QP vs Soul Khan ( REMATCH ) - GTX Rap Battle - Hosted by Lush One & DelMon Crew

[@dannyapeshit]

That Soul Khan "13 years ago" scheme sparked some life back into the battle rap world.

[@Jaryism]

Yeah that was fucking fire, that caused a rumble.. I miss those schemes like back in day that just bring the house down, that was a rare moment that was executed just perfect.

[@shadowpimpin-_-121]

His first was good but Khan's first was 🌋

[@whoknows4379]

​@@shadowpimpin-_-121 No it wasn't. It was wildly basic, gimmicky, shockless shock value, and surface level cringe inducing bars. Quantum 30d him. Clear. Their writing isn't anywhere near comparable.

[@NameAvailable]

“13 years ago your girlfriend was in 2nd grade” is the kind of haymaker you just don’t get to hear anymore

[@bringinthedope5929]

​@@Locksmith92 lmao that is a funny take, considering alot of dope battles took place this year fr.

[@bringinthedope5929]

How long is awhile? because max out 3 wasn't that long ago, I thought this year provided quite a bit of great battles.

[@ebinflo102]

@@bringinthedope5929Facts! I was just about to say that every single battle on Max Out 3 was excellent, and had no filler. This event was crazy, and Blackout was even crazier! We got classic after classic this year! 😎

[@NTSTS0]

i'm just a loser who doesn't like battle rap mostly so it's probably been at least a year or something lol@@bringinthedope5929

[@NoCoastRaps]

Admittedly was a little skeptical when I saw this match up only because the first battle was such a classic that it's so difficult for a rematch to live up to that hype - but this was great because it showed how much they have changed and how much battle rap has changed in that time since the original match up - and it stands on it's own merits with how entertaining it is as a battle.

[@arya721]

[@shadowpimpin-_-121]

Well said

[@samspade313]

My sentiments exactly!

[@Arciniega5k5]

The show of respect was crazy

[@Lanmind90]

Huge respect to Soul Khan for coming back and continuing to improve after the Diz battle. QP has always been one of the best. It's really great to see these legends still doing it. Thank you to everyone involved in this event.

[@knlei1]

hes been back and improving

[@shonesanchez6636]

Can you explain the “ I want to build a snow man , so if icy (I see) carrots , let it go and Elsa leave you frozen” part? I only caught the icy carrots part if that’s right. Sorry for being dumb @17:35

I remember falling down the battle rap rabbit hole 10 or so years ago and was super into it for a while then stopped watching. Coming back and seeing this. This is a treat.

[@uchechukwuibeji5532]

Same...just about. My consistency in keeping up in battles started around 08-09(when GrindTime was hot). Then I just stopped keeping up with it around 2017. This is literally the 1st battle I've watched in like 7 years. Lol.

[@doedoewski1939]

​@@uchechukwuibeji5532very similar for me as well. there's been some cool battles recently. I got that old battle rap feeling occasionally lol

Yeah that was absolutely hilarious. Honestly kudos to him for being such a good sport all battle, both of them really..

@@thediaz07 What??? No way, he did great, he had to shake off some rust when he first came back. But look at his battle vs A Ward that was his second battle (after that horrible one against Diz), he did amazing and debateably won that. I think you're either biased or just dumb.

[@abdessamadzahidi2330]

same here first battle i ve ever seen!

[@BallCDO]

Hitman vs Arsonal is what got me hooked to battle rap

[@ebinflo102]

Are you kidding me w this?! What a stellar rematch I’d never thought of in a million years. Definitely glad y’all did tho! Big up GTX and the entire team that put this event on. Lot of these battles got slept on, and will have much replay value for years to come. Nuff respect! 💯 Edit: In case it needs to be said Quantum Physics got one of the top pens in this battle rap ish, and it’s amazing to see how many different legends were built off the back of that word association / complex scheming that he damned near invented as far as I’m concerned. Dude’s a kingmaker … the kingmaker will always be more powerful than the king in the long term. 💯

[@adamrothgarn3236]

That was entertaining as hell. These GTX battles really have brought that Grind Time feel. Thanks to y’all for putting em together.

[@gwkonyoutube]

This is the first battle since Soul Khan returned in 2022 against A Ward where I feel like Soul Khan was in truly top form throughout the whole battle, he was really in his bag in here and as a whole just put on a complete performance. The confidence was reminiscent of the old days

[@ippolit4262]

It's still a sad cry from his prime if you really think this is a complete SK performance then youre lying to yourself dude used to land big punches every other line and his flow was impeccable...he's a shell of himself battle fans will call anything a classic I thought it was a fine battle, not special..few haymakers from both

[@amanSpawn00]

@@ippolit4262what? This IS prime Soul Khan Only difference is, he’s not calling others feygits😂 In fact! His pen game has gotten sharper Saying Con’s next battle will be in the Quantum realm? Is stupid fiyah If you don’t get that bar, look up the superhero called The Atom

[@gwkonyoutube]

​@@amanSpawn00 Lol exactly the crowd was really feeling this battle and he did solid I don't get the complaining here

[@whoknows4379]

​@@amanSpawn00 Quantum still 30d him here. And to be honest, he won their first battle too. Khan has nothing but shockless shock value/jokey/gimmicky bars that fall flat. No substance. QP > SK

Amazing how clear and precise QP spits every line considering the complexity of his rhymes.

[@Jaryism]

He has a natural skill and scheming very clearly.. naturally good delivery, agreed

[@harrydavey9884]

Yeah, he's fully brilliant.

"Cuz time is money, bitch, but money isn't time" Soul Khan came out swinging! Qp did his thing too but I bet it had to hurt him that entering this battle it looked like he had the upper hand but Soul Khan came out and had haymaker after haymaker. Loved this battle. The nostalgia was crazy.

Qp won PERIOD

[@cruelolol]

Rap battle won. You can tell this was for the fun of it.

[@harrydavey9884]

Soul Khan is just SO basic. No word play, no complex rhyme patterns, no crowdwork, nothing at all. His entire thing is angrily shouting like a Baptist preacher some extremely basic 1990's style disses. He's just not a talented guy at all.

He doesn’t hit the angles you WANNA hear. He goes for what’s unique or interesting to him These 3 things, is why fans don’t see him in that light. Even IF you think he IS in that light

I still think Soul Khan's battle vs A.Ward was still his most fire performance, he really went hard that one and had zero slip ups. But agreed this is probably maybe 2nd best since coming back- his Frak one he even admitted he didn't prepare as much since it was short notice, and... we don't speak about the Diz battle; I think all battle rap community have brain washed that battle out of our minds, it's best to pretend it didn't even exist lol.
