For those who didn't know...this music video was screened at the Gearbox panel at PAX East, and they brought us on stage! It was SO humbling. Go check out the video which was streamed live on Twitch (an hour and 15 mins in) at this link: www.twitch.tv/pax/v/62187694 SO PUMPED FOR BATTLEBORN!!!!
It was SO difficult deciding which characters to put in the rap because this game has so many great ones. But I'm glad you guys are digging this! If you dig this song, it will be exclusively available on our next album which will be released soon with a TON of our other hits from late 2015-2016. Thanks for watching, happy gaming!
there's an alternate universe where battleborn became more popular than overwatch, and in that universe. there's a chance vanoss played this, and had a frick ton of fun doing hoo-dini jokes.
Honestly, after playing both Overwatch and Battleborn, they are nothing alike. They are both completely original ideas, not even similar characters. I love both of them, however, so why all the controversy over which is better? They're both good games, so I don't see why it matters.
Ok.....this is epic, and deserves to be in the all time badass hall of fame. I love how you had each character rap, and I laughed my ass off when you all mentioned Overwatch, and even more so at the end when Marquis called out Thorn. Thank you all for this badass rap.
Yeah, it was good....but it just wasn't as good as the Battleborn rap. I don't know if it was the toon or the flow of the music, but this was definitely better then the Overwatch rap....at least in my opinion.
Rest In Peace Battleborn you were and allways will be better then overwatch and i have played lot of overwatch but still the good things have to allways END.
@@Jetheos i enjoyed overwatch and i enjoyed this game aswell i dosent matter wich one is better is the thing that mattes is what you enjoy the most of i just enjoyed battleborne the most becauae i welt that it had more ways to play with and strategic your play style even if it ended i hope there will be more amazing games as it was
@@swearingfive9850 amen brother and so damn true but overeatch belive it or not its not at fault here sure it was more popular and i say it was beccause now instead of having LORE related hero has random ass new guy instead of character that lore wise where intertwine but this is not the point the real reason why this. Game died was randy pitchfork fault and gearbox too now i cant go in details but detectuve game i think have made a very detaild video on this topic i think its called game autopsy battleborn anyway i think i will really miss this masterpiece. Rip
@@victorlazlow897 well said yung man XD you are right about what you said im just disapointed that some really really good games dont get the thension what they need or support like scalebound or anthem just name of view that were supose to be amazing games and they failed miserebly but somethings evolve some don't RIP.
i like the outlandish character designs better in battleborn, it gives a unique addition feel to each character, instead of each character being equipped with robot parts of some sort
"Some call it sociopathic, i call it deadly and dapper, call me what you'd prefer, but I would rather the latter, I'm a fashion icon, a widely reputed sniper, let me check my pocketwatch, time to pay the viper" this is my favorite part, and i know i didn't get his entire part, but who cares?
Yeah Marquis part was the best one for me too,i put this song to 2 friends of mine and after listening to it they said you main this guy?I said yes and they added well we call you a sociopath too so we dig in his and your style
Thats Shayne and Aurox. The lyrics don't grasp the rivalry between the two: the in-game dialogue is hilarious. Anyways, I think the game is worth a try. Its really fun (but I have enough money to buy it ;_; )
Nice work on squeezing air though the top of your meatsacks guys! It's not like we have trillions of energy hungry Varelsi coming to tear us to pieces, i'm sure this was the most productive use of your time;;;). but seriously guys next time you do this tell me, i'm in! :D
This song is tbh one of the reasons that brought me back to Battleborn. Everytime it pops up in my Spotify queue, I am reminded how much I loved this game
I still love this rap lol ironically it’s what got me into battle borne for the brief year I played it, wish i could go back and play it some more but I play PlayStation now Anyway getting to the point is it wierd i wish the game had been more popular so we could get a rap battle between Oscar Mike and Wiskey Foxtrot? XD I love those guys but Mike especially
Yup... this game deserved better but unfortunately overwatch had marketing on its side so battleborn quickly got shot down because of that and that's very... unfortunate.
Sorry for the double reply, but with other people we think of showing Gearbox and THQ Nordic we love the game and want it back. We made threads on Steam's discussions, and someone made a reddit post ("Bring back Battleborn"). Beside, the release anniversary is soon (3rd may), there is this idea of sharing content (video, screenshot, fan art, message etc) on Gearbox and THQ Nordic social media to show how much we love the game and would like it back. It's just a suggestion, if you are interested, don't hesitate to share this idea around you to people who would like to see the game back^^ Thank you for reading and have a nice week end! :D
It’s a very underrated game, most people compared it to overwatch because I think they came out at the same time or something. But, because Overwatch was more appealing and had more fan service because of... the porn.... it quickly made Battleborn obsolete and if you were to play it rn, it’s basically unplayable, which saddens me
Ive been playng it for 2 years and im glad to see all 3 of my main characters. -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Shayne and Aurox=The demong girl --------- Rath= The vampire assasin - Marquis- The robot sniper
I have this game and really amazing!!! And It has alot of things overwatch does not. But don't get me wrong I also enjoy overwatch I just enjoy battleborn more.
Battleborn went offline today January 31st, 2021. Every single thing that every player ever did in this game is gone forever and this game is completely unplayable in any capacity. Imagine how the developers must feel knowing that their game died alone.
That's just a sad L,the game looked actually decent,the shame is that not many people actually considered to play it,mostly because the whole "just another fps game" feeling that players gave it.
That's always been the sad part. Outside of the fact that it's a "hero shooter," OW and BB had, in actuality, very little in common. Yes, the games had similarities, but they ended with being more cartoonish FPS's with each character having unique abilities and playstyles. Comparing the game to Smite, Dota, League or, hell, HOTS would have been a far more apt comparison as that's the devs were really drawing their influences from. It's just a shame this game got buried underneath the hype that was OW as I hear Battleborne was a legitimately good game that just got buried and crushed by the hype that was that game. Bravo to the devs for trying to keep it afloat, but it's a shame now it's not even playable via the single-player or local co-op.
hmm, BattleBorn seems fun, i really like that girl with the Demon, kinda reminds me of me when i have a bad day, i also really like the look of that Archer (i've never even seen this game before so sorry if i sounded a bit noobish and i don't know the names)
EnderGirlGaming Minecraft and More! thorn is my brother's favorite character sadly he likes overwatch more but his opinion also it might be going f2p so don't worry about it dying
Battleborn deserved better. Nobody gave it a chance because they thought it was a worse Overwatch, missing the fact that it had very different mechanics and game modes. The only good thing about this is the fact Randy Pitchford got screwed over.

SO PUMPED FOR BATTLEBORN!!!!
+JT Machinima nice, and Harley Quinn XD and now I really wish I could have come to see that
+JT Machinima so any new raps coming soon
?
+JT Machinima think if you guys make another battle born you can include Oscar Mike (his voice actor is awesome)
+JT Machinima Was there and when i first heard it. I was like hmm. Marquis verse is my favorite. Now i can't stop listening to all your songs.
+Thesoundmadness _
Love him too
That chorus is fucking fire dude
+Rockit Gaming Thanks brah!!!
That's what I said!!! I can't get enough of it!!! It's a toss up between this and the ac4 rap for witch is my favorite!! +JTMachinima +rockitgaming
it is
litterly😺😺😺😺😺😺
I like it being fucking fire
It was SO difficult deciding which characters to put in the rap because this game has so many great ones. But I'm glad you guys are digging this!
If you dig this song, it will be exclusively available on our next album which will be released soon with a TON of our other hits from late 2015-2016.
Thanks for watching, happy gaming!
Will pop the hood be on it?
Can you do rap of clash of clans/Clash Royale
+gavin hiller Yep!
+JT Machinima yay
+Scratch Gaming he made a clash of clans rap called " my castle stands" and a clash of clans vs angry birds rap battle #clash of clans 4 life
"We get it Thorn, you can sing. Bloody show-off."
Tio Roqui li *hugs thorn* Ignore them i love your singing
That was almost as good as the diss on the heavy.
The funny part is that he has a German accent
there's an alternate universe where battleborn became more popular than overwatch, and in that universe. there's a chance vanoss played this, and had a frick ton of fun doing hoo-dini jokes.
Can I live in that universe please?
Oh what I give to live in that universe I yearn to be in
I wish for that universe
@@loganandrews3121 same
Why are there so many new ppl here
" Demonic Monster and an Angsty Teen" Whats the difference?
An angsty teen is more dangerous
Demonic monsters don't hurt themselves
But Aurox wants to die
Demonic monsters don't like Twilight.
Unfortunately you can't exorcise an angsty teen...
I love how the robot guy has a robotic owl named Houdini.
Assasin Killer its awesome aint it
its not houdini
its HOOdini
(because its an owl, and owls go hoo)
@@nickvalentine6243 Good one

'wait did he just compare us to overwatch?'
'i think he did'
i was dying of laughter
Me too
ME THREE i was dying
IKR XDDDDDDDDDDDD

I like how she's just so chill about it though.Like :
"WAIT WAIT WAIT, DID HE JUST SAY THAT ?""Yeah, he just compared us to Overwatch"

You aren't the only one!
+andrew roncallo it is a good rap but have you seen overwatch
Yeah, it was good....but it just wasn't as good as the Battleborn rap. I don't know if it was the toon or the flow of the music, but this was definitely better then the Overwatch rap....at least in my opinion.
Ugh... This game deserved way better than it got.
3;42 Funny how their game is being completely pushed aside for Overwatch
I agree
Yeah thats some bad timing, I didnt even know about this game, but it does actually look awesome. Too bad I'm too busy with Overwatch D:
ppl are switching to this from overwatch as it doesnt have much content
Yet are now coming back to play as Ana (Aka Badass Grandma)
We got alani
i really like the gentle men robot
Jun Alarcon he is a great sniper.
Jun Aldrin his taunts aren't gentelman
I too
i like how during the demon teen you can hear the demon in the backround
"Wanna play fetch?"
"YOU KNOW I'LL SAY YES"
damn, this song was always like a myth to me, just the songs of long forgotten, hinted to in the ancient tomes of the doom rap
I miss Battleborn so much.
this game is so underrated
Shredder 1492 less then 1000 people still play it so yes you're right
+Volcanlock Gamer They said "underrated"! They're on our side, haha; it doesn't get the love it deserves!!
absolutely.
Ye its sad
Exactly!
I feel bad that this didn't get more attention.
I absolutely love the collaboration between you and Andrea. Hope you guys keep making music together!
And to think you share the name of a coming Overwatch character
Battle born...and gigantic where so Under appreciated
Rest In Peace Battleborn you were and allways will be better then overwatch and i have played lot of overwatch but still the good things have to allways END.
do you just think that it ended because it was just bad? Lmao it was beaten by overwatch ironic
@@Jetheos i enjoyed overwatch and i enjoyed this game aswell i dosent matter wich one is better is the thing that mattes is what you enjoy the most of i just enjoyed battleborne the most becauae i welt that it had more ways to play with and strategic your play style even if it ended i hope there will be more amazing games as it was

Who else has been coming back to this after the Battleborn servers were shut down.😢
Yeah... which is a shame, it had potential.
I come back often! Motivate me to keep showing we love the game, and want its return^^
"we get it thorn. you can sing."
that killed me
xD
Bloody show off
Wait witch character was the one that said bloody show of
+jackanar the Monster hunter I'm guessing Rath the 'Vampire'.
+Redstone Mage Sounds more like the large lumberjack guy in my opinion (Don't know all the names yet... give me a break xD)
I get goosebumps at the chorus, your singing is amazing!
Fuck this. I'm buying BattleBorn. The game deserves a fucking chance.
Considering this comment is from a month ago, I'm guessing you regret your choice.
glossyplane542 i dont think so its alot more fun than overwatch
MadmanSkeleton it's not thats it's more fun. I own both they're just completely different. The only similarity is that they have multiple hero's in it
Joe Slater my opinion
i like the outlandish character designs better in battleborn, it gives a unique addition feel to each character, instead of each character being equipped with robot parts of some sort
I love how Shayne and Aurox are rapping together, two voices as one
I believe this calls for an Overwatch vs Battleborn rap. Anyone else?
Actually J.T kinda already teases it on near end of the video
Where ( i dont know the name ) compares battle born to Overwatch
+OneTwoFo3r
I know, that's why I said that we need one now, because he's created that little tease.
+Riley Griffin that would be cool
Laura S. nah Battleborn vs tf2
Get on the hype train
"Some call it sociopathic, i call it deadly and dapper, call me what you'd prefer, but I would rather the latter, I'm a fashion icon, a widely reputed sniper, let me check my pocketwatch, time to pay the viper" this is my favorite part, and i know i didn't get his entire part, but who cares?
Yeah Marquis part was the best one for me too,i put this song to 2 friends of mine and after listening to it they said you main this guy?I said yes and they added well we call you a sociopath too so we dig in his and your style
Wish people play more battleborn rather than leave it forgotten
It's not forgotten, some people still hoping strongly for the comeback of the game ^^
i mean it would help if it wouldnt look like a identy crysis between overwarch and leauge of legends sure
that demon + teen character made me want to buy the game alot more
Thats Shayne and Aurox. The lyrics don't grasp the rivalry between the two: the in-game dialogue is hilarious.
Anyways, I think the game is worth a try. Its really fun (but I have enough money to buy it ;_; )
i love tagteam rivalry kinda y kreig is my favorit borderlands 2 character
Yea and the fancy robot
teriven verien shayne and aurox are really fun to play as and you're practically playing as 2 characters
"Fetch Aurox!"
"I WILL FEAST ON YOU INARDS YOU STUPID LITTLE GIRL."
Nice work on squeezing air though the top of your meatsacks guys! It's not like we have trillions of energy hungry Varelsi coming to tear us to pieces, i'm sure this was the most productive use of your time;;;). but seriously guys next time you do this tell me, i'm in! :D
This song is tbh one of the reasons that brought me back to Battleborn. Everytime it pops up in my Spotify queue, I am reminded how much I loved this game
The game is now playable, thanks to a fan! More information in the last Mentalmars video and in the official Battleborn discord! :D
“Wait, wait, wait. Did he just compare us to overwatch? Yes he did. Lets kick his ass!”
Whoever came up with this line is a god.
This just went around the Gearbox office. Nice work. We dig it.
was that a reference to the tf2 heavy I heard?
+halosreaper1 Yes, Yes it was.
I still love this rap lol ironically it’s what got me into battle borne for the brief year I played it, wish i could go back and play it some more but I play PlayStation now
Anyway getting to the point is it wierd i wish the game had been more popular so we could get a rap battle between Oscar Mike and Wiskey Foxtrot? XD I love those guys but Mike especially

When you gonna Remake this Masterpiece?
RIP this game....
Yup... this game deserved better but unfortunately overwatch had marketing on its side so battleborn quickly got shot down because of that and that's very... unfortunate.
It's sad to see this video five years later and to realize that the game was closed
god i have no clue what the fuck kinda game this even is but i love the robot sniper guy
fire chorus
Ending was the best. "We get it Thorn, you can sing, bloody show off."
Now that overwatch is dead its time to bring this masterpiece back
Agreed ! Definitely enjoyed battleborn
Gearbox has been bought early 2021 by THQ Nordic, maybe we can hope...

Song: "cause we're battleborn"
Me: WOAH
Battleborn was made on May 3rd, 2016. So Battleborn came here 13 days before. You may have rap, yet I have research.
..... I dont know what Battleborn is but the song is amazing
It’s a very underrated game, most people compared it to overwatch because I think they came out at the same time or something. But, because Overwatch was more appealing and had more fan service because of... the porn.... it quickly made Battleborn obsolete and if you were to play it rn, it’s basically unplayable, which saddens me

One of the best songs ya got on your there JT
Montana: You know, I was once a normal man, but then my creators accidentally hit caps.
this video will be a true memorial to battleborn
i wish this game was around when I learned of it. It looks really fun.
It was fun
I wonder of anyone else still watch this after 4 years.
Me

Me here in 2023
If I may just say, you guys have the best choruses in your songs of any rap artist I've heard.
Really miss this game most days

Dude like for real, pat needs to do voice acting. His voice is so versatile, it fits so well for so manu characters
Who else remembered this song years later but couldn't remember it
I was brought here by Fight Like Hell. Don't regret it at all.
This rap of the game is more popular than the actual game
0:13 omg its raiden, he's a fun guy
No likes, no comments. This deserves to be hidden
how dare you not have oscar mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you know, I never ever remember this game, but I always remember this song 3 years later. 10/10 song.
I wish this game was around still.
BattleBorn is now shut down. It has my dearest respect.
One minor critique, I think the music was a bit too loud so the vocals were a bit mute
+Zander Camargo Thanks for the feedback! I'll try to keep that in mind for the future!
+JT Machinima May I ask who's the girl she's great
+Flowey The flower the same girl whos in all his other ones with girls
The girl singer is Andrea Storm Kaden, I think her channel link is in the description
same here
THIS MUSIC IS AWSOME!!!!!
I think we all know what's coming now Battleborn vs overwatch rap battle
Battle of baadasses.
I would lik to see that bro
+gavin hiller that would be epic
Easily half of the classes can compare to half of the overwatchan characters
+Random Guy they did terraria vs. minecraft, and more people voted for terraria, so i don't see anything wrong with this.
I forgot this game existed, and with that this rap. Until it just popped up in my recommendations.
And... Still good.

Oh god! That Over Watch reference was the absolute best!
I am on the floor right now.

Battleborn went offline today January 31st, 2021.

That's just a sad L,the game looked actually decent,the shame is that not many people actually considered to play it,mostly because the whole "just another fps game" feeling that players gave it.
I was the only one that still played it and I had lots and lots of trouble getting into games
7 years later, "Greatest Rap Ever" still amazing.
Or when skullcrusher recorded himself.
When I was little
People say Battleborn is similar to Overwatch. I think it's closer to Smite or League of Legends, but not nearly as long.
That's always been the sad part. Outside of the fact that it's a "hero shooter," OW and BB had, in actuality, very little in common. Yes, the games had similarities, but they ended with being more cartoonish FPS's with each character having unique abilities and playstyles.

When are we getting part 2 of the battle born rap?
Now that the game is playable again on pc (solo/pve for now) thank to a moder, there should be a part 2 ^^
i wish this game got re released like a remastered edition so it can get its time in the sun
JT, this song is awesome! I loved how you added the Marquis echo-y Magnus AI voice!
hmm, BattleBorn seems fun, i really like that girl with the Demon, kinda reminds me of me when i have a bad day, i also really like the look of that Archer (i've never even seen this game before so sorry if i sounded a bit noobish and i don't know the names)
Ah, thank you for the names!
i guess i could have, but if its a game like that has potential, a youtuber i might know might do it, but again, i could have, but i'm lazy :p
i've seen a few youtubers play it, so people know about it
indeed it would, but all things come to an end, even if it was never really popular
EnderGirlGaming Minecraft and More! thorn is my brother's favorite character sadly he likes overwatch more but his opinion also it might be going f2p so don't worry about it dying
Any rap with Jt and Andrea is a good one
Completely agree
Battleborn, it's back in town. If you're not a hero, don't stick around...
the games are actually REALLY different
+Ezelion the Ironclad thank you someone is actually smart hard to find people like that in 2016
+Isaiah Spivey I try. I don't always succeed but darn it I try.
this game need players
2:09 my fav bit
Battleborn is one of my favorite fps games loved the chorus
Fuckin sucks that this badass game isn't playable anymore
I still love this song so much
Battleborn rules and even overwatch too
One of my fav raps ever
They should bring this game back now that overwatch sucks
some really cool characters, love the teen commanding a demon and the gentlemen robot.

You need to make nore parts for the rest if them. Good work on this!
Battleborn deserved better. Nobody gave it a chance because they thought it was a worse Overwatch, missing the fact that it had very different mechanics and game modes. The only good thing about this is the fact Randy Pitchford got screwed over.
