This was an amazing era in battle rap. I remember checking the jumpoff website every week for the new battles. That's how they used to do them right? Does anyone remember when they would upload? Like every Friday?
They had a schedule where they would release the different divisions. But it started out as Monday or Tues then Thursday uploads one at 7:00AM and one a 1:00PM
The b roll camera is actually really refreshing to see. It's like you're actually there and looking around the room. Kinda feels like I'm in a time machine right now.
End of the battle shows the difference between Canadians and Americans. Canadians are a class act for their respect they give to their opponents and their honesty admitting the decision was shacky! Respect to Porich and Kid Twist...Class act!! Calm down, I'm American.
@100kidane I think this footage is the same tape as the finals with Illmac and Thesaurus vs Quest and Marv that got stolen, so they had to use the shitty backup filmers tapes.
2 classic lines from rich in this: "i can't believe i get to say this to someone... YOU'RE SHORT" "you call yourself thesaurus cause you can find him in kids' classrooms across america"
@TheAustinFulcher The original footage was stolen, this is the second camera. Read the disclaimer, its in bold face font at the beginning of the video.
Mmm... Twist and Rich are some humble dudes, but I agree that they got it in 3. They need to give themselves more credit, and I already mentioned I think they edged the first match IMO, if they got the W on that they would've won 2-0 and took the victory. Unfortunately they fell off in the 3rd match which cost them, oh well, good shit!
to record reactions , they can cut to peoples faces during punchlines and then back to the rappers, its a technique yo , one camera stays on the rappers and the other camera gets footage from the crowd they can edit pieces into the final cut
second camera means that he was there to get crowd reactions and filler video. take 2 seconds to read the begining of the video and you'd see they said camera 1's tapes were stolen.
So many fire punches on both sides, this is probably my favorite acapella battle. Bonus points for Kid Twist making a line about Thesaurus' sportsmanship WHILE Thesaurus is making the "sour face".
I think it was definitely the right call. The Canadians had sick punches coming up all the time, while Thesaurus and Illmac only delivered a few really good lines.
"4 years younger and makes music 100 times better" "walking contradiction" "dirty neck-beard" "thesaurs's sportsmanship" "couldn't palm a baseball" "justifies war"
who the fuck stole the tapes? that's fucked up. u was gonna get to see it eventually, son. no need to be greedy, shoooo. i think these quiet indoor settings hurt the deliveries. they need ambient noise to yell over, SERIOUSLY.
Kid Twist should've won the WRC by himself. He had by far the best material of anyone in the competition. "And I think it's so cool that you have a midget slave/When he acts up, you put him in his cage and slap him like, 'bitch, behave.'" "Thank God you're here, without you your team would have no filler."
props to the canadians for their honesty, no-one gets anywhere in this world being mr nice guy but if you feel embarrased by a win....it REALLY wasnt a motherfuckin win!!!!!
Actually, second cameras are good for getting reactions, or context shots based on what battlers say. This could only be used in post editing and inserted when possible.
Kid Twist / Poorich were so surprised that they won, but I thought they were better that round. Other than the stuttering bit, they were better the whole time. That's one line out of 100 anyway. Round one went to Thesaurus. I agree with the judges.
And for the record, the point of a discussion is to pay attention to the semantics of one's comments. I do not read minds, hence I listen or in this context read words and address what is expressed. Again, if you wish to critique elements of a culture do that in it's proper context. But in this context, your comments are far left of a centered arguement. This is a battle rap competition that does ot reflect the entire culture of Hip-Hop. Peace.
Can anyone, Posting all this shit about the poor camera work, actually read? It says at the start that the main cameras tapes were stolen, so they were forced to use all the footage from the second camera, which is only there to catch people reactions..
yeah i love their sportsmanship and they are right they should be overtime. I would have reacted the same way, class act. Good battle too, but def deserved an OT as did the first battle.
Another good battle. The winner is sigh, the people from Toronto..... POORICH AND KID TWIST ARE THE PEOPLE FROM TORONTO. LOL. Any comments on that anyone... I don't think he was gonna say there names but maybe I'm jumping the gun I probably would have snapped like rich. But maybe we will never know
CappedInAmerica lol No!I came up with it when this battle dropped back in 07!Juimpoff had a forum dedicated to the world rap championships only!It was there I posted it!Might still be there!
Your point is noted, but I believe you're getting paying undue attention to the semantics of my comment. Regardless of what this particular battle entailed, there exists an undeniable trend in hip hop and rap as a whole of degrading women. There are many contemporary feminists who are rigidly opposed to this genre of music for exactly that reason.
@MCLogikILL sick comment bro....Its very well appreciated by canadians like myself to hear shit like that. I have mad respect for the states and their battle leagues. Without americas battle leauges like GT, well then i doubt KOTD would even exist. I got respect for anyone who can spit, regardless of where they are from.
No dude I thought the first battle was close and was gonna go into over time but definitely though Illmac and thesaurus took this one by quite a large margin

This was an amazing era in battle rap. I remember checking the jumpoff website every week for the new battles. That's how they used to do them right? Does anyone remember when they would upload? Like every Friday?
Same. I feel this era was important and helped create the battle scene we have today
They had a schedule where they would release the different divisions. But it started out as Monday or Tues then Thursday uploads one at 7:00AM and one a 1:00PM
you gotta love thesaurus' response to every one of twist/poorich's punches,
nods his head twice, then rolls his eyes
😹
The b roll camera is actually really refreshing to see. It's like you're actually there and looking around the room. Kinda feels like I'm in a time machine right now.
i think Quest and Marv jacked the footage
lol
Agree.
I remember watching this!!!
I didnt realize all these KOTD guys came over. This is nuts!
"Look, the smallest guy teamed up with someone whose tall and wide. Every picture of you is wallet size" Superb!
3:45 when that guy said the punchline about studdering and illmac said the punchline back was sick
End of the battle shows the difference between Canadians and Americans. Canadians are a class act for their respect they give to their opponents and their honesty admitting the decision was shacky! Respect to Porich and Kid Twist...Class act!! Calm down, I'm American.
"you call yourself thesaurus cause you can find him in kids' classrooms across america" what a line
How the fuck does Kid Twist have so many lines? I never hear this guy run out of lines or spit filler. He is a machine.
@100kidane I think this footage is the same tape as the finals with Illmac and Thesaurus vs Quest and Marv that got stolen, so they had to use the shitty backup filmers tapes.
"look, the smallest guy,
teamed up with one whose tall and wide
every picture of you is wallet sized"
kid twist is so sick
I wonder if marvon and Quest Mcody really did steal the tapes lol
who was in the final battle for the chamionship in 07? i can't find it anywhere
2 classic lines from rich in this:
"i can't believe i get to say this to someone... YOU'RE SHORT"
"you call yourself thesaurus cause you can find him in kids' classrooms across america"
there is a camera for that, but the tapes were stolen, so they had to use this footage.
@TheAustinFulcher The original footage was stolen, this is the second camera. Read the disclaimer, its in bold face font at the beginning of the video.
haha that was so funny when he said thesaurus's sportsmanship, shows his face when he's rolling eyes and frowning, lmao
@AllDaySA they have multiple cameras for different angles. and they edit all the angles into one.
@AllDaySA
how do you even know if it was the camera man
I would love to see a documentary made about this whole competition.
Kid twist and poorich were really humble about it all at the end
Mmm... Twist and Rich are some humble dudes, but I agree that they got it in 3. They need to give themselves more credit, and I already mentioned I think they edged the first match IMO, if they got the W on that they would've won 2-0 and took the victory. Unfortunately they fell off in the 3rd match which cost them, oh well, good shit!
lmao, I think the main camera got stolen or something
Why is it "pooRich" instead of "poRich?"
I just noticed It's like that on very jump off video, maybe they fell out or something 😆
Poop rich
He changes it later
cuz hes poo
Poor-rich, Poorich, what you dont understand?
@AllDaySA Obviusly this camra was for short clips every now and then......
i wanna see that battle too. damn. hommy and twist are 2 of my favs. they have such comedic presence
whats up wit the camera man
@colliscarlitobrazil He's the back up camera man. The original camera man's footage got stolen, so they had to use the back up film.
is that craig g as 1 of the judges?
Poorich and KidTwist are monsters!
I was waiting for dope lines baout scribble and rain check, here they are.
to record reactions , they can cut to peoples faces during punchlines and then back to the rappers, its a technique yo , one camera stays on the rappers and the other camera gets footage from the crowd they can edit pieces into the final cut
Fair enough. This has been an enlightening exchange. Perhaps we could settle things once and for all with a battle of our own?
second camera means that he was there to get crowd reactions and filler video. take 2 seconds to read the begining of the video and you'd see they said camera 1's tapes were stolen.
Maximum respect to pooRICH and Kid Twist for admiting they didn't deserved that win
hahahaha "jimmy netron" - line killed it
Definitely should've went to overtime
So many fire punches on both sides, this is probably my favorite acapella battle. Bonus points for Kid Twist making a line about Thesaurus' sportsmanship WHILE Thesaurus is making the "sour face".
I think this was like the backup camera tapes cuz the original tapes were stolen.
is poorich's and others facebook's actually really them?
Is that Arkaic & Cruger in the crowd? LOL
I think it was definitely the right call. The Canadians had sick punches coming up all the time, while Thesaurus and Illmac only delivered a few really good lines.
camera man is terrible. he taped more of the crowd and judges, than the rappers.
@goolie707zilla i dont mean any offence or anything, but i dont understand the comment. The host said porich and twist are from toronto.
Should have been a double elimination tournament. Would have loved to see the other teams facing off
i love how when they say the people from Toronto win pooRICH yells poorrich and kidtwist are the people from toronto.
toronto guys did deserve it, I love the Illmaculate/The Saurus but this one... The guys from toronto as great sportsmen deserved it!!!
I remember this one honestly both bodied each other here damn
3:19 How old is Eurgh lol
Illmac and Thesaurus don't predict often, but when they do, it's always an entire line.
man, this is one of the illest battle ive ever seen..
@jimrome21 i guess you dont know about the tapes
"4 years younger and makes music 100 times better"
"walking contradiction"
"dirty neck-beard" "thesaurs's sportsmanship" "couldn't palm a baseball" "justifies war"
they're just giving them too much respect i thought they won this by a considerable margin, twist lines are dope, they won it big time
At least they were being honest in the interviews. Nice sportsmanship.
I think Kid Twist was the most slept on MC throughout this battle.
These guys are way too modest. They won this by a little, and they straight won the first battle against Ill and Thesaurus.
@battlerudee by now i meant the present...and his battle in 09 wit dumbfounded was crazy!
Rip ph
lol at the camera being zoomed in to that girl at 4:35
Check out that Kid Twist vs Porich....Deep battle
ha they put the camera to his shirt at 1:34 lol wheres the woman's shirt?
and "he really wanted you on the tape, but he heard your words and was like "saurus ill just take a raincheck on the verse""
"you rap about as good as george bush justifies war" that was nice, could have gotten a little more crowd reaction...
who the fuck stole the tapes? that's fucked up. u was gonna get to see it eventually, son. no need to be greedy, shoooo. i think these quiet indoor settings hurt the deliveries. they need ambient noise to yell over, SERIOUSLY.
lmao did you see arkaic and eurgh?
Kid Twist should've won the WRC by himself. He had by far the best material of anyone in the competition.
"And I think it's so cool that you have a midget slave/When he acts up, you put him in his cage and slap him like, 'bitch, behave.'"

i wanna see KID TWIST & ORGANIK team up in the next wrc
yeah i love their sportsmanship and they are right they should be overtime. I would have reacted the same way, class act. Good battle too, but def deserved an OT as did the first battle.
yeah, poorich got a lot of swagger from iron
Learn to read. It says why at the start of the video.
It says in the beginning they had to use the second camera. Jesus Christ learn how to read.
lol Kid Twist and pooRich's attitudes at the end were so Canadian.
Cocky yet modest. and I'm a canuck so don't hate ;)
Lmfao Mazi's feelings got hurt.
Illmac was in god mode for this whole series
Another good battle. The winner is sigh, the people from Toronto.....
POORICH AND KID TWIST ARE THE PEOPLE FROM TORONTO. LOL. Any comments on that anyone... I don't think he was gonna say there names but maybe I'm jumping the gun I probably would have snapped like rich. But maybe we will never know
Agree. Then he got offended after not saying there names.
@RyanLkirk yh who stole it
The fuck was the camera man even thinking? Even if the tapes weren't stolen, what would they have used this footage for? WTF
Is it me or does the canadian guys say pre written...
Drunk or sober one punch it's over for this shrunken Ogre and his fucking vulture!!
That's what I would have said.
iTzYoMaster And it only took you 8 years to come up with that!
CappedInAmerica lol No!I came up with it when this battle dropped back in 07!Juimpoff had a forum dedicated to the world rap championships only!It was there I posted it!Might still be there!
iTzYoMaster you just bit a bar from a pat stay battle and posted it here. Nice try though ✌

@MCLogikILL sick comment bro....Its very well appreciated by canadians like myself to hear shit like that. I have mad respect for the states and their battle leagues. Without americas battle leauges like GT, well then i doubt KOTD would even exist. I got respect for anyone who can spit, regardless of where they are from.
i can't believe I gained respect for porich, I didn't kno he was around in the freestyle days.
Am I the only one that thought Ill and Thesaurus killed them?
No dude I thought the first battle was close and was gonna go into over time but definitely though Illmac and thesaurus took this one by quite a large margin
i'm listenin to this and saying GO CANADA! and kid twist is a fuckin champ. i seen him rap in T.O. and he ripped shit up
when the camera goes on people laughing they feel self concious and it kills their buzz
"honestly, you're a great dude...but i hate you for frankie wapps and jaze juce...and for that, i hate you" - kid twist
rotflmao!
"honestly, you're a great dude...but i *blame* you for frankie wapps and jaze juce...and for that, i hate you" - kid twist
that is the correct quote.
i love how its poorich lol
Kid Twist has an "I'm about to cry" face.
thats the vibe here in canada.
we mad chill
Everyone says Poorich and Kid Twist's rhymes are written, but why would they be so wack?
Syanide fried as hell
i cant believe ppl are still commenting on this
watch the WRC 06. all the battles they did in one day, thats stamina
