[@mobleymcfly]

"LETS GO HIKIN U TECHNO VIKIN, WHEN IM ROBBIN GET TO GIVIN OR GET RETRO TYSON!!!!!!" that's a monster bar DOPE AF

[@sonnystate5674]

No lie

[@ninetyoner8506]

The whole fresh coast squad is coked tf out in this one lmaoo

[@duffyab]

Checking in in 2022 lol, what a fucking underrated performance for Swain

[@DJSuicidalTendencies]

'I bear bars, bar bearer, like Hanna...' (Hanna-Barbera) Woah! Best line of the battle, and it got slept on by most of the crowd.

[@pookie0824]

Man I grew up with TheSaurus, he's a GOAT forever. ...BUT HE GOT REKT!!

[@sonnystate5674]

I totally agree. Pete's that Guy. Swain 30'd him tho.

[@jartocjanror6591]

Philly Swain is hella slept on!! Both went crazy!!

[@sinistervic]

lol at Swain "Its my turn again?" Acting like he falling asleep on thesaurus

[@ThaVMan]

"Let's go hiking, you techno viking" might be the best set up ever

[@Xxxtentacion_fan21]

Swain 30

[@sonnystate5674]

That nigga 30 clipped him.

[@xifeelxelectricx]

philly swain coming up with all of this in one day is insanity.

[@louiscipher2310]

no body noticed cadillac ron ? lmao, he was all happy holdin down 3k $ thinkin thesaurus was gonna bodybag, then you see him turn pale as fuck when swain rapped, and at the end i noticed ron had dipped out. did he rob that battle?

[@braininahat]

Swain beastin' on dudes. Good shit. I appreciate that talent and effort.

[@mykalscavo]

Swain wins this and kills Passwurds and K shine but no respect.. I dont get it

[@dinkdaplaymaka]

mykal scavo and syahboy

[@liteworknoreaction]

Took a L to pass. His bars n jokes that battle were dumpster juice

[@liteworknoreaction]

@@frenchdoseinthelab566 he live in a bando in Philly so it don't matter lol

[@sonnystate5674]

Ima peep him vs pass right now

[@Meangenehimself]

Philly Swain = VERY underrated

[@GTNBattles]

@BigSpecialK23 word up homie.. and even though saurus had a choke he recovered quick and got it baq... very impressive..

[@catralani]

Thesaurus showed a lot of maturity in this battle. He knew he blanked, and he knew he probably wasn't gonna win, but he was still good natured about it. And he almost always laughs and shows a lot of reaction to his opponents' lines, which is something I really admire about him.

[@swift1sg]

2022 and I'm still rerunning some of these classics that are underrated

[@roumanobr]

5 blocks is actually amazing, any player with 5 blocks on average would be defensive player of the year.

[@Shaythe]

Thesaurus is such a good sport, no ego, genuinely reacts to good lines.

[@lustwaffe9000]

Philly Swain slept on like crazy

[@frankwhite9452]

Swain beasted here, respect to Saurus though - still a legend. RIP Ron.

[@theblacksoapboxxx]

Frank White Cadalack Ron passed away? Aw man. Not surpised but hurt all the same he was nicesty

[@hashcash2302]

caustic starts laughing before swain starts spitting like "this dude is gonna come with some clown shit" then his jaw just drops and he looks hes having an acid trip. get em swain. One of my all time favorite battles.

[@callmeishh]

Swain

[@Valphic]

Lush One gets every single bar any rappers spit, its crazy how much that guy knows

[@yungroo347]

Someone please explain that "i bare bar bar bear like Hannah" line.... Went over my head

[@SlimDBoy]

I honestly didn't expect this to go this way. But I have to start considering Philly Swain be freestyling against writers. They both freestyled here.

[@ReadDoug]

@TheSaurusWins I agree, it's sport, it's all about putting on a show, and that's what you do!

[@Facts_Machine.]

the intro song is dope, pretty much tellin the story of this whole movement from what it plays.. i wanna hear the whole track

[@ceebellz5413]

Yoo that Dan Henderson line kills me every time!! 🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣

[@ReadDoug]

@TheSaurusWins I agree, it's all sport. It's all about putting a on a show, and that's was you did!! this battle was better than I expected.. not that the names were not big, but they both did well, good showing

[@GokaishuSonOfGouki]

street fighter and wrestling references .....I loved this battle

[@trasigast]

Whats the track in the beginning? sounds nice as hell Lush one ? kinda sounds like him

[@thatguy.namedmitch]

I love how Swain has that "I ain't impressed..." look on his face.

[@stojjann1]

Which is the song at the end ?? - really nice beat :))

[@meskalinmaskin]

@Bankallday I don´t get the Robin get to given part though. But i´m from sweden, might have something to do with that. Explain?

[@lomar0058]

this dude swain is becoming one of my fave battlers in any league, his bars and delivery is mean

[@dusty__tdb]

I love how everyone always gets up in eachothers faces and at the end there like "Good job man:D"

[@jaystar4535]

I liked the Part 2:37 - 2:43 LOL I won Three Rounds Today... Philly Swain Won yeah, LOL!! Three Rounds all !!

[@DDR703]

Philly Swains Rounds 4:30 8:37 12:39

[@joslingc]

"That's why they love me in the hood... i'm homemade Iced Tea!" I don't know about everyone else, but I grew up on grape/orange drank and homemade Iced Tea lol. so that line was bodybag material to me..

[@TheRealVictimize]

whats the beat at the end ? iv heard it so many times

[@lyricalabyss]

Good battle. I've never seen Thesaurus get rattled before. Swain was unorthodox as usual, but he had enough hard bars, face jokes, and witty lines to take it. Props to both for taking this battle on such short notice.For everyone saying Thesaurus should retire, if he has time to prep...it's a wrap.

[@gopio9]

Canada has Mindbender reaction we have lush one or had or kind of still do

[@rgjmg070607]

nice surprise upload drect ...i knew u guys werent finished ...thank you..

[@laika2420]

9:03 The look on Caustic's face and Lush's reaction when Swain spits that Hanna Barbera line are perfect.

[@EazyTarantino]

@TheSaurusWins what do you think about swain and his battle resume now? only loss ive seen him take is to hollow but i might be missing something. do you think he could go after dizaster next?

[@Londonguy1987_]

Great battle for such short notice! Props to both these guys.

[@MelCapriel]

this was a surprisingly dope battle tho 1st: The Saurus 2nd: Swain 3rd: The Saurus

[@efunawsome]

Philly fucking swain that last round was heat...

[@rapperyoungb]

What was the significance of the line Philly spit at 9:05?

[@TremendousSax]

"I bear bars/Bar bearer/Like Hannah" It's just dope wordplay. Hannah-Barbera was a famous animation studio. The rest should be self explanatory.

[@mazer2006]

@yungroo347 Correct me if im wrong but I believe that was a reference to the animator hannah barbera?

[@teddyjex]

This was dope. I'm usually rooting for Saurus but Swain was all over this. GJ

[@babyboikal]

Lush's face at 11:39 is the funniest thing i've ever seen .

[@jsolis19]

Never heard Thesaurus stumble like that. But Swain went off either way. Crazy battle!

[@The12structures]

'Ion't give a hoot' ... Bring Philly Grind Time back I'm trying to make a visit.

[@Timothy]

Philly Swain was nice, but i mean cmon, Thesaurus took the battle when Dirt cancelled. He was dumb for that, of course Swain is gonna have a bunch of lines that he can use on Thesaurus.

[@TheSaurusWins]

45K in 5 days is a pretty good look. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO. also, "get retro tyson'ed" might be the best line of 2011 so far

[@felony077]

wat happn to the thesauras i knew ? like the one that i was exited to see rap battle?

[@ProtestTh3Hero]

Ignoring the choke this was actually pretty cool. Good battle. Also Lush's intro was sick

[@tCruzin4Lyfe]

I wish Swain came like this in every battle, good shit.

[@babyboikal]

Lush looked JUST like Steve Carrell when he took those glasses off . lol

[@MrNapt]

what is this song in the openiing?

[@TraineeCA]

@TheSaurusWins Much respect. Takes a real man to admit you lost.

[@henrysour]

"In West Philadelphia born and raised" that shit had me dying lol

[@pirana50]

@ anyone..what is the lush track intro at the beginning of the video>?

[@boratfrosty111]

lolll why is icarly in the tags, and whats the intro song

[@popp1nbottlez]

haha it always makes me chuckle when i hear lush say "we got our one millionth view!!!" @ 0:15

[@lafairweath3]

"wake up and smell the Maxwell...nigga" one of the quotes of the year

[@DarkKnight1407]

Both of em are badass, I underestimated philly but he came thru, props!!!

[@laika2420]

This is my favourite Philly Swain battle yet. Goddamn.

[@SikeNawGaming]

"That's why they love me in the hood I'm homemade Ice tea!!" WOW XD!! Im surprised that Swain really did kill Saurus. He needs to make more battles :D

[@DaProdak]

Cadillac ron is actually a minicooper

[@FowlJerms]

though Saurus lost to Cortez his follow-up battle against Mac Lethal was awesome.

[@zakolebalsya]

What song on thebeeshine? Help!

[@hashcash2302]

Pilly Swain is nothing but RELENTLESS for 3 rounds start to finnish. My God.

[@boratfrosty111]

whats the intro song by lush?

[@Villis411]

philly swain is one of the illest dudes in battle rap, period, his delivery is incredible

[@AllBleektwo]

Swain spazzed out, Thesaurus had fun wit it! Good battle, and a good vibe!

[@209twitch]

@14Krazh14 hanna barbera, which is an old school cartoon company that showed shows on Cartoon network in the 90's is the only thing i can think of...just my interpretation of the lyrics though, it could mean something else

[@puzzledsoul24]

@DelMonCrew URL is SMACK.. SMACK been out much longer than Grind Time. Where do you get your information from?

[@PhenomAJ]

Kinda hard to say that. Disclaimer: SAURUS had one day to prep, Swain already had bars. Listen to how much general stuff he had. This is why they made PROMO battles.

[@TheStampeder]

Thought he wrote for dirt from Upstate NY.

[@Omnirock]

oh my god, the most entertaining part of this battle was the introduction... it's like watching the first half of Intervention

[@JustDoItScott215]

PA all day representing on the west coast lets get it 215 aphillyated #pleasedontdickeat

[@emericaclay1]

@ thesaurus why do guys that sweat so much where two shirts? lol...great battle!

[@IamthesilentGyge]

I think that would be a huge compliment to any real man, Knowledge is power. besides that lush is the biggest nerd in the battle scene, that man comes from money and education, its written all over him.

[@JohnTheFierce]

This was a great battle! Even though TheSaurus had a "little" choke, I didn't count that against him. He recovered & came back with a nice freestyle, and overall he did a good job. TheSaurus is a legend in the game! Philly, on the other hand, was just on fire. He raps aggresively, and at the sametime he ties in humor along with his grimey bars. Therefore, that makes him "Philly Swain". The win goes to Philly, but props to both MCs!

[@BearUneek]

Haha That Kung Fu Panda line was actually pretty dope..haha and I like how at the end of the battle Swain's got his mean mug on, and as soon as it's done, he throws on the mad grin and daps with The Saurus haha comedy. Good battle though none-the-less

[@ruggedness]

Only Philly Swain can rhyme ''Peter'' and ''Liter'' and make it sound funny as fuck lol...Props to both for taking this last min ...good battle

[@XeIpherpolis]

For those of you asking about the Hannah barbera line, its real simple. "I bear bars,bar bear like Hannah" as in Hannah Barbera (bar bearer, or bar bearah) get it? Bar bearer? It's really simple

[@newyoutubechannelonhaiwalt2091]

thats funny thesaurus does look like dan henderson

[@BL4ck0u70ff3]

@brickstyles Lol have you seen any of philly swains other battles?

[@NesKonLethal]

@Drect When are you gonna battle Organik? That would be sweet!

[@rickiefitz]

This is classic Lush Uno, Dayum.

[@Rubixxkubiks]

I wonder where Cadalack Ron went.

[@toootricky]

@Wobbothe3rd But Swain had bars for Dirtbag, so he just used a lot of that. Saurus was starting from scratch.

[@GenesisRockwell]

@smalltown650cemetary "i bear bars bar beara (bearer, like a holder) like Hannah" (Hannah Barbera, an old school cartoonist who created The Flintstones, Scooby Doo, The Jetsons, etc.) It's basically just a play on words, but he came correct with it.

[@solomonitani]

The fast forward in the first couple of minutes is really funny... SWAIIIIIIN. Thesaurus is the king, though. He wins and looses, but even when he doesn't prepare, his battles are very entertaining.

[@BHBoi]

Swain all day. Lyrics are important. Swain actually mixed his gun talk with some dope bars. Plus he had way more charisma and energy

[@SG35418]

Dirt vs Swain is going to be MADNESS

[@TheStampeder]

10 years ago maaaaaan 🤦🏾‍♂️ I would have enjoyed that battle between the two. Dirt and Swain would've been epic !!!?

[@dr_redbanRL]

funny when lush grabs the mike and ron holds onto it for just a second too long- WHATA DIVA
