I'm neither British nor American and believe me when I say i'm not bias but Illmac and Thesaurus had that 4-2 including the sudden death punchlines. P.S. That host is high as a kite.
"Yo i have piranhas in my gene pool ? I got your daughter on my sweet tool while im walking her to pre school "- THesaurus Where's Chris Hansen when you need him.. ? Jk i know it was off the top and in the moment, Illmac and Thesaurus are legends
kurojin97 1. whash is trash. 2. possessed' lines went over their heads. 3. possessed was acting like a bitch trying to predict everything during illmac and thesaurus' rounds. that's why they didn't make noise for them.
@Detriment Hip Hop He was extremely inconsistent though, mostly just spitting filler with 1 or 2 dope lines like those every round. Sort of like illmac in 07 WRC's.
Detriment Hip Hop At first I thought thesaurus and illmac had written throughout this whole tournament, but after hearing some of the flips they had it made me question myself. Reain is dope as an Emcee, and he had some great lines throughout this tournament, but he still wasn’t that consistent compared to the other three. I hear you though about him being judged unfairly on RUIN YOUR DAY.
you can learn a lot about the battle technique when you watch the saurus if he isnt rapping...he's constantly recalling something or looking for a scheme to work off of..pretty impressive..
you're forgetting the fact that in sudden-death punchlines, it only takes one punchline to melt down an entire teams bars, it may seem unfair, but its sudden-death punchlines
"got some hand gestures your ancestors in manchester can understand better"..."you either tried to shave with a live granade or your entire face travled time and space just to land in my fire place" TIGHT
Karabo Masibi Washisface and Possessed got robbed in the first battle, not goint to OT though, so I think it was kinda to make up for the mistake. Also, "take the fucking mask off, Halloween's not for 2 days" obviously killed the punchlines.
Fair decision. Illmac n thesaurus had better flow but possessed and whashisface had more hurtful punches. “Send this fool back to Liverpool” That’s like U.K. saying “I’ll send this dork back to New York”. Lame
As much as I love Possessed, Illmaculate and Thesaurus got robbed, here. That being said, Possessed is the only one of the four of them that makes good music, so technically it wasn't a complete loss.
TheSaurus and Illmac should have totally won. I don't think there's much debate over that. Both teams are really good, but Saurus and Mac just killed it. Hard. Shouldn't have even gone to OT
Yes, Saurus and Illmac won this, but anyone who says it was completely one-sided is an idiot. The Brits had some sick lines; people are getting hung up on the accents, which is stupid. They're MUCH better than they're getting credit for.
Seems like the crowd there we're all american or just likeed saurus and illmaculate better anyway. The british dudes had some good punch lines while the crowd 'I think' ignored them. What do you think?
This is probs the best comment i've read on this entire video. Respect for both they were both good, I think the brits were more creative though. Thats not to say that us merked the other rounds
I thought Illmaculate/The Saurus took it in 3, Whashisface/Possessed took the overtime and split the sudden death punchlines; I would have called at 3 rounds, though.
in case you havent noticed, every final in WRC has gone 3 rounds, they give each a round then decide it with the third, doesnt matter who came hard in this battle, it was always going to the englismen so they could sell that last round
ill round...personally i thought saurus and illmac got it in the first 3...but Possessed and Whashisface came real dope. that being sed i think UK won the punchline overtime, but i dont think it needed overtime...whatever, ill ass battle, bigups to them 4
You're right, it's more punctuation and such. It DOESN'T matter, but your comment was about cats not understanding "your" English language, so I had to mention it. The US definitely won this, but UK represented. This year, UK won against NY, no question.
I'm British and can honestly say that the Americans won hands down. I love British and American rap... I think both are good so I'm not going to be bias towards either side. Illmac and Thesaurus are on another level when it comes to battle rapping.
damn illmac and thesaurus were actually better as a duo back then. maybe it had to do with major money on the line. if that's the case, pay these hard working emcees and they'll produce a better product every time!
you must have missed half of thesaurus' lines then .. "the questions whashisface and ive just been notified // its oversized lips and nose, equipped with those bulgy eyes
look at the hand gesture that thesuarus made at 18.00 after his stemroller line, and in this round the us didnt merk the brits but i admit they won overall they were the better side over the three legs
in most the battles half the time the dude predicting the lines is just saying the end of the last word. not hard to predict that in rap battle when things are supposed to rhyme
Saurus and illmac were pissed because they knew the battle was already over in favor to them even before the punchline sudden deaths. The judges are horrible- the first punch Whatshisface threw wasn't even a punch. It should've been over at that sudden death round IF any sudden death round.
Oh my bad, missread..I do agree though, The british team did an impressive job, But honestly it did not need a third round, the 1punchline per team part goes to USA team, since the Nose joke The Saurus did to end it beats the Halloween Line..but that's just my opinion
In this battle,just like any battle for big money,all participants have bunch of pre-meds,and the rest are rebuttals and continuing the rhyme schemes of the other guy...True freestyle battles are either on the street for no big cash prize,or the Red Bull/Freestyle Olympics kinda setup,where you are given words/props to use on the spot
They should have just gave it to the UK after 3 rounds if that was the plan, the judges just sent them for endless punchlines on sudden death until the UK death got a better one so they could call it for them.
"listen ima spit the worst "
Bad means good
You never heard street slang in a rap battle?
@@762mm7 .he never said it was bad he just quoted it
Fair enough
@@762mm7he didn't say bad. He said worst. Which slang from what country are you talking about?
@@locknezmunster UK slang brother
Wow. Never seen a team lose after killing the opposition 7-0, but here we are. Watched it 16 years ago, came back to see it again… still a crazy call.
.actually remember watching this when I was 14 and was so confused by the decision
I remember watching this when it came out and I’m still as surprised as I am now lol
I'm neither British nor American and believe me when I say i'm not bias but Illmac and Thesaurus had that 4-2 including the sudden death punchlines. P.S. That host is high as a kite.
The Halloween Mask punchline won that round
Lets be honest here. Everyone just wanted to hear mac and saurus go one more even tho they already won with this one. Mac & Saurus all 3!
Possessed is dope though
Nah tbh Whashisface and Possessed won Round 2 ... The Halloween Mask punchline won that one ...
"shit, sometimes theres a hat included"
haha good reference
The predictions were way off and he just made similar rhyming sounds for 90 percent of it
he called illmac a halfling... hahahaha
"I've got your daughter on my sweet tool, when I'm walking her to pre-school" - Thesaurus.
Doesn't that punchline sound kinda "pedo" ish ??
@@MindMan424 Yessss.. lol
"wonder what kind methamphetamines professor green was on, when he tried to have a baby with zinadine zadane" LMFAO
"Yo i have piranhas in my gene pool ? I got your daughter on my sweet tool while im walking her to pre school "- THesaurus
Where's Chris Hansen when you need him.. ?
Jk i know it was off the top and in the moment, Illmac and Thesaurus are legends
Lol it’s still about as creepy as Wha’shisface saying “I’ma spit the worst...”
By any chance , doesn't that preschool punchline sound kinda "pedophile" ish ?
This was when rap was disrespectful,not so Democrat as today
That was crazy when thesaurus said "Ethi-" and that genius predicted "opian".
😹
Also, the shit is funny as hell when Possessed predicts like every single one of their lines.
I hate how people made noise for Illmac and Thesaurus' lines and not Whashisface and Possessed's
kurojin97 1. whash is trash. 2. possessed' lines went over their heads. 3. possessed was acting like a bitch trying to predict everything during illmac and thesaurus' rounds.
that's why they didn't make noise for them.
Because they sucked

I'll whip your smile off "the face of the earth", definitely a punch mixed with wordplay.
Is that all you caught 💀💀 there is so much wordplay you missed kid
"This lame cat, his names mac, but he isnt a big one..." Hahahaha
I've always loved these battles....but yo...loudly trying to predict others punchlines, interrupting, is the wackest shit ever.
Whashisface actually said "Ima spit the worst". Worst setup ever lol
Worst used to mean best. like Ill/sick/worst UK Slang
you can learn a lot about the battle technique when you watch the saurus if he isnt rapping...he's constantly recalling something or looking for a scheme to work off of..pretty impressive..
9:45 damn illmac that was a huge line that got no reaction "echoin our lines were not in a cave"
you're forgetting the fact that in sudden-death punchlines, it only takes one punchline to melt down an entire teams bars, it may seem unfair, but its sudden-death punchlines
Illmac and Saurus had that 2-1. Even if it did go to punchlines twice, illmacs "While you're not trying to fuck yours up" was the finisher.
"got some hand gestures your ancestors in manchester can understand better"..."you either tried to shave with a live granade or your entire face travled time and space just to land in my fire place" TIGHT
I'm not American or British but that was daylight robbery, Ilmac and Thesaurus had it in 3, even OT and the sudden death punchlines, y'all know it
Karabo Masibi Washisface and Possessed got robbed in the first battle, not goint to OT though, so I think it was kinda to make up for the mistake. Also, "take the fucking mask off, Halloween's not for 2 days" obviously killed the punchlines.
holm81 clear win in the first battle.
Fair decision. Illmac n thesaurus had better flow but possessed and whashisface had more hurtful punches.
“Send this fool back to Liverpool”
That’s like U.K. saying “I’ll send this dork back to New York”. Lame
its the very first video under 'Related Videos' >>> not hard to find.
"we moaned enough"
"we moned enough, you mone enough you get what you want"
they even knew they lost
has the first leg been posted yet?
"He's harmless and a weak fool, with that face you must've had piranhas in your gene pool" -Bodybag right there
As much as I love Possessed, Illmaculate and Thesaurus got robbed, here. That being said, Possessed is the only one of the four of them that makes good music, so technically it wasn't a complete loss.
i remember watching this when it came out and thinking "wow i doubt i will ever see a battle this ill ever again" lol
Illmaculate & The Saurus in a group or got any albums cos their siiick
Everyone can predict your bars too, Possessed.
Lmfao that shit was hilarious. Such a bad decision and Thesaurus walking off like he was ready to jump 😂😂
TheSaurus and Illmac should have totally won. I don't think there's much debate over that. Both teams are really good, but Saurus and Mac just killed it. Hard.
Shouldn't have even gone to OT
Yes, Saurus and Illmac won this, but anyone who says it was completely one-sided is an idiot. The Brits had some sick lines; people are getting hung up on the accents, which is stupid.
They're MUCH better than they're getting credit for.
"listen I'm the dark type"
what's the song playing at the beginning?
They did come up with some sick punches though. Overall it makes some great viewing and I can't wait till the next 1.
lol the more possessed kept predicting, the more foolish it made him look. illmac already got you on that
So how about that Revolutionary War?
whats the intro song?
anybody know the name of the theme song?
well theres gonna be a wrc09 i dunno when its gonna be uploaded tho, ive seen 2 of the tryout battles tho
that battle in overtime should have went to ill and saurus. Possessed makes the best tracks out of all of em, one of the best MC's ever in my opinion.
Is Rhyme Asylum and Possessed the same person?
'The judges were split evenly'.....that's why there shouldn't be an even number of judges fucksake.
Do you watch Don't Flop!!!
How did Possesed rhyme jurrasic park with shattered glass... simply amazing lol
The accent makes words rhyme good
Illmac and saurus were mad about this one lol
wtf illmac and saurus won the first 2 sudden death punch lines !!!!!
is dat possesed from rhyme asylum?
LOL illmac and thesaurus literally won EVERY round, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and OT. and they won each round of the punchline round too imo;
Seems like the crowd there we're all american or just likeed saurus and illmaculate better anyway. The british dudes had some good punch lines while the crowd 'I think' ignored them. What do you think?
.yo I'm very.............
MAD!
@jraymond1988 this isnt a battle about who's more of a 'gangsta' it's about who's lyrically better with punchlines that hit harder
when was that in the vid
Think about it
If they lost there would only be 2 parts, thanks to the judges there's another video to watch
This is probs the best comment i've read on this entire video. Respect for both they were both good, I think the brits were more creative though. Thats not to say that us merked the other rounds
I thought Illmaculate/The Saurus took it in 3, Whashisface/Possessed took the overtime and split the sudden death punchlines; I would have called at 3 rounds, though.
@AwesomeAaron87 that was a terrible story and im american...was it a piano battle?
in case you havent noticed, every final in WRC has gone 3 rounds, they give each a round then decide it with the third, doesnt matter who came hard in this battle, it was always going to the englismen so they could sell that last round
what do u mean toughen up?
Amazing, that's a fucking freestyle battle! One of the best
what about Life MC from Phi-Life Cypher? hes big from the UK. He'd get out good competition to Biggie n Big L.
How is thesaurus n illmac ny?
battle 2?!?!?!?!?! FRESH
ill round...personally i thought saurus and illmac got it in the first 3...but Possessed and Whashisface came real dope. that being sed i think UK won the punchline overtime, but i dont think it needed overtime...whatever,
ill ass battle, bigups to them 4
I wish Illmac and The Saurus came this hard in the Playoffs this year.
You're right, it's more punctuation and such. It DOESN'T matter, but your comment was about cats not understanding "your" English language, so I had to mention it. The US definitely won this, but UK represented. This year, UK won against NY, no question.
"this lame cat, his names mac, but he isnt a big one" hahaa
the brits got slept on
Possessed is the best...He was always the best...
Congratulations Possessed, you can predict filler lines. Now what about the punchilnes that completely destroyed you?
I'm British and can honestly say that the Americans won hands down. I love British and American rap... I think both are good so I'm not going to be bias towards either side. Illmac and Thesaurus are on another level when it comes to battle rapping.
damn illmac and thesaurus were actually better as a duo back then. maybe it had to do with major money on the line. if that's the case, pay these hard working emcees and they'll produce a better product every time!
8:42: how the heck does thesaurus multisyllabically freestyle like that. I know ppl who can rhyme but rarely have that much content;
you must have missed half of thesaurus' lines then ..
"the questions whashisface and ive just been notified // its oversized lips and nose, equipped with those bulgy eyes
How the outcome of this battle is up for debate is beyond me. Frank Bruno fucking killed it.
this comming from a guy who idolizes oasis. If they are so "awful" than what does that make WHF and Possessed when they loose in the final round?
That's true, but so do Illmac and TheSaurus. Possessed was killing it the entire time.
look at the hand gesture that thesuarus made at 18.00 after his stemroller line, and in this round the us didnt merk the brits but i admit they won overall they were the better side over the three legs
yeh its quite surprising, if he keeps doing that he'll have bare sicker lines than what he's already got!
umm no. If you listen both US and UK have freestyle material and written stuff in the first round. Why are you hating on UK?
Damn, theres no way I can make it through a 3rd battle between these guys!
You realize they teamed up after 'mac bodied Saurus in a battle, right?
Why does Possessed keep mimicking just the end of the lines lol? Dude was only predicting the last word or so not the whole fuckin line
Illmac's punchline at 17:05 - For the Win, that crushed'em, they were really just pushing for a 3rd battle - thats all this was.
hard to look touh wih opera as your anthem
in most the battles half the time the dude predicting the lines is just saying the end of the last word. not hard to predict that in rap battle when things are supposed to rhyme
Illmaculate/The Saurus fucking killed it
Saurus and illmac were pissed because they knew the battle was already over in favor to them even before the punchline sudden deaths. The judges are horrible- the first punch Whatshisface threw wasn't even a punch. It should've been over at that sudden death round IF any sudden death round.
i would like 2see ghetto frm uk here team up with giggs from uk gd teams giggs has gt punchlines n ghetto is a lyricist
lol wtf, how did possessed and whashisface win this round? it must of been some excuse to make it go to a final round....
Oh my bad, missread..I do agree though, The british team did an impressive job, But honestly it did not need a third round, the 1punchline per team part goes to USA team, since the Nose joke The Saurus did to end it beats the Halloween Line..but that's just my opinion
If it's solely based on the last punchline... the Steamroller line by The Saurus was better than Possessed's halloween line.
I remember watching this on tv before youtube was the shit haha good battle
In this battle,just like any battle for big money,all participants have bunch of pre-meds,and the rest are rebuttals and continuing the rhyme schemes of the other guy...True freestyle battles are either on the street for no big cash prize,or the Red Bull/Freestyle Olympics kinda setup,where you are given words/props to use on the spot

the crowd acts like they wanna jump off the fucking roof
