After making his rounds overseas, Philly's favorite white boy is back in King of the Dot. Battling in Don't Flop with an impressive showing against crowd favorite Blizzard, Rone came away with the W and added yet another body to his ever growing war path. With recent victories over Okwerdz and Protege and a hotly contested battle against Nils M/ Skils, Rone has more than proven himself a threat and is now content to take high profile matches against fellow top tier opponents. Known largely for his quick wit and effortless flow, hard hitting punchlines and screw-face inducing bars have recently begun to work their way into his repertoire. Seen most frequently as of late in King of the Dot, Rone was invited to take part in the always classic Vengeance 2 event against arguably his toughest opponent yet in Fresco.
Without a doubt one of the most popular battlers to ever step into the ring, Fresco does not at first glance appear to be a typical battle rapper. Certainly one of the most successful battlers of the written era, many people were caught off guard by the Rockford, IL emcee. Having no involvement with the scene prior to 2008, Fresco was not on many people's radars. Coming out of the gates hot, Fresco took down Moodswangz to begin his career. Since then, his resume has grown to include names such as Kid Twist, Soul Khan and Real Deal, among other classic showings against a variety of opponents. With a unique personality and an even more unique flow, Fresco's originality is one of his biggest assets, always approaching opponents from unexpected angles and with devastating schemes. Making his first 1 vs. 1 appearance in King of the Dot, Fresco brought his A game against Rone, making this one of the best battles of the night.

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

[@Steve-nv8db]

9:31 Thesaurus laughing, but he has no idea he's gonna get stomped by Fresco.

[@Ihatethewaythatyou]

Man easily a uncontested body for fresco.

[@ryanprussin]

To be fair, Theraurus has never looked happier than when he was getting stomped by Fresco

[@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.

[@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]

Hipster and self righteous shit right there

[@joellyos]

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

[@OMGStarzz]

I paused it right there just to repeat that line because I know it went over everyone’s heads

[@saintstorm7]

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.

[@NOLAbrookz]

battle would have came out so good if the crowd wasn't complete shit

[@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

[@RUSSIAN_SPY_INC]

[@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.

[@CerberusUnlikeMike]

Fresco slept on since 2008

8:57 “I’m here to splatter a fresco and knock it off of it’s fixture you shouldn’t have to draw conclusions my resume’s off the rictor me and the illest traded / illustrated bars that should paint you a picture” got slept on so hard man that was a sick fucking line

[@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

OMFG fresco last verse was so damn good the whole room felt awkward for ROne.. that was fucking crazy verse

[@Ggv19128]

Did anyone else like the old intros where they had Organik and the battlers talking about the battle?

Fresco's lines get slept on so badly...I'm pumped he's on Blackout 4!

[@lcwarrior17]

His stuff did get slept on. It was good

[@robcalvert8830]

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

[@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

[@eskimocheeks9911]

This has to be the most quiet crowd ever in KOTD history.

[@TheStabble]

Yo i remember watching this when it first came out. One of my favorite battles!

[@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

[@saintstorm7]

Lol no rone looked pathetic here and got stomped to death

Someone please tell me how in the fuck Rone is still holding the chain. He is so one dimensional, ton of filler, soft punches. Nothing about this dude says he deserves to hold that title. Also, this nerd needs to stop calling out dudes like Dizaster and Tay-roc. It's as if he's asking Kotd to assist in his suicide.

[@TheStruggleBus43]

I've had this battle on repeat for a while now and still can't decide a winner. Rone was consistent all the way through (apart from his choke), great bars, great delivery. Fresco didn't have that consistency - great bar followed up by average by poor. Fresco's third though... wow. Ended up being a played out concept but Fresco was brutal. I'm edging Fresco right now but I'll probably change my mind again next time I watch it

[@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.

[@edmagararu9]

R1 tie R2 tie R3 fresco cuz of rone’s slip up and fresco’s personals. That sadusky’s angle is old but the way fresco used it was great Rone is still not to be messed with tho, he wid still fk u up in battle Splash!!

Ed Magararu it wasn't old then, he was the first one to do it. All the schools and timeline match up too. Hopefully rone didn't get diddled though.

[@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.
