Illmaculate/The Saurus (NY) vs (LD) Whashisface/Possessed WRC 06 Finals Battle 1

[@DudeStillChillin]

I remember watching this for the first time like 6 years ago and not paying Whashisface & Possessed any mind...but now coming back and really listening to them, they were sick! No doubt Illmac & Thesaurus were dope AF and deserved the win but Whashisface & Possessed definitely deserved a lot more crowd reaction.

[@bleezy17]

100% agree! Watching this now as compared to 5/6 years ago when I first seen it is totally different. Just develop a different perspective I guess.

[@GeneralBuckNaked]

Still Chillin Its fuckin crazy cuz me n my homie were JUST talkin about this shit.. lmao.. Back then i thought they were fucking HORRIBLE. I couldnt understand the concept of english people that rap. It fucked my head up.. We would watch this battle just to laugh at how they sound.. lmfaooo.. And now all these years later, after im used to hearing them rap now, they actually were pretty good.. Possessed was all around fire.. If he had a different partner, the battle woulda ended up alot closer.. Cuz Whashisface said some incredibly SUPER corny shit more than a few times lol

[@oWarCloudo]

Listen to Rhyme Asylum - thats who they are. Uk underground still killing it

[@levmccor54]

o War Cloud o Well rhyme asylum will never stop killing it but haven’t made music for like 10 years so

[@AcidropOSY]

Whashisface spit it way darker than everyone tbh

[@sinjinbeatbox]

+Dom Varl hahahahahahahaha

[@NBA1529]

lmao

[@FeArAiR]

+Dom Varl the greatest set up of all time, pamflit is the king of rapping it darker though

[@GeneralBuckNaked]

if Possessed had a better partner they woula did alot better.. Battle woulda been alot closer

[@amsbeats841]

"All those acne jokes you thought were sick as hell aply to him as well, you look like christian baile has sickle cell, and survived the bombing of the british rail" probably the best freestyle quote from any wrc

[@HorizonHipHop]

"you gambled your life and dug your grave with an ace of spades" possessed won this battle.

[@artmartlive8195]

Still watching 2019 the good ol days

[@VOCforlife]

man this entire comp was so amazing...following illmac and thesaurus was like following jordan in his early days

[@dascientiss]

"Yo I'm very...mad" I love thsi UK freestyle setup lines!!

Maaaaan, I remember waiting for each vid to drop from this back in the day!

[@civoreb]

If possessed had a better partner, it would have ended differently.

[@hamzakazi3803]

i thought the same

[@rhymeasylum2969]

Detriment Hip Hop Reain is nice, but let’s be honest, someone like arkaic being on his team would’ve made it a lot closer.

[@rhymeasylum2969]

Detriment Hip Hop Arkaic I felt was more consistent with his punches. Especially in the 07 WRC’s. Respeck BA probably would’ve been the best though.

[@oWarCloudo]

Look up ‘rhyme asylum’ ....

[@idekbruhstopaskingme]

Just imagine if psiklone was battling, if he teamed up with possessed they'd obliterate anyone

[@SCROTUMvalueMEAL]

"yo, i'm .. very mad" .. bwahahahaha possessed needs a new partner.

[@LlLWayneSucks]

this isnt ny vs london, thesaurus is from california and illmaculate is from some random state next to california. this is a wikipedia type of situation

[@SkarM_x]

possessed is awesome rhyme asylum is one of the best groups ever

[@Thr33.Sid3z]

I cant believe how long ago this was! I was at this battle & I remember the feeling/Energy was radiating from them you could feel it, and at a certain point you just felt Mac/Saurus get stronger and Possessed/WHF fade out. West Coast/PacNW Represented that night 💯 Portland & Oakland #PDX503OAK510

[@GrippinTheGauge206]

possessed has a dope voice. illmac and saurus did deserve the win though they blanked out much less times and were over all more solid

[@firestar9073]

I saw this the moment it out and i still always have to watch it, its amazing these guys are my generation,

[@joekori6998]

Whashisname and Possessed got hella slept on for real, still lost tho

[@girlsnotblue3804]

.LMAO

[@wizzles1]

"You say nothing crater face, that's right you'll get slashed with razor blades, and the fact is you gambled your life and dug your grave with an ace of spades." omfffgggggg Possessed should've been given the win based on this line alone.

[@bassburglar]

"Gambled you life and dug you grave with an ace of spades"... Possessed why did you stop rapping..??

[@rhymeasylum2969]

Detriment Hip Hop I’m beginning to lose hope completely

[@weiner_hands-guy914]

Illmac and thesaurus is like the Jordan and pippen of battle rapping. Best duo ever!

[@ComeLeVent]

crowd a little bit biased? Either way both teams were good. mac/saurus deserved the win

[@mobstakon1]

This shit is what got me started on battle rap. I remember watching WRC clips on whatever the cable company was I don't remember but man it's sick to see what battle rap became

[@archiecentrele5783]

you get better at battle rap through practice? - or is that based purely on talent.

[@suave_d]

Whashisface is nice, but I would have liked to have seen Respek BA team up with Possessed instead.

[@prayarcher]

suaved I like him I don't like the saurus I remember when this came out half pipe lol

[@prayarcher]

And illmac ripped solomon

[@triztenklk]

How can you compare when reain and posessed was 100% freestyle and most of thesaurus and illmaculate where writtens.

[@thangQanime]

5:55 "It looks like something Hannibal's EAHEN!" I laughed there but not for the reason he intended.

[@mindbodylightsound10]

was this filmed on a webcam or something? quality is terrible.

[@kayy9300]

WRC06 and 07 was sick ! I remember a dope Spin the Mic with illmac winning too

[@RedPillin]

These were some of the first videos I watched on youtube back in the day. Crazy how time flies man

[@qaching]

MEMORIES

[@SnikoggsOllie]

TheSaurus and Illmac are mad humble. After every match, they say alot more than, "You guys killed it." or something, to their opponents. Mad respect.

[@howdy3751]

Moral of the story: Racism is ok if you can make it rhyme

[@chevycarl1]

snowflake

[@brotherhood6391]

I think it's ok but only in battle

[@itzenthebozo6343]

What an SJW doing watching rap battles XD

[@jhanks2012]

ah yes, because saying someone with a big nose and lips has a big nose and lips has ANYTHING whatsoever to do with race ... sounds like YOU'RE the only racist one here, kid. knew there'd be some SJWs here somewhere ...

[@jhanks2012]

i am certain if there was only one white rapper and the others made white jokes against him, which they would, you would not be calling that racist. you liberals seem to think it is only possible for whites to be racist ... literally a racist concept by definition. please educate yourself. i hope you've matured SOME in the last two years ...

[@Plaswuff]

possessed and face held it so well. they had some sick punches, possessed about "even if you were in orbit your tunes wouldn't be out of this world." That's amazing! But they only held a candle in the sunshine, Illmac and Saurus performed their signature desctruction. sick battle.

[@TerminallyILLMusic]

actually possessed is hands down the best rapper in the UK.. Listen to poison penmanship

[@SpeedyStorm]

Whashisface and Possessed's first round was nuts. If they stayed on that level, they likely would've won the shit. Illmac and Saurus just came uberly consistent and they up their game on a big stage for sure.

[@ImBartley]

There is no way that Illmac makes better music than Possessed. Possessed is the best lyricist ever to live, no doubt.

[@alfredunhill]

That was so fierce everytime I watch it i get pumped up....but the line about the boxing gloves being used for the black guys nostril plugs just killed it....wow

[@sinivesive1630]

So many racist jokes, that are so not okay today. Almost felt like punching them if I think about those jokes seriously. It is a big no no even in fs rap battles.

[@arexyouxepicxenough]

whashisface sucks. Possessed was sick though.

[@hamzakazi3803]

true

[@FlawlessRevelation]

The Pope Mobile whashisface helf up possessed a lot during the prelims.... both teams had single members get burnt out as the homie holds em up.

[@oWarCloudo]

Dont sleep on Rhyme Asylum

[@rogeliazzo]

Does saurus is in a rap band o where can I find his music??

[@range567W]

@blackmanchris all the best rock bands are from the uk, umad?

[@w33dsm0k3r07]

wtf is the name of the intro song ? i just wanna get a sample from it

[@lyrikulinstinct]

who is "harry" that illmac and saurus keep referring to?? ive heard marv and quest and hom and piff say his name too. Does he run jumpoff??

[@Shadow155]

There was none, didn't have enough money because the tapes got stolen during the 07 season remember? They're doing the preseason for '09 already though.

[@MiltonFrediman]

I am an English guy, with American family, so perhaps I am the least biased person here. But either way, I think that Thesauraus and Illmaculate won, but anyone denying that the English guys have a lot of talent are being pathetic. That two-faced symmetrical batman line is better than any other insult I have heard towards Thesaurus and that was off the dome. I mean come on, both teams were so impressive.

[@proregeRotzak]

Poison Penmanship is just a long verse by Possessed you can watch the explained lyrics on Rapgenius. com

[@hottshotts]

another round?? they killed it on the first verse, now question who won this one

[@alfredunhill]

i was with you with thinking that needed OT but the last round really favored the US and the momentum just went their way...this battle is now legendary so i would have loved to hear an OT even if it didn't count just to hear what they would have spit....

[@TheWoWGrind]

Final battle and they cant even upload in HD?

[@LyricalYoungMC]

honistly i think that they should have more battles with us british, maybe some welsh MC's. i think theres allot of potencial for allot of the british MC's aswell as americans and others dont get me wrong. but i think this could be the next best thing. MC's from all over grouping together to spit with there best skills. what do you think?

[@igotmy9milli]

All dope rappers. This is memorable shit.

[@Noxshus]

So obviously some big changes were made to WRC between 06 and 07. Saurus and Illmac aren't from NY, and Whashisface/Possessed couldn't even stand with Jaze and Wapps let alone the rest of the finalists from 07. Was it just a lot of expansion, more teams enrolled type thing?

[@crazykid116]

what is that song when the video start?

[@festeelerfan]

idk about that. Have you listened to any of Illmac's music? It's pretty dope

[@simplelife88393]

@polkin56 Do you actually think Eminem could beat Thesaurus or Illmac in a rap battle?

[@radiosurgery]

Holy shit this is such a crazy battle. These are definitely two of the best teams in the world.

[@SamUKest89]

i was wondering if that was going to be brought up, when mentioning britney i was refering to the rubbish music part, but il take the blame for that... and i dont want to seem like im just finding ways to attack the US, but at least u are showing that they arent immune :)

[@jackxer]

I know I'm 15 years late, but is all of their spitting actually freestyle? It seems like they are thinking of rhymes on the spot, but they still spit mad bars like it's nothing.

[@wale43703]

Here's a question and I'm being serious. Why, when a British person raps, does it seem like it just makes their accent heavier?

[@majkatisebanjagola]

I completely agree, as Possessed said at 05:36, he is indeed the lord of the mic.

[@unelectedbureaucrat2003]

great video and battle pity it never went to the knockout round.

[@sniper256420]

see illmac vs thesaurus? pretty tight battle that one is

[@BlackStarKeepShining]

Why was TheSaurus talking about Whas' nose?

[@pinkeyedtennisshoes]

Thesaurus and illmaculate killed it here...Thesaurus is like bernard hopkins and illmaculate is like roy jones....

[@SamUKest89]

@PlatinumBD i think its like when thesaurus said something about possessed saying prick, i dunno if he did but he didnt say it alot

[@H2oCooling]

who wins ?

[@Ronarch2671]

Haha, The Saurus carried Illmac? My ass. This duo was fearsome. I can't wait to see them reunite at the King of the Dot Grand Prix this year.

how do these rappers keep straight faces during these insane battles... possessed and wha are both crazy even tho they were destroyed in this battle

[@stylezNout]

isn't it LA vs LD

[@WessCam1993]

Not really. Every now and then you'll hear a pre-meditated punchline thrown in, usually involving a play on name(s). If you want to watch written battles check out SMACK URL or King Of The Dot.

[@truetuber100]

Would love to see Illmac and thesaurus vs tenchoo and lego

[@oddnomad8010]

yeah US took that one, it makes me feel good seeing hip hop is international and the bruthaz from the UK went on our home turf and performed and shook hands at the end. i love hip hop and this is what i dreamed would occur. they need to come up with a show on TV showing these contests in HD and good sound quality. i spit but i do not freestyle as well as i write. so when i hear off the top of the head verses ME as an MC appreciate the creativity. NUFF RESPEKT TO ALL
