KOTD - Rap Battle - Fresco vs Rone

[@BigSwerv623]

7 years later and I’m still mad the crowd didn’t react better. So many slept on bars from both of them

[@Skogey]

"I take the absolute value of the root of the square and take it to a higher power when I cube it from there." Straight fucking fire.

[@Timothy]

Why was the crowd so whack!? "He'll never make the card again whether he wins or not" CARDIGAN, WINDSOR KNOT, that whole style scheme was NUTS

[@jhanks2012]

yeah, crowds like this is why some rappers end up reiterating and explaining their bars and it comes off corny sounding when they do but apparently it's necessary or they won't get it

​@@paulgarcia9181 😂 right. Fresco was snapping... although QP was definitely helping him write. I'm not saying he wrote his shit but he definitely bounced ideas around.

[@ericmharper]

"he won't make the card again whether he wins or not" translates "he won't make the cardigan whether he windsor knot", everyone in that building slept on the windsor knot reference, so sick!!

[@TheJeezy420]

Yep...and Pat Stay ran with that "He'll call it a tie whether he wins or not"

[@OMGStarzz]

That is so gay

[@johnjacobs3759]

That bar was ok it wasn't great though

[@DFMMei]

this crowd is by far the wackest crowd I've ever seen

[@BrodyMulligan]

Dusty Farmer yeah I was really wondering why the crowd was so subdued, with the exception of the hosts on stage, even some people like some behind fresco seemed like they were on a shitload of Xanax and not reacting to much. Maybe it was the way the crowd was mic'd. Enjoyed the battle though. I like fresco and his style but, I think Rone took this one by a slim margin.

[@puremercury]

This was one of the weaker battles by these two, as well.

[@ellisdtrails420]

Agreed

[@sheebhaduncan]

True

[@nocoastljared598]

Wish this happened on iBattle tbh

[@posajnejkwahb]

Fresco looks borderline psychotic right before his third, he knows what he's about to do. I've watched this battle so many times, it's just a filthy match.

[@TheMisterthunder]

Just caught that. Wow.

[@turttell2736]

Brandon Thomas Right though he is lyrical as shit it took me a couple of times thats why fresco's line "you can watch battles of mine from 2 years ago and rediscover bars you didn't get you watch a rone battle one time its like that it"....really I'm pretty sure i get frecos lines instantly because the're shallow jlike the whole molestation angle was awful yet tones battles i can watch and i'll realize i never got that bar until now

[@ryanprussin]

Yeah, this was a sick set of bars that got totally slept on

[@anubislotus]

pat stay vs fresco, this needs to happen.... while we are at it lets get a fresco vs kid twist rematch.

[@Welyn]

that fashion scheme at the end of rone's round 3 was slept on super ard

[@big_pb]

Wait the actual Welyn likes battle rap too?

[@alexmeyer8133]

No way bro I just went back and watched all rones battles I didn't know you liked battle rap homie

Fresco is super slept on in battle rap. Its crazy. Legendary punches.

[@taqdmageranger]

I'm a Rone fan, but I think Fresco finished off hard, feel like that won him the battle.

[@michaelgreenfield7522]

pause.

[@xX-Logic-]

Idk if that third round was true or not but Rone sure looked like those bars were hitting home.

[@ninetyoner8506]

Notice how awkward rone gets everytime sandusky is mentioned, kinda suspicious

[@SeaofC]

After Fresco's 3rd, Rone couldn't even look him in the eye

[@aprylvanryn5898]

Funny because he claims he killed fresco in the thesaurus battle

[@lukesteltenpool8878]

Probably because he feels uncomfortable from being humiliated about being raped. I know, I know....no filters in battle rap. But, if a white guy can't/won't say 'nigga', maybe they should give rape victims a break. Just saying. 💯✌🏻

[@jhanks2012]

the round wasn't even that good and the whole Sandusky angle has been played out in pretty much every battle Rone has been in

A lot of his stuff does in loads of battles. Lyrically he is great.

[@TheDt118]

The DNA line by Fresco was instant victory

[@Ggv19128]

This was good but definitely need a rematch. Possible a title match. Depending what Fresco does next event, hurt his stock a little not battling on Blackout but if the opponent wasn't right like he said, I understand for sure and I respect not to just the check for the hell of it

Lol no rone looked pathetic here and got stomped to death

[@shawinkerpoppin]

look at rones face during frescos third. it struck a nerve and touched him. that's the ultimate goal in a battle to humiliate your opponent and rone was catching feelings off that third round.

[@xLEGACx]

His whole delivery in this battle sounded like old school Eminem

[@camgan1]

As a Rone and Fresco fan I have to say Fresco took this even without the 3rd round. I'm more into bars than personals so I didn't think Fresco's third round was impressive but he had better bars overall. I would love to see them battle now. I was disappointed by Rone's KOTD title match but he usually comes prepared. I think Fresco would take him based on his last three battles but it would be close if Rone didn't come with the same BS he had against Illmac.

[@iammarkcoster707]

This was crazy if I had to choose I would give it to fresco but it was hella close classic battle between two dope emcees 🔥🔥🔥much love and respect!

[@JesRocWitMe]

Fresco 3-0 His personals, and wordplay cut so much deeper than Rone's. Only thing Rone had on him was jokes and some crowd reaction. Rone's jokes weren't at their best either, but that may be because after Fresco's 1st round he changed the tone of the battle slightly away from jokes.

[@jraymond1988]

Right. I agree that cardigan/card again and windsor knot/wins or not are both good....but they have nothing to do with one another. A cardigan is basically a button up sweater and a windsor knot is a type of not for a tie. At least Pat Stay connected the "wins or not" wordplay to an actual tie.
