I remember watching this for the first time like 6 years ago and not paying Whashisface & Possessed any mind...but now coming back and really listening to them, they were sick! No doubt Illmac & Thesaurus were dope AF and deserved the win but Whashisface & Possessed definitely deserved a lot more crowd reaction.
Still Chillin Its fuckin crazy cuz me n my homie were JUST talkin about this shit.. lmao.. Back then i thought they were fucking HORRIBLE. I couldnt understand the concept of english people that rap. It fucked my head up.. We would watch this battle just to laugh at how they sound.. lmfaooo.. And now all these years later, after im used to hearing them rap now, they actually were pretty good.. Possessed was all around fire.. If he had a different partner, the battle woulda ended up alot closer.. Cuz Whashisface said some incredibly SUPER corny shit more than a few times lol
"All those acne jokes you thought were sick as hell aply to him as well, you look like christian baile has sickle cell, and survived the bombing of the british rail" probably the best freestyle quote from any wrc
this isnt ny vs london, thesaurus is from california and illmaculate is from some random state next to california. this is a wikipedia type of situation
I cant believe how long ago this was! I was at this battle & I remember the feeling/Energy was radiating from them you could feel it, and at a certain point you just felt Mac/Saurus get stronger and Possessed/WHF fade out. West Coast/PacNW Represented that night 💯 Portland & Oakland #PDX503OAK510
This shit is what got me started on battle rap. I remember watching WRC clips on whatever the cable company was I don't remember but man it's sick to see what battle rap became
possessed and face held it so well. they had some sick punches, possessed about "even if you were in orbit your tunes wouldn't be out of this world." That's amazing! But they only held a candle in the sunshine, Illmac and Saurus performed their signature desctruction. sick battle.
ah yes, because saying someone with a big nose and lips has a big nose and lips has ANYTHING whatsoever to do with race ... sounds like YOU'RE the only racist one here, kid. knew there'd be some SJWs here somewhere ...
i am certain if there was only one white rapper and the others made white jokes against him, which they would, you would not be calling that racist. you liberals seem to think it is only possible for whites to be racist ... literally a racist concept by definition. please educate yourself. i hope you've matured SOME in the last two years ...
The way Possessed and Whashisface came out was MURDEROUS!!! - The first and second rounds of this battle are the best battles I've ever seen on JUMPOFF
I am an English guy, with American family, so perhaps I am the least biased person here. But either way, I think that Thesauraus and Illmaculate won, but anyone denying that the English guys have a lot of talent are being pathetic. That two-faced symmetrical batman line is better than any other insult I have heard towards Thesaurus and that was off the dome. I mean come on, both teams were so impressive.
That was so fierce everytime I watch it i get pumped up....but the line about the boxing gloves being used for the black guys nostril plugs just killed it....wow
So many racist jokes, that are so not okay today. Almost felt like punching them if I think about those jokes seriously. It is a big no no even in fs rap battles.
Whashisface and Possessed's first round was nuts. If they stayed on that level, they likely would've won the shit. Illmac and Saurus just came uberly consistent and they up their game on a big stage for sure.
honistly i think that they should have more battles with us british, maybe some welsh MC's. i think theres allot of potencial for allot of the british MC's aswell as americans and others dont get me wrong. but i think this could be the next best thing. MC's from all over grouping together to spit with there best skills. what do you think?
i was wondering if that was going to be brought up, when mentioning britney i was refering to the rubbish music part, but il take the blame for that... and i dont want to seem like im just finding ways to attack the US, but at least u are showing that they arent immune :)
So obviously some big changes were made to WRC between 06 and 07. Saurus and Illmac aren't from NY, and Whashisface/Possessed couldn't even stand with Jaze and Wapps let alone the rest of the finalists from 07. Was it just a lot of expansion, more teams enrolled type thing?
I know I'm 15 years late, but is all of their spitting actually freestyle? It seems like they are thinking of rhymes on the spot, but they still spit mad bars like it's nothing.
There was none, didn't have enough money because the tapes got stolen during the 07 season remember? They're doing the preseason for '09 already though.
i was with you with thinking that needed OT but the last round really favored the US and the momentum just went their way...this battle is now legendary so i would have loved to hear an OT even if it didn't count just to hear what they would have spit....
It's insane to think that all of this content and these crazy bars was only for $5,000 each person. Even back in the day, it's not that much money for the amount of effort and preparation put into each battle.
Not really. Every now and then you'll hear a pre-meditated punchline thrown in, usually involving a play on name(s). If you want to watch written battles check out SMACK URL or King Of The Dot.
im rappin it darker
+Dom Varl hahahahahahahaha
lmao
+Dom Varl the greatest set up of all time, pamflit is the king of rapping it darker though
if Possessed had a better partner they woula did alot better.. Battle woulda been alot closer
your mom's bush looks like it came from an average gardner who was also plasterd and bonkers.
"Yo,I'm very...mad...." 6 years later n its still freakin hilarious.
16 years now and still…
thats why I came! whats the time stamp!? LOL edit ; 6:45

100% agree! Watching this now as compared to 5/6 years ago when I first seen it is totally different. Just develop a different perspective I guess.

Listen to Rhyme Asylum - thats who they are. Uk underground still killing it
o War Cloud o Well rhyme asylum will never stop killing it but haven’t made music for like 10 years so
Whashisface spit it way darker than everyone tbh
"It's Two-Face from Batman if his face was symmetrical"
Hahahaa
RIP!!!
"All those acne jokes you thought were sick as hell aply to him as well, you look like christian baile has sickle cell, and survived the bombing of the british rail"
probably the best freestyle quote from any wrc
Watched this 16 years later again, dont get more legendary than this.
man this entire comp was so amazing...following illmac and thesaurus was like following jordan in his early days
Still watching 2019 the good ol days
"Yo I'm very...mad" I love thsi UK freestyle setup lines!!
6:48 yo i'm... very mad >:]
DoobSteppe lmfaooooooo that part always gets me.. every time
Hahahaha
Every time I repeat I laugh 😂🤣😂
"you gambled your life and dug your grave with an ace of spades"
possessed won this battle.
He carried his team but he got smoked
My statement's incredible
I'll make you a spectacle
It's Two-Face from Batman if his face was symmetrical.....fuckin' sick
Maaaaan, I remember waiting for each vid to drop from this back in the day!
“Yellin’ ain’t a dope style and neither is yellin’” 😂😂🔥
Still a classic!! It’s dam’near 2024 🔥🔥🔥
this isnt ny vs london, thesaurus is from california and illmaculate is from some random state next to california. this is a wikipedia type of situation
If possessed had a better partner, it would have ended differently.
i thought the same
Detriment Hip Hop Reain is nice, but let’s be honest, someone like arkaic being on his team would’ve made it a lot closer.
Detriment Hip Hop Arkaic I felt was more consistent with his punches. Especially in the 07 WRC’s. Respeck BA probably would’ve been the best though.
Look up ‘rhyme asylum’ ....
Just imagine if psiklone was battling, if he teamed up with possessed they'd obliterate anyone
Whashisname and Possessed got hella slept on for real, still lost tho
.LMAO
I cant believe how long ago this was!
I was at this battle & I remember the feeling/Energy was radiating from them you could feel it, and at a certain point you just felt Mac/Saurus get stronger and Possessed/WHF fade out.

Represented that night 💯
Portland & Oakland
#PDX503OAK510
I saw this the moment it out and i still always have to watch it, its amazing these guys are my generation,
Whashisface is nice, but I would have liked to have seen Respek BA team up with Possessed instead.
suaved I like him I don't like the saurus I remember when this came out half pipe lol
And illmac ripped solomon
"yo, i'm .. very mad" .. bwahahahaha possessed needs a new partner.
possessed is awesome
rhyme asylum is one of the best groups ever
wtf is the name of the intro song ? i just wanna get a sample from it
TheSaurus and Illmac are mad humble. After every match, they say alot more than, "You guys killed it." or something, to their opponents. Mad respect.
This shit is what got me started on battle rap. I remember watching WRC clips on whatever the cable company was I don't remember but man it's sick to see what battle rap became
you get better at battle rap through practice? - or is that based purely on talent.
"Gambled you life and dug you grave with an ace of spades"... Possessed why did you stop rapping..??
Detriment Hip Hop I’m beginning to lose hope completely
Does saurus is in a rap band o where can I find his music??
crowd a little bit biased?
Either way both teams were good. mac/saurus deserved the win
These were some of the first videos I watched on youtube back in the day. Crazy how time flies man
possessed has a dope voice. illmac and saurus did deserve the win though they blanked out much less times and were over all more solid
possessed and face held it so well. they had some sick punches, possessed about "even if you were in orbit your tunes wouldn't be out of this world." That's amazing!
But they only held a candle in the sunshine, Illmac and Saurus performed their signature desctruction.
sick battle.
Moral of the story: Racism is ok if you can make it rhyme
snowflake
I think it's ok but only in battle
What an SJW doing watching rap battles XD
ah yes, because saying someone with a big nose and lips has a big nose and lips has ANYTHING whatsoever to do with race ... sounds like YOU'RE the only racist one here, kid. knew there'd be some SJWs here somewhere ...

who is "harry" that illmac and saurus keep referring to?? ive heard marv and quest and hom and piff say his name too. Does he run jumpoff??
MEMORIES
How can you compare when reain and posessed was 100% freestyle and most of thesaurus and illmaculate where writtens.
5:55 "It looks like something Hannibal's EAHEN!" I laughed there but not for the reason he intended.

WRC06 and 07 was sick ! I remember a dope Spin the Mic with illmac winning too

actually possessed is hands down the best rapper in the UK.. Listen to poison penmanship

So many racist jokes, that are so not okay today. Almost felt like punching them if I think about those jokes seriously. It is a big no no even in fs rap battles.
There is no way that Illmac makes better music than Possessed.
Possessed is the best lyricist ever to live, no doubt.
Whashisface and Possessed's first round was nuts. If they stayed on that level, they likely would've won the shit. Illmac and Saurus just came uberly consistent and they up their game on a big stage for sure.
whashisface sucks. Possessed was sick though.
true
The Pope Mobile whashisface helf up possessed a lot during the prelims.... both teams had single members get burnt out as the homie holds em up.
Dont sleep on Rhyme Asylum
was this filmed on a webcam or something? quality is terrible.
another round?? they killed it on the first verse, now question who won this one
what is that song when the video start?
Here's a question and I'm being serious. Why, when a British person raps, does it seem like it just makes their accent heavier?
@blackmanchris all the best rock bands are from the uk, umad?
This is seriously one of the most entertaining battles ever.
Final battle and they cant even upload in HD?
idk about that. Have you listened to any of Illmac's music? It's pretty dope
honistly i think that they should have more battles with us british, maybe some welsh MC's.
i think theres allot of potencial for allot of the british MC's aswell as americans and others dont get me wrong. but i think this could be the next best thing. MC's from all over grouping together to spit with there best skills. what do you think?
How did these 2 guys from UK make it to Vegas?thank god for the skip button for the wankers part
Holy shit this is such a crazy battle. These are definitely two of the best teams in the world.
i was wondering if that was going to be brought up, when mentioning britney i was refering to the rubbish music part, but il take the blame for that... and i dont want to seem like im just finding ways to attack the US, but at least u are showing that they arent immune :)
what did the british guys say? i couldnt understand

Illmac and thesaurus is like the Jordan and pippen of battle rapping. Best duo ever!
where can i find it?
@polkin56
Do you actually think Eminem could beat Thesaurus or Illmac in a rap battle?
Poison Penmanship is just a long verse by Possessed
you can watch the explained lyrics on Rapgenius. com
okay im slow on this one i never got it can someone explain?
@KaiserFlamberge hav u ever heard klashnekoff -murder
sick made
Why was TheSaurus talking about Whas' nose?
There was none, didn't have enough money because the tapes got stolen during the 07 season remember? They're doing the preseason for '09 already though.
see illmac vs thesaurus? pretty tight battle that one is
what would you recommend starting with?
first time in a long while im satisfied with a youtube battle
i was with you with thinking that needed OT but the last round really favored the US and the momentum just went their way...this battle is now legendary so i would have loved to hear an OT even if it didn't count just to hear what they would have spit....
@PlatinumBD i think its like when thesaurus said something about possessed saying prick, i dunno if he did but he didnt say it alot
@mattyasasas I know that theres a underground Hip-Hop scene, but its relatively tiny.
cnt we tlk bout the battle?
i still come back and watch these battles in 2011 hell yeah
you do know Don't Flop is a written league right ? it sould make since you saying Lunar & Matter would beat them if you thought they were freestylin
what does he say at 10:59 - 11:03
When is that happening?
I love the respect between the groups after, and i too thought it would go to the 30s
"...but my boxing gloves would just supply you with nostril plugs"
im pretty sure "UK vs USA" has technically been done before.
@SNorTOb i also believe they dnt write anytthing but i kinda felt like they were sellin themselves short when they were talkin to the camera
All dope rappers. This is memorable shit.
how do these rappers keep straight faces during these insane battles... possessed and wha are both crazy even tho they were destroyed in this battle
great video and battle pity it never went to the knockout round.
Is this written raps?
how was this not ot man
both teams are amazing, best rap battle i've ever heard
It's insane to think that all of this content and these crazy bars was only for $5,000 each person. Even back in the day, it's not that much money for the amount of effort and preparation put into each battle.
is the saurus's face really that bad?
yo is it jus me saurus sound bare like badger from breaking bad
lol i don't think the whole battle is written.. they definitely have lines they bring in.. but there's no way
Not really. Every now and then you'll hear a pre-meditated punchline thrown in, usually involving a play on name(s). If you want to watch written battles check out SMACK URL or King Of The Dot.
Who's BA?
2024 still FIRE
man, illmac and the saurus totally took this and the second battle, no one can stop these two together
I didn't know turtle from Entourage could rap?
actully i think at 5.58 illmac said 'that was sick'... but i could be wrong.
Would love to see Illmac and thesaurus vs tenchoo and lego
