AY YO AY YO AY YO AY YO AY YO

[@TheRealKidSpitter]

a class dapped himself lololol

[@KiDX77]

This was A-Class' best performance imo and he got robbed. :(

[@dcta51]

Crazy af! Im out here watching random a class battles and thinking "damn when was he ever this good?!" And he lost!

[@coolboymake]

A-class got robbed smh

[@TheOfficiality]

Everytime I've seen this battle...I still can't se ehow the judges picked Caustic...A-Class ate'em!

[@joebeast15]

A-Class is my friend and i talked to him before seeing this and he pulled the politically correct approach and said that he lost, but after watching this he got utterly robbed for the 2nd time. Everyone check out Brakefast's new CD its hot and got great reviews.

[@AdrenalStorm]

This has got to be one of the top 10 robberies on grind time. At least should've garnered an OT. While I do believe that A-Class should slow down a bit, the judges never tell Dizaster (who probably does it faster) to do the same.

[@tjdeuceosix]

A-Class got that in my opinion. I dunno why the judges hated on his fast spittin'. That shit is tight to me. I think punchlines speak for themselves and should be rewarded no matter the crowd reaction.

[@SpencerButt]

that "grand dragon" line was dope.

[@CrakiCraka]

WHAT THE F! I thought it would be unanimous for A-Class, damn that was a robbery

[@jusfaso]

A-Class got this one in my eyes

[@amsbeats841]

Round 1, Caustic edged Round 2, A-Class BODIED Round 3, A-class bodied again judges are trippin

[@Ryker_One]

"You got bad blood like jail, because there aren't too many white cells." That line was dope as fuck.

[@BrandonPerezOne]

I heard every punchline A-Class said I think the judges was making an excuse. Don't get me wrong Caustic is a dope ass emcee, but Ya A-Class should of taken this one.

[@gjergj124]

Huge Caustic fan but A-Class took this one

[@summumma]

Wow... A-class robbed! A-class bars aged well while Caustic's bars sound so elementary.

[@sanitary103]

totally agree man..you can't take someone's style away and make them slow down..that's utter bs and takes away people's own unique style..these judges are freakin stupid..if you can't hear the punch-line, pay closer attention I say

[@Londonguy1987_]

a-class is one of my favourites and another grindtime ROBBERY occured damn it, a-class took round 2&3 at least and he had rebuttals every round and his third round freestlye beasted caustic, who fell off in two consecutive rounds. i felt bad for a-class at the end, not only when caustic didn't shake hands but also when the decision was given out, damn these judges >:(

[@user-ld3si9iy6s]

A-class goated, pathetic watching this back not even a close battle lol. A-class 3-0, gross.

[@wikkidie]

Kid Caustic used that yankees stadium line that so many others rappers used, I think it should have gone to OT!!! But on some real shit, i don't know why the judges don't take take points of the emcees that use other ppls lines that really gets on my nerves when there's unoriginality like this in what's suppose to be an ART FORM!

[@KentC013]

No.....i caught all that the first time and felt A-Class got that easy. Kid Caustic is dope but man that was some bs...A-Class won... pretty obvious

[@Kryptsanies]

kid caustic bars= lightwork, unoriginal a-class bars= hard hitting, constant I thought A-Class took all 3 rounds, judges are fucked!

[@Thomas-if7te]

A class clapped the judges get everything wrong smh

[@curtfrmcali]

seriously tho...A-Class was officially jerked! that is all. Caustic came with that dope shit but A-class had better flow, better cadence, and doper punchlines.

[@sonicsoundwaveus]

A Class gets robbed again!!! he's undefeated in my book!!!

[@SuperTruthful]

I watched this battle several times, yes, A Class needs to slow down, but he won this battle.

[@SlickRhythm78]

I like a class but he says AY-yo way to much

[@donkeykong4712]

I like your comment but you misspelled "too"

[@SlickRhythm78]

oops one sec let me reevaluate my life

[@ChickenFriedVice]

dead @ a-class giving himself dap at the end of the battle smh

[@jm5642]

He was trying to dap up caustic at the same time caustic turned around so he played it off by daping himself up instead.

[@ChickenFriedVice]

no shit

[@LikwitSwords]

a class is insane. id like to see him against unanymous, or illusion z

[@mercilessMarksmen]

I think a-class can kick caustics ass in a physical altercation

[@jonmallette1838]

Fresh Coast French Toast thas a nice meal............GTNY shit

[@larsattack]

I LOVE all the anime and video game references. These guys are so nerdy haha. I like the reference to Blanka being a charge character and the Fist of the North Star. Then A-Class with his dragon punch and yu-gi-oh reference lol. A-Class won but very good battle.

[@KhemBoBeatZ]

@keylappy Hey brother!!! I'm a big fan of A-class too. However, I think that some of the judges are right about A class went lil too fast. Therefore, the Caustic took it, cuz the crowd actually understand every words and jokes he mad. A- class all the way tho. No bullshit.

[@sanitary103]

@easyautomotive totally agree..what's with all this, "slow it down" nonsense..this is freaking rap not poetry..that's like telling bone thugs in their prime to slow down 1st of the month or crossroads b/c peeps can't "understand" it

[@sanitary103]

@steven4rmnewyork wtf are you talking about??? A-class is sick man..he's been body bagging guys and on the rise as of late. Caustic was a tough opponent

[@nicccholas]

a class won easy and he didn't even rap fast

[@sanitary103]

@fifthletteris agree 100%. he can't control people talking. he shouldn't have to wait for others to stop talking.

[@jgutta2486]

baltimore stand up a-class ripped dis fool

[@sanitary103]

@blackstersherron...agree 100%..that dumb judge needs to simply listen to a-class' rhymes plain and simple.

[@sanitary103]

@MimicKing LOL, well I wouldn't be as harsh on Caustic..but yeah, his style is different that's for sure

[@ChiefCedricJohnson]

John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

[@freshnshytz]

Still thought Caustic won...

[@KhemBoBeatZ]

@keylappy We do the same shit sometime bro, but A class is a beast tho.

[@kunglaoforcer]

a class was very impressive

[@Ih8thePolice]

@blackstersherron Its more about selling your bars and really projecting them like Soul Khan does. Soul Khan has very basic and average lines for most of his verses but the way he performs them is flawless and thats why the crowd goes crazy over his lines. I agree with you but can see what the judges are saying at the same time, I also thought the Grand Dragon line was ILL and doubt some people caught it.

[@emohkay]

this was a dope ass battle first time i heard of both these cats i think a class shoulda won cuz he had better lyrics better rebutals and a better free at the end but the judges were rite he does need to def slow his flow down a bit

[@Elaquent]

ot in my opinion, however, i can tell that a class wouldnt translate as well live rapping that fast...caustic delivered his shit better, altho i felt caustic had him on content. very very close call, but im not mad at the decision.

[@speciezhiphop]

this was a fucking DOPE battle..perhaps too dope of a battle... if anyone wants to compare the Freestyles.. clearly a-class was more well structured. should've gone to OT just to get a better understanding

[@JurelTheDietyTV]

they shoulda had rone judge, he was obviously feelin a-class....even though he lost to him after this..... if a class woulda slowd a LITTLE....he woulda smashed him.

[@AlbertMagnoMMABJJ]

yea i watched it once and thought aclass clearly got it.. and the judges tell a class to slow down? dizaster talks faster than him...and crams way more multis

[@wokzilla]

back when GT was on Caus' D

[@BrodyzVidz]

@MimicKing Haha, yeah you're right. But i already clarified my typo in a previous comment, it's buried amongst 700+ comments from other youtubers.

[@trooperjoe73]

Damn good battle. I'm not a fan of the decision though. An OT should have been the least they could have done. A-Class won this in my opinion.

[@not_claude_speed]

i like a-class but he says eyo too much.

[@BedStuyBestBuy]

Everyone says Caustic stole the yankee stadium line, yet no one mentions where he "stole" it from. Back accusations up with facts please. It was a good battle. Both mcs are nice. It's funny how everyone says the east coast is biased, yet when someone from the west is announced as a winner, all of a sudden the other opponent got jerked. WTF?? Make up your mind. There is no conspiracy against the homie A Class or any other GT mc as far as I know. It's an mc battle. It's not that serious.

[@TrueDarkSavior]

Caustic was dope with the word play. He came really hard and honestly there are a lot better lines in this battle than the yankee stadium. It was over after that line as that drew the crowd in. I think that this was a good battle. I mean no one blew the other out of the water, but it was a close battle. Caustic got it in my mind, I don't know how everyone else feels, but let's face it, the first two rounds caustic had better delivery and wordplay. Just how I see it...

[@SuperTruthful]

First i read the comments, then i listened to the battle. I thought it was pretty close, if A-Class had slowed down and let his serious punchlines really be heard he would have taken this battle.The judges were right, slow your roll A-class, you're good, but alot of it went over the crowds/judges head. Robbed, no, just not heard! It was pretty close.

[@UrboyJDH]

I enjoyed Caustic but A-Class toke this. Not trying to say it was judged right and fairly but......

[@maggmaxxx]

I feel ya "coleus" I understood what A-class was saying and it was dope. I think he shoulda slowed down a lil but it was cool. I would've given it to A-class but damnit Caustic was dope too!!

[@9107you]

it seem like the judges enjoyed aclass's punchlines and they talk shit about slowing down why does that matter it wasnt a rocket science to understand what aclass was saying

[@umamiali]

shouldve been OT at least....caustic sole half his asian lines from illusion Z and thesaurus. so actually a-class won. good but disappointing battle on kid caustics side

[@andrewnickatina8571]

Can't judge battles by bars only. Caustic had the better performance and edged it. No robbery here.

[@adjaycenthiphop]

If you’re watching this In 2023 I hope you have the worst day ever

[@TheOfficiality]

A-Class got robbed big time. How Caustic get that?!?!?!? A-Class shudda got that.

[@KidMarshall10]

LMAO you saw a-class slap his own hand after the battle hahaha we be doin that at school if some one dont shake yo hand lmao

[@jraymond1988]

@Cpost2010 That's open for debate, but I'd put a bunch of GT rebuttals over Dizaster's, including, but not limited to, Hollow's "chopped and screwed" rebuttal to Okwerdz, Kid Twist's "shamwow guy" rebuttal to Fresco, most of the Thesaurus vs. Mac Lethal battle, and fresco had a good "mind bodyin soul" one against Soul Khan. If you count KOTD, DF, and GB battles, then the Dizaster rebuttal isn't top 10.

[@reckone1999]

a class is nice, he didnt get bodied here. caustic won on crowd reaction, barely. i never have to rewatch dizaster to understand what he's sayin. the same is not true for aclass. aclass, has complex punchlines and wordplay that take a second to digest. the only problem is, he's goin on to the next thing while you're trying to feel what he just said. diz's shit is more straightforward so it dont matter that he raps fast.

[@Itsallsotiresome]

@KingKungFuCantona HOW are you getting "say everything bad about me up front," from that? Its not that at all. I already explained this shit. You don't consider verses that consist of 90% generic asian jokes one dimensional? Its a perspective thing. Unless you've been around asians or are one, you're just not gonna understand it. Heres an actual dope use of an asian joke.. PH/DFD battle. PH sets it up talking about how dumb was ducking battles, punches with no wonder he likes duck sauce.

[@reinsart]

"You besta' take your meds, I'll take my pen and make a lightening bolt strike through your achin' head to leave you Grateful Dead...dragon punch every sushi roll out your bitches coochie hole, hit her with my bruce lee flow and call that bitch my Yugi-Ho" That shit was hot... people definitely slept on some of A-class' lines, he had some heater multies. I do have to say his punches could have had wayyyy more impact if his delivery was tighter. That is why he lost this battle IMO.

[@Jonneymc420]

overtime was definetley needed ...a class won round 2 for sure as caustic took round 1 for sure ...im unsure about the third round ...i feel that this battle needed overtime and rocky explained thsi battle the best ...and i heard everythign a class said teh first time ...so either pay attention and watch the battle ... a class was fuckign murdering that shit and was robbed not of a win but definetley overtime .. a class could ahve won this for sure

[@Ihatethewaythatyou]

What you thought it'd be daps and hand slappin just cause both of our fathers are grand-dragons.

[@RivergateShawty]

that was by far the WORST judgement ever on grindtime. because the dude a-class rhymed too fast???? horrible judgement.

[@shogunais.4354]

lol honestly I used to like A-class..... Now he just holds his breath and spits out as much crap as possible. His punch lines Literally didn't rhyme! damn pretty pathetic. Caustic, well spoken, good tempo, punches hit hard. If you thought A class was anywhere near him.....You should be watching something else....or you're from B-more showing love.

[@puzzledsoul24]

Round 1 A-Class Round 2 A-Class Round 3 A-Class In conclusion, another robbed victory from A-Class.. I thought A-Class won when this battle dropped and still feel the same way.. I guess A-Class's bars goes right over the judges heads.. He was robbed against Eleagle, Kid Caustic, and worst of all Dizaster. I feel bad for A-Class, he keeps getting raped by the judges..

[@kai0shin]

A-class got some nice rhymes...........you have to fucking watch it again to really understand what he was saying. The first time you hear his rhymes, you prob missed a lotta ill punchlines I think it's hard for some people in the crowd (and the judges) to really understand everything... but A-class is a fucking monster

[@reinsart]

No Swag? "I'ma have to end your creshendo properly, super sick hustle get the best dope off me... it looks like Hollow went to the battle of the bay and hit the fresh coast army so hard it knocked real deal in fresco's body"... his flow was on point and that punch hits so hard... the more I listen to this, the more I lean towards A-Class... he came with so many hot lines.

[@SinTaReiUsA]

it should have so he would have got murked even more not hating on ur boy he did his thing but trust me it would have been a bad look for ur boy since he didnt have a OT READY so just enjoy the battle BTW Aclass lost to Eleagle he most likely has aids. "The Only Thing u get charged with is Blanca"

[@KillaHafiz89]

@ThaGiver I kind of thought he lost vs dizaster. But he was setup to rap for 90 seconds per round without notice in advance, which is why dizaster had more content than a class. I would of gave aclass the win just because of his 2nd round. but he is getting robbed too much by rappers.

[@KillaKev110]

Wow..are you fucking serious? Caustic won?! Throw in some Asian Jokes and that'll be who wins. Sorta reminds me of the Dumbfoundead and Kid Twist battle. Go watch it if you'd like to know what I mean. A-Class man, you fucking won this! Time for some new judges.

[@domdom235]

Wow... How do you say ppl need to slow down? Diz has some quick rappingg, Dumbfoundead does the same shit and I've been saying it for a while now and nobody ever complained. That "slow down" shit was just dumb. It was close, could have went to both. I don't care much for either... good battle.

[@chikletz27]

He never took that line from someone, it was HIS LINE. Caustic said it in the Conceited vs. Hollow da Don promo video, after they don't battle it shows some of the better punchlines from bad blood, and the yankee stadium line was Caustic. Check and see it isn't bitten or recycled. Peace.

[@milisav3]

buddie a class raped this son hahaha this is to funny grind time is starting to be rinked just like ahat and other texas battle league this sucks people are just trying to raise there friend its tooo funny caustic got owneddddddddddddd !

[@YuiYD]

fuck man, A-class won fo sho. Caustic is good, hes a funny rapper, but A-class is on a whole new level. He has crazy flow and rhymes. That makes him a real rapper not a fuckin comedian like caustic. Was good but too many asian jokes.

[@ballerKMH2]

@vandomVenom he didn't have to be better all three rounds, just 2/3 lol and yes he definitely got 2/3 rounds. But thats obviously just my opinion, Im just saying its dumb to say it was biased when A-class was the one with home field advantage.

[@LPH69]

actually i take this back. Caustic DEFINITELY out rapped him. just because hes faster does not make him a better rapper, in fact he was supremely stupid in the second round. if he DID rap slower he would probably be able to do better

[@coleus]

ROBBERY. I agree to an extent that A-class was rapping a little fast, but that doesn't over ride the fact that Kid had bumps in his delivery. Sorry to ask, but Is xtruthxinnaxbottlex the only guy in here that doesn't have his head screwed on straight?
