One of the veterans who played a huge role in putting the Fresh Coast on the map, Tantrum is one of a handful of battle rappers who hasn't missed a step between his start in battling and the contemporary scene. A Union City, CA resident, Tantrum is best known for his battle against Dumbfoundead, which has become one of the highest battles of all time. Since then, the West Coaster has been in the ring with big names such as Dirtbag Dan, 9DM and Protege, and is internationally known as well, having battled in the U.K. and Philippines. With a style composed of seemingly endless aggression and high powered bars, Tantrum has stood the test of time as a battle rapper. Back on King of the Dot, Tantrum goes up against A Class in this next release from Battle of the Bay 6.
Another well known staple of battle scene, A Class has been involved in battling for over 4 years, dating back to the GTNY division. Representing for Baltimore, A Class is one of the few battlers to come out of his city, but his work ethic and hustle more than make up for it. With an impressive resume that includes battles against high profile challengers like Rone, Madness, Dizaster and Caustic, A Class has clashed with some of the best in the business and has proven that he is not to be taken lightly. Utilizing a fast paced delivery, A Class rattles off both knee slapping jokes and devastating multis to break down his opponents. Making another appearance in KOTD, A Class returns to California to take on hometown hero Tantrum.

Tantrums intense flow can make you wanna punch a kid for no reason.

[@mrxcitement272]

A real mature battle, strong battle. No winner, Just pleasure and entertainment. This was quality

[@G0zum]

its hard to find that nowadays

[@chiefwakil]

A-Class is low-key one of my favorites to watch. He nearly beat Dizaster when Diz was on his climb. he nice…cats be sleep though. I see you Boy, keep coin ya thing man. Nothing against Tantrum either.

[@contrary]

Class third round was whack though against diz. Strong round two thought

[@RoboCunnilingus]

"I'll have y'all buggin' off my style like praying mantis" I just want A-Class to know that line was NOT wasted. Shit hit me hard, I had to pause it like whooo.

[@fcmastering]

I'm happy that there Is Hip Hop fans like you. Stay awesome.

[@foobler]

I get praying mantis is a bug but what is so awesome about it?

[@kieranibus]

gyh gyb lmao basic as fuck

[@RoboCunnilingus]

gyh gyb It's also a style in karate.

[@RoboCunnilingus]

Doc Shemp Lmaoooo, your comment had me rolling. Honestly, I like quick one liners like that. It was thought out and clever tbh. I fuck with it.

[@doclorianrin7543]

Every battle I watch tantrum in, he really breaks his opponent down. He spit that shit u know his opponents go home and think about. Love watchin this dude go in.

[@MasamuneStreams]

Tantrum out-rhymed the living shit out of A-Class

[@dksoulstice6040]

"You see this fool after event? He's walking around tryna see what's good with other writers, a girl step up to him he's like move bitch I'm looking for a cypher" lmfao that line was funny as shit

[@zerozebra]

yo, the lack of quality on the sound ruins these battles. Step thats shit up, folks

[@lorbenconcepcion481]

Got that right...

[@NOLAbrookz]

the overall production quality KOTD Freshcoast .U.S.A Division done by Avocado ( amazing 10,000$+ 1080p HD DSLR's ) Movie quality editing , just check BOTB6 intros Biggg k vs illmaculate was best battle related editing AUDIO NOT DONE NY AVO THO (he did at Grindtime & their never was a problem) KOTD he has so much to do w/ lighting , filming , dolly work , pit set up ,,,, that KOTD needs to hire out people (whos main "skill" & job is audio recording/ who seem to fuck up kinda alot (not whole battles tho, just 1or2 battles per event (if that) and thats just been recently with these HUGE venues (which is hard to begin with ASK URL WHO SMACK who fucked audio up at almost every huge venue they booked for years , and still fuck it up to this day at tomes & def allways fuck up one or too

[@26Lucid]

Dope battle! Shit went back and forth. Hard to judge. We need more battles like this! Thank you Tantrum/A-Class for a real performance. Word

[@TheEnviedLife]

So glad, I decided to watch this, great back and forth.

[@HorizonHipHop]

Tantrum vs Unanymous should happen next World Domination event

[@zeldazoned]

that would be fucking painful but at least we might actually believe Unan could do what he metaphorically says he would do to his opponents. Him vs. a coked up Diz just couldnt work when its a contest about aggression...Diz looked like a fucking Space Jam Monster in that shit...Veins popping out and towered over Unan..

[@YzWords]

been waiting for this sheeiitt!

[@realjohnsmith7264]

that was a fire battle!

[@jacobericlamberson3562]

I started this battle favoring Tantrum more but damn "your name is Tantrum yet you can't get no one to throw you a fit." Shit.

[@Darkwolve85]

That Charlie Clips line was hot because of the fact that Charlie was the code name for the Vietnamese in that war.

[@geenoh1s]

i wish DFD would battle again, but hes actually successful

[@derezmusic]

Honestly I felt A-Class had the first two rounds but Tantrum smashed the 3rd effortlessly. Second round is a toss up but A-Class 2-1 for me.

[@robbbyyy25]

agreed

[@derezmusic]

robbbyyy25 Actually I take that back. The first is a toss up. Yeah.

[@robbbyyy25]

Derez nah Tantrum 3rd like you said...2nd is a toss up..A Class 1st easy..bars over everything

[@hahyunlee]

Yo A-Class got that but I'm fucking impressed by how much Tantrum improved his battle. This is the best I have seen him. Still A-Class won, but was a close battle.

[@OBA2G4L]

Classic match. Great battle.

[@themodproject3067]

Holy shit. Tantrum was meta-rapping. that was hip hop

[@SunnyBlackFromDaBronx]

Yeah the nigga Traphik up in the battle shit finally, hopefully he'll consider battling soon because he definitely got battle bars .....

[@urgamecshk]

KOTD has the worst audio set up lately....DF has it done.

[@LeondeLaSco]

A Class did his thang, but damn Tantrum straight beasted. Asian jokes in rap battles will never be the same again.

[@crypticraps]

Why is A-Class in ground zero now?... He's top tier

[@dannyapeshit]

Benjamin Goss Wish I can say the same thing but when he face Diz or Charron he fell short on bars and didn't have enough. Tho I will say that he is better than most of the other KOTD battlers.

[@annawreckshit866]

@@dannyapeshit 5+ years later & were still saying the same thing. main eventing vancity GZ cards isn't hitting anymore.

[@jeppong]

@@dannyapeshit he lost to Diz but he didnt lose to Charraon that was some KOTD biased crowd and very outdated scene where people look for more jokes than bars. Bar for Bar A-Class washed him, but if they battled again A-class would lose to charron cause Charron also has evolved and matured and has some really good bars now.

[@NoelTeruGibson]

Imitating the beasts around them bar was so fucking fire. If it were the right crowd, right moment, right delivery - that would have gone down with Danny's conveyor belt joint

[@timsohn7057]

They're both great. Class improved alot, and tantrum really been keepin it as well. I just want to see them go against more opponents bringing their best of the best.

[@Damnitandrew]

A class looks like glen from the walking dead

[@BOOMERVILE]

Lol he does

[@andrecoleman1856]

+Andrew Medina what a fucking ignoramus.

[@ElectrikNYCfunK]

Dope battle boys!

[@BossMuzza]

Thought I was watching Fliptop in the introduction for a second

[@SunnyBlackFromDaBronx]

If I didn't know who Traphik & Dumbfounded were, that comment would be hilarious .....

[@bboytripp3]

Damn! Fire battle!

[@Benny41251]

cant wait to see them both again soon.

[@iKill4MyLove]

Honestly, this is one of my favorite matches, they went at it hard af and they still had good enough sportsmanship to laugh over it and congratulate each other.

[@DannyFlorioNYC]

Dope battle

[@asoidfhowehjr8248]

both these cats are dope, but Tantrum went more lyrical while A Class went more for the punchlines. and IMO I think A Class' style rocked better at the battle

[@NOLAbrookz]

FIRE BATTLE

[@CNRhKXtreme]

Excellent battle - they both killed it. Tantrum's lines about Daylyt are the pure truth.

[@MaddyGatzka]

Tantrum got that, but A-Class's song at the end of the video was dope

[@dannysantell]

Good battle I feel like this is back to Grindtime days

[@lostangeles]

tantrum looks like he be doing wing chung while he rapping

[@haileygebreski8071]

good call

[@Ruffdogg21]

good battle. more like this. not any fake gun bars or fake drug sells--just fake ninja stars and sword drawing

[@NAPvg28]

11:42 LMAO at lush really digging the DNA/CharlieClips line XD

[@koitsom]

Dope ass battle

[@joeytrust4393]

In the first round Tantrum had the aggression, but A-Class had stronger wordplay, as well as the line of the round where he flipped all the asian battler names. I'll edge the first round to A-Class. This continued for the rest of the battle. Tantrum had a solid performance though, just for the record. I simply preferred the material A-Class came with. So, I'd edge the battle to him. No body bag.

[@chizzzy79]

I got tantrum in this only by a bit I get the aggression he always has but personally I think a lot of the stuff he said would've hit harder if he changed that flow

[@LKH12]

Back here year 2021

[@ArmanNasirworks]

Amazing battle after a first viewing can't call a winner yet

[@JoseGarcia-ww1bn]

i cant believe i haven't seen this video

[@xiong-dn8tn]

BOTH GO HARD

[@MysticalTV]

An Overview: If you appreciate the Points Tantrum was making Fast Lyrical Multis Predicting A-Class's Angle Then Tantrum Won 2) If you dont care about Self Race Exploitation(Which people dont becuase they watch Black Movies ,which consistanty Self Mock ALL Steriotypes Negatively associated With Black People and laugh) If you listen for Word Play and Punch lines Then A-Class Won Pretty Simple

[@YzWords]

Its hard listening to a guy make points three rounds about self race exploitation when his highest viewed battle is literally just that.

[@MysticalTV]

Yz Now that's an awsome Piont, A Class should have used that. With that piont, we are now left with Multis from tantrum which were Very Dope ,but yes if A Class brought that up it would have been a clear 3-0 for Class And since This had been brought up Maybe the next person to battle Tantrum will use it as an angle

[@NOLAbrookz]

OR if you realize 1. they BOTH went the fuck in and did there styles (which are pretty opposite) to the highest level of their abilities AND 2. BOTH gave two of their best performances & you realize there was no winner ...THEN BOTH WON

[@ChillonDaviz]

ONLY thing i didnt like was his movements and the mutis...but tan really Loaded luxed him ....Class is super nice but he shoulda known better then t be rappin like that

[@sanitary103]

Chillon Daviz I actually respectfully disagree. Tantrum was the one who should have slowed down a bit at least mix it up a bit. if A Class would have went bonkers like Tantrum, that would feed right into Tantrum b/c Tantrum is known to be very aggressive and that may not be matched. by slowing things down and mixing it up with comedy and aggression, A-Class stood out more and got the W as far as i'm concerned. great battle by both though.

[@henrycarreno2663]

Sickness, yo

[@dcta51]

Finally!

[@italianmafia92]

Forgot how hard both of them went this was a good battle

[@NoElvisRecordings]

that was great.

[@nonamer29]

Man... From 4:07 to 4:29 is just great camera work from Avo.

[@henrysour]

A-Class 2-1. Bars over Everything.

[@LuckyNice19]

Friend-zoned by your left hand!.. i haven't always dug tantrums style but he does have the odd line that gets me rooooooolling hahaa

[@srv4978]

a-class needs to make a kotd return soon

[@CoAcorruption]

great battle but how is Tantrum gonna diss A-class about how many syllables he can cram? Tantrum's whole battle/style is that...smh

[@absolutexk]

+CoAcorruption that's what I thought also. Talking about forced multis and yet that's all he did, go all out on multis.

[@grantpasquale6503]

Both are dope, they both win!

[@TheJunkieBox]

Tantrum got this with more consistency and better angles but A-Class had the fucking punchlines. Everybody Knows Dumb founded Tantrum. Holy shit.

[@zebraneck3567]

good battle they both had bars

[@MisterRarsclartPest]

SICK!! I'm glad KOTD's started using some decent rappers again, aint heard from these two since grind time (RIP lol)

[@dksoulstice6040]

Watching Traphik's facial expressions was the funniest part of this video lol dude's face though

[@adamrennis1224]

give him some more battles

[@OriginStories07]

Yeah

[@jaycrider7321]

Good to see A Class is still at it

[@cocolash]

This battles definite a good side step to the norm. I fuck with both styles

[@ruivirtual]

Tantrum brings rapbattle a couple years back... where's the nameflips? wordplay? just oldschool multi syb punches which = NO HAYMAKER WHATSOEVER.... A-class got that

[@baldlyjoe]

improvement to both. they did their thang.

[@sai9507]

I'm looking for a cypher

[@eee32mmm]

the sound quality has not been great for a while

[@leebog1914]

That was tight...

[@guilitotorres9777]

Tantrum graduated from the Dizaster Multi Academy

[@sill259]

Friend zoned by your own left hand... xD I was crackin up

[@skillaCMXI]

That got real personal, real quick.

[@dannyapeshit]

I agree, but Unanymous vs 100 Bulletz would be "bar heaven" haha.

[@mcmotionMA]

.. this battle was 1,000X better than i thought it would be

[@franciscosalanga]

Props to the props.

[@Itsallsotiresome]

2-1 Tantrum. Style clash. Tantrum killed him with personals. Not just personals, but personals that are true.

[@julesking8355]

This is better then any battle than any battle in Bodied, which is sad for battle movie

[@bk3896]

Good battle. Not feelin the audio source for vocals though. Why not pull audio from the mics they're wearing?

[@jondoe3031]

Good battle

[@imuedits6444]

Great Battle! And Ultimately a "Class-Ic"!

[@realdealmind01]

I miss Tantrum battling. He better come back soon

[@jasonsecretsword7606]

Great Battle. A-Class has always been tight with the rhymes and had a good performance as expected. Tantrum is an old school fave who never stops evolving. Tantrum took this in my opinion on content and predicted/defused A-Classes attack angle.

[@jeppong]

Tantrum has no bars though. Shit is weak af. Just personal and angles. A class had more bars rhat just hits harder. A class does much better to draw in the crowd.

[@qmulus1]

"Move bitch! I'm looking for a cypher!" LMAO!!!

[@HorizonHipHop]

Tantrum's 2nd round was flawless.

[@d.jayrogers3783]

good battle

[@tacocat1705]

"Never stand for your people because you use your race as a crutch" gawdamn

[@BillionaireMove]

Both these dudes nice

[@SakeLoke35]

Timothy back there like..."this aint wildin out" hahaha..foh

[@BrandonPerezOne]

That line that A-Class said "Move bitch I'm looking for cyphers." Haha and Tantrum had going with the ninja shit. Over all I do feel like this battle was insane. I want to say this is a tie.

[@Plaswuff]

Epic fucking battle.

[@AneTix101]

Fucking incredible

[@runswimplayball]

A class

[@siverwun]

this battle is debatably watch able

[@DamondLockett]

[@3m1n3m5]

[@DamondLockett]

[@getutoghter823]

[@Theleafiest]

[@12123killer]
