It isn't fair to say that lyricism is a lost art in battling. While there has been a mainstream transition towards both higher levels of comedy and straightforward aggression in performances, there have consistently been talented wordsmiths raising the bar when it comes to dexterity with a pen occupying the scene. The next release from World Domination 2, one of the most anticipated battles of the year, features two of the finest writers in battling putting themselves to a test of bars over bullshit. Portland's Illmaculate has so many accolades to his name it's barely worth listing them all, while Ottawa's Bender is coming off a recent reign as KOTD Champion after a meteoric rise to the top. Both have something to prove, with Illmac making his solo debut on Canadian soil and Bender seeking to rebound from his first official loss in a KOTD ring. Which of these two caged beasts will show up with the sharper pen game, and emerge with the victory?

Still up there with one of my favourite battles, dont even watch battling anymore but revisit this every now and then. RIP to the GOAT Bender. Legend!
"if you heard mac was working a broad, he had overseas employment"
"they can call you my british mistress when i spread you out in a second flat"
2 sick lines from Bender
One of the best battles ever. Rest in peace Bender. Never had a huge platform but he just had that creative mind you only see once in your life
I rewatch this video like once a week :S
How about these days :P ?
Even the intro?
Even the ads?
Even the outro?
RIP Bender, just had to watch this one again in your memory.
Blessings

RIP Bender. Most underrated battle rapper of all time.
Bender looked like Tom Segura.
How did he pass?
Couldn’t agree more.
You're not lying.
Dude, how was he underrated?!? GTFO.
As time goes on Bender’s genius is slowly revealed. It’s unbelievable really.
Dude of being fat and he’s making fun of a short dude yet you’re calling him ‘genius’? 🤦♂️
you guys say the same thing about Pat
Rip bender!
Man is a legend
How he pass away?
How he pass away?
@@iggy471131 bruh
Was it a heart attack? Diabetes related? I hope so!
This is like the seventh time i watched this, still as dope as the first time
same man, this is my favourite battle, between my two favourite battle rappers
Ive seen this way more than 7 times since it's came out lol
imo, i think a large majority of illlmaculates battles have so much replay value, the schemes he creates and content within it.
He sucks
@@optimaprime8970 so does your mom but I ain't complaining
@@godsendthegeneral2255 pretty creative considering you're a farm experiment. Now give the phone back to your care giver and get back to your crayons
@@optimaprime8970 👏👏👏
Illmac is the Fuqn G.O.A.T. ! ! ! ! Years later I still come back to it
This battle should have millions of views
Favorite battle of all time right here. illmaculate in his prime i swear He's Unbeatable
Mac vs stay would be dope mac my favorite battler that would be a dope battle
Largen incharge .......world domination 5.
More like the start of IllMacs Prime. To be quite honest, he's still peaking!
Idk many kats in battle rap that's a better writer.
24/7 is another kat that has ridiculous Album game
@@largenincharge4688what did you think of it
This is a straight up IllMac masterclass......Bender is/was one of my favorite battlers (RIP) but Illmac just had everything in this battle which is why I still rewatch it year after year.
Organik look like a Russian grasshopper
Haha good one!
got that Bug's Life steez
Lmaoooo
another facet that makes this battle a classic is the fact that neither MC completely choked/stumbled , forgot any significant amount of material, or lost to themselves in anyway. they both came correct. and the fact that there is a decisive, agreed victor is yet another thing i love about this battle. there's no huge controversy, or "what if's". clean, solid, respected battle. this is hip-hop entertainment at its finest.
HOW IS THIS NOT 1 MILLION VIEWS!
Here before 500k. R.I.P Bender this better break a mil!
Six years later and still not at 500k. Crazy
@@BabeyRobinsAfter 2020 if you’re not wrapping constant gun bars you’re not hitting 1M views. Corny
Still one of my favorite battle's of all time
RIP Mr. Multi. You brought an entire new audience to battle rap! Thanks for the Memories Bender.........
Illmac's 3rd and Loaded Lux vs Calico...
I can play those forever and still get hype
Crazy you said that because im on a lux & illmac binge. super talented dudes.
@@niggaswatchmeinalot.5247 They need to battle
The Maury Talk Show - Hattori Honzo line is one of the best he's ever spit
That segment is timeless
_"Listen!"_
Tippin' that 40 bottle. RIP
Not too many battles have this type of replay value! This is right there with Pat Stay/Hollohan or Bender vs Arcane, Conceited/Arsonal or E ness/Solomon.
In a word: CLASSIC
Right off the bat: "They can call you my British mistress when I spread you out in a second flat." Levels.
Years later and that Hattori Hanzo still flames. Illmac v Rone can't get here fast enough.
Illmacs 3rd is absolutely insane
Yes it is
His 2nd was even better
He lost
@@emgee7 Illmac lost? Were you watching a different battle? First round is debatable, Illmac smoked rounds 2 and 3.
Rip Bender, under-appreciated goat, but we ain’t about to play revisionist history. Illmac CLEARLY took this.
@@emgee7 it was judged lol
The Hattori Hanzo line is chilling. It etched on the inside of my skull, and I was mumbling it to myself an hour later whilst doing the dishes.
I wish all battles were like this. Both Bender and Illmac delivered masterful lyrics and wordplay of a pristine degree. I'd give it to Illmac though, his second and third was insane.
One of my favourite KOTD events. One of my favourite battle events honestly.
I don’t understand how this battle didn’t reach 1M yet!!
For sure man, the quality of this battle is through the roof
bender had possibly the best pen game of any battle rapper, rest in peace G
Illmac vs big k is ahead of this one in kotds top 5. Illmac is one of the greatest.
Bigg K bodied Illmac though
Bodied? Nah, illmac had one of the best 3rd rounds in history in that battle.
Brandon Bridges Oh really, that rewind shit got you wet, huh? Body or not, Bigg K definately won that one, so I still don't understand why you'd mention that battle and claim that Illmac is the greatest..
I said one of the greatest, and not the rewind the whole 3rd was an alternate reality perceived in big ks dream. But its w\e , its all preference. Knowledge > swag
Brandon Bridges Aye, you did say one of the greatest, I stand corrected. However, that remark didn't alter my point at all; I still dunno why you'd mention that battle and claim that Illmac is *one of* the greatest. It'd make more sense to name a battle where he actually won.
I know, that round probably sounded great in front of the mirror but in *reality* it was just one angle and one weak punchline.
Knowledge > swag?
Good battle. Illmaculate's performance is just that
this battle deserves more attention, this is absolutely my favorite rap battle both these guys killed it, they spit some real shit
This is definitely one of my favorite battles. All love between them and both their bars were insane.
Lol at the blonde chick 16:37
Stop being on every battle rap video Welyn and go play rust.
"Think about it"... Yeah Illmac got this one. When he is on point he is really one of the best. But he does have a habit of choking against the best. Still though his writing ability is matched by very very few.
where are all these battles where he chokes?
***** Yeah in hindsight I probably overstated it. I've noticed in battles where the crowd isn't really on his side that he'll occasionally slip up or stutter a little bit, but that's hardly a choke. To be fair I was drunk when I posted that so I feel like I get a pass.
***** @AndyWard Illmac vs Arsenal. He is wasted and chokes something terrible in the 3rd round. He still a beast.
Young Carter I would feel wrong if I didn't mention that Illmaculate was completely wasted in that battle. Arsonal backed out of the battle day of, so Illmac decided to drink all night and watch the battles. When Illmac was almost blackout drunk, Arsonal decided he wanted to battle again. That's why it went down after Diz vs Canibus.
Oh, and "choking against the best", Arsonal is poo and an actor. So he just choked against some battle rapper.
Mac left EARTH in the third 🔥🔥🔥
"No wonder pedophiles get a sweaty mouth when they see you" is still fire
RIP Bender but this is Illmac's best performance since the WRCs for me. Those last 2 rounds were insane, pure poetry in parts as well
Such a shame that Bender is gone… I wish it wasn’t true. Respect to legend 🙏
"They can call you my British mistress when I spread you out in a second flat"- Bender. That has to be one of the dopest lines I've heard in any battle period.
Rest in Peace Bender
this FINALLY got 300k but it deserves way more, this battle is the definition of quality lyricism and flow and is in my top 5 favorite battles, respect.
I like how cinematic all these old KOTD battles were. Vendetta, Blackout 2 all look crazy.
Anyone thinking Bender sucks needs to watch his second round against Arcane
i still think this was illmac best performance...til bigg k
Yea man Illmacs 3rd vs Bigg K was super meta.
Bigg K is a BEAST!!
I've been following his career since the first battle..
Donovan German this was dope by ILL but what he did to Iron was a body thou haha
Astute
He lost both
Bender's 2nd verse is one of the best I've heard in battle rap. Jesus Christ.
Bender's 2nd vs Miracle is better
Ruthless... I give props to Miracle for even being able to spit his next round
That was a 2nd round knock out
speciesofpositive that was dope, but the end bar for ILLZ 2rd with that degree was sick AF
This is quite honestly my favourite kotd battle. I always come back and watch this
This was such a great battle, man. Lyricism on both sides, great schemes, and the fact that they were having fun while doing it and paying each other respect, this is really how it should be like all the time. Top quality battle.
I've probably seen this shit around 10-15 times since it's been uploaded and it never gets old.I skip through benders rounds only because if I wanted to see a good performance from him I'd go watch him vs syd vicious.
Bender had some dope punchlines in this I love both ends of this battle
ya man, Bender seems flat in this battle... he has some haymakers and agression and his multi's... but nothing really awesome... maybe it just because Illmac's material was hitting so hard.
his round 1 is mediocre
D Castro He had a good performance v Arcane. His first round against Soul in WD5 was dope.
ILLMACULATE got the best 3rd rounds!!
2018 thia dont get old
This battle has great replay value. Definitely a classic clash, absolute madness.
Wow! Solid battle between two worthy opponents. Loved both of them and was happy to hear these clever bars.
i watch this for the reactions during illmacs rounds
Rip Bender
Classic!! look how young everybody was LOL
illmac put on possibly the greatest battle rap performance of all time here. fucking amazing.
Illmaculates 2nd round was INSANE!
Illmac should battle Sonny Bamboo...15 second rounds
lol why 15 second rounds. sonny bamboo jacked illmaculates style imo, but hes still dope as fuck
Tony Young You didn't get my joke...
15 second rounds would be a "short" battle
did not get it. i thought u noticed that they rap the exact same way
Tony Young LOL! Yeah to be honest when I read your comment, I started thinking about Sonny's battle with A-Class and thought...He does kind of have Illmac's cadence.
all of his newer shit is really crazy. him vs villun, the albino kid in dont flop is so disrespectful and rude its fucking hilarious
Illmac won... but that papyrus line from Bender was serious!!
I'm on my Kill Bill shit!!!!
Lol but hey I swear i'm obsessed with Illmac's intelligence!
So many quotable lines from both artists.
Only thing you need to know from this battle, these two are the epitome of top-tier.
One of the best battles I have seen so far , really , just amazing.
Great preformance by both , one of the best that I`ve seen from Illmac.
Rone is in trouble...
+Max Taylor The Rapper Or so you thought....
SnaPeeZee Illmac is still one of the best ever. The Prince has a lot of work to do yet
RIP BENDER
Ho at the front doesn't enjoy any part of these battles
How this battle does not have a million views is mind boggling.
Damn man. Rip to bender. This mans rhyme patterns and talent are of another world. With a soul of pure gold, and a pen of magic, god rest your soul man
Fans of battle rap 3- nil
When is bender battling again? His pen game is end game..
he's battling the saurus at battle of the bay 7 !
I can't wait I hope he brings a sorry player scheme..
Ricardo Reyes thats all im waiting for bro
I been waiting for a while his last sorry player was against sketch..
It was tight
30 isn't old wtf? lol
tis'
AssCandid U think so?
well 30 is a new era for people.. and to be battling in a league .... it is.... rappings one thing but battling.. they might be okay but they're not going anyway by age 30 with it
40 is but 30 aint shit lol 25 is prime most peoples brains arent fully developed till 24-25 , 30 only 5 years from that so yeah
this is my favorite battle from last year. both these dudes are heavyweights and both threw haymakers. Illmac was just on another level with his.
Back in 2020 to watch two of the ATG pens. Illmac took this one but they both have an unimpeachable legacy
i wanna see bender bigg k so bad!
Bigg k is aight though for real!
i love the part when illmac dissed the bouncer
I don't get it, who was this bouncer that Mac dissed and what did he do?
Lol
This is still a classic. One of the best. RIP Bender
No problem man, your battle VS 24/7 was one of my favs..
i love this battle, one of my favorites it really is a shame that illmac doesnt always bring it like this, he would be on top of the game if he prepared this much and put this much effort in to all his big battles
How is this battle not over a million views. It's crazy azf
Binge watching everything related to Bender.... Still unreal .... RIP bro
best produced video in KOTD, the intro is fantastic and the battle is classic, too much flow, my favorite battle, this deserves more views.
how can this only have 270k views?... One of the best battles I've seen.
Seriously, why is this battle still not at a million views?
what i like more than anything else about this video is their level of respect for each other. the fact that they could jokingly admit "true story" and laugh at each others bars, while still giving insults with convincing delivery is just the very essense of a classic. getting nasty while still holding respect for the opposing mc.
How can this battle not have millions of views? It's a sad reflection on the battle rap scene that crap battles get millions of views in a week and something with this depth and complexity has such a low view count...
Dope dope battle
I travel through time here ♥️
this is the first time ive watched a bender battle since he passed. this fucking man was better than I remember how is that even possible
that 'title taken' line was so subtle yet impacting. dope set up.
This battle intro is KOTD's greatest.
Illmac's 3rd is one of the greatest rounds ever spat in battle rap.
If bender had the performance here that he did against Syd Vicious this would undoubtedly be the greatest battle ever.
this battle highlights is the beauty of the written format: back in the freestyle days you couldn't get as lyrical off the top as if you had time to prepare
Asking a rapper to freestyle is like asking Picasso to draw you a masterpiece in 3 minutes, its going to suck and the only reason its ever good is in light of it being a freestyle, it could never hold up on its own.
Ill never understand what people like about hearing filler lines every 1 bar and having punchlines that are soft jabs at best.
Eurgh has battled Mac. It was on Don't Flop, back in 2010. I would LOVE to see them do it again though as they have both progressed so much!
This is what you call high level competition. Both lyricists came out swinging for the fences.
Illmaculate took it with the Hattori Hanzo line though.
Damn, 1st time seeing this battle and watched it 5x already lol. DOPE AF
17:00 - 18:07 *Dead*
the best set up and executed punch ive seen.. next to illmac's "actually a fan of me" part versus Saurus.. and Aye Verbs "thats how you talk to your son" part against Holla.
