Every time DNA battles in King of the Dot, he puts on a classic. His battle with Dizaster has set the standard for all subsequent KOTD battles, racking up more than 2 million KZbin views to date. His battle against Eurgh might have been the best from the stacked card at Vendetta in 2012. And his recent battle versus Charron, booked on only eight days' notice, was arguably the most entertaining match at World Domination 4. Reppin Queens, New York, DNA emerged on the battle scene as a teenage phenom with frightening potential. Since then, his stock has soared, with invites to every major battle league worldwide. A consummate professional, DNA always gets the crowd hyped with energetic performances, and his freestyle/rebuttal ability makes him a tough matchup for any MC. Judging by his track record, expect another classic from DNA at Battle of the Bay 6.
If there was a Mount Rushmore of West Coast battle MCs, Pass would make the cut. The Oakland native is a respected veteran with notable battles dating back to the Scribble Jam era, and his infamous clash with Hollow Da Don was named the No. 1 battle of all time by website RapGrid. In the ring, Pass is a veritable fact-checker, prone to explaining why his opponents are fake gangsters with nary a blemish on their criminal records. His top-notch flow and projection make it light work for Pass to outshine his opponents. His record includes notable bouts against Philly Swain, Daylyt and K-Shine, with his most recent KOTD battle coming against RemyD. In front of a home audience, Pass should deliver another standout performance.

so stoked to see these two battle

[@babyblueLEGEND]

Anyone claiming bias based on ''hometown'' advantage is missing the whole picture. If DNA had come better prepared(well rounded) he could have flipped a bunch of Town names and landmarks and shocked the house. Instead he tried to set a record for name flips....pass, pa pass past pass pa past pass. GTFOH. Shame on Clips for letting DNA spit that.

[@YouWinTheAward]

lmao "Shame on Clips" #Tru

3 Battles released from this event...and 3 Classic battles..Big up to KOTD...

[@dfittedifyouaintwitit2574]

For real. Its not FUCK THE URL. Its just they take forever to release the battle and people don't want to see it any more. Fuck the editing you aint martin scorsecse. We just want bars.

[@gedbeat15]

Dan Fitty Amen.

[@James_Sutherland]

DNA is consistently good, but Pass out rapped him easy. And not only did DNA say pass too many times, he didn't even use it in the right way a lot of the time.

[@lucapachee9863]

He said Pass as in past multiple times. Weird stuff

[@Illmatic699]

Dna had 3 rounds of nothing but name flips smh

[@propaneK1982]

Pass had one of the best 1st rounds by anyone in a long time

[@Mattrickz]

Dunno how people thought DNA got tht. From an unbiased point of view. Pass put his rounds together madly

[@wwehead123]

people love to see comment before they actually hear the battle and then go in with a bias opinion... Pass was good throughout... DNA was going for a long drawn out scheme that was heavy in the 1st, showed up in bits in 2nd , then wraps up the 3rd... I respect the scheme but to me it just seem overdone way to much... I don't do 2-1 or 3-0's anymore i look at the whole battle as 1 long drawn out round Pass won.... Combine his rounds into vs DNA and Pass wins hands down

[@Mattrickz]

I agree, that knicks top dna is wearing though, gotta get me one of them

[@YouWinTheAward]

Pass bodied this man.. DNA is cool as hell but i mean fuck, Pass BODIED this man

[@BaoNguyen-iv1zx]

I like the fact that KOTD doesn't overlook production quality in their videos. The editing, lighting, and most importantly the sound are all clean. Makes the rap battle that much more enjoyable to watch.

[@TheThirdWing94]

the visuals before the battle are dope as helllll

[@basketballgod2791]

Please give pass the respect he deserves. Every battle he has bars.

[@TheUltimateRage]

Except his battle wit' Philly Swain. I was so disappointed that battle.......

[@qmulus1]

And his battle with Henry Bowers.

[@Triple6Lyricist]

Pass murdered DNA with diversity. DNA: "PASS PASS PASS" Hollow did it along with 10 others. Even Thesaurus whooped DNA cuz he predicted majority of his shit and cancelled em out. DNA is overrated yo

[@Triple6Lyricist]

I accept your decision but man Thesaurus cancelled his first rd he really knew what DNA was gonna say. 2nd i do give to DNA, i liked Saurus book line tho that was slept on imo then 3rd i found corny the whole "i'm black you white..i woulda sold crack in the streets you woulda been in harvard.." and all that i mean Saurus said it himself "that means i won" who tf glorifies seeling crack over going to college? lame..Saurus 2-1

just love how they do lighting for the vid and venue

[@TONY4EXAMPLE]

Ain't no point in me commenting. Honestly, like a fanboy, I clicked on this battle for DNA. He's my dude. A true top of the dome, witty, rugged, passionate MC. BUT as it looks like all are in agreement,... Pass. It's rare when I get to the place he took me. Mad love, respect, and ironically thanks. I'm looking for Pass every time. I had forgotten what "schoolin" meant.

i dont care who won or lost,, this was a good battle..period!!!

Goddamn pass murdered him, was not expecting that. This is the best I've seen Pass, I wasn't expecting him to come with all that word play

[@ruivirtual]

pumpzfrom89 "there's hiv in this dna that's why his name eric, right?" dna was nodding to pass's barz the whole time.. dna underperformed here, while pass was on his grind; and thats one lost and the other won.

[@scottierapper98]

"Now everything I do is a million, or 500,000 and up" Nice one DNA.. Since 2013 ain't even got 400 K

[@ciscolicious87_32]

The fuck you talking about? DNA is the second most viewed battler in the world.

[@scottierapper98]

+Francisco Abreu While true, the context in which DNA said it meant every individual battle gets that many views... This battle's been out since 2013 and not even got 400 K which makes what DNA said wrong...

[@jasonrenaud]

Great match of styles !!! BARS !!!

[@5TailFox]

"Let's take this back to the ba-sics...'Cause this is Battle of the Bay 6.." Nice.

[@TheDonpark1]

No thanks... That's minor.

[@5TailFox]

Lol...I'm inclined to agree. It WAS essentially the lame beating up the lamer. Which is which? You decide.

[@micmorgan84]

Pass simply out rapped him. His bars were structured better both of their delivery was solid but DNA used the same your the pass(past) I'm the future angle and his hardest line was about okwerds.

[@shyygaming]

I never thought DNA was that good. This battle hasn't changed my mind. Pass 3-0.

[@mokey890]

Did anybody do a word count on how many times he said pass or past?

[@AHairyApe]

can we mention lush looked so spaced out it was hilarious to see his reactions to some lines

[@sanitary103]

3-0 Pass. You could argue 2-1 Pass and that's fine but Pass clearly won. First off, DNA spent 3 rounds name flipping. 1 round of flipping is fine, 2 is okay if you're on point but an entire battle is repetitive, I don't care how clever you put together schemes. This is probably one of Pass' best battles. The thing with Pass is that when he raps, you could or at least I can feel his raw emotion and pride for the West Coast. His delivery is on point, throws in some aggression without sounding corny like Diz at times . DNA is very consistent, maybe even more than Pass at times but consistent will not keep at the top or near top for long.

[@KobeisJordans]

amen

[@ritterporter4089]

I agree mostly, in the third round it was starting to get stale and the crowd wasnt responding to it as much. Overall, still a dope ass battle.

[@sanitary103]

first off, calm the heck down. I don't have to have battle rapped to have an opinion. I've been following battle raps closely for about 8 years and have been into rap since the mid 90's so I have seen a lot. 3 rounds of repetitive name flipping is not a body bag bro. I actually think DNA is very talented but he tends to revolve his hard hitting punch lines with clever nuances and phrases, which is very good but at times, it gets old. you're entitled to your opinion just like I am.

[@Le0nWashington]

Nah Bmagic nameflipped Rosenburg to death and it was impressive as fuck.

[@benjiioo7045]

R.I.P. DNA... famous people keep dying.

[@benjiioo7045]

LOL JK, 2-1 DNA.

[@LouieLuciano]

Pass and Diz had there performance of there careers out here in the bay no lie. By far.

[@grrre8]

i wanna see pass and dna off the dome battle lol. that'd be dope

[@Bountyville424]

Pass Is dope. Don't sleep on the boi

[@Wobbothe3rd]

Passwurdz wins easily. DNA should have avoided the cliche lines. He had like 10 different flips on "Past and Present." I get that he was trying to make a "meta-scheme" with the three verses, but that doesn't make it much better. Pass was much more clean with better lyrics.

[@fellah89]

Anybody know where I can buy that shirt DNA is wearing?

[@TheJeezy420]

Go yo NY or online there's outlets everywhere G

[@fellah89]

Jason Belcourt Could you please get me a link bro? I don't know where to look :)

[@tinotica]

You very rarely see anyone outrap DNA because of his consistent non-stop delivery. Only seen it 3 times in Pass, K Shine, and Loso

[@gmn545]

Pass won, hands down. DNA overused the name flips to the point that it got annoying, and by round 3 it's clear he wasn't prepared.

[@QCW]

2013 has not been DNA's year... B-Magic, Pass, Chilla Jones(debatable), K-Shine, Arsonal, can't think of anymore of his battles but from those he lost almost clearly

[@SwagginPenguin]

I thought he roasted Chilla, that ass whooping line was a nasty haymaker. He did underestimate K-shine but I thought he bounced back against Charron.There is so much demand for top tier battlers and DNA is too active to stay hungry. He should tweak his style a bit more to be original every battle his set ups are getting stale AF, He gets more reaction from jokes so he should stick with that.

[@rloco80]

I disagree with B-Magic and Chilla Jones.. I say DNA beat both of them. But I do agree that 2013 has not really been DNA's year. I agree that he lost this battle to Pass, and he took losses to K-Shine and Arsonal. But he still has a number of wins this year. To me DNA beat The Saurus, Chilla Jones, Anecdote, Charron, and B-Magic this year!

[@lockstock600]

Most avids would say K-Shine lost to D.N.A but I'm with you

[@michaelmosley7036]

I'll give you KShine but he killed Chilla and rebuttaled the shhh out of Pass each round. B-Magic was a close battle. I edged it 2-1 DNA but I can't lie its cause he's my favorite so it could have very well been a tie lol

[@lockstock600]

Michael Mosley Didn't kill Chilla but yeah that was a win for D. B Magic battle was close idk who took that. Pass got him but DNA had a dope 2nd.

[@kevinprieto40]

Pass vs Clips Would be dope

9:59 "uuhhh, evil!" loolz

[@sheryinmoua8486]

lmao

[@CrookitLetta]

Wow, one of DNA's worst performances to date. All his rounds were about 75% name flips and most of them weren't even good. He used the same ones a lot and most of those used the word past, not pass. This was stupid. Pass 3-0 easy. Jersey.

[@ricardovera116]

This is dna's worst performance. He's usually consistent every round. He was annoying and repetitive in this battle.

[@lucapachee9863]

That's just the pass, you needa look towards the future.

[@tinotica]

His worst performance was the JC battle. Great first round bars that got annoying by constantly shouting “the champ is here” every time he got cheered and one of the lamest 2nd rounds. “Champ-ellujah”? Seriously???

[@ChinoDolo]

everybody's at this battle.they even got dumbfoundead in the back. Now,.Dumbfoundeads a beast!

[@Carrot555]

pass is by far the most underrated battler i ever heard. His angles are so fuckin OG

[@ramonvillalobos133]

[@PressureTZO]

Pass 3-0. Not close, and not debatable. I counted MAYBE 5 decent bars from DNA in the whole battle. The rest of his shit was irrelevant, rinse/repeat name flips and bad frees. Pass was diesel in this battle as well.

[@Kre8or333]

Is it just me or did DNA keep sayin Pass's name as Past? Now I can see how it plays to the bars, but to me that made his bars lose power. I gave it to Pass 3-0

[@sstelevision6376]

1st of all Pass, Hollow beat you, we all know it only may have seemed otherwise because Pass was at home and the crowd was playing favorites. 2nd of all, DNA, it's respectable you never turn down battles, but it's hard to give you props when you keep losing them. It's been a while since I've seen DNA win. Pass got this 2-1, maybe even 3-0 but I'm being generous because DNA wasn't terrible, he just wasn't enough.

[@siwooot]

3rd of all Hollow vs Pass wasn't judged so wtf are you talking about, 4th of all Pass beat him
