Appreciate all the love. Shouts Soul for a great clash, I expected nothing less. Shouts Premier Battles for a great event, look forward t getting back out there 2019 🙏

Yo this crowd is so lit they even try join in on bars they haven’t heard yet.

criminally underviewed battle - a clash of two amazings mc's at their best, illmac 2-1

"This'll feel like a mech hit you. Get crippled, neck brittle, chest riddled with holes when the wind blows it'll sound like a ref's whistle. Just ripped you, he said I cant hold a candle to 'em... till I show up at Jed's vigil." Prolly the best bars I've heard in a long time. Not just the literally bars but the cadence and the way he goes from smiling/laughing to straight face on "till I show up at jeds vigil" just killer performance all around.

Nothing is more depressing than knowing this only has 120k views, GOAT shit

It's so rare that a highly anticipated battle between two legends actually turns out better than people could have hoped for. So refreshing that both battlers (and the crowd) made this such a classic.

I live for that pissed face Soul makes when reaction comes before his punchline.

This is the sort of battle where you want unlimited rounds, soooo good

In the words of Illmac on every damn episode of Watch, "Fire. Fire. Fire."

Gotta give this to Illmac "I forgot one plane, you forg... -slam- LIFE IN PRISON!"

Jesus Christ this was even better than I was expecting. Two legends at their best 🔥🔥🔥

Once you hear bagnall, you can’t unhear him

I got it 3-0 to battle rap

As a proud Scotsman I pains me to say soul got beat but that’s exactly what happened here , IMO it was close but illmac went back in time for this battle and had a different energy and pen game like yesteryear year and I’m glad he did because legends never die and should be appreciated, this battle is criminally under viewed and rated

Every time I watch this I change my mind on who won. So fuckin fire

This battle is so re-watchable, all 3 rounds from each which is pretty rare. I wanna see how soul would come at Rone yo. Also def shout out to the crowd, shit gets me hype asf even tho i know what bars are comin.

yo the crowd is probably one of the best ive seen ever. The way they welcomed both rappers.

Wow. The views on this are unreal. People are missing out on a massive CLASSIC.

No one else in the U.K could have faced illmac at that level without getting bodied

"I am who I am, you are who you hang around with" That's so cold... Every time I hear it...

I've been a battle rap fan since the smack dvds. In the last three years I've almost completely lost interest in it due to how boring and mediocre it's gotten. This battle is refreshing and highly entertaining. Too close to call for me, huge win for fans of battle rap

How is anyone supposed to decide a winner when the quality is this good? Incredible. 👏👏👏👏

“I pull the shank out start poking his kidney, when I hold it against him, don’t hold it against me, he gotta live in my shadow, winter solstice can miss me, just cuz son(sun) is obscure don’t mean soul will eclipse (solar eclipse) me” 🔥🔥🔥 MAC 30 wouldn’t be mad if you have it 2-1.. battle of the year

One of the best battles I've seen in a long time. The bars, the delivery, the crowd everything was fire.

Man, 5th or 6th watch and Soul is getting better every watch. Still a classic. So fucking 🔥

And still the most slept on battle of all time, smdh. Still great job premier for giving the heads what they all wanted and soul and mac gave us some shit that'll never die, massive respect.

I’ve been searching KZfaq everyday for this battle. Was worth the wait

I'm from the states and this is the best battle that stopped in the past week

This is a true throwback battle. So hard to call, my gut says 2-1 Mac.

I have Illmac 2-1. Soul's rhyme schemes were crazy and the 2nd round was super close but Illmac's rebuttals and personals hit harder for me. Great battle overall 🔥

Wow this was even better than I thought it was gonna be. Def battle of the year contender for me personally!! Shout out to illmac and soul. See y’all on watch!!

One of the best battles I've ever seen.

brilliant battle - best of the year so far

shout out to premier battles for making this battle happen it was pure fire !

This battle has EVERYTHING a a battle should. One of them ones that not only lived up to the hype, but aged like wine. So re-watchable, and gives me that same feeling all these years later. Salute to both MC’s Too close to call. Fans won!

Excellent clash, keep it up premier battles. Love this league.

Damn this crowd is perfect. Adds so much to the battle.

Battle of the year contender. Endless replay value. Crowd was so lit!

Still one of the most intricate battles I've ever seen, both had crazy angles! Jheez. 🔥

Finally! Been waiting on this one

It's crazy how after 14:32 you can see Illmac working out his rebuttal for the foundation bar.

Nice to see good battles again. This was 🔥! The fans win!!!

This was a very dope battle. Probably the best from Premier Battles

Can't believe I'm finally sitting down to watch illmac and soul. So hyped for this. Big shout to all involved

Super fire! As expected.

Are you kidding me people this should easily be 100,000 likes ,two monsters

They both killed it, i just prefer macs material more. 2-1 either way doe

Two of the greatest pens of all time

Best battle I've seen in awhile! Damn.

As a battle rap wife(Sk4ms). I wish we went to this event but this is still one of the best battles ive ever seen. Souls amazing.👌 Thanks Premier Battles. And for always making us feel welcome.(Briggzy) Linzi.💖

Shoutout Premier for releasing this!!

Good to see Mac back on the stage!!! flowin'like the old days! Great Battle!!!

Mad Shotty just discovered Oasis.

This was such a good battle, Classic

This new KOTD is fire, lovin it! Peace and one love

This a dope battle. Deserves more views

The 2nd round is one of the very rare times a comedy angle matches and perhaps beats quantity.

This was really a great battle ddnt expect it to be this great but good job guys

illmac won but souls 3rd was FIRE!! "See that's an old style that you do, and they'd go wild when you use it in '09, but it's losin' it's old shine, now it's useless, it won't fly, he's just cruisin this whole time been reduced from a gold mine that was boomin, to bone dryin' in ruins. Now you scrapin out the barrel but won't find a solution and don't try, cause his hubris is so bright it's consumed him. I'm cosigning the blueprint but don't like how you use it: to coast right through the movement with no sign of improvement" !!!!

That was a great fucking battle. Awesome crowd, and great performances by both!

such a fuckin underated battle. Illmac always reminds me why he's my favorite every couple years

Easily battle of the year, big up PB

"you know what rhymes with Jed Mitchel? - Sex symbol" lmaaaaaaaao bro, battle over

Absolute classic, two of the best in the world!

Illmac got the first 2 rounds.... maybe even the 3rd. He was right... this might be the best he's ever been Salute to Soul tho. His 3rd was fire

Illmac is absolutely sick. Incredible bars. Pure genius. So glad to see him battling again! Cheers from Western Australia!

Crazy battle!!! Illmac & Soul both had incredible performances!

Battle of the year forsure!!!🔥🔥🔥

Illmac has to be top 3 pens in battle rap, and probably #1 on beat.

This is a fucking great battle. I love the dude looking like someone's dad who got caught at the front of the crowd and is just thoroughly enjoying himself (on illmac's side)

Wow, this battle is just super fun and really good actually

Absolute classic. One of the best battles of all time. Could really go either way but I think I’ve got it to one soul he got the second and third to me but I wouldn’t be mad honestly feel like you could swap some of those out and give different rounds to either depending on when you listen. Two of the best ever

Battle rap at it's very best. Pure brilliance, huge kudos to both MCs

I thought the first 2 rounds went to 'Mac, the last went to Soul. You could even feel the UK fans wanted Soul to really get going, after ILL's 2nd round, going into Soul's 3rd (and he more then got going in the 3rd). 2-1 IllMac but deff a great battle. IllMac had clean writing, clean performance, rebuttal all 3 rounds, and unique angles (like the air traffic controller bit).

This is the best battle of 2018, hands down.

Kind of okay with people saying Soul 2-1, cause the 2nd was closer than the rest, and Soul's 3rd was magical. But I have to go with Mac 2-1. Both vets, but Mac has been around over 12 years and you see it. is in his pocket, feeling hella comfortable in what he spits. He had angles, wordplay, jokes, multis, freestyle, charisma (some of which he only dabbles in, see his battles vs: Deems, DNA, etc.) Under the radar, he's arguably beat some killers since he lost the chain (Iron, JC). I think Soul has better wordplay and multis, but he still, at times, feels uncomfortable with his material (with the same style, almost 6 years in).

Good Lawd! What a great battle. The scheme about Souls choke was insane. Illmac edges this

Very close and entertaining from both sides. I got to give it to Soul 2-1 for my own lyrical preference I guess, not mad either way, loved both

Fuckkkkk this was fire from BOTH of them man. Bring back Illmac next year too tbh

i feel like soul mightve won rounds 2 and 3. this is a crazy fire battle with two amazing performances. illmac is clearly a GOAT and soul is ridiculous.

The cameraman water spitting noise is a shame!

One of the best battles I've seen in awhile, as expected. Soul brought 3 A-game rounds and still got 30'd. Illmac wild. Salute to both.

One of the greatest illmac performances

Illmac was so good in this battle 🔥🔥🔥 soul 3rd was absolutely amazing... but I got Illmac wining just more consistent

I haven't watched a battle in years. This is by far one of the best battle I've ever seen. Both rappers came super fuckin' hard. The styles are so different i cant pick a winner and I feel sorry for the judges. But honestly the best part is the fact that the crowd was so supportive of both sides. They chanted ILLMAC and qouted Souls bars at the introductions. And then without hesitation cheered on both emcees when they had clean bars. The UK battle scene is the best

Best battle ive seen in a long time. Classic dont know who won but it was great to watch two wordsmiths

Super dope battle.

If the 3 key components to a rap battle being enjoyable in the building and also rewatchable after the event, are the 2 battlers and the crowd... this may just be the best battle ever filmed.

This badly needs more views

Great battle. Great crowd. Well done.

Wish they had more battles like this

Im a huge soul fan from the uk, and he brought it here as always, but for me mac edged it and that air traffic controller scheme was one of the best and most relevant pieces ive seen. Great battle and think they both brought out the best in each other here. Criminally underviewed.

This is one of the first battles I've genuinely enjoyed since GrindTime.

Such a good year for battle rap

Unbelievable battle, Soul seemed unbeatable every round, and then Mac left the universe. Maybe the third is close...

Illmac when he’s on is one of the best writers in rap period

I like grudgematches. I love battles like this where theres more respect n just overwhelming quality n skill on both sides. Dayum what a battle

Amazing battle

That was sick; edge it to Illmac but shouts to Soul for being one of few British rappers that keeps going strong

This is how you get even more fans. And that goes for both of them
