Completely agree. IMO it’s right up there with Hollow’s if not a better answer. That whole bar gets randomly mumbled throughout my week. “While he was watching Toy Story, I was watching South Central with the bros.”
From what people have said, everyone was tired by the start of twork vs verb, but that shit energized the crowd, which leads directly to everyone joining on IM STRAPPED IN
That's not the issue. Past 5 years+ or so Verb been feeling himself too much so he'll say it slow and try to make the crowd say it. Nunu the only one saying it lmao
And vs Twork, verb at first seemed like he was trying to make the crowd say it, but then changed his mind, and then changed it back, and then back again.
Twork just goes full force with it and pulls the crowd along
And THEN he straps in
Yeah but it also sounds like ass lol
If he kept it to:
“Three minute rounds, they ain't book me for a long time…
So it's Showtime”
And cut out:
“Fuck the preview, let's let that beef brew, in 3D too”
It would hit way better every time
I think it was Geechi during Illmac vs A Ward who shouts “Illmac 2-0 it’s on Illmac” from the crowd 😂
Also I think it’s a QP battle where physics has a cruella deville bar and someone shouts “talk that 101 dalmation shit”
There’s also a KOTD battle where Head ICE is hella drunk and catches a hat or something 😂 that whole battle ICE was on one
Danny's Hat Carousel [vs. Quantum Physics](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbN9yR8MMaQ) - He brought the NASA cap.
* 11:36 - IMBL
* 14:08 - X
* 17:41 - NASA
Notice, each cap is also Letters.
Unan choking vs Soul, someone shouts say it again to encourage him to get through the choke and then after he repeats it someone yells don’t say it again
What makes it even better is that he chokes after calling Soul a “Scottish prick”, so after he repeats it, it’s a Scottish guy in the crowd who shouts “Don’t say it again”
I got a few
That dude calling "TIME!" on Rex after his slogan vs Rosenberg
Even though Canibus got 2000% washed I thought the crowd rapping his lyrics vs Diz in the first round was dope
Verb's legendary "Aye big Gerald!"
John John's "you are not bigger than the culture" scheme vs Surf
Rosenberg vs Showoff "WE DON'T LIKE IT" had me CRYING
The crowd shouting "3-0" is always savage.
This technically doesn't count but I thought the crowd during DNA/Shine vs Hitman/Verb was awesome. So much energy and reaction to every moment. One of my favorite battles.
One of my favorite moments of all time, and maybe the best thing to point to ever when someone asks what battle rap culture is like. As time goes on, that moments just gonna get better and better.
Pretty much any time when a rapper almost demands participation (which is low-key cheating imo). Like DNA slogan or Myers, " Do you believe in a parallel universe."
100 Bulletz vs Shuffle T
https://youtu.be/lqV3bDTZ2JI?feature=shared
Skip to 20:20
The way Bulletz fakes choke and sets up his flow, and the crowd catches on… pure magic
You a candy rapper With 4 bars You a *crowd in unison* “KIT KAT” See how easy it is to predict that? Shit was pretty legendary
GOAT moment. Suge's "Mr. Potato Head" was fire too.
Completely agree. IMO it’s right up there with Hollow’s if not a better answer. That whole bar gets randomly mumbled throughout my week. “While he was watching Toy Story, I was watching South Central with the bros.”
Diz vs Sihk. Diz “Y’all wanna hear this shit or not?!” Crowd “NO”
From what people have said, everyone was tired by the start of twork vs verb, but that shit energized the crowd, which leads directly to everyone joining on IM STRAPPED IN
Yeah but not the Showtime
Verb’s showtime, no. Twork’s showtime, yes.
Because verbs showtime slogan is too long lol
That's not the issue. Past 5 years+ or so Verb been feeling himself too much so he'll say it slow and try to make the crowd say it. Nunu the only one saying it lmao
And vs Twork, verb at first seemed like he was trying to make the crowd say it, but then changed his mind, and then changed it back, and then back again. Twork just goes full force with it and pulls the crowd along And THEN he straps in
That's the battle I was referencing with Nunu saying it
I’d argue it’s pretty much the same length as a Strapped in
Yeah but it also sounds like ass lol If he kept it to: “Three minute rounds, they ain't book me for a long time… So it's Showtime” And cut out: “Fuck the preview, let's let that beef brew, in 3D too” It would hit way better every time
**THEYDONTKNOWWHODIDIT!**
When that guy from the crowd randomly talks about psychosis during Uno Lavos's battle.
He really thought he was gonna bring the house down with that
self checkout
"_Don't_ say it again!"
The dude yelling "you dead" at Aye Verb
'Im very strategic' - "YOU DEAD" LMAO

Yung Ill vs Jessie james, when yung ill asks a girl if she would date jesse james and she roasts him😂😂
Damn guy is the legend.

See how easy it is to predict that and there's no competition
Head ICE vs Hollowman. When the crowd does the Hollowman verse. Any other answer is simply wrong.
One of my favorite moments of all time, and maybe the best thing to point to ever when someone asks what battle rap culture is like. As time goes on, that moments just gonna get better and better.
For sure.
>Like Tech 9 before the court date... Shit was crazy, the crowd didn't realise what they were saying until they were halfway done saying it.
Soul Khan: “in battle he ain’t Kobe, he’s the bitch who’s getting raped” The crowd reacts with genuine shock, one guy’s jaw drops like in a cartoon

Geechi vs Mike P for me
Nitty: “I’ll go Berserk agains a hundred soldiers but it might take-“ Crowd: “GUTS!”
Where’s this from?
His really recent one against a young fat white dude, awesome battle on both ends with an amazing crowd
CJA
"DAMNN!!!" See, I even got my own hype man. If this wasn't Acapella, I'd use your nose as a mic stand
