It goes without saying that it's MUCH HARDER to freestyle with swag the way Nocan does...the same could be said for Hollow. Those cats are cut from a different cloth. And like I said, any idiot can write some clever bars if given enough time. Nocan put himself at a serious disadvantage by not writing more shit. It was like coming in with a knife to a gun fight. Props to him though because some of his frees were better than Sonny's writtens.
I don't know why Sonny is not making his battles count on the record. I think he's one of the most underrated. His shit is well written. I don't think i've seen him lose a battle yet
Sonny looks to the crowd and grins...and Nocando Says ..."Oh... gotta laugh but dont look to the right though. Im a Psycho. You look like a midget in a circus sideshow." That shit was incredible.
Sonny Bamboo was super killing out there...NoCanDo...can't hate on his performance, dude's live... I was actually feeling both so to me, this was about in the end who had more.. I'll go with Sonny Bamboo for the W. The air mattress blowing line was a great way to close out. Nocando didn't have that kind of power bar to finish off..but his freestyle is tough..the korean girl body frame line was insane...this was close..real close..
Sonny Bam is just crazy fucking SUPER nice. He's got flow, and BARS for days. PLEASE GET HIM IN MORE BATTLES! He went in on Johnny Storm too. This guys the truth.
huh, i didn't even know that battles allow written shit now... i usually never watch battles. but i definitely remember it used to HAVE to be off the top..
@outlawstarr417 you realize King of the Dot, URL/Smack, Don't Flop, and any other major battle league out there are all written leagues as well, right?
Nocan is not gonna give a fuck about anyone because he's not here to do that. He will bring as much energy as the crowd and his opponent give him, not the technicality. Sonny Bamboo came well prepared, awesome! Sonny won because he delivered well! Great job on both ends and I appreciate Drect for uploading this amazing battle, keep the quality up and fuck the filler...please....
Good Battle! After watching this several times, especially Nocando's parts, he didn't do bad at all. He could've have written & mixed in his freestyles and come harder, but nonetheless he performed good especially for freestyling the whole match. Nocando is Nocando, & his style is what makes him great. Sonny Bamboo was str8 fire the whole match, & deserved the win. Props 2 both MCs!
immortal technique's explanation at the end was spot on. nocando didn't care cause he's a vet and already did the touring, sonny bamboo just wanted it more.
sonny's second round is the greatest, most hard hitting, valid, contemplative, specific piece of hip hop i've heard in this last century. i think this, along with maniphest destne's performance at Grizzle2, really proves hip hop lives in the midwest. i think maniphest and sonny need to begin writing half decent music cause battling is beneath them at this point
I was waiting for this damn thing for a long time. I love watching NoCanDo battle, freestyle or not, but it seemed like he just didn't have the energy or preparation this time. The other hand, I have to say, I've only watched one or two Sonny Bamboo battles on GT but you can see he wants it bad. Makes me want to look up the other Sonny Bamboo battles.
I fuck with NoCan, but damn this was the best I've seen from Sonny. No contest, all three rounds went Sonny's way. He never really made an impression on me until this battle. That said, it's always a tough call when freestyle vs. writtens happens. Hard to judge because the styles are so different.
Yeah i agree with you, i was the same came to battle for NoCan, but Sonny won, but you gotta give respect to Nocando, you can tell all of his material was pure freestyle.
1. IF YOU THINK SONNY BAM'S MUSIC SUX, LISTEN TO LEPRACHAUN DON ALL THE WAY THROUGH. DUDE IS SICK. LYRICALLY, RAPID FIRE DELIVERY, REALNESS, HONESTY. SOME OF THE BEST IVE HEARD RECENTLY. 2. THIS IS A WRITTEN BATTLE LEAGUE. NOCAN WASN'T JUST BEAT, HE WAS BAGGED. 3. PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT "BITING" MEANS. WHEN A BATTLER TWEEKS OR ENHANCES A LINE THAT IS EITHER FAMOUS OR SITUATIONALLY RELEVANT, THAT'S NOT BITING. NOTHING SNEAKY HERE. IT'S RONE'S LINE AND HE WAS IN SONNY'S CORNER.
I dont wanna give my opinion on this cuz every battle rap nerd is doing it anyways i just hope drect, immortal tech, poison pen, sonny bamboo and Nocando know that this was a GREAT BATTLE. MAD RESPECT TO EVERYONE THAT TOOK PART IN THIS! Grind Time or DIEEEE!
Meh...wish this was better (awkward battle). I wanna see a mandatory freestyle GT battle event once a year. I'd like a 1 day vacation from the same old stale approaches to writtens. IDK the writtens are cool, but I would like to genuinely say "This guy bodied" without second guessing. Any suggestions for freestylers In GT to check out?
@NZDER0 sonny vs real deal can only happen in the finals (that's wat I think its guna be tho). The next round is Real Deal vs NessLee ...and...Aclass vs Sonny Bam. I've known that for a while but couldn't say shit til this battle came out
On a serious note though Nocan is a battle rap genius. He should collab with Immortal.
The fact that NoCan can keep it so close with frees says A LOT...
name of immortall s song?
This is only the 2nd time Ive ever seen a grindtime battle that Nocan lost definatively. Its crazy. Sonny Bam is a beast.
17:45 HHAHAHAHA ok Nocan wins with that one free, that was literally the funniest thing I've heard in a while.
It goes without saying that it's MUCH HARDER to freestyle with swag the way Nocan does...the same could be said for Hollow. Those cats are cut from a different cloth.

whats the title of the first song by bamboo?i hope its on itunes
more of these kind of battles please. thank you
Correct me if i'm wrong, i heard Sonny's Tiger Swipe line, i remember that bar from Hollow Da Don when he battled Passwurds right?
ONE OF THE BEST BATTLES IVE SEEN ALL YEAR
whats the jhonny bamboo song called in the begining ?
Whats that immortal technique song playing during the intro?
Whoa what song is that Nocando song? I need that now!
How is Nocan 's record 2 - 0 I have seen alot of his battles over the years...
Is there a page of ALL of grind time mc's win lose standings.
Sonny looks to the crowd and grins...and Nocando Says ..."Oh... gotta laugh but dont look to the right though. Im a Psycho. You look like a midget in a circus sideshow." That shit was incredible.
song name at the start of the video?
Anybody know the name of the song playing in the beginning ?? By sonny bamboo
240p? Do I gotta wait?
ill battle, are there anymore maniphest destne battles to be uploaded?
Nocando got 30'd!
Whats Immortal Techniques intro song? Was sayin alot of truth in that..
That's how dope NoCanDo is he decides when his round is over haha Sonny is a monster and I feel sorry for his next oppenent
Whats Nocan's introsong?
nocan is dope, but woooo sonny bamboo went innnnnnnnn
Oh hi there
Is that Piff James in the background? 20:07?
@techniqueeminem if he didn't write what was no can looking at his berry for?
what song starts at 2:50?
Nocan ALL DAY ERRR DAY
@0thatdudewill0 Nocan did write a bit. the personals were written like the first minute ever round then he switched to frees after
So is this the last battle Nocan has ever done? I know he doesn't battle anymore, so I was looking to see what his very last time battling was.
I can't stop reapeating 14:33
Ima put that as my alarm clock.
@Hallonbergen17454 Yeah but I can't find it on UA-cam!
Sonny Bamboo was super killing out there...NoCanDo...can't hate on his performance, dude's live... I was actually feeling both so to me, this was about in the end who had more.. I'll go with Sonny Bamboo for the W. The air mattress blowing line was a great way to close out. Nocando didn't have that kind of power bar to finish off..but his freestyle is tough..the korean girl body frame line was insane...this was close..real close..
Whats the song at 3:15??? That song is TOUGH!!!!
this is one of my favorite battles of the year, hands down.
14:29 best part of the battle.
There needs to be more battles like this!!! IDGAF who won
14:29 - 14:33 Quite possibly the best 4 seconds of GrindTime in the past quarter!
who does nocan have a loss against?
Sonny Bam is just crazy fucking SUPER nice. He's got flow, and BARS for days. PLEASE GET HIM IN MORE BATTLES! He went in on Johnny Storm too. This guys the truth.
huh, i didn't even know that battles allow written shit now... i usually never watch battles. but i definitely remember it used to HAVE to be off the top..

wtf does NoCan say at 18:49 ?
what does he mean by the alchemist?
GREAT BATTLE, one of the best!!! Both BEASTED!
welcome back nocando, been a while since we've seen you on GT
Good Battle! After watching this several times, especially Nocando's parts, he didn't do bad at all. He could've have written & mixed in his freestyles and come harder, but nonetheless he performed good especially for freestyling the whole match. Nocando is Nocando, & his style is what makes him great. Sonny Bamboo was str8 fire the whole match, & deserved the win. Props 2 both MCs!
i still find it so amazing how they can talk this much shit to eachother and still do a handshake
off topic but why does brigante always say "put the fucking mirror down" like its his last words on earth, and what does that mean?
Sonny Bamboo Deserved the win. I hope he does more battles soon, he is one of the best.
zahvaljujem brate :)
Nocando won this by far! His free style is dangerous as fuck! Taking nothing of Sonny, though Nocando is ill!
@nit2winit11 @Strikeb4ck yeah, Sonny played the "white thing" scheme off of Rone's battle w/ Caustic
man,one written round is all nocan needs
That Middle Passage line was sick. If Nocan wrote just one single round he wouldve taken this, no question.
immortal technique's explanation at the end was spot on. nocando didn't care cause he's a vet and already did the touring, sonny bamboo just wanted it more.
If you've never heard that El-P instrumental it's dope as fuck! Also that SB track played at the start sounds sick
23:14 who is that
@ultranattt One of GT"s best? This is the first Bamboo battle i've been aware of lol.
Nocan got bodied hard core with jokes, personals, you name it...Sonny was focused, pure destruction.
@poptrunk06 are you saying nocando isn't top tier? he is a beast
i respect excellent freestyling over writtens any day.its no easy task to pull it off at the level nocan does.he's incredible.
bamboo did his thing.
sonny's second round is the greatest, most hard hitting, valid, contemplative, specific piece of hip hop i've heard in this last century. i think this, along with maniphest destne's performance at Grizzle2, really proves hip hop lives in the midwest. i think maniphest and sonny need to begin writing half decent music cause battling is beneath them at this point
nocando is a legend freestyler all i can say
I was waiting for this damn thing for a long time. I love watching NoCanDo battle, freestyle or not, but it seemed like he just didn't have the energy or preparation this time. The other hand, I have to say, I've only watched one or two Sonny Bamboo battles on GT but you can see he wants it bad. Makes me want to look up the other Sonny Bamboo battles.
@AdrianMartinNuSteez Hellfyre Club not High Power Club.. How are people getting what he said wrong? HIS SHIRT SAYS IT.
I fuck with NoCan, but damn this was the best I've seen from Sonny. No contest, all three rounds went Sonny's way. He never really made an impression on me until this battle.
That said, it's always a tough call when freestyle vs. writtens happens. Hard to judge because the styles are so different.
Nocans freestyle ability is fucking crazy.... and he still held his own going against Sonnys writtens
These were great battles I miss prime grindtime
@Jscrila24 then I really hope they both get to the finals, because after seeing this battle I'm convinced that'd be the best possible final battle
man. i know sonny wasn't saying anything bad specifically about juice but that first record is a classic
if nocan was just freestyling wtf was he using his phone for?
ive beenn waiting for a good nocan battle
I wonder if the 4 emcees that loss agreed to the 1500 battle put up by tech.
Yeah i agree with you, i was the same came to battle for NoCan, but Sonny won, but you gotta give respect to Nocando, you can tell all of his material was pure freestyle.
Nocan killed em straight off the top
Sonny is monstrous. At THAT level I'd love to see Sonny vs. Khan. Sonny brought it haaaaaaaaaard
@poptrunk06
Yeah like KOTD and when there's a high quality tryout battle they post it on the main one.
@logic247365 ...was that Bender
this shit is almost half an hour..damnn gonna smoke a bowl and watch :DDD
But its about a freestyle a freestyle is the top of the dom not writen
Sonny had me swayed with his "air mattress explodes" shit. Dude is one of the best writers in the world period. On a good day he could beat anybody.
Sony got this one. I'm surprised, that's the best I have ever heard him sound in a battle.
1. IF YOU THINK SONNY BAM'S MUSIC SUX, LISTEN TO LEPRACHAUN DON ALL THE WAY THROUGH. DUDE IS SICK. LYRICALLY, RAPID FIRE DELIVERY, REALNESS, HONESTY. SOME OF THE BEST IVE HEARD RECENTLY.
2. THIS IS A WRITTEN BATTLE LEAGUE. NOCAN WASN'T JUST BEAT, HE WAS BAGGED.
3. PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT "BITING" MEANS. WHEN A BATTLER TWEEKS OR ENHANCES A LINE THAT IS EITHER FAMOUS OR SITUATIONALLY RELEVANT, THAT'S NOT BITING. NOTHING SNEAKY HERE. IT'S RONE'S LINE AND HE WAS IN SONNY'S CORNER.
People are hating on him because it was supposed to be a freestyle battle, and Sonny came through with a written
why doesnt sonny battle more? grind time is turning into boxing. no good matchups anymore.
nocando is so NIIIICE at freestyling daaaamn!!!!
Sonny Bamboo bodybagged it.
Real Deal vs Sonny Bamboo please.
After seein Nocan vs. dizaster, one of the best battles out, I had some hopes for this. sh*t was a major let down. RIP nocando
a-class vs sonny is gonna be crazy..two hungry rappers.
too bad that footage will come out probably in November...
@OfficiallyMOB right, i left that out because he had so much freestyle
Holy fucking bodybag. Didn't see that coming. I figured that it would be a pretty even battle but that wasn't even close.
I dont wanna give my opinion on this cuz every battle rap nerd is doing it anyways i just hope drect, immortal tech, poison pen, sonny bamboo and Nocando know that this was a GREAT BATTLE. MAD RESPECT TO EVERYONE THAT TOOK PART IN THIS! Grind Time or DIEEEE!
Meh...wish this was better (awkward battle). I wanna see a mandatory freestyle GT battle event once a year. I'd like a 1 day vacation from the same old stale approaches to writtens. IDK the writtens are cool, but I would like to genuinely say "This guy bodied" without second guessing. Any suggestions for freestylers In GT to check out?
see Rone behind Sonny, damn old times
did nocando just pull a drake and look at his bars before his round started?
great battle. and i fucking cracked up when poison pen went ham at the end
@NZDER0 sonny vs real deal can only happen in the finals (that's wat I think its guna be tho). The next round is Real Deal vs NessLee ...and...Aclass vs Sonny Bam. I've known that for a while but couldn't say shit til this battle came out
