Grind Time Now presents: Passwurdz vs Philly Swain

Grizzlemania2: Philly freestyle powerhouse Philly Swain makes the trip down to the MIA to take on Oakland spitter, Passwurdz.

[@nicklasahlgren2038]

I'm just here to revisit the DAYUM guy.

[@X22689]

That guy and also who ever the "what" guy is

[@mrshendrex08]

R.I.P Pass, Paswurdz passed away here...

[@legendwatters8436]

Passwurdz look like he really did not take this battle seriously lol. Like he was just at a cypher with some homies.

[@JamieKusick]

exactly... if he actually put in the time to write some decent shit he woulda embarrassed swain. he definitely under estimated swain in this.

[@kaarthuisplus]

He looked like that because he was trying to remember his raps.

[@sebastianpizxa1553]

He was too high

[@shawnb215]

Almost 6 years and this shit still buzzin

[@guyprieto1593]

Swain's hype man in the white shirt. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@modestejahsi]

philly swain 3-0 yall sleep his flow unique, wonder why he aint tryna get back on the scene, id like to see him vs bigg k

[@ericrodriguezz215]

Word

[@dawnnicolablackburn]

At his best swain is unstoppable. Reminds me of a philly version of biggie. Dudes Ill! !!!

[@Mcfc2Rich]

Philly was one of my faves back then Bigg K my fav now. HW shit.b

[@sixfourkid]

Just revisiting my Grindtime days. I forgot DJ Craze, a turntable legend was in the building. Salute to Swain heard he made moves behind the scenes in the industry and set to make a return to battlerap. Pass bout to battle for 100k. Dope.

[@YVNGTRXP]

I definitely did not expect Swain to come this hard

[@JamieKusick]

I'm a huge fan of Pass - and he clearly under estimated Swain in this battle. Pass is a better emcee, and could have bodied Philly if he was on his a-game... but, Swain came out and killed it... 2-1

[@YakThaWiseman72]

Pass Nice but he would've never bodied Swain, Pass sound like he always sound in battles.

[@Mcfc2Rich]

Swain delivery on 10. Don't discredit this dub

[@incognitojones9609]

@@YakThaWiseman72 Nah bro I was there live and that is definitely not the same Passwurdz as always. He usually performs alot better than this.

[@YakThaWiseman72]

@@incognitojones9609 Okay but you must admit he took a L though

[@incognitojones9609]

@@YakThaWiseman72 Of course he did. This wasn’t Passwurdz best performance but regardless he still lost here. Philly killed it with his performance.

[@kevincheneau8133]

Don't lie you know Philly roasted this nigga.

[@DynastyRFTV]

philly swain whooped his ass, man damn i loved grizzlemania

[@NESIMELAHMADII]

Passwurdz whas FOCKING stoned I think :P haha

[@lordleo9047]

philly swain is like the black pat stay. lmao

[@The3rdGunman]

The Black Bigg K to me...That really simple style but mad personality and appeal.

[@MrHiMyNameIs007]

"you not on my level im hot as the devil i got me a pebble n*gga stfu" ahahaha

[@jonathanosaurus]

5:03 win

[@thesaga91]

When he said "DOO DOO Brown" that was it for me. SWAN got this, but Passwurdz is a monster too

[@alexkidd401]

Philly destroyed pass. Damn

[@calmediaonline]

When he said the swagger through the roof line 9:05, look at the girl in the back. lol She's cracking up

[@BLAQUE909]

Yall crazy as fuck sayin Swain took this one. Lame punchlines and nothing solid to say the entire battle. Pass spit actual verses aimed at Swain. Squanto...Alonzo...Gonzo ...??? Cmon... if this is the type of shit that wins battles sign me the fuck up. SMH Swain lost this shit hands down.

[@dannymarley5462]

He took the first tho lol

[@Elderscrolls333]

@Lms305 That scheme, as well as Swain's "catch me in yo crib gettin head from yo mom, - It's dad." were probably the funniest lines, I fucking laughed so hard at those.

[@saeedali4441]

Pass's second round is fire.

[@anthonyholmes9547]

Swain won that one pass is corny he only had a little bit of bars in part of the video but swain had bars in the whole video y'all just hating on my nigga swain

[@astrotag1825]

3-0 Philly Swain

[@TheCommunityBMX]

Swain killed him, straight up.

[@daemontrym]

Philly Swain is a hilarious especially in his Hollow Da Don Battle Because It's Dad!

[@anchorbayvinny4182]

Swain with the most quotable one liners ever hahaha

[@JayTellerMundo]

great battle.... side note: Philly Swain has got to be the only contemporary battle cat who has good music.... the intro was a banger!

[@michaelherber3085]

Are there ANY good Philly battles or is he just trash in general?

[@ericrodriguezz215]

5 years later I still fucks wit this. Philly merked the bol Pass. 215 in the building.

[@Smorgasvord]

12:20 - Poison Pen pushed the shit out of Bishop Brigante lmaooo

[@BasketHoop]

I'm just here to look at the chick to the left of Pass.

[@luiscora7042]

OJ Mayo vs Paper Boi from Atlanta

[@TheSwishcheese]

Swain's hype man in the back with the white shirt is hilarious to watch

[@ItDontCost2ShowLuv619]

I remember buying Philly Swain project after the intro 💯💯💯

[@TWIZZTHEWHIZKID]

I need to see Philly Swain & Swave Sevah battle.

[@ChonkUm]

personals vs. generals. pass took that period.

[@aa9655]

the idea is that good personals >>> bad generals however this battle was good generals >>>> horrible personals

[@cykelopz]

Swain won

[@ridinggravity703]

Who else caught the secret hand shake between Swain and his boy afte rhis first round!>! lol

[@Hollywood1127]

12:06-12:13 "Revolution has cooome, REVOLUTION. Time to get rid of Dummb, EXECUTION" "DAAAAMN". The damn dude is funny as hell.

[@phillyswain4192]

lol he mad he mad mad

[@maluvalentino]

I used to think Philly Swain was dope....what the fuck was I thinking?

[@FamLolo205]

I

[@ProdbyIIInfinite]

@DrOCkABlEs ??? i was just sayin why you congradulatin some horrible shit that happened like i get it was a "dope" line so hed get daps for it but it just looks wrong

[@sanitary103]

Did Pass smoke weed earlier in the day? he seemed a bit slow and just not into the battle. I think he didn't come as prepared as he has in the past.

[@datcreepykid]

Man philly swain looked like he was Rollin face hella hard. Him nd surgeon general musta met up outside the venue before the event lmao. R.I.P. Grind time

[@spencersharp]

i felt like passwurdz second and third verse were straight up freestyles..cuz if those were written, dude needs to step his bars up

[@bluescripts100]

Philly got this one no doubt pass was better than passwurdz lol

[@GTNBattles]

Thanks for watching!

[@0thatdudewill0]

"want beef, i bring the shells we can turn this to a taco" is a line similar to a los line.

[@JodySwifter92]

"She won't know the difference I promise you"

[@daniel_najar]

"My aim is on point like a Uncle Sam poster" 🔥

[@Tom4Truth]

that kid behind philly is fucking hilarious, bobbing his head and blinking 1000 miles an hour lol

[@WordPerfectTV]

Swain is crazy, good mix of punches, delivery, and style switch ups. never boring thats for sure. Pass is nice with it too, but I definitely agree that he hugely underestimated P.Swain.

[@sanitary103]

Philly Swain vs Dizaster..make it happen!!!

[@trooperjoe73]

@JiggityJack It's true that Pass called him out on that, but for the battle against PH. Now, some freestyles are still pre-meditated. Either way, nothing wrong with that. It only makes sense to plan a counter attack to an opponent's offense. So, that's what should be expected from these guys. Practice, practice, practice!

[@RandomBoxingGuy]

That waffle line was so basic and wack.......and the crowd was like "woowww"...LMAO Pass usually goes way harder than this, guess he didnt eat his wheaties that morning or somethin...lol..... Swain is average at best but he prolly got this one.....

[@KenEdwardC]

I've always wondered why Swain isn't in the URL i mean he's not a Lil nigga rapper right?? I'm not a fan of Philly Swain even he is a good Battler but i think it'd be nice to see him battle in the URL. Fuck some sh*t up. right?

[@kushroller1]

@thegreatmoto U say off day like these are freestyles (even though Swain had a few) Pass coulda did a little better (this show he was sleepin on Swain) but Swain gettin wayy better and his best vs Pass best= win for Swain

[@KingJohnTX]

See this is what happens when an overrated nigga who's coast hypes him up(Pass) aint on his coast, I've been saying Pass aint as good as people makin him out to be Hollow bodied him, and now Swain did.

[@SikeNawGaming]

Im seriously upset because this could of been a good battle but passwurdz act bored, didnt seem like he was prepared and didnt give a shit about this battle at all. Shame on you passwurdz >:(

[@kushroller1]

Philly Swain vs Okwerdz, SET IT UP!!!!! GT Lebron against Ok (since yall think he hot), I would love 2 see Swain destroy that kid..After this Swain on his murder shit now!

[@Bak3dB3an]

lol, These battles are getting hard to decide. I think they need a point system like the UFC. Aggression, Takedowns, hiccups etc. So it's easier to decide.

[@FrozenFuego]

lol the opening with the girl gettin white liquid dropped on her face.. wtf. who thought that was a good idea? i might have thought that would be cool in middle school

[@Emeezyonthetrack]

If Grindtime had a fighting game who do you think would be the strongest character? I vote Dumbfoundead. Thumbs up so people can answer.

[@trooperjoe73]

"She won't know the difference, I promise you!"

[@kushroller1]

@JiggityJack Regardless of all that, "balls in a cup and give it to yo daughter" wouldnt slide in URL lol

[@BarraLibre]

passwurdz underestimated swain....swains intro song is dope....swains hype got a u-neck on lol

[@JoshPecks500lbDad]

Passwurdz would have won if he took this battle seriously. He didnt take it seriously

[@siwooot]

after watching this i don't understand why url fans brag about these two all the time

[@ATACXGYM]

@tigertic1 Dawg,Pass liked tuh have KILT IT on the 3rd round with real world personals

[@kitrik23]

safe to say poison pen luvs philly swain ... fuckin chill

[@KenEdwardC]

HAHAHA. silly Pazwurdz, when you battle hollow any battler would be a Step Down XD

[@kushroller1]

Is it just me or did everybody skip Passwords verses..especially after the 1st one

[@dune310la]

round 1:swain round 2:Pass round 3:tie,tie?why?the first part of swains verse he had 3 nice metaphores and punchlines at the end he brought creativity and comic to his punchlines mixing it with gangster which it didn't go together with him it was kinda getting corney at the end.....But both did their thing pass is the dude swain is the dude big ups to both them cats,But I saw an overtime round..

[@crescentbrooks]

every battle rapper has a weak performance , heis weakest ever (Lush said PASS had family issues going on at the time & almost didnt make it) but you seen his recent battles with Brixx , rich Dollaz & Skelly? hes improved even more ( even around his Hollow battle & his Daylyt batttle in 2008 he was a beast . (PASS has some of the best delivery , structure , cadnece & patters} hes got a battle w/ Remy'D (URL , Fligh t Klub) commin' up on KOTD - West Coast , on 4/20

[@youcantseej]

Are you serious? I don't know either of these dudes but the passwordz dude was hella wack in the first, his second was respectable and his third he sounded like a female reporter... telling all the other dudes business because he couldn't rap with him. Swain cut his head off in the first the second he just hit him with a strong forearm and the third he played with him. No contest. Body Bag...!!! Why can't people keep it real? Maybe you're from cali so you like Passwurdz's style more. IDK.

[@Omegaman18]

@dagawd100 pass only had bars when he flipped the name.. the other shit he said was wack.. hollow may have used more name flips but he does other shit well and his bars arent based only around name flips being his best material.. he didnt flip locksmiths name much and he lost that battle in my opinion.. he beat daylyt with several flips.. he did well against hollow with several flips.. he lost to philly with no flips.. will you acknowledge hes used flips in more than one battle?

[@Omegaman18]

@dagawd100 lol lyrical ability isnt part of rapping now.. youre changing the definition of rap.. i didnt know i was speaking with big daddy kane.. and of course your opponents matter when it comes to a performance.. if you have your best performances against weak opponents and then when you get your shot with some big names you cant show up that same way then you arent on that same level.. and like i said ive only see pass show up once against a real threat

[@Omegaman18]

@dagawd100 does it mean theyre bias? it sounds like you want any excuse to just throw out opinions that say pass isnt that nice. maybe people feeling that way just means those who think pass won think he only barely won but people who think hollow won basically feel it was a body bag. im not saying it was but you cant just discredit peoples opinions because you dont like their reasoning behind it. if somebody said passwurdz killed illusion z because hes wack then i wouldnt claim they are bias

[@Omegaman18]

@dagawd100 and pass has 2 more votes than hollow in that poll.. its 99 to 97.. so in a case like that im not going to say passwurdz beat hollow just because 2 more people on a rap internet message board thought he did.. ill go with my opinion on that and my opinion has always been that hollow won that even though it was pretty close.. that was by far passwurdz best performance and his only other two good ones were against non-threats (daylyt and illusion z)

[@Jscrila24]

uuugghhh. i stopped watchin real quick so i could post this comment. When swain started off his 1st round i was like "ok ok, swain mite get em!", but then he lost allllll credibility wit me when he said "on point like the uncle sam poster" bcuz either Sean J or Chevy P (field mobb) said that shit already!! I hate when its so blatant, he didnt even try n flip it or anything. Fuck it, back to the battle

[@Jayjee123]

@emericaclay1 no actually thats nothing like saying he would have won it if he would have won it. basically what i said is that if he was consistent and stayed as strong as he started he woulda won that but i guess u cant comprehend coherent english lol. and yea, passwurdz COULD have done it the whole battle, watch his battle against hollow he was consistent the whole way through

[@snipercodyp11]

@Samodrei its not about being gay its about what it represents... it represents u being femine in a place where men gotta be hard and tough to survive.. cause rap is nothing more then the strife of the streets in lyrical form.... so if a actual gay guy got on stage that comes off as.. the hardest descision this kid made in his life was should he tell his parents... hardest desicion i made... buying groceries or paying my bills.. gays get dominated by other guys willingly street ppl gain respect

[@buckleyj27]

Yo when I hear people sayin Philly Swain lost this battle it just makes me think of how many fakeass whack frontin ass people exist in this world. Just use your ears and listen its clear Swain won this battle and hes a beast. How did Pass sound disinterested when he studied Swains profile traveled all the way from Cali to just chill and let somebody clown his name. It aint nobody in Grindtime that comes to chill and not battle. He got baked face it.

[@rocketssuperfan18]

@tigertic1 so when Philly Swain said "my aim is on point like a uncle sam poster" u didnt say ohh or rewind it? I agree that the way he raps is ify sometimes but its his style when someone is a "generic rapper", yall bitch abt how they arent original well Philly Swain is clearly showing his originality and its only Passwurdz's fault that he lost he hasnt battle in like 6 months did he think he was going too get someone big, besides he's duckin DNA so until he battles him, he cant say shit.

[@PheeblePhilosopher]

Just cuz Hollow beat him doesn't mean Pass is wack, it just means Hollow is that ILL. As for this battle, Swain won with better presence, loyal hype-men and preparation. Only further proof that most of the time writtens will beat freestyles..oooohh that makes Philly the dopest, get the fuck outta here with that goofy shit! Swain's average(always has been) & Pass better than this.., disappointing overall.

[@dubbywatersss]

swain, appararentley would rather let that thing squirt..... jk that battle was dope. some of you guys are so dumb, that you think pass didn't care, of course he cares, he just looks realllllly blunted. and i gotta say that this is my favorite swain battle that i've seen. his punchlines are gettin doper ( in my opinion) and he's makin them stick harder. pass was relaxed with way more personals...

[@Paymenow]

@robinlue2008 In a DUI checkpoint, the cops set up orange cones so that all cars go in one lane, so the cops can monitor the drivers better, to see if they're drunk driving and what not. They usually set it up at places that have a lot of traffic going through, and usually on the night of really big holidays that are known for partying (Cinco de Mayo, July 4th, New Years Eve, etc.) When he says Pass stays in one lane, it means that there's only one element to Pass's music and he can't expand.

[@28205kc]

@JiggityJack nah..only battle hollow clearly lost was his battle with arsenal on the lions den..most people think hollow won with pass but ur right..u can debate that..but as far as swain havin sumbody shook?lol hollow ate his ass in all rounds..come on fam..u cant base a battle on that..swain is a aggresive rapper so thats how it appears..he looks like he had pass shook lol..but swain won this easily

[@TookyHV]

swain got this but give props to passwurdz that nigga had some nice lines to

[@GameFaceTheMultitalented]

Damn. Passwurdz really sleeps on everybody he battles and this time it came back to bite him in the ass. Just because he got all personal and spit some supposed facts about Swain, that don't mean his his rhymes were good. Swain out performed him lyrically and theatrically. And won, Dud is the current battle champ of philly right now...

[@KaingNJC1]

@getalifesoon Bro how is that possible philly didnt wow me with anything he said he's got that basic as philly flow that know one cares about rather pass mseesed up or not he exposed the hell outta swain with that court story i just somebody to give me one line this man has rhymed thats complex worthy please thats why hollow made light work of this foo

[@buckleyj27]

@thademented1 I checked some other battles and he seems to fold when theres a better MC in front of him, were both in agreement that Pass lost... but no excuses really. Read my original comment, if he was disintrested he was then also disintrested when he lost to Hollow, and people was like he went in on that one?

[@hottboireflex]

@3nforcerxX Hollow didnt beat passwurdz ..... HE DESTROYED HIM ... made him look like an amateur ... but that says nothings about passwurdz skill ... he is a welcomed uniqueness and is very entertaining to watch .. he did well against even locksmith too .... but just hollow on another level ...where most rappers just cant reach

[@suave_d]

One of the main reasons I don't like promo battles is because some emcees don't take the battles seriously, as we have witnessed with Passwurdz in this battle. Also, look at the Madness vs. Sahtyre battle; Madness didn't seem to care. GT needs to get rid of promo battles, and maybe participants will take the battles more seriously.

[@dascientiss]

@Banks792 ....apparently you've never heard of the West Coast then. I'm PRETTY sure if you went to Oakland or anywhere in Cali, you'd find gangsters who talk like that too...I'm from Diego, and there's a few. Just like you wont find New York slang comin' out a gangsta from Florida

[@kushroller1]

Listen Alfonzo! lmao he knew he got bodied after that Montana Fishburne line

[@kushroller1]

Its crazy Passwurdz best line the whole battle was the Swain impression smfh

[@boogie504]

Thats Philly Swains Homie JJcees son. His Dad is standing to the left of Bishop. He brought the lil homie along, Im sure when you were 13 you were a straight up G doing big thangs. Youre the coolest Tyria, lol TYRIA!? Do you know what TYRIA means? It means TayTay needs Similac. Stop hating.

[@MRIDDLE72]

@TheThankyoujesus word right!!! you better have a GREAT explanation Philly Swain, for your '"lil gay right hand man"' in the white tee next to you....I couldnt stop watching his weirdness... WTF is that about??..............And why havent you been exposed??? haaaa

[@Omegaman18]

@dagawd100 provide a link where somebody says pass lost just because hes a nerd.. and i think hollow won that battle but not by a lot.. so if some people think pass won but hollow did his thing and some people think hollow body bagged pass then i feel the truth lies right in the middle.. no bias.

[@RealBigDeal22]

Again, pass sux. Rule one to make fun of a fat person, make sure is not fit before you go forward. Fit fat ppl dont play around. They are heavyweight and ready to drop their full pound during a fight on the battleground. Im not fat, but its a fact. Plus, philly swain seem fit unlike ricky rozay.
