He was saying that in the video the moment I read your comment. Oh lord did he ever eat those words.. 😂

[@Eziokilla9595]

I think this is the greatest bodybag ever. Okwerdz, like it or not, was about one battle away from debuting on URL, and Rone, out of nowhere, completely derailed that possibility. Not to mention that since this battle, Okwerdz has fallen off the map completely.

[@thatpart]

Watching this battle again after some time. It looks to me that Okwerdz was nervous going into this. He was jumpier than usual. That balance of confidence can mess with you

[@Milkbutter]

Eziokilla9595 Ever? Hm...that's worth some thought. I mean, Conceited vs Illmac, Diz vs Canibus (it pretty much punched a huge dent into his career), Swave vs QP, Iron or Serious Jones vs Jin... Hm...

[@amanSpawn00]

And then Rone got his Danja Zone battle vaulted😂 I rock with Rone but man oh man! Talk about a wasted opportunity. Shoulda tried to battle a URL battler in GrindTime like Okwerdz did. Not saying he can’t win over there. But having a battle with a URL battler prior might’ve made them not vault it Hence why they didn’t vault Real Deal vs B Magic

[@confesorvalentin3687]

In the history of battle rap i have never seen such a mismatch to the point that had rone not spit his second and third rounds vs okwerdz full three rone would have still won, Rone 3-0 all day.

I've came back to this battle many times over, it always amazes me. Such structure, pacing, consistency, delivery. Possibly the most flawless approach and execution of a scripted battle. Rone is a beast for this text-book example of a BODY. Three rounds put Ok' in three consecutive bodybags DAMN.

This was Rones tipping point to move up, and Okwerdz level down unfortunately. Okwerdz actually can freestyle, I've heard him do awesome but his writing has never quite been completely on par with it. Rone really caught a body, People still copping that Brick Tamlin line today. Rones that dudeeee

Honestly I think that Rone is one of the most slept on battle rappers in the game... forget “presence” and being a “real” battle rapper... The way that I see it, the battle rap scene is what the audience makes it and the writing that Rone does is so complex yet simple, that it literally makes me wonder how could anyone think of that and at the same time I’m sitting here wondering “ why didn’t I think of that?! “

[@michaelcheapshot3947]

I worked this event and in person it was even more of a Bodybag than on KZbin. No one disrespected okwerdZ like they did to diz with Swave. They let him rap and he fell on his face. Ok had a decent run against ars Rex and hollow but this battle was his demise. Rone was also at the top of his game here and I really wish he would go back to this style. Also how he came at nilz m skilz was amazing. He needs to do this more often because today battlers like shuffle t and marlo are making joke battling amazing again. Drop the gun bars pick up the joking please rone.

[@TheReviewSpace]

I first heard of Rone around 2009-2010. Okwerdz been battling since 02-03, at least. A cat from from 10+ years ago CANNOT defeat a newer guy who has a more evolved style of battling. Okwerdz is STUCK in 2004.

Best two things about this battle: 1- Rone's bars 2- Money Bagz' reactions

[@Tackleqb]

VANdaRAVENSfan no way Rone is a beast. 3-0 I honestly don't think Rone has ever lost but it depends on who you are talking to. Some URL fans would disagree but come on Rone is better in every aspect of battling. in rd 2 he spit twice as many bars and he covered way way more ground. Akwardz was decent but 3-0 easy

[@Eziokilla9595]

This bodybag was more than just a win. It's a way of showing battlers not to overlook even the smallest of opponents. Okwerdz was one good battle away from URL, and this battle completely derailed all of it. Rone was not favored to win, but he took full advantage of the situation and defeated one of the so-called best in the league. From here, Okwerdz lost to Real Deal, and then completely fell off the map. No one expected Rone to beat, let alone body Okwerdz, but lo and behold, he did it.

ohhhRambo I'll give you that the kid twist battle was a body, I had forgotten about that one until I rewatched it. In Illmac, yeah pretty close. But in Rone vs Thesaurus, It was really close.
