“See you could flow but I take off heads and why you so upset, wake up on the wrong side of the racecar bed” 😭

gotta love illmac's first verse.. that was so classic

That back to back matching rap wedding banns line was really funny.

Illmaculate has progressed so much over the years, in terms of his style and delivery, it's crazy.

I've been waiting for this.

Oh man this battle was incredible!

exactly man, well put.. props to illmac dropping it free in the third here too..keeping it alive and still crushing.

"some say ur half mexican so i started to fuckin laugh, cuz when i asked when the rest is but there is no other half" LMAO killed it

that first verse illmaculate did was so clever with that sarcasm

OMG I miss battles like these

i laughed when illmac said he's never myspace'd madness. Be hilarious for someone to say that in a battle nowadays.

Props to Illmaculate for battling Madness and Dizaster on the same night, and doing an admirable freestyle job in the last round.

illmac...madness, congrats on 1 of the best battles ive seen ever , real talk lol.

Madness has some of the best jokes in rap battle history. And every line almost is at the opponent not just some random reciting lyrics to the crowd shit.

great battle by both

wow this was great!

Its the same Battle Event. Both filmed on the same day. Genius.

I'm 20, I live in NY, EVERYONE in elementary played it every single day, all throughout the country too. We just talked about that game in my college U.S. History class!

sick battle. madness had me cracking up the entire time.

two battles from Illmaculate in one day..wow

this battle was dope

I'm a bulletproof tiger with wings. Battle over.

i wish i was at one of these live events.

"You can't act tough when we seen you grow up on camera like the truman show" Dope battle think Madness edged it.

props to u man, thats a v.good point.

you and the other 28 people are hilarious

illmac's first round was fucking hilarious. madness got this though. and he beat dizaster.

He wore the same clothes because it was on the same day

the line with how he was the only one that looked up to his action figure was hilarious.

dope battle madness all day !

thats a dope shirt that madness has- warriors is one of the sickest movies ever

Well god damn... it's been sooooo long since I seen a battle this heated. I mean where both sides bring it with fire.. Both sides hit hard. I could literally feel the punches. This was an awesome battle. Much props.. One last thing is this was a boxing or UFC match they would be both knocked out.

Man illmac is easily one of the best freestyle MC's ever

It's on here. GrindTimeTracks has it on now.

lol fckin great battle, no matter who got it, it was still nice to watch

back when rap battles were timed, judged, and more entertaining

Good post.

New MADNESS battle uploaded now @ Don't Flop! Madness Vs Kulez! Merry Christmas from Don't Flop

yo, both of em went hard and i like madness' respect at the end when he said, "respect"

illlmac sick wit the flips and frees tho best out there!

pretty dope

illmac's first round is one of my favorites ever tho

Illmac with the first verse.. Fucking killed it. Nuff said.

pretty good battle.

man this needs a 90 sec overround.

Theres no sense in people coming on here and saying who they think won, this was a promo battle so the outcome is irrelevant.. everyone's opinion on who won doesn't mean shit. This was an instant classic we are all fortunate to see. It would be dope to hear them both on a track. Respect.

"Take a shit in your talent pool.."lol/ "grew up teethin' on a flat tire.."

This battle was fuckin insane.

Bullet proof tiger with wings lol... gotta love these guys

Oh haha, much appreciated.

I've never seen Madness beat anyone this badly. What makes it especially sting is that he looked like an Oxy Contin dealer who lures fifteen year-old girls into his van.

"One of the main events from The Battle of the Bay part 3 in Oakland, CA on February 28, 2009. Undefeated Dizaster takes on Grind Time Northwest President & Two-TIme World Rap Champion Illmaculate. Who do you think will take it?" Video description from Dizaster. Now read the video description from this one. Lush One changed Delmon is wearing the same purple striped hoodie and same T.

The legends

You can listen to Madness' rounds and tell that this is where Soul Khan got his whole style from.

Fresh Coast!!!!! all we need is Soul Khan in our Roster and we would be dominating

You need to watch his battles in KOTD, and other Grind Time Battles. Or his battles in England... Trust when I say Illmac is deserving of each and every praise he recieves... One of my favorite Battle MC's. along with The Saurus, Loaded Lux, Fox 5, Conceited, M.A.T.H Hoffa, Dizaster, theres a few others that I can't remember right now.but thse are the main core.

I honestly think even debating this battle is pointless, it's just one of those battles that is really fucking good for the medium in general.

Gotta give Madness props for his TMNT Krang reference. BALLIN'!!!

sickk still brings new heat illmacs gotta get back his ground

illmaculate dropped a kenny powers line, how can you not love him

Madness murdered Ilmac.

ill mac is amazing!

Half Mexican, i'd ask what the other half is, but there is no other half" - sick line. lolol

Ill's material was so next level. Mad was funnier for sure but Ill clearly out rapped him.

illmac's first verse was genius. my fav verse of the battle. but the first round was still close; but madness won the second and easily won the third.

so is grind time in general

gotta love madness

madness' writtens were hilarious. the line about praying to thesaurus cuz his face was holey... WOW!

when i 1st saw this i didnt know what to think. illmaculate is just crazy and thought he would edge him out. But god damn madness did a lot better than i thought! much respect to both. they both did there thing.

"this beanpole bastard!"

illmac hands down, he stepped his game up

@jesusinawhitetee nope! the thesaurus battle was at another event. I think it was held at the same venue.

If you knew anything his original name was critical madness, its even on the video next to his name

@6:05 "I'm a bulletproof tiger with wings"

Tasty.....

Just downloaded Oregon Trail... Shit is live...

can't believe how many people are saying that madness killed it and illmac was "too basic". If by "too basic" you mean that he didnt follow the same "set up set up punchline" formula that we see in virtually EVERY OTHER grindtime battle, then you're right. Illmac's first round was one of the funniest i've ever seen on grindtime and this was a heated, close battle. No one took it "easily".

after he puts his hand up, he lets them finish the punchline they're on.

Surprised madness and Diz never battled in these days woulda been a funny one

this is wot im tawkin about....

Madness 3-0 or 2-1

nice battle, i give it to madness...wanted to hear the last few bars from ill though...

Illmac is too raw!

u don't know how much time he had left when he put his hand up

This was in response to "The Realist" btw.

Honestly, I have always thought Madness was dope. He actually gave Iron Solomon a good battle.

Madness Rockin the Warriors Shirt Thats Dope

Anyone else catch Madness call Illmac Desperaux in his first verse? That "there isn't no other half" line was fucking craaaaazy.

7:05 nobody noticed this but Madness farted and a few seconds later a chick says “forreal? Madness, forreal?” Lmao

@James9533 Hell yeah! That was dope. Haha.

That you need to buy a lot of bacon and cases of bullets before you decide to head out.

What's there not to know about it?

Shout outs to Oregon Trail.

either illmac saw the future or the director of "The Watch" saw this battle. @6:07 & the Neighborhood watch logo haha

yeah, he was written in all the verses with Diz, and here he free'd the last round I think.

We need Diz vs Nocan

Btw, if u compare the speed he raps in here, and the speed in the battle on Diz. You can tell there was a lot of freeing here.

ill got it... real talk.

madness killed it. hands down no question.

thats tight that illmac didnt go the easy route with fat jokes
