+6Foot4Honda for real this battle has replay-ability and quotables.. I would say the fans win. OnlyOne's rebuttle game is on point. I have seen several of his net battles now and his rebuttle game is on level with Kid Twist, illmac and Saurus. Reverse live has strong presence and intensity on stage like Diz. They both got fire pen games.
Only One has been on songs with Inspectah Deck, Sean Price, Tech-9, and Crooked I… and he had the best verses on all those songs. There's a reason why he's been Illmac's fav rapper since 8 years back. Def a dope battle though, Only One 2-1.
+Nate Ioriatti You dumb as hell. Illmac is the KOTD champion and (arguably) the #1 writer in battle rap history. On the music tip he's among the most successful battle rappers ever. And EVERY single time he's collaborated with a legendary rapper, he's called his homie Only to be on it too. Hmm… why's that? And hell yeah, Only had the best verse on ALL THOSE songs, he outshone all of them, including illmac! Made them seem basic. Which means quite a fucking lot. Dude been touring around the world, too. All his (~15) other rap battles are clear wins, this one vs Reverse is the only debatable one. So please, name 10 active battle rappers with "resumes" more impressive. :)
This was classic as fuck, we're finally getting new battles with people whos name we haven't seen 560x before and they're actually dope as fuck. Hyped for the future of both of these guys.
(As I've said many times before) Reverse Live is a fucking BEAST. Good Lord, dude was blacking out! This is the first battle I've seen of Only One, and his shit was crazy too. He needs a little work with the performance aspect (he was a little dry with his delivery), but dude is definitely KOTD-ready as-is. No exaggerating, this was definitely one of the best battles of 2015 in my eyes (and right in the nick of time!). If I had to pick a winner, it'd be Reverse Live (not by much), but Only One won too, because he won a fan. Much respect to both these guys!
The Only reason Reverse Live isn't considered top tier is because he doesn't perform as often -- it clearly isn't his main hustle, and he isn't the main tournaments -- he wasn't part of the GZ GPs or the original 2013 GP but clearly had the resume to qualify. He's always been good enough to be a major draw, he just hasn't been jockeying for it, and KOTD is only recognizing it now.
+TheSaurusWins was toss up for me between this one and your battle with Fresco. Been a battlerap fan since 06' after I saw you vs Subverse. Was already a fan of Sandpeople(Redshield/Bad Neighbors) then Illmac joined them shortly after winning scribble and I was stoked the merging of the top battle scene and my fav underground coab group. Having heard Only on prolly like 100 tracks I couldn't help but think "this guy could tear up the battle scene". When he was grind time battling he left a trail of bodies leading up to facing vets like Cadi Ron and even Tantrum. I think if he keeps battling regularly his timing/crowd reading (his only weakness if you can call it that) will quickly become polished then even top vets would fall to his pen. Big fan of your work(even your music). Gonna stop now before this gets any more "Stanish".
+222JJJKKK1 Caustic's 3rd was probably his worst round -- and I had him taking that battle 2-1. Bigg K's over-the-top theatric reaction made it seem much, much more relevant.
Damn Reverse Live came with it ...i knew he was spitting fire when I was watching it live at the venue but getting to hear ever bar of that first round, he is straight genius
everybody crazy if they don't think kotd is the best battle league in the world right now..smack fell the Fuck off hard! all their battles are just recycled gun bars and annoying ass crowds. ..That's why all the best url rappers battle for kotd..(and the money)..but I can't even watch url no more..that battle was fuckin fire..the creativity in battle rap now is on another level....and I can't wait for the next event with rone and illmac's title match..big ups Kotd
+A Mac While I fucks wit' KOTD hard and have been for foreva, there's no way you can say URL fell off. They dropped Bonnie vs. MyVerse. That shit was CRAZY!!! Instant classic!
+23651l I think you mean *rare* breed ent., and, no, I can't say almost every battle. They defo have some duds. Every battle wit' ShowOff is an instant dud just because of his existence alone.
Reverse Live 2-1. He had more complex material, and delevered far better too. I loved Only Ones content, though. If he keeps battling he's going to be a great fast as fuck.
Watchin this back.. is that Ex-I in Only's corner? In his battle vs Cutter Saurus was in his corner.. Only One has serious OG co-sign and for good reason. I hope to see him on more main cards.
+TheKrebKrab wooo... you're on a roll bro, these insults u droppin on me are straight fire.. u got me feelin foolish wit my pretty bitch and the fat knot in my pocket and my strong hustle game.. I should just fall back before I keep getting humiliated by a friendless virgin troll... u win, ur a boss bro, I know when to throw in the towel.. haha
Reverse's 2nd and 3rd top 10 KOTD verses of the year. His closer in the 3rd was fucking classic -- he's always been my favorite, and secretly top 5 KOTD and top 3 West Coast. Only was impressive, but he simply was overpowered. Reverse Live 2-1: Round 1: Only One 10-9 Round 2: Reverse Live 10-8 Round 3: Reverse Live 10-9
reverse live been on the block since the grind time days this guys pen is fire and he's style and stage presence is ridiculous he needs bigger battles would love him get battle on kotd in canada like blackout or world domination
+Zachary Madden This is one of my favorite battles from Reverse Live, he really brought it....I might edge to him, Only One just needs to work on his delivery and performance because he already has the bars.
classic battle my first experience with only one battling I'm going to give it to only because he was consistent with his rap and where he was taking it but I give credit to reverse live he was raw too just didn't hit as hard great battle on both their behaves :)
Only One has gotten a lot better than when he was on Grind Time. His multis were always good but his punches were so drawn out. He seems to have simplified his setups to punches and now his rebuttal game on point. He could be a real problem if he battles more regularly. 2-1 edge to Only One, and I fuxx with Reverse Live too.
"Remember cousin, I know half your hood look like they walked up out a target ad. Don't get me started, you want no part of that, cuz You aint even the hardest cat on your starbucks staff" - Reverse Live
WE NEED REVERSE LIVE VS BENDER KOTD MAKE IT HAPPEN. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONLY ONE BATTLE AS WELL. THIS WAS A GREAT BATTLE AND I WILL BE WATCHING IT AGAIN. RESPECT TO BOTH BATTLERS
replayable battle for sure, i couldn't pick a winner so ill just watch this shit AGAIN
+6Foot4Honda for real this battle has replay-ability and quotables.. I would say the fans win. OnlyOne's rebuttle game is on point.

They both got fire pen games.
+6Foot4Honda all day lol
lol none of these other replyers know who you are
+Geoff Catledge who is he?? I've seen him post comments on other battles but I didn't know he was anybody other than an average battle fan
+John Grome he post vlogs of his daily life but on a motorcycle I think he has like a few hundred thousand sub's
"i'll steal your blade and then slash you with it, jack-knifed" how has no one said that yet? dope line
Much better than A LOT of 'top tier' battles nowadays
Underappreciated classic. Theu both spit dope shit with a little humor and bars. These dudes should be making music together if they ain't already.
REVERSE LIVE.
+TheKrebKrab haha. oh shit. lmao! that just made 2015 a great year!
2017 and still one of the best battles. They both killed it!
It’s 2022 and still a good battle not one of the best check iron Solomon vs disaster for the best battle
Reverse Live's third was ridiculous.
What a great battle.
+nataskaos I seriously thought he was going to pass out afterwards haha. Crazy breath control.
Only One has been on songs with Inspectah Deck, Sean Price, Tech-9, and Crooked I… and he had the best verses on all those songs. There's a reason why he's been Illmac's fav rapper since 8 years back. Def a dope battle though, Only One 2-1.
I second that...dudes on that upper echelon
+Ahrbok LOL he deff didn't wash him....it was a 2-1 battle either way, both were awesome in the battle
+Nate Ioriatti You dumb as hell. Illmac is the KOTD champion and (arguably) the #1 writer in battle rap history. On the music tip he's among the most successful battle rappers ever. And EVERY single time he's collaborated with a legendary rapper, he's called his homie Only to be on it too. Hmm… why's that?

+VRQwerty couldn't agree more.
+Ahrbok revese live is no where near top ten either... neither one of these dudes is even top 25
Can’t believe I missed this battle when it dropped. Awesome battle!
Only is so dope. His music is legit
He'll ya
This was classic as fuck, we're finally getting new battles with people whos name we haven't seen 560x before and they're actually dope as fuck. Hyped for the future of both of these guys.
these two have a rich vocab more than a summer madness event all combined
We all know most URL cats are basic and recycle bars.
that has to be one of the illest battles
(As I've said many times before) Reverse Live is a fucking BEAST. Good Lord, dude was blacking out! This is the first battle I've seen of Only One, and his shit was crazy too. He needs a little work with the performance aspect (he was a little dry with his delivery), but dude is definitely KOTD-ready as-is.

Probably my favorite battle from the event. So fire

EVERYBODY WINS. Love it
i'd like to see only vs nitty and reverse vs danny myers on some weird style clash shit
Dope battle on both ends!
Surprisingly good battle damn, reverse live has improved a lot
These two should do a collab project, produced by Chase Moore. Shit would be 🔥🔥🔥.
DOPE ASS BATTLE
This is a dope battle
This should've won battle of the night over Caustic and Bigg K imo.
+Brandon Thomas ya caustics 3rd round was on some other shit though
+222JJJKKK1 I wasn't feeling it. him crying and shit
+222JJJKKK1 Caustic's 3rd was probably his worst round -- and I had him taking that battle 2-1. Bigg K's over-the-top theatric reaction made it seem much, much more relevant.
+Branded Official but when you Mr. disrespectful I guess that's how you do things. walk around Oakland with a cat on a shoe string
The sauraus vs fresco was the battle battle of the year
"I'm tempted to make a Zeitgeist reference, just to watch you lose your composure" is a hilarious way to dis a person into conspiracies. 🔥
one of the best battles of the year!
Awesome battle. Really respectable. Both battlers are dope, and under-rated. The battle was refreshing.
"I'll pop up on you like an online ad" Lol
Great Battle
Dope battle
Fresh battle! I can dig
crazy good battle
Damn both spit so hard shit
they both fire
I can't front I usually talk mess about KOTD . This Battle was nice, way better then the one they dropped on Xmas
Lil G 5-0
+Omar Stewart I think KOTD is in a period where it's vets and rookies with no middle ground in my opinion.
+SnaPeeZee to be honest with you I think it's the crowd
That probably has a lot to do with it too. Still don't as bad as URL's crowd.
+SnaPeeZee your bugging on the URL crowd they tell it like how it is
Damn Reverse Live came with it ...i knew he was spitting fire when I was watching it live at the venue but getting to hear ever bar of that first round, he is straight genius
talented individuals, only one with the dope rebuttals
really dope battle, great performance by reverse live
this was a dope battle def. replay value
Only One vs Miracle needs to happen at BO6
everybody crazy if they don't think kotd is the best battle league in the world right now..smack fell the Fuck off hard! all their battles are just recycled gun bars and annoying ass crowds. ..That's why all the best url rappers battle for kotd..(and the money)..but I can't even watch url no more..that battle was fuckin fire..the creativity in battle rap now is on another level....and I can't wait for the next event with rone and illmac's title match..big ups Kotd
+TheKrebKrab if you think everything is hood style need to expand how many people you watch
+TheKrebKrab you just responded though.
rap breed ent drops classics almost every battle
+A Mac While I fucks wit' KOTD hard and have been for foreva, there's no way you can say URL fell off. They dropped Bonnie vs. MyVerse. That shit was CRAZY!!! Instant classic!
+23651l I think you mean *rare* breed ent., and, no, I can't say almost every battle. They defo have some duds. Every battle wit' ShowOff is an instant dud just because of his existence alone.
wow this was good... this battle is most likely gonna get slept on so i hope that the staff notices and gives both of them bigger opponents next time
sick battle
one of the doper battles of the event and it was the bottom of the card
ONLY!!!!
This was a GOOD ass battle.
this shit was dope. too bad it wont get no love
GREAT BATTLE !
Only needs more matches. Dope seeing dude kill it in the ring as well
dope battle!
Both were fire
zeitgeist reference make him lose his composure , got him rappin like scully and moulder. fireeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
God damn, Only One's 3rd made my bones get a chill.
Reverse Live 2-1. He had more complex material, and delevered far better too. I loved Only Ones content, though. If he keeps battling he's going to be a great fast as fuck.
If this was a battle on presence, Reverse won 3-0 , but based on bars, Only One 3-0.
+Seyi Aguda exactly!
Watchin this back.. is that Ex-I in Only's corner? In his battle vs Cutter Saurus was in his corner.. Only One has serious OG co-sign and for good reason. I hope to see him on more main cards.
Did this get reuploaded or something? Should have more views
Both dope AF
goodass battle..... wanna see one of them against psycosis...
Only one vs tay roc for gun bar king
Amazing battle, dudes went bar for bar, but OnlyOne gets the vote from me... Maybe I'm being biased lol
Legendary battle, 2-1 either way. Reverse Live took the 1st, Only One took the 2nd, and the 3rd is debatable.
They should try settle their differences without resorting to insults.
+YourManNugget hug battles
woe, this was surprisingly good.
damn i thought they dropped all the joints from this event. they were really holding this one back for a rainy day huh
i love how OnlyOne is doing battles now. #Sandpeople
+Kyle Derksen ikr
What's Only One social media (Twitter)
Reverse Live has a really unique battling style
Very entertaining battle.
OnlyOne 2-1
+TheKrebKrab You lonely Crab ass nigga
+TheKrebKrab wooo... you're on a roll bro, these insults u droppin on me are straight fire.. u got me feelin foolish wit my pretty bitch and the fat knot in my pocket and my strong hustle game.. I should just fall back before I keep getting humiliated by a friendless virgin troll... u win, ur a boss bro, I know when to throw in the towel.. haha
Ha
Dope battle. From uk
Only One - you got bars but WHERE YA STAGE PRESENCE/DELIVERY at?!! Work on that and with your bars you'd be dope!
+SikeNaw Gaming exactly dog they both need a lot of work
***** i respect that!
Only One vs Kid Twist or Charron MAKE IT HAPPEN!! rebuttle battle.
What is the age requirement for KOTD BO6?
Reverse's 2nd and 3rd top 10 KOTD verses of the year. His closer in the 3rd was fucking classic -- he's always been my favorite, and secretly top 5 KOTD and top 3 West Coast. Only was impressive, but he simply was overpowered.
Reverse Live 2-1:
Round 1: Only One 10-9
Round 2: Reverse Live 10-8
Round 3: Reverse Live 10-9
Only One 2-1
reverse live been on the block since the grind time days this guys pen is fire and he's style and stage presence is ridiculous he needs bigger battles would love him get battle on kotd in canada like blackout or world domination
This was a dope ass battle on the PPV, close battle, 2-1 either way......
+Zachary Madden This is one of my favorite battles from Reverse Live, he really brought it....I might edge to him, Only One just needs to work on his delivery and performance because he already has the bars.
classic battle my first experience with only one battling I'm going to give it to only because he was consistent with his rap and where he was taking it but I give credit to reverse live he was raw too just didn't hit as hard great battle on both their behaves :)
+mark coster Check Only One vs Joe Cutter.
I will :)
whats that intro song
Only one! The man P-TOWN reppin!
Eeeeesh Reverse Live was on point
Only One has gotten a lot better than when he was on Grind Time. His multis were always good but his punches were so drawn out. He seems to have simplified his setups to punches and now his rebuttal game on point. He could be a real problem if he battles more regularly. 2-1 edge to Only One, and I fuxx with Reverse Live too.
KING O THE DOT
bars
only one been nice
def battle of the night
HOLE. E. SHIT. how have i not seen this battle. this whole lineup was fucking crazy
Reverse Live's 3rd round was crazy.

3 shortest dudes in battlerap history all right next to each other at this battle halarious
CLASSIC
HOLLISTER
I'd love to see only one vs e farrell
Round1_ ReversRound2_Only OneRound3_Reverse
"Remember cousin, I know half your hood look like they walked up out a target ad. Don't get me started, you want no part of that, cuz You aint even the hardest cat on your starbucks staff" - Reverse Live
If Reverse had delivery he could have killed it still hard to pick a winner.
WE NEED REVERSE LIVE VS BENDER KOTD MAKE IT HAPPEN. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONLY ONE BATTLE AS WELL. THIS WAS A GREAT BATTLE AND I WILL BE WATCHING IT AGAIN. RESPECT TO BOTH BATTLERS
This made me sad. Would have been an instant classic. RIP bender.
Dope battle. I think Reverse Live just edged it with that incredible third round.
