[@Zmad724]

Two former KOTD champions, that didn't just survive but thrived in both freestyling and written eras of battle rap.....both individually and as 2 on 2 Champions. This is my favorite channel for battle rap lately, when more fans catch up to how dope this channel is, it's gonna be huge. Innovative idea, and it's great getting to watch old battles, with battlers themselves. Also, Avo you got to have Lush One back, he was hilarious with DBD and Alfie.

[@OGRedWill]

Real spit, I was just saying how Im getting my annual, semi annual revisits of classics. This is so necessary.

[@thatpart]

You can see the buddy chemistry between The Saurus and Illmaculate. Then, all three of them. It makes this a million times better!

[@jeffcrowther2688]

I haven't missed any of thease yet . way better than watching a battle by yourself ... big ups ... this was a great idea you had ... keep umm comin

[@ExploitMage]

thumbs up squad get that shit done.... need like 500+ likes on this comment to strong-arm avo/RYD into settin g up as many as possibl

[@jeffreybonanno8982]

jeff crowther I know this is obvious to those who think about it technically, but if you take into account all the battlers, fans, events ,staff, and videos around the world...you're almost never watching a battle alone. You might be the only one in the room but at least you're not the only one on the world watching it all by your lonesome lol. totally a sarcastic comment and in no way am I attempting to spark one of those comment log debates by accidentally sounding rude instead of facetious. I agree wholeheartedly, this is one of my favorite new segments they've come up with about gives you an idea about what rappers think about someone when they're not trying to compete with dude, or try to put up a stronger facade cuz their homie just caught the fade from him or what have you. Much more informative than those post and pre-battle interviews where they only remember one line or are still to emotionally pumped to be civil just yet.

[@paullaney3339]

@@jeffreybonanno8982 I feel this comment 👍

[@carlosdanger7907]

"I'ma watch this and do it way worse" LMFAOOOOO SAURUS IMPRESSION OF DNA HAS ME DYIN

[@Tarryk]

I'm still catching up on all these, but this is the best I've seen so far. Saurus and Ill are so hilarious when they start cracking each other up analyzing the bars. This was so fun to watch, thank you for doing these.

[@Lilgc83]

Been subscribed since watching the first daily spice this has to be my favourite channel at the mo Much love and keep it up from the uk

[@RuinYourDayNow]

thanks for the support man!

[@poet253rd]

"Macklemore changed battle rap." Lmao 😂😂😂

[@poet253rd]

Jason Joseph they need to bring it back lmao

[@jayjoe77]

poet253rd I laughed way too hard at your comment haha facts tho

[@jothugs]

dizz math with dizz math

[@andresreyna4260]

The insight from the guys about this battle & etc is phenomenal! It's so much fun to watch!

[@chasekinsey9983]

s/o illmac for adding amalgamation to my vocab

[@bamrivera2313]

This is the battle that got me into battle rap MY FIRST BATTLE EVER WATCHED I think it was like damn near 8 years ago shit was like sophomore year of high school then watched all I could find after that this fucking 2 part battle lol truly has a special feel for me

[@RuinYourDayNow]

that's awesome!

[@airhawk01]

One of my favorite GT battles by far. I remember watching this every week.

[@jbizz80]

Man, this battle is still such a slept-on classic. I watch it at least twice a year.

[@Bangscrew41]

Avacado you're the shit bro . seriously thanks for the show man I need something to watch in between new battle events. thanks man

[@RuinYourDayNow]

thanks dawg!

[@pokefiii]

listening to illmac & pete break down the art/psyche of freestyling mid-round (last 2-3 minutes) was EVERYTHING.

[@cliffnasa3560]

these videos are so fuckin dope..more with illmac and thesaurus also throw in Dizaster or Hollow frfr💯

[@janguv88]

The Saurus and Illmac work really well together. Genuinely felt I was learning some things from a battler's perspective, and their commentary was well-placed - not constantly interrupting like Nocando/Lush One. Good stuff

[@BlitzX89]

THIS. This was the best one i've watched so far! my ribs were hurting from laughing from the commentary lol ! Amazing episode.

[@UltracoreUltraUranium]

Exactly Mr. Mac and Mr. Saurus. Hollow is the greatest amalgamation of battle rap skills, which is why I believe he is the best battle rapper of all time. No offense to Mr. Saurus (Easily on the Westcoast Mt. Rushmore, where George Washington sits)

[@muckmanjr22]

The intercom to let him know it's happening 😂😂😂😂

[@joshrudy4467]

Been watching battles since skribble jam(state boots and prison tans lol)as well as original SMACK dvds.these videos y'all are doing are super refreshing.nice to hear LEGENDS speak,break down,and give praise to other guys in such an ego driven sport.Good to see you guys as fans rather than competitors.Shows you all in a different light.Keep it going👌🏻✌🏼

[@leewebster7290]

I hope you keep doing these, for the first time I feel like I have a friend that understands to watch with. If your taking requests my vote is for Illusion Z vs Tantrum

[@daniellatkowsky6284]

Best guests yet. So much battle knowledge between these three. Like watching NBA games with Phil Jackson, Jordan and Kobe.

[@shahrozalix4]

Daniel Latkowsky Do not put these guys in the sentence with Jordan and Kobe smh....

[@daniellatkowsky6284]

TheSaurus is the most accomplished freestyle battler of all time, plus a written career. Illmac, in addition to his freestyle career, is a former KOTD champ. You can like or not like them, but their accomplishments can't be denied. They have the rings, like Jordan and Kobe.

[@shahrozalix4]

Daniel Latkowsky What rings... these guys are so ass in the modern era... maybe it's me but i don't watch nerd raps like you do

[@daniellatkowsky6284]

TheSaurus won the two biggest judged freestyle contests, twice each. Illmac won the KOTD championship. Those are the rings.

[@ActorsReal2Reel]

Love this idea to have battlers do commentary on older battles...would love to see one on Dizaster vs Locksmith or Dizaster vs Thesaurus...and would like to see avacado invite in okwerdz or pass since they were at the events

[@keef902]

Thesaurus AND Illmac on the same WATCH episode....couldn't ask for any better!!

[@scotty4437]

Great channel, love these uploads. Keep it up RYD crew:Avo, Clayton and LNS

[@mrbutt43]

Can we get a WATCH: Iron Solomon vs Dizaster?

[@robbbyyy25]

Saurus and illmac need to do a 2v2 against any team!!!

[@dallasbagley]

robbbyyy25 vs DNA/K-Shine

[@thomasabbott2132]

they did, and won many many competitions

[@syanide27]

robbbyyy25 only team they have left to battle is Marlo and shuffle t

[@robbbyyy25]

I knowww they battled in WRC's lol, duh

[@lukewestwest]

BEST FUCKING BATTLE TO DO A ONE-OFF LIKE 3-5Minute round rematch now . Pass is active and would try vs hollow probably. And hollow would have to do well or his " #1 "spot would be questioned

[@lukewestwest]

Make this shit happen lmao

[@saij010]

Nitty vs Myers next!

[@caseywalker1714]

HELL FUCKING YEAH

[@tooomanyzebraz]

naaah nitty vs ave

[@caseywalker1714]

***** As well

[@johncase6578]

Nitty vs ANYONE!

[@playsdays2649]

This is the first time I came across this & this battle is one I still watch till this day I knew I wasn’t the only one that felt this way about this classic battle. Hollow was jus another level.

[@noname-ve7wo]

also I really appreciate thesaurus being such a chill and cool dude. it shows in battles how much he loves this battle rap shit. he always clapping for his opponent when they spit good shit. thesaurus the man. def top 3

[@MobKnowledge]

"I'ma watch what Hollow did and do it worse."

[@DamienMMA]

the comment about Hollow at 12:12 solidifies the fact that Hollow is Battle raps Batman

[@dallasbagley]

Would like to see some of the Blackout 5 battles reviewed!

[@paulneiland2006]

this is great avo, we need more with this type of ppl,there knowledge about everything is just on another level, and you could listen to them for hours talking about battles

[@26Lucid]

The dream team (ill and thesaurus) should watch TheSaurus / Illmaculate vs Manik / Spyte together....Would LOVE to hear Illmac and thesaurus RIP into Manik hahaha

[@jordanleon7152]

26Lucid This would be great that battle is hilarious.

[@anonymousanomie1]

I thought that Native American angle was so dope when I first saw that

[@dwaynoinsano5053]

I agree!

[@-MRN-]

Great little concept 'Cado. These are fun to watch.

[@calebkoia-hamling6057]

These vids are 🔥🔥🔥 Illmac is the man to listen to, and Thesaurus and Avo are hella smart. When I watch a regular battle now I pause it every minute or so and imagine something awesome Illmac would say. Also...Illmac, your music is fucken Flames too. I'd never heard of Chase before these vids either, but I started searching his beats and your guys songs, and you dudes are sick. I have Worst Nightmare on repeat while I'm out running.

[@matthewganley5951]

I've watched this battle more than any other. Never tires.

[@Mike-hj7gg]

hollow vs pass is arguably the greatest battle of all time.. for years that was the level battlers were trying to hit, and everyone got more creative after hollows ps7 shit.

[@cortneyjermainejones]

Thank you very much for uploading great content in a battle rap drought. It's gotten me thru this tough time.

[@RuinYourDayNow]

no problem bro!

[@examper22]

I still don't know what Pass said at 25:53

[@user-xx3uz9pu4u]

You guys should do some grind time daylyt or old daylyt footage

[@OGRedWill]

Yo this is amazing. Perfect timing I might add, because I recently have been doing my annual, semi-annual revisits of classic battles and I'm really digging the watch through with you and your guests. Thes and Illmac really know the ins and outs of this and listening to them speak on it is so on point. Thank you. Sub'd

[@ronhenderson783]

makes me feel like I have friends who like battle rap

[@MestizoMentality]

Thesaurus & Illmac should do their own Battle Rap Podcast/KZbin.

[@JuvyThaKid]

Saurus and Illmac on this, all while Avo's hair is spiked up looking like back in the day Avo. Dope episode!!

[@Ninjastar13]

thesaurus is a much better person for these than chase Moore. Please do more with thesaurus. these videos are great!

[@OfficialTWSandco]

The Saurus, Illmac, Avo and Lush are literally the GOATs of this. One of all four of them PLEASE - or if they have, let me know! Also, need to see people analyse The Saurus vs. Fresco!

[@wg8262]

They need to do more hollow battles on this

[@naikage7748]

the last 3 minutes was great insight on freestyling in today's game. thought that conversation was dope af.

[@RevengeOfThaNerd]

Hollow said this is one of the only battles he think he might have lost.

[@TheKyleAye]

I just visted pass and hollows myspace lol

[@thomasabbott2132]

More grindtime battles!

[@dwellzzerokool1016]

[@TD31093]

[@anautumnforcrippledchildre8369]

Great watch! I agree it's real had to call this battle.

[@weatherman68]

Wicked T shirt Pete👍

[@floydgoforth9537]

I love when these guys watch battles

[@mr100x3]

This is until this day one of the top 5 bottles of all time, still think hollow won though.

[@useyouforfood]

Cool to see how much mutual respect Illmac and Hollow have for each other.

[@LieDetectorMusic]

This was a great idea

[@ippolit4262]

Pass came heavy with it..that being said if anything Hollow took this battle 3-0-1 on my last watch of this battle I used to think it was a draw but Hollow just hits more pure punches I think outweighs a handful of special bars from Pass..Classic tho

[@ChaseMooreTV]

fuck yes! RYD/WATCH squad all day

[@Menibor1]

Can these two beat shine and DNA?

[@muslimlilreese5606]

I would like y'all to watch calicoe vs pat stay or Tay roc vs Cortez. That would be dope

[@RuinYourDayNow]

we'll do both of those eventually. good battles!

[@FentySeroquel]

B-Magic vs Tay Roc too! Or DNA vs K-Shine

[@muslimlilreese5606]

RUIN YOUR DAY alright thanks

[@rayshawncrazycatch324]

Muslim lil reese ummm calicoe already battled pat stay and he bullied the shit outta pat stay its on youtube

[@muslimlilreese5606]

TRIGGA I said watch the battle not set it up lol

[@miles848]

bunch of GOAT's

[@vanillaice4390]

Who here checked out some myspace sites while watching this? Damn I miss when Hollow was a regular on the scene. Love this series.

[@tehBIT]

is that the regular sculpin or the grapefruit one?

[@tehBIT]

wait thats a dorado, nvm

[@JesusDoesntYield33]

"But I wouldn't let you hardly meet her"

[@f2afinito983]

"he way wrong he can't get me with rhymes ..just what u need Raekwon Chef and design Akon Bentley to shine Dre songs Em at his prime you Trey logs infinite 9s bombs like napalm extended the line and James Bond proximity minds you need arch nemesis mind Arms like Big Dogg when he lifting that Iron and fast as hedgehog in genesis time....." -Hollow da goat ( that's my favorite opening) and 1st round idc what anybody says about I have to say but thesaurus 1st vs dumbfounded was by far one of my favorite first I know it was racist or w.e the fuck but this is battle anything pass we can scrap for that don't talk between my rounds we got smack for that

[@tmt1675]

Not big on rematches but this needed a fifth. They should run it back for real especially since pass was back against will!

[@moa6189]

who is the guy in the middle, never saw him before this and I have been watching battles for over ten years now.

[@RuinYourDayNow]

nobody.

[@moa6189]

RUIN YOUR DAY not funny, i honestly asked a question

[@petediaz9173]

Mohamed Abi his name is Avacado. I think he used to be a camera guy for Grind Time or something. Might still be for KOTD.

[@y0kiddyz1]

Mook vs Serious Jones. Dizaster vs Dna Dizaster vs Nocando Eurgh vs 24/7 Danny Myers vs. Bdot Thesaurus vs Fresco Hollow vs Lux Arsonal vs Conceited

[@dallasbagley]

still think pass got that. his cadence is way cleaner than hollow's, and his content was direct and hard hitting. great battle tho, a true classic. back when battle rap was original, and stylistically vast. i damn near can't stand it now.

[@ThaPolarBoy]

Hollow Definitely Won this but it was a great battle

[@TheJohnCooper]

Best GT battle!
