Grind Time Now / Legendary Clothing Presents: Illmaculate vs 9DM

[@Most1ntrigued]

mac is a beast. one of the best to do it. so good and ahead of his time hes never gotten the full respect he deserves

[@PalaGilroySen]

Illmac looks so chilled and jokey, whereas 9DM looks like he's taking it really seriously and personal. Lol.

[@NoCoastRaps]

Illmaculate’s rounds aged really well, as expected.

[@The306]

Thanks GT for releasing this in a timely fashion. Please drop the Only one battle next...

[@BeheadingTheTraitor]

Illmaculate killed this. His bars were insane.

[@JackBensinger]

The Green Tape is honestly one of the best albums I've heard. And it's free??? I would've paid for this no doubt.

[@dallasbagley]

I wanna see Illmac get something lined up for URL.

[@popp1nbottlez]

GREAT presentation. y'all paid the extra bucks and it shows

[@Jasonlords]

This is the best battle I've seen in a long long time. That shit Illmac was doing at the end was so sick I wish it went on longer.

[@hawton1989]

by far the best battle ive seen in a while , MORE LIKE THIS !!!

[@JonFlëtch]

finally a battle worth watchin

[@AsiaDanceScene]

Illmaculate got 2 and 3, but really close. Hope Illmac brings it like this in the Canadian tag team battles...

[@Kraftkolozz]

Green tape is so dope!

[@Ryker_One]

I've been waiting for this all day. Fuck yeah. Team Illmaculate.

[@MrThirtyFour]

Illmaculate has a battle dropping every week... This was a great battle....

[@Londonguy1987_]

That "9d/1dimension/something different" shit from illmac was dope and slept on. Great battle.

[@RhinoDigital]

OMG 1st round body bag. Illmaculate may be the greatest of all time...

[@OGDonJuan]

that was actually dope, i thought grindtime had completely fallen off but it needs to build on personal rivalrys like this to compete with smack coz they have lost a lot of heat

[@06kmm]

"...THEN I turn away from Only One..." LMAO that was dope, creative. Definetly an amazing battle.

[@sonicsoundwaveus]

Illmaculate rebuttals at the end, str8 great!!!

[@pEr5on4LLy]

Illmaculate is amazing. Great battles is an understatement. PLUS he makes great songs. It's like he's got a cheat code for this. Peace.

[@Noxshus]

GodDAMN I love Illmac! This, the Truth battle, RespekBA, the 2v2s in KOTD...I'm glad to see on eof the best active again. Big big BIG props to 9D for makin this an actual match though. Northwest needs more spitters, get Only in the battle circuit.

[@9DMBEATS]

Classic. Fun times.

[@jokes10K]

Illamac.........NUFF SAID.........10K Records

[@jsiegz26]

Good battle for sure

[@wassupit]

9DM is dope. But Illmac is the fucking king of battle rap to this day. One of the dopest lyricists ever, and the top spot in my top 3

[@wassupit]

I may have spoken too soon. 9DM really is dope. Can't believe I haven't seen this battle. I really can't call it. If I was forced to I may have to choose...... DOES NOT COMPUTE< DOES NOT COMPUTE, ERROR, ERROR (Head explodes)

[@muhsick]

@melquana21 yessir. Oregon represent. Trailblazers are all we've got sports wise - no NFL, MLB, etc.

[@Rtv03]

Hahahaha, i loved the part where Illmac and 9DM both did the mean face whn 9 was talking about Manik.

[@LeddieAndSmoggy]

9DM reminds me of Iron Solomon so much, illmaculates a genius though ...His schemes, delivery, wordplay and punches are incredible.

[@Facts_Machine.]

this shit need more views!!!!! its an absolute classic

[@kenohoyt]

I love the awkwardness after the very last verse. 28:38

[@NOLAbrookz]

such afire battle ,, and Ilmaculate 's intro song Lay it Down is SOOO DOPE!!

[@ondraeDaBeast]

The lessen here is use your time wisely! Illmac took the time to make good setups in story form> 9 threw in far too much generic filler in the time he had> 9s good but he left me paying attention to other shit during the fillers.

[@Omnirock]

illmac got some skillz. loving his style lately.

[@siwooot]

this is the best battle i've seen in....2 weeks

[@Jungl3_Tactics]

Illmac has the best rhyme structures, Idk y he doesnt get more crowd reaction.

[@codecrt321]

"Im about to smash this checkers player / and dont call this shit a classic, i could'a took this match-up less prepared /at first he tried to mask it but he's mad, im everywhere / so im'a treat this battle like a questionnaire / cause i feel like i have to check this square" that was sick

[@kobiviray]

that was the best set up i have ever seen. he dropped 6 bars before the punchline. that was wicked. illmac is still on his a-game. SICK!

[@aBlackMan45]

Wow........i was a little hesitant to watch this battle at first....but now I'm extremely glad i finally watched it. I was completely shocked at 9DM. Never have i heard him go that hard. And Illmaculate went just as hard. This one here is a true Classic battle.

[@lamaKlan]

immaculate hands down

[@pEr5on4LLy]

The last part..the freestyle after the battle was done...the bit from illmaculate...the rebuttles there was amazing. Dude is a genius. One of the best rappers ever. Music-wise included. SUPER SICK!!!

[@deebee83]

illmac is the Rebuttal KING!

[@BBeAtZ91]

anyone know where i can find the blazers hat illmac is wearing i cant find dat ishhh anywhere??????

[@jraymond1988]

@mjkingking I agree that Illmaculate's stock has risen since beating Thesaurus unanimously, but I wouldn't exactly say that Thesaurus is slipping. Thesaurus had since beaten Hollohan, got jerked vs. Arcane, he beat DirtbagDan, beat Mac Lethal (although unjudged), he beat Real Deal (although I think Real Deal should have won), and in my opinion, he also beat Cortez. In addition, Thesaurus has been bringing it hard to the 2 on 2's thus far. I think Thesaurus will eventually face HighCollide next.

[@yourboymaleko]

Great to see such a personal battle with good sportsmanship! Props to both but illmac gets that in my opinion.

[@MilesSpatola]

Good battle. Illmac handles "being battled" better than anybody else. Actually shows respect for dope lines. Battle rap needs more of that.

[@ehtfrail]

Doesn't matter who would have won, they both did amazing... and this was a great battle to watch!

[@money763]

@MCdizasta i like this comment, why dont people do these more? i feel like im missing out on quite a few big battles

[@BBeAtZ91]

@inhaledakronic oo shit no doubt, do you know any sites where i can make a custom fitted like that ga

[@ballerKMH2]

Damn, 9DM stole lines from everybody lol. Cool battle though. Glad it came out so soon

[@AllBleektwo]

Damn this division got spitters!

[@radleylefou3541]

Crazy battle. After 2 watches I think Illmac edged it. 9DM's 3rd was heavy though.

[@Londonguy1987_]

illmac was STILL going IN even when the battle was finished.. He had to get those last few rebuttles in, lol

[@TeamFeva]

This one of the dopest battles i seen in a minute!! Cant decide who won though???

[@hero4523]

wow!...I was there and it is just as sick as I (kind of ) remember.....i was pretty trashed ....great battle for sure......stop hatin on the NW everyone, we are not weak!!

[@xJGDIGGLERx]

I like the sportsmanship shown here. They clearly did it for the benefit of the league/division. Great battle. Illmac even stopped the judge from cutting 9DM short in the first round.

[@mailkoff]

rd 1& 2 Illmac Rd 3 9dm Tight battle

[@poulsonkj]

Illmac hands down. I heard half the other dude's shit from other dudes.

[@jraymond1988]

For comparison sake, I think the KOTD battle vs. Sketch Menace/Nebula occurred the day after this battle, but it was uploaded a few days earlier. Either way, this battle was definitely worth waiting for. It's nice to see 9DM step up like this. I think he can be top tier eventually if he keeps it mean and personal.

[@jrkin]

Ill got personal like he always do, he really went in

[@sonicsoundwaveus]

Great Shit!!!

[@richardallenabneywells3855]

I love this happened.. Illmac is 100% real...

[@taajiir123]

Someone please explain The "Turn away from onlty one" line at 10:56.....I don't get it lol

[@trujillo71921]

Illmac straight bodybagged dude!

[@Gregdafro]

Illmac took it easy 9DM, and still won.

[@ToothChipNThrash]

@taajiir123 onlyone is another emcee. him and illmac are both Sandpeople affiliated. the two of em did a double solo album together called Police Brutality.

[@hero4523]

@melquana21 it was right in the middle of the Mavericks vs blazers series....maybe thats why?

[@Nameless999]

Damn this battle got personal....still cool though

[@0thatdudewill0]

its really cool to see how good of friends they are, and how this battle was nothing but skill sparring.

[@Sinner1ner]

@TheTalksick and what line is that?

[@ImTol3y]

Illmac went in on this

[@yeflynne]

2012 isnt a doomsday, it's a period of rebirth!

[@Finglasshit]

1 - illmac 2 9d 3 - illmac best line " ars will have you jumped by crips till your throwing up blood" - sick.

[@MattyMusicNow]

Also, Make sure y'all cop 9DM's new album that just dropped today with Lawz Spoken on Itunes! "You'll Never be Famous". GET THAT!

[@BlackPegasusRaps]

I would love to see 9dm Say some of that Racists shit on URL. Making fun of a stereo type is one thing. In your face Racism is another. That 's hilarious watching a white boy dress black or should I say Urban and use racist schemes to battle. Might as well just came through white hooded up with a cross ready to burn! yall need to like this post! lol

[@Londonguy1987_]

This is such a Great battle... Dope return for 9dm, iLLmac is a Beast, his personal's are straight Ether.

[@TruL1fe]

@ilyaag Conceited said something extremly close to arsonal when they battled. 9dm bit that line from him he just changed it up a little

[@mikiberane]

9DM reminds me of Iron Soloman

[@sakib]

Illmaculate just constantly gets better. Freestyling, he's crazy but his Written game is on another level right now. Heard him vs. Arsonal is in process..

[@yeflynne]

how is "then i turn away from only one" that crazy?

[@TheScottishRoots]

@navidadrocks OnlyOne is a battle rapper also. He's complimenting what sounds like 9, until at the end it's revealed that he's talking about OnlyOne.

[@Alaska2DaBay]

i gave the first 2 rounds to illmac but that 3rd round was so long i'm just gone say it was a tie :D

[@melquana21]

sooo does everybody in Portland just strictly rock Trailblazers gear?

[@robbbyyy25]

amazng battle, def. very personal, great from both sides, tuff to call.....i would say OT

[@LyricalMurderer1]

big ups to GT for the fast upload.....

[@warlock253]

This battles so fuckin sick & close both sides KILLED IT!! DONT SLEEP on 9DMs new album thats shown in the beginning of the vid cuz that shit BANGS!!!

[@roumanobr]

Awww shit man, props to GT for the quick release! :)

[@Captainblindjustice]

9DM got my respect now

[@inhaledakronic]

did illmaculate throw in a diss at only one? "only we goin in opposite directions"

[@Facts_Machine.]

"theres no ignoring that rumor, hes living in kansas, sporting Vancouver. he books a trip to new york n back n couldnt a' made it to the store to grab a Portland hat sooner" thats fire. illmac is beasting with his pen game

[@EgoManiak]

illmaculate is on a whole other level. his music kills, he freestyles like a champ, and he can write battles that really show off his presence. each battle he does is really a battle against himself. i'm always just wonderin if he's gonna one up his previous battles.

[@PressureTZO]

23:44, best part of the battle hahahaha

[@Sincere410]

I can not front but the beginning of this video with that soulful shit sound like it was gonna be fire ! Ima need to hear that

[@stepeasy420]

@micfiends real talk this battle is super good

[@deansgnr]

so respect for 9dm just went up, good shit.... GREEN TAPE IS AMAZING

[@robbbyyy25]

illmac's bars are always over peoples heads, but one of 9DM's best performances... close to call, but for bars and personals id give it to illmac

[@BellMaccas]

That "throwing up blood" line needs to stop being used. I've heard it in at least 3 other major battles

[@garanzbrah]

I wish they'd announce the battles between each other at the actual even so there would be less writtens and more freestyling. Would 9DM have won? What do you think?

[@adambomb51]

I'll be honest, it was between Illmaculate's round 2, and 9DM's round 3, it slightly went to Illmaculate. call it as i see it

[@jesusinawhitetee]

@thalis19 dont make excuses. just because ill battled two other times during the week this battle took place doesn't mean he battles 3 times a week. and they both had the same amount of time to prepair.
