WATCH: RUM NITTY vs A. WARD with ILLMAC & CHASE MOORE

[@RuinYourDayNow]

This was Battle of the Year for a reason! 🤯 Who did you have winning?

[@PentHouseDrew]

RUM! 🥊 🐐

[@ebinflo102]

Edged it to Nitty, but fire back and forth and def deserves to be BOTY (so far) Wish we could get Nitty on some other leagues like RBE and C23 … KOTD def helped put him in position too. Love the watch on this! Thanks 🥑 🎉

[@Louie200Seven]

Rum Nitty 3-0. Edged every round

[@LieDetectorMusic]

Can't call it.

[@Wobbothe3rd]

This shouldn't be Battle of the year, lol. Rum 3-0

[@kasaunwilson]

Rum Nitty having all these Aaron flips after the crazy ones he had for Iron Solomon shows how great he is!

[@RyanMrTsunamiBishop]

Big facts! And it's crazy cause you never see his punches coming.

[@YaniY2k]

Exactly. All unique and unpredictable. He's one of the best to ever do this.

[@shashvatpandey7524]

Rum is the king of name flips, idc what anyone says. He literally has unlimited flips for everyone.

[@adammoss7707]

I still remember when they watched Nitty vs iLL Will and someone mentioned Illmac should battle Nitty and he said “why don’t y’all like me man? Why would y’all want that for me” 😂😂😂 mac has been consistent that he doesn’t want any part of that and it’s hilarious.

[@franciscoromo7512]

Yeah that shit made me laugh lol, I love when rappers admit others are goats. I mean I’m sure he’s coo with rum considering how close he is to geechi and LSC, but I wouldn’t want smoke with rum either even if I was a legend like ill lol

[@franciscoromo7512]

Their was a video where illmac said thesaurus knows like everything about everything, so when he writes a bar and thinks if someone has said it before he calls saurus to check lol. Love that they’re still goats and friends and acknowledge each other after all these years especially after the personals dropped in their battle. One of my favorites of all time tbh.

[@facesmelt9903]

Peak Illmac could easily make that a debateable

To think that people don't have nitty in their top 5 is so crazy to me. Without a doubt the best battler over the last 10 years.

[@durellpowell3324]

Easy

[@jluchette]

Nitty, Lyt, & Danny are all in my top five. Then there’s like 20 guys I feel like deserve the last 2 spots. But those three are consistently left out of “top battlers” lists and I don’t understand it.

[@hazzaw12]

@@jluchette I personally don't have Daylyt in mine but can see why you have him. Rum and Danny are my top 2 though, no debate. I think Roc maybe third and then there's a lot of people that could take the last spots

[@karateflix]

Glad to see someone else feels how I feel. Nitty material is just so damn crazy.

[@Eye_Rant]

Best out imo

[@mindslayer1404]

A Ward is the kind of guy you always leave out the GOAT conversation but everyone knows to be on their best when they battle him. I wouldn’t GOAT A Ward, but I damn sure wouldn’t call him anything less than top tier.

[@advtge7913]

That 4 horseman scheme by Nitty 😮🔥🔥

[@kvngafrica]

[@chrisptophu]

Eh, you could say that but i think he gave quite a few compliments too. Also acknowledged the great energy of the battle. On top of that as long as it’s not too much, i give rappers a pass on here because it’s in their nature to hear some shit and say “i coulda flipped that better”. You could disagree with that but he wasn’t just hating

“It’s not easy snatching respect huh. War of conquest, and my Fam in it (Famine it) til Death come. Lead dump, you see red your vision go black. Because you’ll go from the white horse to the pale one.” I’m surprised they didn’t talk more about this, Death (pale horse), Famine (black horse), War (red horse) and Conquest (white horse) are from Revelations. Since A WARD is a Christian this hit hard.

2 of my Top 5 favorite battle rappers of all time. 2 of my favorite rappers of all time period. I’ve probably watched this battle 10 times lol 1st Round went to Rum and probably the clearest round of the battle. Ward’s 1st was dope tho. Rum just dropped sp many haymakers you can’t deny him the round. 2nd Round was sooo close but I actually feel A Ward got the edge. I liked Ward’s instant “naysayers” rebuttal, Powell/gun sound, pow Powell bar, the alien scheme🔥🔥, claw machine, chess pass & adderall pill punch flow & pattern, Sun Devils build up/bar, N-L-U taking, let you down ender were better than Rum’s main offer bar, dead horse bar, nail gun🔥, 3rd ward/Katrina victim bar, PGA/engulfed, haymakers. Still a crazy Nitty round. The 3rd Round was extremely close. I think Rum probably just ever so slightly edged Ward out but it’s super close so I understand if someone gave it to Ward. 2-1 either way but Rum 2-1 is probably the most common score

I agree with Avo, every brings their best pen for Ward, even freaking Bill Collector was in rare form for Ward. One thing Ward needs to start doing a bit more is running back some bars, his alternate/all for nit/all to nit/alter nit/altar nit scheme would have definitely had the crowd joining in if he run it back and the same goes for that "punching a clock" bar. Overall Rum just had better crafted rounds, so I'd definitely give him the battle. But this is definitely one of them battles with huge replay value from bof'em.
