[@MacLethal]

I saw this battle live. The energy in the room simply can't be captured with a video. Easily one of the best battles I've ever seen. It was electric and the rebuttals didn't fucking stop.

[@kyleo5275]

I agree. Definitely one of the best. You're the man mac.. You're battle with Dirtbag Dan was the first written/prepared battle ive ever seen.

[@NevikPaintball]

me too. dirt vs Mac was the first battle I've ever seen.. been watching ever since

[@jason3714]

You need to jump back in the ring Mac, call Organik KOTD needs you, BTW you are the only reason i know about battle rap. You vs Okwerdz was my first battle

[@JulyCausesCancer]

Mac Lethal yeah you need to battle at The Bunker

[@Arthur-rf6rz]

Classic. 2 DOPE MCS. And unlike today, you can tell they were talking to each other

[@SeanDiRocco1]

I love coming back to these old skool battles. i enjoy them alot more then 95% of the new format. Pit > Stage

[@kashkhan7395]

Morgan_Fucking_Freeman gt yt gggggggvvgvtvvggvtttttttvtttttttt tyytttt

[@CWeaveLyrical]

Definitely. I'm hopping back in the ring next month for the first time in 6 years and I told them I don't want no stage. lol I want the old school pit with people circling around you. Nothing better.

[@juliuskhan814]

Omg this is high school nostalgia

[@Pyrotech777]

Some of the KOTD and other stage battles are exceptional. It honestly depends on the environment and the atmosphere imo. With the right energy a stage battle can be just as hype. Dumbfoundead vs Conceited comes to mind as a pretty good one

[@KtotheG]

I enjoyed battle rap up until '06-'07... the new written and long pause format with the aggressive, fake gun bars disgust me. If it ain't freestyle, it's not a battle.

[@beastvin]

timeless battle...infinite replay value

[@GTNBattles]

Vinny Guarino yep

[@victormorales4049]

vinny,you watch battle rap?salute.

[@ozzee5094]

[@JhonDollar21]

I love Nocando's style yo.... He doesn't get near the respect he should get from todays battle fans. smh kids don't even know he's cold in any format you put him in.

[@CNRhKXtreme]

Each time I watch this match, it gets better and better.

[@GTNBattles]

Thanks for watching!

[@cesarescamilla7660]

I come back to this battle every once and awhile. Classic!

[@StrasnusDude]

i miss these kind of battles, writtens with freestyles

[@iAmTakeNote]

Damn Daylyt was for real about the gun with no bullets.... lmaooo when I first seen this battle nobody knew Daylyt

[@نوحسام-ت5م]

Shit man

[@wordswrite8862]

This battle is legendary. So much history behind it. I can just imagine the energy live...because I can feel the energy just watching it on the computer. Watched it when it first dropped, 10 years later, still love it!

[@Noxshus]

Nocan has some of my favourite lines EVER in this battle, and they're all rebuttles. What a fucking monster.

[@Unlmtdprogress]

Alot of what he did was freestyle which is insane. He's just insanely talented but you can tell he had alot of diff small verses he put together that he wrote too.

[@jordans.8171]

I love watching Nocan battle.. you can tell when he freestyles and its fucking better than most people's writtens... his written style is also very unique and poetic. It's a fresh change from the typical over aggressive style.

[@tmproductions9423]

diz is the best freestyle battle rapper listen to his battle with dna

[@TheGrimeekid]

+T&M Productions diz has freestyle battled nocando in the scribble finals and nocan one bro

[@TheGrimeekid]

+TheGrimeekid won*

[@lucapachee9863]

I really liked Nocan as a battler. His music is pretty bad tho

[@wintermute8315]

Nah, Nocan had some tracks - especially compared to Diz.

[@p00nski.gaming]

I never realized Diz's shirt said Truth & Rights on it. That makes his whole freestyle at the end so much crazier

[@MRIDDLE72]

You see his 3rd round since Iron Solomon? He got respect after that. Talking that Zionist, Banker, 911 shit. That truth everyone ignores!

[@p00nski.gaming]

MRIDDLE72 I was talking about Nocando's freestyle. Of course Diz is a battle legend. I just miss the freestyle battle era a bit. That's why I am always impressed by Nocan

[@flamemojis]

cuz its bs

[@money763]

The Jin line still give me the shivers after all these years... best off the top ever. Shame nocan stopped battling

[@UnbiasReview]

Diz is hilarious in this battle.

[@babyblueLEGEND]

Your Daylyt piece is outstanding.

[@beanut.putter]

babyblueLEGEND absolutely it gave 12:00 some insight, and sent the replay value through the roof.

[@babyblueLEGEND]

mcneumz Exactly.

[@alexgalal5990]

ahha if u think hes funny in this battle go watch his battle with SMP thats the funniest shit ever

[@paullaney3339]

Trash

[@edwardwellds7472]

Nocando is hella underrated he had diz in his feelings

[@nimbus9954]

Whatttt diz always in his feelings, nocan was the one talking between bars lol

[@ScooterAKalldayy]

They are friends and they were both using personal attacks. They are both really young here too so it’s expected

[@cuffthemoneyrecords3749]

Very underrated battle 🔥

[@chrissullivan6572]

Yes it is

[@gmr7494]

Nocan's secound round was legendary....elite penmanship, along with elite freestyle. Dude is very talented!

[@Freddy1992100]

One thing i love about dizaster during his battles is his BODY LANGUAGE..it conveys his material so much more powerfully and with much more conviction

[@Freddy1992100]

nocando was still pretty good though

[@jhazemusic]

over the years i gotta say this is one of the best battles. every round was just amazing. major props to both MCs for bringing their best. this is definitely one of those battles where you can say there were no losers

[@JonathanEvans1977]

"whoever gave you you fashion tips, was on 800 acid hits". 😂😂😂.

[@TPBCollector]

NoCan's verse has been one of my top 3 favorite verses of all time. His rebuttals were sharp, the anime scheme visual was insane and of course you have to take into account who he's going against, the time constraints of a 1 week prep and the overall era of battling at the time was very 'fun'. Still existent, much of that 'fun' has disappeared. As much of a fan I am of people exposing others, hitting hard with personals (Caustic), people will go to the extent of making shit up these days about other rappers just to get a reaction and if that's the case, it's just a storytelling competition - who's fiction sounds the most non-fiction. I'm glad this battle is up, I watch this once or twice a year to remember when shit was still 'fun'. It's a travesty it hasn't hit a million views yet.

[@tuanisthename]

i've been thinking about why KOTD seems so corny with their all-black street wear. i think part of it is that toronto is east coast, and the east has always been more uptitght than the west

[@X22689]

Im right there with you bro

[@Paris__Michael]

Buddy if your still ACTIVE W/ this KZbin thing, CHECK the *NUM-BERS* NOW 😀😀😎!

[@jesusf8362]

Ive been looking for a rap battle that was possibly against Cadillac Ron. It was a long hair dude with a beard, Had good frees sometimes wore a cap and sun glasses, bars were simple. No multis just enough to get him by. Any info on who it could possibly be would be greatly appreciated

[@atthewhiskey]

This is my Favourite event of all Time. My Favourite battle.

[@humblepie2307]

agreed about the battle part, likely the event part when I think about it - respect

[@GBullockNC]

It's 2015 and we want the "DAYUM!!" guy back.

[@Koksfrillan]

My first battle i ever watched , 10 years damn times flies i miss the golden years of battle rap

[@thekeyboardmaster2487]

I swear Nocan is one of the hardest GrindTimers period.

[@adambrydges1040]

This is when Diz was just making his climb to the top, what an insane career he's had

[@isaaca1036]

Watching this in 2016 is awesome! They had so much history. Grindtime was the shit back then!

[@tyerker]

Coming back to this battle all these years later, I have to think this is my personal best battle of all time. Always entertaining and always delivers. An incredible moment in time for Grind Time and battle rap.

[@aviavi4717]

Diz killed it!! Respect to both Mc's, but Diz the man!

[@Hurracanes1]

One of the most underrated battles ever. It had all the elements a battle should have.

[@Mcfc2Rich]

One of the best battles ever. Back and forth the whole time. Freestyles, bars, delivery, punch lines, this' got the lot 👊🏻

[@thecooleststufficouldfind]

2017 this is still better than some of the new stuff. This is when Diz had competition.

[@thecooleststufficouldfind]

2-1 Diz by a small small margin.

[@AshBashSneakers]

2017 and I STILL come back too this battle

[@deana9826]

Beautiful. And these two truly respect one another. Great battle and so much off the dome. Gotta hand it to them

[@mopmop_27]

1st Round Diz 2nd Round NCD 3rd Round tie Epic battle.

[@GTNBattles]

MopMopBHV definitely epic

[@mgiddens1000]

at best for Diz it's 1st round tie 2nd round nocando 3rd round tie and that the best I can give Diz ...... his shit sounds the same no matter who he battles

[@222JJJKKK1]

+Maurice Middens his shit sounds the same no matter who he battles? so does every other artist in a sense the content is different but they all have their own delivery and style

[@Princess-no1lu]

Cyborg Boter diz always win

[@X22689]

I can see that..this battle was tennis or ping pong..one hits the other hits back

I still come back to this every once in a while. Nope I can't do without it.

[@FunkGizzDK]

Who is the guy who keeps sayin ''WHAT'' when diz is spittin? its funny as shit lol have noticed his presence in a couple of battles

[@LetDalvinCook]

Lool shouldve heard him in the soul khan vs madness battle "DAYUM"

Ive always wondered this for many years . sadly the answer seems to never come to light

[@incognitojones9609]

@@X22689 I was there live. I believe if I remember correctly it was an individual in a wheelchair.

[@Eziokilla9595]

This was a hell of a battle. I think it was close, all the way down the line. Diz is the only one of them who is still on the battling scene, so I guess Diz got it, but Nocando was crazy.

[@gylestill8706]

The old dizaster was the best. Hands down

yep

Not according to locksmith 😆

[@MasamuneStreams]

I remember watching this battle when it initially dropped on KZbin and it's nice to know it's aged like fine wine. This is definitely one of the greatest battles of the Grind Time Era no doubt 🔥💯

[@tyerker]

I've watched this battle seriously 30 times now. Nocan's freestyles are SICK. Dizaster kills it like usual, and you can tell these guys have a lot of history and ammo on each other. This is the single best battle I've ever seen for entertainment value and rhymes. If anyone has one they think is better please tell me, but I've seen my fair share, too. ;)

[@KtotheG]

Justice vs Thesaurus at Scribble Jam was dope af

[@prod.tyjezz5701]

After watching Diz vs Danny_M I came here to reminisce the battle that made me appreciate Dizaster 😁 #2019

[@Lavabasedlord]

Me too the first battle I ever watched of him then I knew he was going to be a beast

[@wizzles1]

Dizaster's Flo-Rida/ ghostwriter/ Fort Minor rebuttal is absolutely crazyyyy!!! Both Nocan and Diz are legends. Anyone who says that they're overrated either doesn't know their history or doesn't appreciate certain crucial aspects of battle rap and hip hop in general.

[@guyprieto1593]

Nocandos 2nd verse is legendary.

[@202pie]

I wish nocando still did battles

Honestly this is still my fav opponent against diz! I cant even say 2-1 to anyone cuz this is how a battle should be, Diz killed it at the end but this is one of those battles where they could of gone OT, im sure nocan would still have some dope flips after diz's 3rd, these two are what battle rap is supposed to be with only 1 week prep too? shiiiettt I call a draw

[@BURCHDOGSHOW]

I'm guessing Diz and Can were friends?

[@7evIam]

Not at all...

[@samandhaydenmusic]

nocando talked way too much through diz's rounds

[@jeanphilogene585]

Sam da ripper that’s why diz won

[@NACYKABLYAT]

That's an automatic L in my book.

[@JOHNYCRAFT79]

Not MANY has/can go blow for blow with Diz like Nocando did..but I think Diz gets the W, he edged it with being a bit more unpredictable with wit. And Nocando wasn't exactly flawless, he tripped up @ 20:18 "..the GIRL your FACE makes..." But yeah we know what he meant. Both incredible freestyles!

[@3spressoShot]

It’s harder to keep it straight when it come off the top like nocando.. obviously diz was formatted better and more polished (since it’s written) which is why he wins but the fact that nocan even made it close considering it’s 90 percent freestyle is very impressive . He’s def one of the best freestylers of our generation

[@akashuriken]

I keep watching all these leage battles, but always get back to these 2 ...still one of the illest battles ever

[@skorpyo331]

Epic Battle...Both equally good dont always see that in a showdown. So much fucking energy.

under appreciated era in battle rap HIP HOP

[@TheUltimateRage]

+CLK DA SLINGA This was the best era imho, but today's era is still pretty tight too. Glad to see Diz vs. Solomon finally goin' down!!!

[@amanSpawn00]

Unsure on how reliable this is, but I heard since before the Gjonaj battle, Dizaster is trying to get a battle with a pioneer of Hip Hop, more specifically DMX.

[@TheUltimateRage]

Kalamite Don't wanna see it AT ALL!!! DMX is lookin' SO BAD these days! Get X away from the crack pipe and then we can talk lol

[@amanSpawn00]

The Ultimate Rage thats what I heard. But get X in a great mood, he could bring it back.

[@TheUltimateRage]

Kalamite Idk I still wouldn't want to see that. X is dope but he's not THAT dope, and his first battle back in the ring shouldn't be against the likes of Dizaster. He should start small. Get him a battle with Cassidy or Fredro Starr or something.

[@themanwiththeplan1211]

Dizaster is so much fun to watch!! Diz is a true beast still.

Nocando and Will Smith have the same facial expression when they're trying to look mean.

If some of the things they were claiming were true are actually true how can you dap each other up after the battle? I've seen this in so many battles.

imma twenty ton terror on top of Tokyo towers with two titanium tentacles= holy damn

[@NoelTeruGibson]

It kinda saddens me folks nowadays think Diz won this - Nocando had a flawless performance IMHO, I felt like most folks were saying that when his first dropped. The hentai scheme was next level for its day - Multiple Mid round rebuttals - why is when Diz goes against an MC who outshines his freestyle ability (DNA also) fans can't admit he took an L?

[@TheUltimateRage]

Yeah because DNA saying "something something" TWICE was really dope right? foh lol

[@JhonDollar21]

nmryda Lol you're right he automatically loses for saying something something TWICE. Automatically!! Chop his hand off too, how dare he say something something!! That's the worst thing you can do in a battle!!! DNA should be killed.... Catch the sarcasm? It's a hour battle and the first and only thing you say about him is when he said that lol get outa here it wasn't bad AT ALLLL and Diz has done wayyy worse it's no different from Diz stopping for 13 breaths every bar.

[@TheUltimateRage]

YouMad Homie Yes, Diz has done way worse, such as in his battle with Shotty Horroh with terrible freestyles or his battle with Locksmith where he chokes, which is why he lost those battle. In this battle, DNA has a LOT of dead spots and nonsensical bars (esp. in rounds 2 & 3), so saying that DNA won vs. Diz is preposterous! Sorry if you don't understand how to properly judge a battle. Oh, and, yes, saying nonsense is nowhere NEAR the same as stopping for breath in a battle! lol nice try though. Thanks for checkin' out my videos btw.

[@SwagginPenguin]

I thought diz won the first round since nocando was warming up but nocan came back and took the next two easy but diz definitely bagged the fourth so 2-2 draw

[@TheUltimateRage]

Anhelito Ten What are you talkin' about? It's only 3 rounds.

[@pointsoffbarseverthingelse9919]

SCORECARD: Round 1:(16-13,Diz). Round 2:(19-14,Diz). Round 3:(23-18,Diz). NoCanDo is one of Dizaster's greatest rivals! These two have a long history together coming up in Battle Rap! Much props to both Emcees!! DIZASTER 3-0...

Best battle from grind time

[@nicktaramusic]

this is probably one of the illest first rounds dis has ever had

[@supremeblack1994]

his first round againd DNA is deff his best round ever

[@nicktaramusic]

true true. that one is kinda a hard one to beat

[@geenoh1s]

his only round against QP was also amazing

[@supremeblack1994]

geenoh1s true but that is also because he was dissing DNA. I hope to see this Dizaster again against PAT STAY (the diz who prepares) Cuz Dizaster is a beast when he prepares!!

[@geenoh1s]

yoo gogo i really liked his soul khan scheme as well as the whole "soul khan put you so far in the ground, i'm gonna need the coastguard and a sonar for your bone shards to be found." or whatever it was. sick. if diz comes with it against pat its going to be an absolute classic no doubt

[@myian76]

One of the top 3 battles I have ever seen. I come back and watch it every so often. A battle this close could be argued either way, but I think NoCan's personals were kinda overwhelming and trumped the hyper imaginary murder scheme bars. Great job by both though....
