man i miss these grind time days... now days the movement is so divided... everything is so serious and u cant even enjoy a battle anymore because personal beef and that top tier bullshit... these days anyone could battle anyone... now everyone wants a big ass pay day just to take battles, an thats screwed the game up.
Danijel Butkovic agreed both snapped on that battle had rebuttals bars and everything a battle should have... nowadays only catch one here n there... these were the days... im almost bored now with most of the big names cause they dont show up to battle ...dna always does of course an so does rone why I respect them cause theyll battle anyone.
I know it's not super complex or anything but Rone's final bar of round 2 " You try to punch my mic around but my mic punches back" is one of my favorite endings to a round . Simple but hard hitting and effective
''If its beef then my dudes gon spark, just cuz you like Mr. Boston dont mean your gon win New York's heart'' line had me DYING!...especially with DNA's expressions and movements, look at PH when he said ''Mr. Boston'' LMAO!!!
You can see the love of spitting in DNA in this one for real, shit gave me chills, props to both emcees n keepin real hip-hop alive! Color is irrelevant in music, keep that in mind people.
They went crazy over a your mom joke and a dude that said, "as far as my toof if you ain't gonna replace it don't say shit." Like that was the greatest shit ever....
I can't believe this is my first time watching this battle, this is a classic! DNA got it 3-0 in my opinion, but Rone held his own. Great fucking battle
***** Rone DID take this. Anyone who thinks otherwise is going just off of crowd reaction. If you compare, bar for bar, its clear that Rone is a superior writer.
jaekn that's your opinion & you are a biased fanboy. majority consensus was DNA clearly won. bar for bar?? YOU relate to Rone's nerd bars more. it's subjective. there is no "bar for bar comparison" for two rappers who got so distinctly different styles. not to mention battle rap includes things like crowd control, performance etc...cause if it was only raps then could just battle in wax.
sdg 14 your whole comment was a huge contradiction, you said it right the first time it's just his opinion it doesn't mean he's a biased fan boy at all, you saying that nerd bars shit sounds like you're the bias fanboy and it sounds like your mad just cause you're too dumb to understand his bars lol DNA clearly won in my opinion but everyone has their own opinions. Doesn't change the crowd was riding DNA way harder but thats just home turf advantage.
why did the crowd blow up over DNA's "college tuition" bar? Shit was okay, but all that hype? The set up didnt even connect with the punch; You're not the hottest with spitting cuz if dad knew you were at grind time he wouldnt pay your tuition... "if you ain't going to replace it, don't say shit" - Crowd goes wild.. Average line. c In fact, if you listen, all of DNA's set ups are weak and don't connect directly with the punch lines. " You shouldnt be doing this, I control atom I am the nucleus.
Don't think of crowd when judging a battle I'm super unbiased dna is my favourite. He was like 18 here but Imo I want to say tie but my brain says Rd 1 dna Rd 2 3 rone
You think this is mostly subjective? Tard. I can show you objectively good bars, writing, setups and punches and compare them to bad ones. In fact, I already did. DNA's set ups are mostly unrelated. His writing is a different style but gimmicks and delivery don't beat solid bars.
Before I watch this I like 2 say out of all the rap tournaments GrindTime is the only competition that doesn't setup niggaz 2 lose i.e. Serius Jones vs Mook MUCH RESPECT GT
In my honest opinion DNA slaughtered him. I've never seen DNA goes this hard even in that dizaster battle. Don't get me wrong I think Rone's a beast too but I feel Rone highly under estimated DNA Damn
They both did good but DNA has a crew of like 15 people so that is where his crowd reaction comes from. Rone is all by himself and still gets alot of crowd reaction.
You can tell this was DNA's first couple of battles, becuz he doesnt wait for the crowd to go wild, now he knows that they about to go bonkers, and just keeps his mouth shut. On here he tries to spit after he spit a crazy bar.
dna is one of the best out there. dudes sick as shit, humble, doesnt say a word or make a face when the other rapper is rapping and is highly respected....aka A VET!!
"i guess he's got the n-bomb but thats okay because i know about a million words that you cant say" that was so slept on. DNA cant say some words right because of the missing tooth
Rone thing with the " D N A" in the third round was great. Every time he punctuates with his hands, he's using words that are DNA "Doesn't Nail Anyone" "Drops No Ass" "Does Not Apply"...
both my two favorite battlers dna had great 1st and 2nd round and the bomb was crazy. Then rone's third was the best round i ever heard with all the name flips and biting dna's style. All around great battle

This was a classic! People throw that word around but this was forsure a CLASSIC!
R.I.P PH

man i miss these grind time days... now days the movement is so divided... everything is so serious and u cant even enjoy a battle anymore because personal beef and that top tier bullshit... these days anyone could battle anyone... now everyone wants a big ass pay day just to take battles, an thats screwed the game up.
thats it...!last battle i enjoyed was Dizaster vs DNA...(Best ever if you ask me)...Since than everything is different..
Danijel Butkovic agreed both snapped on that battle had rebuttals bars and everything a battle should have... nowadays only catch one here n there... these were the days... im almost bored now with most of the big names cause they dont show up to battle ...dna always does of course an so does rone why I respect them cause theyll battle anyone.
Danijel Butkovic DNA won this 3 - 0 but he lost to Dizaster in my opinion.
I know I'm not the only one who came here from that Dna vid from rap grid

+Teresa Artis He has always been nice, ya'll just be hating
+Ali Najjar haters
+Teresa Artis u can say that again.
Best prop ever still one of those battles that was dope for its time
I know it's not super complex or anything but Rone's final bar of round 2 " You try to punch my mic around but my mic punches back" is one of my favorite endings to a round . Simple but hard hitting and effective
This is one of the most equally talented lyrical rap battles with wordsmiths of completely different styles of wording that I have ever seen.
DNA KILLED THIS !!! He was more than ready for this
''If its beef then my dudes gon spark, just cuz you like Mr. Boston dont mean your gon win New York's heart'' line had me DYING!...especially with DNA's expressions and movements, look at PH when he said ''Mr. Boston'' LMAO!!!
one of the best grindtime battles ever
Rone's rap about the NL is easily my favorite out of any of these grind time battles, absolutely DOPE
You can see the love of spitting in DNA in this one for real, shit gave me chills, props to both emcees n keepin real hip-hop alive! Color is irrelevant in music, keep that in mind people.
NAH IT'S A DRAW...dey both killed it straight up
*****
ok...ben...chode...lol...ok
*****
the fuck are u talking about? lol
This battle is still fire
They went crazy over a your mom joke and a dude that said, "as far as my toof if you ain't gonna replace it don't say shit." Like that was the greatest shit ever....
"I know about a million words that you can't say!"
IQ too cool for em boys...
Oh he wasn’t referencing DNAs lisp?
Haven't seen this in a while.... DNA won.. Rone just didn't have enough every round and DNA bomb shit is classic lol
My favorite Grindtime Battle Ever!!!
Dna won this but rone's national league scheme was dope as fuck
He should've used that against Arsonal. "You can say 1000 jokes. That don't make you a rapper"
Louis Chatmon lol yeah. Thanks for watching. We have Madness vs PH coming out this Friday just to give you a heads up!
Grind Time Now Oh yeah. Good looking out
Louis Chatmon no doubt
Grind Time Now Are you actually affiliated with Grind Time
Louis Chatmon umm.. This is the Grind Time official channel responding to you lol. Yes, This is Grind Time!
That rematch was CRAZY THO!!!!
This battle is still crazy… RIP PH
Damn this is one of my favorite battles, Rone and Dna did they thing
dna still looked the same in 2016 lol damm he was 17 in this video
DNA won, but I really like Rone's cadence. Dope battle.
dude. the moment Rone says "me too" you know this is going be a real matchup.
remember waiting for the battle to Come out. Golden era.
"As far as my tooth, if u aint gonna replace it dont say shit!" hot ass line!
Classic. I remember watching this 5 years ago thinking it was insane. The lines are so basic by todays standards.
This was classic! Both these dudes did their thing🔥💪🏼
This needs more views and likes
dna was better but i also felt the crowd had his back more
Home court advantage is real. Rone brought it tho...
Rewatching this
.i had to see if i was too buzzed..or was the crowd really gassing DNA crazy...
Respect to Rone
9:49 : "You're Crazy, you're crazy bro"
Honestly this is one of the best battles I've seen.. both came hard as f
11 years later, who still watching these flames?
I can't believe this is my first time watching this battle, this is a classic! DNA got it 3-0 in my opinion, but Rone held his own. Great fucking battle
I fell the same way
No way Rone took round 3 hand sdown with that mlb national league team bars but first 2 are debatable either way
@@dannyhilljr518 def rone took round 3 just showing he can do those flips too
Def wasn’t 3-0 dna
Rone took the battle, DNA just had more people, everyone says same shit to Rone lol
Yea this is the DNA tht was cooking he still is but nt like this
You are good! Thank you for explaining it properly for the people that just don't get it.
how has this battle not hit a million views yet?
Still Think Rone Took This
You are crazy...
***** of course you do you a CAC

Nate Moore Crowd reaction always plays into the "judging" though, unfortunately. I think your assessment on who won which rounds is probably right.
sdg 14 Very well constructed argument. Now finish up the 6th grade and come back when you can formulate a supported opinion.
You think this is mostly subjective? Tard. I can show you objectively good bars, writing, setups and punches and compare them to bad ones. In fact, I already did. DNA's set ups are mostly unrelated. His writing is a different style but gimmicks and delivery don't beat solid bars.
sdg 14 Good one. Like I said, stay in school or get to work and get off welfare.
DNA was predicting the future when he said “You should call yourself Lincoln”
this is one of those grind time greatest battles
DNA won PERIOD!
Before I watch this I like 2 say out of all the rap tournaments GrindTime is the only competition that doesn't setup niggaz 2 lose i.e. Serius Jones vs Mook MUCH RESPECT GT
the best battle i ever seen , you dont fuck with these two
Danny Myers vs, Rum Nitty, enjoy.
You know, fans get mad because it looks like they're brawling, but backstage they both respect each other as artists.
Both dudes have got even better! A Rematch in KOTD would be INSANE!
In my honest opinion DNA slaughtered him. I've never seen DNA goes this hard even in that dizaster battle. Don't get me wrong I think Rone's a beast too but I feel Rone highly under estimated DNA Damn
great battle, prob one of the better ones out there, love the styles of these 2 mcs.
this the best grindtime battle of all time
That whole baseball scheme was 🔥🔥🔥
"i'll be taking money out of Carltons bank and i dont care how your uncle Phils" really dat was tough
that national league scheme was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo slept on lol
rone said "u got the n bomb ,but thats ok cuz i know a million other words u cant say" that was sick and super slept on
this is what battle rap is boom
WHY WAS THIS BATTLE SO QUICK🤔🤔 THEY NEED TO DO IT AGAIN I WAS FELLIN IT
i saw this battle first time :) it was very nice.
rones lines were sick giving abreviations for d.n.a at the end.
They both did good but DNA has a crew of like 15 people so that is where his crowd reaction comes from. Rone is all by himself and still gets alot of crowd reaction.
Naw all of those white Boyd behind Rone are with him...dna ppl were just louder
Rap Grid Brought Me Here
Yooooooooooo those Diane Sawyer and Lois Lane lines had me roooollllinng
THATS WHAT I CALL A BATTLE
They are an equal match together they were both awesome!
HE SAID "IF YOU AINT GONNA REPLACE IT, DON'T SAY SHIT"
These battles are EXTREMELY RARE...NONE BIAS CROWDS/VENUES all bars no theatrics great shit
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
John 15 : 7
You can tell this was DNA's first couple of battles, becuz he doesnt wait for the crowd to go wild, now he knows that they about to go bonkers, and just keeps his mouth shut. On here he tries to spit after he spit a crazy bar.
rones 3rd round was the most genious shit ive ever heard. He fuckin named everysingle team in the national league
Short battles like this were the shit
he said "as far as my tooth goes, dont say shit if YOU ain't gonna replace it"
Wicked Battle! + 1 for both!
dude in the black jacket was tellin DNA shit the whole time
these two guyz are the future of battle rap no lie !
This aged well 12 years later
Oh shit! It's majesty in the background!
dat bomb line was too funny lmao
My major is journalism and theatre.....me to!! Funny as hell!!
If we keeping it real, this is still DNAs best performance
Classic battle
Rone sounds like Eminem back in the day
dna is one of the best out there. dudes sick as shit, humble, doesnt say a word or make a face when the other rapper is rapping and is highly respected....aka A VET!!
"i guess he's got the n-bomb but thats okay because i know about a million words that you cant say" that was so slept on. DNA cant say some words right because of the missing tooth
Rone thing with the " D N A" in the third round was great. Every time he punctuates with his hands, he's using words that are DNA "Doesn't Nail Anyone" "Drops No Ass" "Does Not Apply"...
i'm praying theres a rematch for dis rap
They ran it back in 2015. I'd love if they made it a trilogy and did it one more time!
Also, rones baseball scheme is crazy!
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOOKS LIEK THE X-FACTOR BATTLE HURT HIS FEELINGS LMAOOOO
Champion - 8/15/17 - brought me back here for a flashback. *shake my hand*
SICK battle! DNA killed me wif dat bomber move! lol
DNA killed it in this battle...
Two of the sickest MCs in GT! Sick battle! glad i didnt have to judge this one.
"I control everything atom does, I'm the nucleus"
LMFAO science fail XD
both my two favorite battlers dna had great 1st and 2nd round and the bomb was crazy. Then rone's third was the best round i ever heard with all the name flips and biting dna's style. All around great battle
Dissapointed Rone didn't come up wit a rebuttal for that bomb suit lol
His body language and delivery, accounted for most of it.
i love this dude man doa the man
