[@ericbaloyo]

lmao

[@purunyeo3742]

you are so right! omg.....

[@MrJBracewell]

Did Tantrum try to call Dumb a nerd right before bringing up Dragon Quest and SC expansion sets?

[@maza3291]

Sam Lee lol they are both nerds lol there was so much content in here. Tantrum actually beat dumb to the starcraft reference - later in the battle when dumb says 'warcraft', it's clear he changed that off top because tantrum had already said 'starcraft'. My fav battle ever

[@joey2765]

Maza nigga you nerd as well lmfao gtfo

[@jonathanarellano5541]

Joey Illz “nerd” lol don’t act like you never heard Warcraft back then

Dumbfounded was slick and funny While tantrum was so aggressive and while they both busted rhymes I think dumbfounded won

[@AbyssProphet]

this is actually how i felt but it could go either way depending on preference

[@emmanueljames1329]

Dumb won the first round without saying anything!! 😂😂😂

[@Masssch]

Super close though. Incredibly funny.

[@yeon723]

I think tantrum edged him out by a round. Dumb had a good last round

[@westsidepeanut3301]

Dumb won by crowd reaction 😅

[@danmurillo4642]

DFD looks high as fuck 😂👍

[@appalochian]

probably is, knowing him

[@Masssch]

This might be the best personal attack battle ive ever heard, completely set on culture, ethnicity and just going wild. Crazy lines in this. Anyway, both dudes, amazing battle. More people have to see this.

[@DylLynn]

Dumbfoundead was incredible, but did you hear tantrum's rhyming? Holy shit. Like 5 syllable rhymes in each of his verses? Props to him.

[@MindfullMC]

Word. His technical ability is no joke despite DFD edging it out with wittiness and calmness.

[@oliverbanes5121]

Only men of culture would notice that

[@yama2359]

You know the video is fucking old when they have a link to there myspace xD.

[@random01759]

Tantrums hype crew annoying af

[@calebmauer1751]

Seriously.

[@3m1n3m5]

that was just illusion Z dumb bodied him too

[@vapensmoke]

8:15 Dumb's third round is still one of the best in GT history

[@VayuTheEmblemOfHonor]

"wearing mickey mouse hands." that line was so funny that even Tantrum laughed at it. Don't think I've ever seen him break into a smile during a battle.

[@H3LLS3NT4SS4SS1N]

honestly both of them really really hard but i gotta hand it to dumb. also, its fucking great how these guys can exchange such (at times) heated bars and then shake it out at the end like real men should...gotta love hiphop

[@bigbusiness0]

12 years later and this ages like wine

[@esh13cuhz]

2016 and still rewatching.... one of the favzz

[@albertoherreros9087]

This is a super classic battle I can watch over and over. Good job to both

[@dksoulstice6040]

This is still one of the best battles I've ever seen. Classic.

[@JayJay-du4tp]

This battle never gets old.. this need to be archived.

[@TONEakaSHOW]

Wow time flies I remember watching these new. Wow 13 years have passed

[@ZayP730]

Its so nostalgic watching vids from 2008 in 2023 knowing how much youtube and social media in general has changed

[@JonxNgo]

Solid battle. DFD gets the win. Other dude sounds like angry Chinese Eminem

[@jayhernandez210]

lmao that sounds like a compliment.

[@JonxNgo]

jayhernandez210 haha yea in terms of his delivery. At least to my ears he does!

[@koraegi]

I don't think that asian thing works if both people are asian

[@ShadowyBlink]

Dumbfoundead is korean and Tantrum is Chinese. But I agree, it's kind odd to talk about Asians

[@flubbers1]

its just to be silly i think

[@hamxz2]

That's the fun of it! haha I make Asian jokes all the time...Still funny haha

[@heaven-ou3dg]

I think that's what makes the whole thing funny and witty. And there r certain Chinese stereotypes and Korean stereotypes so they also kinda used that against each other

[@mebbernier]

It's not silly at all. There is PLENTY of discrimination between Asians of different nationalities. Like Chinese and Korean, for example... There's still plenty of Asian parents that will disapprove of their children marrying an Asian from another country.

[@xSparkShark]

Dumbfound hands down won this battle, but Tantrum had some pretty good lines too.

[@ShimSladyBrand]

Dumbfounded 3-0

[@mosesnyirinkindi2548]

That's real facts.

[@TheYnotThat]

Dumb is soooo brilliant, he's so underrated!! He should be ALL OVER THE MEDIA ALREADY!!!

[@aliciakoh3920]

For me Dumbfoundead won. He was calm, not aggressive, without all that extra use of "shit, bitch, fuck etc." and still killed it. Respect

[@newchapterjesse]

Dumbfoundead is deadly... would be awesome if he did a battle against eminem.. now that would be interesting..

[@javidetta682]

jesse selinger for real but Eminem would won🔥

[@ddvsgd9508]

Javi detta Eminem would lose and I love Em more than the next 100 guys.

[@stevensreptiles5438]

Why does everyone seem to think Eminem is some god teir battle rapper? Like is it because they just finished watching 8 mile and listened to those old ass diss tracks against Ja? Like where is the logic?

[@hongod8731]

Steven's Reptiles have you seen him battle rap? dumbass nigga

[@yeon723]

@@stevensreptiles5438 that's exactly why. Although the battle rap style has changed I don't see how it could effect em. He could do long ass cyphers
