Keep raising the bar when you write for battles because you're going to be a BEAST if you keep up like this! Respect for a great effort in that battle!
I have watched this specific battle like 20+ times no bullshit over last couple year and I have come to a conclusion… This probably the best Reverse Live we ever seen. 🔥💪🏼
Reverse's 3rd was fucking insane. I had it 1-1 going into that round with a slight lean to Cali, but Reverse's 3rd was so hard-hitting that I think he decisively won this. Good battle though.
CALI WON THIS..this the FIRST TIME seeing him go off like this..I gotta review his past battle. Reverse Live edged that 3rd but his second and first didn't hit me as hard as Cali's did. This was a Good match tho...they really fought for this one
I just worry that rappers will start pulling no-shows when their record gets bad. You know how battlers are. I can imagine a whole lot of grandmas are gonna die when we see battlers start off 0-3.
If they do it’s not going to be a better look than putting in good efforts even if they lose though. People lose with brilliant performances. Better to do that than act as though stats are the most important aspect of it all. Takes at least two to battle :) (let’s overlook literal mirror matches for a moment).
bullshit. Cali SMOKED this one. I’ve never been a fan of Reverse. That said, he killed it but Cali was otherworldly Fam. How is that a 3-1 for the judges OR fans?? Are y’all really listening?
Reverse got the 3rd clear, Cali took the 2nd clear. I gotta rewatch the 1st. But off 1st watch Im edging the 1st round to Cali. He got his shit off cleaner, had better flows and that Nas bar was dope.
You know whats crazy is I know Reverse Live hella well personally in real life and nobody knows this but he actually freestyle'd this whole battle. Imagine when he starts kicking his written material
@@RuinYourDayNow Yeah to keep it real, i almost fully powered down my laptop when i saw Kevin Beechum wasn't the Hosting and passing a mic back in forth. hahahah
@@jonmarquis4952 in my opinion freestyle by definition means off the top. What they’re spitting here is pre-rehearsed and written material so whatever you wanna call that ✍️ 📝
Same, I gave the first two to Cali and the third to Reverse. Idk how the result was so strongly in favor of reverse. He had good material but he was sticking multiple times in the first two rounds
Tough to call a winner. Probably the best Cali performance I've seen. Reverse went nuts too. I'd edge it to Reverse but wouldn't be mad if others said Cali took it.
This battle was 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 both dudes killed it. Reverse's 3rd round was insane. This was my first time watching Cali Smoov battle and he impressed me too in this no lie. Good shit.
Also - this is probably obvious at this point, but the fan vote percentages are binary - they’re not reflections of you’re good or you’re not. A battle where a viewer feels it was 51%-49% still gets represented as a vote for whoever was on the 51% side for them. If 75% of the audience thinks that same person won, the group number is represented as 75% think battler A won, and 25% think battler B won. The percentages of the group don’t illustrate how close of a margin the victory was.
2-1 Smoov. Reverse got the 3rd. Idk how everyone picked Reverse cause his first two had a lot of stumbles and Smoov had better punches/performance in those rounds. Reverse only turned up the energy in the third
I’ve always been a fan of these dudes that being said I think reverse live took it 2-1. He was more direct with his angles and they landed IMO. Sometimes it be like that.
Reverse had a powerful ass third, especially considering A. all the white angles Cali used, and B. Cali said he never gets personal. Live 2-1, 2nd and 3rd
Appreciate Lush bookin me 💯 much luv for the opp. Looking forward to touching that stage again, much luv 2 tha culture & RL always. - Cali Smoov
Love*
@@alanbeauvais2247 *Luv 🤞🏼

Bro that cadence that you got now is flawless. That made them punches hit real crazy.
Reverse was so fucking good in this battle. The whole spelling thing was fucking hilarious. Cali was super fire too though
I have watched this specific battle like 20+ times no bullshit over last couple year and I have come to a conclusion… This probably the best Reverse Live we ever seen. 🔥💪🏼
"Danny uses the universes once a round, you use a multi verse EVERY ROUND." that was crazy Cali
That 3rd round from reverse live was insane!!!
Came back to rewatch Reverse's 3rd.
Reverse's 3rd was fucking insane. I had it 1-1 going into that round with a slight lean to Cali, but Reverse's 3rd was so hard-hitting that I think he decisively won this. Good battle though.
Reverse 3rd was an excellent execution. Clearest round, even though Cali had a good round as well.
flaming yon
The guest lines from Reverse were crazy.
Sober Lush is street Dr. Evil. Good to see he's still walking the line!
Lush lookn like Gru from despicable me
Im glad lush is sober. But he's still the cringiest dude in battle rap by far
CALI WON THIS..this the FIRST TIME seeing him go off like this..I gotta review his past battle. Reverse Live edged that 3rd but his second and first didn't hit me as hard as Cali's did. This was a Good match tho...they really fought for this one
Reverse went OFF 2nd & 3rd!
Judges got this one right.
Thank you for dropping the battles!!
Reverse Live really upped his delivery over the years. Was barking in the 3rd. Glad to see it
Cali got the 1st easy. Seems like he pissed off Live, cause he bodied Cali in Rds 2 and 3.

I'm not a huge Cali fan, I am a RL fan. Cali got that 2-1 imo (first two)
Smooth's 3rd was tight as fuck, but Reverse talked that shit to Smooth in his 3rd. Reverse 2 - 1.
Reverse 2-1
Round 1: Cali
Round 2: Reverse
Round 3: Reverse
Glad to watch this again!
Reverse LIve's 3rd round edged it for me. Glad to see the dude still has that fire in him.
classic, cali smoov pushes the limit, criminal that this is at 15k views
Deff a classic
off Reverse Live's 3rd alone i give him the battle.... jesus christ what a godtier level 3rd... just amazing reverse... amazing
bullshit. Cali SMOKED this one. I’ve never been a fan of Reverse. That said, he killed it but Cali was otherworldly Fam. How is that a 3-1 for the judges OR fans?? Are y’all really listening?
Love both these battlers, Cali got the dub.
Book Danny Myers vs Reverse Live!
That 3rd from reverse was the deal breaker.
Always hype for a reverse live battle
Cali 2-1 clear
Reverse' 3rd is even more amazing on rewatch! Great performance from both!
I love when Reverse is super direct. Damn near unbeatable when he’s in that bag.
MyVerse vs my versatility, cut from the cloth… Cali thinking he’s RX🤣🤣🤣
Was hoping someone else caught that lol
It's cool to see Street Beef's anouncer here. Oh that's Lush? Man it seems like every battlerapper has leved up with the bars. Love it!
I see Lush been on that Cortez diet. Lol
I had Cali Rd 1 & 2. Surprisingly good battle. Best Smoov ever
Lush built like Uncle Fester outchea
'reverse the cross like an atheist'....i think he meant satanist or am i bugging?
Yeah Cali has a lot of lines like that. Plays really well with reverse live’s angle in his 2nd round basically calling Smoov stupid.
DUUUDE. Me Too. I was like uhhhh??
This would be a HARD battle to judge. Both of these dudes are consistent as hell.
Reverse got the 3rd clear, Cali took the 2nd clear. I gotta rewatch the 1st. But off 1st watch Im edging the 1st round to Cali. He got his shit off cleaner, had better flows and that Nas bar was dope.
Bruh I love this battle…both Reverse and Cali put the fuck on. Good shit y’all…
Every addict gets clean and then gets addicted to eating and gets fat. Then Eventually get really big into fitness and diet.
REVERSE LIVE WITH THE DEATH GRIPS SHIRT
21 either way. I preferred Cali
RIP Cadalack.
You know whats crazy is I know Reverse Live hella well personally in real life and nobody knows this but he actually freestyle'd this whole battle. Imagine when he starts kicking his written material
Wait these battles aren’t freestyle? WACK
@@RuinYourDayNow Yeah to keep it real, i almost fully powered down my laptop when i saw Kevin Beechum wasn't the Hosting and passing a mic back in forth. hahahah
No chance this was freestyle. Talking about stuff Cali said in previous battles that’s obviously premeditated
@@DontTripGg it's all technically freestyles but obviously it wasn't off the top...

cali alll day yall are tripping
I called it an edge for Reverse Live on Twitch, but watching it now I give the first two rounds to Smoov pretty clear; the third I edge to
Reverse.
Same, I gave the first two to Cali and the third to Reverse. Idk how the result was so strongly in favor of reverse. He had good material but he was sticking multiple times in the first two rounds
2-1 Reverse
Round 1 Cali Clear
Round 2 Live edge
Round 3 Live Clear
Tough to call a winner. Probably the best Cali performance I've seen. Reverse went nuts too. I'd edge it to Reverse but wouldn't be mad if others said Cali took it.
Caustic laughing at Lives punchlines was funny af lol
One of them ones!
Dope battle!
Chriiiiiisssss! Miss you at the events dude!
@@_EVIL_88 Ayo salute Cody! You killed it here. Looking forward to the next one.
This was a GREAT BATTLE. From start to finish. Odd match up but great battle
Oddly a classic, I edge it to Reverse, but Cali fire 🔥
Good shit fam. Verse looking good, Smooth came wit it, Lush keeping it real AF.. Everyone killed it. Shot well.
Reverse live bodied him in the second and third. glad someone finally talked about race hypocrisy towards asians in battling
Yooo... This my first time watching reverse live and he did not disappoint that man was 🔥🔥🔥
You been missing out. He's a Fresh Coast vet.
Lush is the biggest supporter of both sides everytime.
Love lush and Reverse Live. I remember them both from my Torretts days.
If the 1st episode is this 🔥HOT🔥. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.
Flaming Yon! 🔥
This battle was 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 both dudes killed it. Reverse's 3rd round was insane. This was my first time watching Cali Smoov battle and he impressed me too in this no lie. Good shit.
R1- RL
R2- CS
R3 - RL (his verse was incredible!)
2-1 Reverse Live!!
hell yea, i actually2 see Cali Smoove taking that clearly. Seems like an overall better rapper
Cali 2-1!
Live was cool but Cali is next level lyrical. I got Cali 2-1 Xcel vs Cali, set it up
Cali is too smoov 😩
These dudes WENT INNNN!! 🔥🔥🔥
HONESTLY I FEEL BAD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAD TO JUDGE THIS, BUT DAMN! We ain’t seen a Reverse Live like that in YEARS

Reverse ALWAYS been a problem since the first days of GT
probably the best battle of the tourney so far
Great battle
Why’s Lush look like Dr. Evil?
I can't unsee it 🤣🤣🤣
Reverse Live 2-1
I had Cali slight edge first watch. Let’s see if that changes.
Reverse 2-1 VERY SLIGHT EDGE 2nd watch. DOPE battle though🔥🔥🔥🔥
2-1 Smoov. Reverse got the 3rd. Idk how everyone picked Reverse cause his first two had a lot of stumbles and Smoov had better punches/performance in those rounds. Reverse only turned up the energy in the third
Reverse Live went crazy in that third round
Flaming Yon and deterialize are still excellent. This battle is fantastic on both sides
way closer than I thought it'd be. I could have seen it either way. 2nd was debatable
Scarface from Street beefs be wildin
Dope battle.
Shiiit reverse's 3rd round was insane
"Reversing rock songs like Lucifer's voice" 😲 Sick Led Zeppelin reference! This man needs to calm down
Reverse was good in first 2 but smashed 3rd, Cali strong in all 3 edge Cali
Bruh was not prepared to see Lush One with the Dana White hair wtf!!
Lush uno be looking like a dr evil from the hood lol but good to see him and this was a dooe battle
Cali Smoov killed this wtf
best kotd battle in a min
reverse the most underrated
Reverse's third was so hype. Luckily I don't have anything dropkickable near my computer as it would have gone out the window.
Fire battle
Close battle until the god-tier 3rd from Reverse.
Lush looking like The Penguin outta Batman
Lush out here looking like a fat Imhotep from the mummy.
Your comment is hilarious!! 🤣😂
you like the white version of bigg k lmaoooo
My man lush has changed man.
Lush is my favourite person in battle rap

Reverse had a powerful ass third, especially considering A. all the white angles Cali used, and B. Cali said he never gets personal. Live 2-1, 2nd and 3rd
Live on 🔥🔥🔥 KOTD really putting money where Battle Rapper's mouth is! 👏👏👏
Honestly, this battle could've went either way. They both were snapping... but I got Cali edging Reverse though.
So much fire.
