Thesaurus really is in the perfect position in battle rap. No one questions that he's one of the GOATs so he doesnt have to sweat a win or a loss, but he still comes with fire shit, helps put on up and comers, and gives credit where it's due. You the man, Pete.
The only bad thing about this battle is that Thesaurus had 3 fire ass rounds and still got smoked. Those 3 rounds against just about anybody else woulda been a bag, but Fresco said nah...
brizz vs mr wavy has similar energy, all 3 rounds brizz captures the entire round with his first line. a lot of hype for sure, but he deserved it lmao. the energy in that battle is fucking wicked. when brizz puts his hand over half his face and starts rapping in wavy face like I figured you'd be much taller in person The name's Brizz, I'll carve it in cursive On your jaw 'til it's hurtin', and it's hard to reverse it They'll ask, "What happened?" but it's too hard to talk to the nurses When the hole's so big, they gotta call in a surgeon They like, "Got-damn, Wavy! Was all of it worth it?" Brizz and his niggas strapped up, all of 'em Purgin' .9's and .5's, all of 'em workin' 9 to 5, all of 'em workin' I'm the Iceman, they callin' me Gervin Sick man, they callin' me Earvin Two .8's: they callin' me Irving Finger-fuckin' the triggers: I wouldn't call him a virgin BAOW! Headshot put his shit all over the curtain I’m the shit, you niggas better hope the toilet is workin’ Darkside, nigga ------the end of his 2nd round, at one point in the battle he litteraly gesture the cameraman to get closer cause he's about to bark in wavys face. the whole time some baddie is right out of frame giving a1 reactions. that battle has a crazy energy and does an excellent job demonstrating the importance of being able to control the "energy" of the room / stage / crowd / opponent / yourself / those watching later on youtube/ ect... not that brizz's bars in that battle weren't MILES ahead of wavys,,,, because they were lol. i'm saying it doesn't matter what wavy spit, he was gonna lose... brizz just has the ability to have his performance transcend rap in a way i haven't seen anyone else come close to. maybe twork at his (rare) best. ps, if you're a fan of illmac watch his battle vs real deal, one of the most underrated displays of penmanship in the entire sport. wack event tho so the performance suffers. i'm rambling, chatty of the addy. lemme stop lmao
Brad Oates .. he been one of the most consistent .. always comes with 3 rounds.. rarely stumbles and loves the culture.. he just does it because he loves the rap game and real recognize real
Frescos best performance thus far, he's definitely on another level here. I've never seen thesaurus this enthusiastic for his opponent, his reactions are priceless.
+EricSmyth14 true, the saurus isn't shy about reacting to his opponents bars which i think shows character, more people should try it, makes it less tense, seems like the mutual respect factor would help, not hurt a battle.
+EricSmyth14 I've been watching thesaurus since 06 wrc's. He definitely reacts in every battle he's in but he has never just outright told the person they won. After this bigg k was probably the most he enjoyed his opponent.
Dom I like how thesaurus showed the veteran in his rhyme patterns, and waited with the crowd reaction. Even then, fresco, still 3-0’d him with the relentless punches. He was too nice with golden references.
Fresco actually explained in a interview that when he was practicing his rounds for people the day before the battle he was getting no reaction so he said he went extra hard with the delivery to make up for what he thought were mediocre bars.
Tsa Fack you spit ill comments nigga. Dropping reply barsssss. Don't nobody be biting dem comments nigga Bigga figga ligga. Yo yo yo check it! ⛑⛑⛑⛑⛑⛑ Fire comments nigga! You gots the bestest comments my niggaaaaaaaa. Ugh NA NA NA nahhhhhh!
@@funtimes8296 Well it's all relative. This is still only battle rap. And they are all only using words. But in so far as battle rap goes: Rone's body language and facial expression shows that Fresco's angle touched Rone (no pun intended). BTW I agree the Soul Khan vs Fresco battle was garbage. Almost all those old Grindtime battles weren't that good. It just goes to show how far battle rap has evolved.
Well what's dope about Fresco is he does a lot of 90's references (or anywhere from late 80's to early 2000s), so really they are just referenced of things he saw or had as a kid. Starfox 64, Saved by the bell, Yosemite Sam, Megaman, Pulp Fiction, Mortal Kombat, Minecraft, League of Legends, Donkey Kong, chicken pot-pie, Asian guy in Tiananmen Square,
he could have organised he setups a little better but line for line was still damn near perfect, just hard to not peak before the peak, and obv the end is going to suffer with the rerun bars being not quite being at the end there. astonishing shit but just wondering where/how it could be better.
@@stothAjs Haha, I just got back into watching battle rap after about 7 years and honestly this might be the best shit I've ever seen. Like Thesaurus is dope as fuck like he's always been but Fresco absolutely demolished him lol
Saurus has lost before but this was thorough. what you have to respect about him though, is he always acknowledges a loss and gives the other guy props. he doesn't do the dumb, I still won attitude. Fresco was not ducking around, holy shit.
+trooperjoe73 Except for his loss to Dizaster lol. The Saurus still thinks he won that battle, but to be fair, Saurus did good. Dizaster wigged on him tho haha
+nmryda debatable. I understand the appeal of Diz spitting out some random shit, but a case be made either way. that being said, that's one battle of how many Saurus has done. Not exactly a trend.
Andre some reason I always pull up a big K battle... the ill mac one.. but I'm thinking it'd be the head Ice battle from now on.: that and the Ave vs Nitty were my 2 favorite battles of 2k16
forreal. I was so fucking surprised even tho I knew Fresco was sick I wasn't expecting a body bag... Saurus def. tried but it just wasnt enough. Every fucking bar was sick from Fresco! I haven't laughed like that at a battle in a minute
@@howboutta If it is “on sight” for someone, that means things will escalate rather quickly the moment you see each other, usually to a fight, or a gunfight. He “scrapped”, or fought with his *eye* doctor because it was on *sight* .
+felonfour2001 lol and he said he never watched a fresco battle to steal it. but he was at this event and that line was one of the biggest reactions that night. daylyt's a fucking idiot
This is awesome. I graduated high school with Peter (Thesaurus). I was in a band with him back in middle school. And in high school I remember him walking around the school rappin' to himself. Always great at whatever he put his mind to. Probably the smartest kid in our class.
"This is not the fade you wanted I'm second favourite barber"...Fresco is an asshole...how dare he cook someone like this...I've never seen savagery like this in all my life...Vegeta's scouter would explode and take half his face trying to read Fresco's lyrics.
I love how Fresco never takes a line off...every one was straight fire. "Morris (Thesaurus, Peter Morris) will get a flash back, like hes sittin in class and dreaming, while I'm at his Bae's side high (Bayside High) like Tiffany Amber Theisan. Some of his lines literally had me freaking out. Fresco was at another level in this battle...
Fresco's video game references were dope. So varied too. Mortal Kombat - "...round one... pop up... like a secret character..." Minecraft - "Like I'm playing Minecraft how I'm cooking a brick." Star Fox - "Team full of animals; Star Fox 64." League of Legends "I took my cue (Q) from Dr. Mundo how I threw you a cleaver." Megaman - "I got money changing hands like Megaman's fist." Donkey Kong - "Watch me whip her hair back and forth like Dixie Kong." Pokemon and I guess Digimon - "I take her to the second gym like Misty gone and make a movie that star me (Starmie) that's not Digimon." Did I miss anything?
yeah man dope shit, gaming references are fine if they are dope and fresco got it on point. you saw him vs cruger? also had some dope things "you are a mid lane champ, so imma give you the blues, smoking on that bomb like a ninja defuse" also in this battle the cartoon ones with popeye, bambi, bugs where outta this world hyped for his upcoming battle!
The whole "Morris will catch a flashback like he's sittin in class and dreamin, while I'm at his Bay side high like Tiffany Amber Thiessen" is probably the the craziest battle bar of all time. So fucking clever, and the wordplay and references to both Pete and saved by the bell is absolute genius.
I am a Pat Stay, Diz, and Rone fan, but Fresco has the best flow I have ever heard from a battle rapper. I love listening to him and he has amazing bars.
Back 5 years later for like the 42nd time. I love watching the crowd and seeing new reactions. It's like they knew in the moment that they were witnessing something special.
Fresco put on a crazy performance. This man showed up prepared. Thesaurus has such a crazy pen game, but regardless of what he brought to this match, it was fresco's day to shine. Good fucking battle
Alphabetizeist yo fresco already admitted bigg k would murder him and he wouldn't battle k. Bigg k is just an ill writer to crowd. Fresco still my fave tho
+soleil3gs naw dude, he was like God status on this one. there is no way u can watch this battle once and catch all of Fresco's bars and understand what they mean.
18:44 "He don't need breaking news to see action from live choppers, for me it was always on sight, even scrapped with my eye doctor, his bitch on my album cover, Alex Summers from all the Havoc that I've caused her, but I've been through that bitches walls so many times that I'm actually Nightcrawler." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 That live chopper line was way too slept on
+BabyBoyAK9 He was giving props in the Rone battle too. IDK what happened he used to be a huge douche when his opponent was rapping but he's been giving his props lately.
+RELLIK72 I think he also gave props to Bigg K, and way back in the day to Illmac. I only think he was a douche vs. DNA and Charron (and technically PoRich/Diaz but they deserved it)
This will always be my favourite KotD battle. There have been *better* battles, but this summed up everything that the scene does well. Every round was very good/great. I struggle to make it through entire videos but this goes by in a breeze. Both had mad respect for each other, with no need to go crazy personal. Both came with extremely well written material and delivered it perfectly. Being a battle rap fan around this period was one of the highlights of my 20's, it was such a unique movement and community to be a part of. The crowd, lighting, editing were all on point. Definitely my fav KotD vid.
+iPixel Jaeden old school pokemon,when you battle the 2nd gym leaeder its Misty but in the Pokemon yellow or the remakes shes gone and you have to find her to get her back into her gym
@@loyloygeralde554 I thought the second part was more like "I fucked this girl in Misty's gym as if she is gone" rather than a reference to Pokemon Yellow. But I forgot about that, so you could be right.
"I take her to the second gym like Misty gone, and make a movie that Starmie/Star me, that's not digimon, no acapella group but he'll know the shit we on, when he hear that Uwop go off like a 50's song." Oh man god damn
Fresco punchin back to back to back...Fiyaahhh. This Fresco will smoke Rone.. Rone got delivery and versatility, but Fresco content bars will murder Rones ass
Charles Eddy Jr i meant today....i know they battled already but that battle wasn't that good, no clear winner, or that whole event wasn't really good..they need to do a rematch..
Almost 7 years later and I'm still reacting to Fresco like I did back then, sheesh
Big facts 💯
Exactly, got my arm hair standin up lmao
Wish fresco came back for a couple battles
Same here.
Same. Dude is a monster.
My goldfish accidentally watched Fresco's 3rd round and now it's a shark.
lmao
That's funny my g
That 3rd round vicious.

Thesaurus really is in the perfect position in battle rap. No one questions that he's one of the GOATs so he doesnt have to sweat a win or a loss, but he still comes with fire shit, helps put on up and comers, and gives credit where it's due. You the man, Pete.
pete's a real one
He’s the Chris Jericho of battle rap
Chase Dixon watch Saurus vs Topr! Maybe even better!
He might not have to sweat a win or a loss but he sure does sweat a whole fuckin bunch either way lol
Very well said
The only bad thing about this battle is that Thesaurus had 3 fire ass rounds and still got smoked. Those 3 rounds against just about anybody else woulda been a bag, but Fresco said nah...
1. Can’t believe this was 8 years ago
2. I still believe this is the best performance in a battle in history.
brizz vs mr wavy has similar energy, all 3 rounds brizz captures the entire round with his first line. a lot of hype for sure, but he deserved it lmao. the energy in that battle is fucking wicked. when brizz puts his hand over half his face and starts rapping in wavy face like
I figured you'd be much taller in person
The name's Brizz, I'll carve it in cursive
On your jaw 'til it's hurtin', and it's hard to reverse it
They'll ask, "What happened?" but it's too hard to talk to the nurses
When the hole's so big, they gotta call in a surgeon
They like, "Got-damn, Wavy! Was all of it worth it?"
Brizz and his niggas strapped up, all of 'em Purgin'
.9's and .5's, all of 'em workin'
9 to 5, all of 'em workin'
I'm the Iceman, they callin' me Gervin
Sick man, they callin' me Earvin
Two .8's: they callin' me Irving
Finger-fuckin' the triggers: I wouldn't call him a virgin
BAOW! Headshot put his shit all over the curtain
I’m the shit, you niggas better hope the toilet is workin’
Darkside, nigga
------the end of his 2nd round, at one point in the battle he litteraly gesture the cameraman to get closer cause he's about to bark in wavys face. the whole time some baddie is right out of frame giving a1 reactions.
that battle has a crazy energy and does an excellent job demonstrating the importance of being able to control the "energy" of the room / stage / crowd / opponent / yourself / those watching later on youtube/ ect...
not that brizz's bars in that battle weren't MILES ahead of wavys,,,, because they were lol. i'm saying it doesn't matter what wavy spit, he was gonna lose... brizz just has the ability to have his performance transcend rap in a way i haven't seen anyone else come close to. maybe twork at his (rare) best.
ps, if you're a fan of illmac watch his battle vs real deal, one of the most underrated displays of penmanship in the entire sport. wack event tho so the performance suffers.

It’s funny because he usually talks shit during his opposites rounds.

Respect to The Saurus, he reacted to more of Frescos bars then the crowd 😂
Master Roshi for real, saurus gives respect when its due. and hes not like half of the idiots in the crowd, bars dont go over his head
That's why he's a legend
difference between a bar and joke?
beast mode mmmm what battle were you watching, ton of crowd reaction for fresco.
The sauras always shows class. If u dropping nice shit he ain't gonna front and act like it ain't good. He gives props
Fresco went bonkers!!!!!

@@JamesTheAxeThrower Yes sir. Saurus is super underrated. And Fresco is cool too.
fresco 4-0
I love Thesaurus' bars..... but Fresco had his number. I didn't matter if they went 12 rounds, Fresco would have bodied him 12-0!
I am a Pat Stay, Diz, and Rone fan, but Fresco has the best flow I have ever heard from a battle rapper. I love listening to him and he has amazing bars.
5 years ago and I still come back to this monthly. Best performance of all time.
Fresco vs. Rum Nitty would be such fire lol
damn fresco v nitty at the bunker would be too crazy
Still waiting on this to happen
Best battle of the decade. Miss this type of shit.
The Bayside High bar is fucking nuts man
When Fresco said and I pop up for the scrap like a secret character that's when I automatically knew that Fresco won!
Back for another watch in 2024
"Shorty so wet on the phone she need a bag of rice."
+Francisco Salanga III What does it mean?
+simen Toddsen if you phone is wet you need to put rice on it so it will dry
+porter limon and you probably never got a girl wet thanks for letting us know
Jefferson Price btw: u dont flops JP?
+Francisco Salanga III "Shawty" not shorty... unless you're using it as a synonym my guess would be that you're not American...
Life hack: Watch Fresco's 3rd round 4 times and your tablet will turn into an actual Decepticon
George Griffin it didn’t
fav bars,
the kid cuisine plate, ratchet after ratchet, and the night crawler one
Young boy got thrown in a podcast like anakin skywalker
where the fuck did fresco go? he needs to come back! id love to see gjonaj vs fresco
"Not even the Asian dude from Tiananmen Square could stand in front of this" GOT DAYUMMM that lowkey might be the most fire bar ever
Serious bars
It's not
Came back to check this legendary Fresco performance out again
One of the greatest battles of all time right there!!!
Fresco was in another universe that day, not a single wasted bar, dude was in his bag….definitely in my top 5 battles of all time
"HE DONT NEED BREAKING NEWS TO SEE ACTION FROM LIVE CHOPPERS." omg
I come back to this like twice every year. The replay value is priceless
Back 5 years later for like the 42nd time. I love watching the crowd and seeing new reactions. It's like they knew in the moment that they were witnessing something special.
That bayside high (bae side, high)/tiffani amber thiessen line was so FIRE
Plus thesaurus from the bay, so it’s a triple entendre
Fresco put on a crazy performance. This man showed up prepared.
Thesaurus has such a crazy pen game, but regardless of what he brought to this match, it was fresco's day to shine.
Good fucking battle
fresco vs bigg k set it up
Dee Scizzle best matchup idea!!! Shit would be 🔥🔥🔥
Alphabetizeist yo fresco already admitted bigg k would murder him and he wouldn't battle k. Bigg k is just an ill writer to crowd. Fresco still my fave tho
+tyler wendell source
Fresco tweeted at Bigg K a long time ago that he wanted to set up a battle. You can still find it on Fresco's twitter.
tyler wendell lol you're full of shit. He asked to battle and k been ducking
no current battle rapper has come close Fresco's bars in this battle. dude was spitting better than now 7 years ago.
Fresco has been fire. Its just the new battle rap fans catching up
exactly
+soleil3gs ive always liked fresco (i dunno why but i was a big fan of his two on twos) but i still think this is his best performance ive seen
+soleil3gs naw dude, he was like God status on this one. there is no way u can watch this battle once and catch all of Fresco's bars and understand what they mean.
fresco been fire since that third round with Rone lol
+Franz KEN nah he's been fire since his battle with illusion
18:44 "He don't need breaking news to see action from live choppers, for me it was always on sight, even scrapped with my eye doctor, his bitch on my album cover, Alex Summers from all the Havoc that I've caused her, but I've been through that bitches walls so many times that I'm actually Nightcrawler." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That live chopper line was way too slept on
the saurus always shows respect and loves when people roast him lol
Still watching in 2019. Fresco needs to come out of retirement in 2020 and give the fans another instant classic.
Bruh it's still ⚡in 2022
One of the hardest finishes period definitely against a legend
fresco is rone and dumbfounded combined and I love it
Fresco = Rono
Fresco has harder bars, but less personality in his delivery.
Couldn't agree more
+Samuel Edwords (WC4) now I wanna see them go after it again.... or Fresco vs Illmaculate.
+Samuel Edwords (WC4) I didn't hear it before but i do now and holy shit
+Samuel Edwords (WC4) He did a Gjonaj type of flow at parts ending his punches in a raspy voice
I have watched this battle so many times this year, Fresco has just gotten better every battle its sucks he doesnt battle ever anymore
I fucks with Saurus but he got smoked.
real talk there!
I feel the same and I'm pretty sure the saurus feels the same
+BabyBoyAK9 He was giving props in the Rone battle too. IDK what happened he used to be a huge douche when his opponent was rapping but he's been giving his props lately.
That's a little gay.
+RELLIK72 I think he also gave props to Bigg K, and way back in the day to Illmac. I only think he was a douche vs. DNA and Charron (and technically PoRich/Diaz but they deserved it)
PLEASE bring more Fresco with this level of skill.... PLEEEEAASEEE lol. That was some of the most impressive shit i've ever heard.
This is truly one of the most flawless performances in br history
This is refreshing! Finally, another classic.
Rewatched it ten times and it's still 🔥
Maybe 50 at least...
😉 fresco just to dope
Fresco vs Gjonaj could be a classic. Set it up organik
This will always be my favourite KotD battle. There have been *better* battles, but this summed up everything that the scene does well. Every round was very good/great. I struggle to make it through entire videos but this goes by in a breeze. Both had mad respect for each other, with no need to go crazy personal. Both came with extremely well written material and delivered it perfectly. Being a battle rap fan around this period was one of the highlights of my 20's, it was such a unique movement and community to be a part of. The crowd, lighting, editing were all on point. Definitely my fav KotD vid.
I still come back to watch Fresco's rounds every few months.
"I took her to the second gym like misty gone" I think ya'll realize how hard that bar was...got DAMN
Can you inform me on what that means
+iPixel Jaeden old school pokemon,when you battle the 2nd gym leaeder its Misty but in the Pokemon yellow or the remakes shes gone and you have to find her to get her back into her gym
+iPixel Jaeden and starmie is her Pokémon.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@loyloygeralde554 I thought the second part was more like "I fucked this girl in Misty's gym as if she is gone" rather than a reference to Pokemon Yellow. But I forgot about that, so you could be right.
When your opponent says, "Give him the thousand" 6 times....you probably won...
Feb 2022 and Fresco is still absolute fire
LETS GO CARL
2022 came back for Frescos third
"I take her to the second gym like Misty gone, and make a movie that Starmie/Star me, that's not digimon, no acapella group but he'll know the shit we on, when he hear that Uwop go off like a 50's song." Oh man god damn
Doo Wop
Fresco vs Bigg K please
YES!
Fresco already said he don't want smoke
Aw shit I just wrote the exact same comment haha
+Ck Sheedy Give Fresco a big battle. He deserves it after this!!!
Doubt Bigg K would do that - possibly
I LOOOOOVE the charisma between Saurus and Fresco... Ugh. Such a good vibe.
"Give him the 1,000" ~Saurus.
I always come back to this battle. Respect thesaurus for saying "give him a 1000" lol
Fresco punchin back to back to back...Fiyaahhh. This Fresco will smoke Rone.. Rone got delivery and versatility, but Fresco content bars will murder Rones ass
he already battled and best rone.
Charles Eddy Jr i meant today....i know they battled already but that battle wasn't that good, no clear winner, or that whole event wasn't really good..they need to do a rematch..
that match didnt live up though
Nath Anter fresco obviously won. had rone sick with those Sandusky bars
fresco was nice against rone. 3 very good rounds even if he wasnt as aggressive as against the saurus and qp he bodied rone
That Mundo line was slept on slightly, Mundo's a video game character , When you use Q, he throws a clever and his moves cost his own HP aka Blood
