I'm an Apathy fan, so my opinion MIGHT be biased but: 1st Round: Bless won 2nd Round: Apathy won 3rd Round: It was even but Apathy wins because Bless re-used a line for a 2nd time ..first he used the Doogie Howser line twice, then he said "i dont even have to rap no more" twice. you can't do that and still win the battle.
Haha, this is amazing... Of course I've enjoyed APATHY's raps since the '00s (Still Sick freestyle with Sage Francis and later on various 12" projects and the Demigodz mixtape) and BLESS, an unknown remarkably short Rhode Island guy that Sage Francis himself likened me with for some reason whenever we've met so I've been obliged to root for him, and here we are now LIVE.... What a crazy video to come up in the algorithm. sup yo :'D
Ap hosted a small freestyle battle tournament at(I think?) Central(or maybe it was Eastern?) Connecticut State University when I was in high school. The winner of the tournament got to battle a dude who performed a song or two of his(not sure how he was associated with Apathy.) Honestly, he smoked the guys boots. Then he battled Apathy, and Ap got him pretty good. Also, how incredible(i.e. awkward/embarrassing) were some of these old freestyle battles, particular the reactions of the guy who's not rapping? Don't get me wrong, I could never do it, but it always felt awkward to me how hyped up and manic they were. I'm sure a lot of it is nerves/anxiety(and maybe that's why it's awkward for me to watch as I have bad anxiety) but it's always made me less inclined to watch these types of battles. Well, that, and the fact that A. you often can't hear/understand what they're saying between the crappy audio, the music, and the fans constantly cheering, or more often, booing(which always bothered me too), and B. you have to listen to a lot of filler before you get a big haymaker. Doesn't surprise me at all that battlerap turned into the pre-written, a cappella style that dominates now. I do miss the actual rapping and flow though. That's probably why the dudes who actually rap(meaning in the actual battle, or who make music, such as Arsonal, Passwurdz, Math Hoffa, Lux, even E Ness, like in his battle with Iron Solomon) have always been my favorite. Actually there is/was that league in Atlanta that had pre-written verses over beats, and then one round a cappella, but that didn't work as well as I'd hoped.
look at bless trying to look hard when hes finishing aps lines.... i mean what else could he possibly say after "go home and do your___" .... not impressed bless
Everyone who says they suck this was real battling before you got months to practice against who you was battling nobody knew who they wad battling till a little while before they battled so its mostly off the top iys not like the new form where they tell you who your battling months before you battle nowadays battles are more like diss songs i still love battles but now its mostly all written when i was coming up it was considered wack if you used writtens i just like off the top battles better i think it took more skill peace
bless dont seem like a sportsmen to me.. if u go by round bless got owned, if u feel like you could ride the momentum fro bess's first dominant round than he wins, but i dont think 1 awesome round makes up for 2 terrible ones
ap destroyed him but everyone has certain punchlines that they'll use for certain shit the other kid said the same shit twice come on now not jut cuz im an AP fan but he slaughtered this kid
“Moms outside waiting to pick him up” lmao apathy is a beast💀😂

Apathy wins FATALITY
LOL...yea Ap is a beast no question...thanks for viewing! peace!!
I can't find any Bless music
look for Bless presents Platinumburg. came out in 2003ish
Bayle Rhyme
no one cares
louis cipher somebody might care
no, def nobody cares :)
ur pretty negative eh
man this shit is old, ap didnt have tatoos on his arm
bless is like a wannabe eyedea
Idk man that was just kinda the white kid style back then haha
That’s what I was thinking too
Kid was SHOOK [rightfully so]
Haha, this is amazing...

What a crazy video to come up in the algorithm. sup yo :'D
Appreciate the love on my page, glad people still enjoying this old footage....salute SBmedo20!
"yo..small verse..yo" bless says yo too much tf
what is the beat of the last rap?!?!?!
ANTE UP, YAP THAT FOOL!
After the crowd hears apathy it's hard to like the other guy
Haha Bless has an epic meltdown in the 3rd round. had a good verse, but clearly not in the same league as Ap
how many times is bliss gonna say yo! ap murderd this one!
Whats the 3rd beat
It should be made clear that this Bless is not the Bless from Canada.
This guy looks more like Slim Jesus.
I was gonna say..doesnt even sound like him..
I'm not going to lie, bless was actually good.
Ap hosted a small freestyle battle tournament at(I think?) Central(or maybe it was Eastern?) Connecticut State University when I was in high school.

Yo, where's my grade teach?
Word APATHY
last beat?
fameroskis Keep it Thoro - Prodigy, off of HNIC. RIP P.
or was Bless just another one of his names?
is this bless from def jam fight 4 NY ?
i'm afraid not, lol...thank you for the view/comment tho, peace!
Bless sucked in the second round, but was dope in the first and third
His 1st verse was fire
Lmaaaao that wasn't even fair ap smushed him
why is eyedea such a biter on Bless' style?
you got tht backwards
Looks like the Vinnie Paz wannabe doesn't understand sarcasm. Kids are such morons nowadays I swear...
Bless bit eyedeas style, do your research ya fuckin schmuck!!!!!
look at bless trying to look hard when hes finishing aps lines.... i mean what else could he possibly say after "go home and do your___" .... not impressed bless
I dont know if i can take him serious in that turtleneck...
as soon as bless starts to spit you can tell its written shit. especially using apathys own line against him
Everyone who says they suck this was real battling before you got months to practice against who you was battling nobody knew who they wad battling till a little while before they battled so its mostly off the top iys not like the new form where they tell you who your battling months before you battle nowadays battles are more like diss songs i still love battles but now its mostly all written when i was coming up it was considered wack if you used writtens i just like off the top battles better i think it took more skill peace
real talk...thank you for checking my videos out, peace Anthony!
indiehiphop101 no problem i appreciate your videos
much respect fam... thanks again
Bless's shit was pre-written
But,I never left the place I came from so,um..awkward..
@NamezJamez007 all i gotta say is read the description ... "LOCAL mc bless "
Ap destroys him game over. AP the best of all time
Dude idk how hard it is to get a battle but u should face Marshall law. U definitely got skills no doubt
I don't know why people keep saying Apathy ripped him,
Bless wasn't even bad, better than other rappers Ap battled.
Apathy should have battled someone in his calibre. This is crazy disproportionate.
AOTP AOTP!!!!
Homie spits before the beat drops haha. Aight AP
no its not
Killing 'em while wearing a turtleneck.
@hellgiver21 lmfao dude thats a technique to intimidate your opponent in a way of saying their lines are predictable
bless was kinna dope when he started then went downhill form there cuz ap gain momentem lol
I'd rather see Ap battle someone like Swave Sevah or Pat Stay
Bless is finishing Ap's lines for him and you guys are calling it a freestyle. Tah!
HAH the little twerp owned AP in that first round HERO DAWG
I ripped him? your mom probably ripped you for going past your curfew
yooooo lol
bless must be the 1 dislike
ante up
Lol Bless sucked and said "This is fucking bullshit! I ripped him! Hmehhhhh" Hahaha what the fuck?
wtf? thats Eyedea not bless
apathy would be 100 times better if he was to battle sumone
bless dont seem like a sportsmen to me.. if u go by round bless got owned, if u feel like you could ride the momentum fro bess's first dominant round than he wins, but i dont think 1 awesome round makes up for 2 terrible ones
ap destroyed him but everyone has certain punchlines that they'll use for certain shit the other kid said the same shit twice come on now not jut cuz im an AP fan but he slaughtered this kid
ap destroyed him!
Personally to me if you say yo every other line, your small minded and shouldnt be rapping.
awkward
Wack all around.
not impressive
Both sucked...Simple..
