@@Retros2408I love when people like you say dumb shit like this because it’s instantly so easy to shut that shit down. It’s almost like there’s 15+ years of footage of people taking Thesaurus serious. Wild 🤣
That’s why I never pay to go to battles, because these big names be bsing and it’s just a waste of time. Can’t get too mad at Hollow neither because we need to stop glorifying “idols”. We have no idea what’s going on with them.
@Milestone777 Hard No best case its 2-1 Saurus but if we're being honest henwas better in every single round 3rd was the closest but in no way did Hollow win 2-1 he debatably lost 2-1 or 3-0
Discovered these 2 legends back in WRC days, stopped watching battles a good 6 years ago and started catching up 2 weeks ago, then I see this battle out of nowhere. The Lush intro reference to 07' resonated with me like a mofo 😂. And as a musician I can say, on our best day we might match them, but try keeping motivated and maintaining it for near to 20 years. that's the real goalpost.
Thesaurus 2-1. He definitely beasted in the first round. Hollow started swinging back in the second, but i had Thesaurus still taking that one. Hollow definitely in the third. Thessaurus in that round fell flat for me. Hollow sounded mostly like he came to have fun with this, not to win.
@_0Blank Example? I know TheSaurus has recycled stuff before but he doesn't do it often. Not sure I've ever heard him use those bars in Rd 1 anywhere else but if you know which battle, I want to check it out.
@@_0Blank Hollow literally reused Grindtime bars line for line on his first round. So he actually recycled a lot more than Saurus did. Hollow intentionally recycled his own lines for crowd effect and it felt flat to me. I thought The Saurus was a lot more direct/personal/effective overall, and believe he took all 3 rounds. The Saurus came to kill Hollow and it looks worse on Hollow because he underperformed.
Hollow is probably my favorite overall battle mc, but I’m not giving him this one. He came light, and he was sick. It’s crazy because he used to cook in a small room (Pat, Aye Verb, Ars, Illmac) way back in the day, and now he’s more performance-based, so when he’s confined to these smaller venues opponents can overpower him. I love the saurus’ energy and creativity, and he won, no body though. I had him taking the first clear, edging the second and losing the third (weakest round from both of them)
Been rocking with these two since the WRCs. Fire to see this. Having Lush host, the setting/venue, DelMon Crew in there, Drect. Real nostalgia in this one. GTX!!!!
Props to Hollow for still doing the battle even though he’s under the weather here. Shame he wasn’t himself otherwise it could have been a great battle.
For over a decade people have said that intercom in a generator didn’t make sense… but I always knew he was making a McGuyver style contraption with the intercom signal to spark the remote detonation and the fuel in the generator for explosion. People still missed it because he’s been playing it off to see who laughs like it’s silly… that way he knows who the clowns are
Bro idk how nobody noticed this for one hilarious and true and also u the 🐐 yourself Brody come back and destroy! Catalog full of classics including the 2 on 2s ..much love 🫡
I'm going to be turning in my grave for not going to see this event live when I had the chance to. Too bad nobody else I know isn't into battle rap like that. This battle was insane! I would've been going insane in person. Saurus had hard punches and personals while Hollow had some hilarious lines mixed with great punches himself. They both won.
Yeah man. I wish I saw Geechi and Eazy in person. I live in Camden n they were literally 3 mins away from the crib. I did pull up after they were done just to meet Geechi and Eazy. That was worth it but I feel you it would've been dope as hell if I actually went
Oh my fucking god. Thesauras came so hard in that second. Jesus there were some hitters in there. The word play on the "Say lean's a solution" was legendary.
I feel like Hollow was rapping kinda true to how rounds were back in the old GT era, where sometimes it was just about who was rapping nicer rather than schemes/personals. But it’s cool to see Thesaurus showing the difference of that era vs this era
Takeaways from this battle: - Thesaurus using 'Anne Frankly' in 2023 - Hollow da Don seems like he has a cold, is withdrawing from something, or both - Thesaurus adding 'BITCH' at the end of his second round that's all i've got
It was a great night of battles but the production quality is too low for these caliber of battles. They need to get a better videographer and someone to light the set/stage better. It looks like something from the early 2000's.
3 0 Hollow. Over all it was a great battle. The whole 3rd round personal attack didn’t fit right in this kind of battle because of the kind of energy Hollow came with. Plus It’s 2023 everybody has shit going on in thier personal life. We don’t care about that. We just want bars.
Instant classic i edge to saurus hollow was light but still goin over heads somehow..both just naturally genius fr!! Grind time was such an amazing era , revolutionary really...

Y'all gotta get your sh*t together when presenting the battle. Got people coming into the camera shot late messing up what the host was in the middle of saying. Then you got camera people yelling over the host. Get y'all sh*t together it felt real unproffessional.
This low key makes me want to cry. Our childhood was amazing. Thank you grind time for the memories.
“No wonder he gets salty when you say lean is the solution.” That’s cold af.

Hollow wasn’t serious and Thesaurus wasn’t playin . 3-0 Mr 2 time

Thesaurus 2-1. Entertaining battle. I thought Hollow would be more direct. Thesaurus finished his approach and this battle dropped in good timing.
LOL 😂😂😂, Hollow has the more memorable lines...plus he's smooth... thesaurus chocked like 4 times. 😢😢😢
Well The Saurus tried A LOT harder than Hollow did for this, And it payed off😂.
I mean he train for Hollow
I mean he always tries really hard thats why we love him lol
I was looking for this comment lol
Props to Pete for absolutely demolishing Hollow. Da Dinininon came light and you can tell he regret it.

The Saurus was smoked him

Only disappointing part of this battle was no 4th round freestyle battle.
Or Lush choking the intro 😂
@@LifesBetterNotGambling lmao his intros were better when he was on drugs. He gotta get to the punch faster.
@@LifesBetterNotGamblinghe always does that
I’m surprised nobody pushed for it, I was lowkey expecting it after Hollow mentioned it.

This should’ve happened 10-15 years ago .. this is nostalgic a bit
Agreed but we’re here bruh. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Two of the best ever!! Thesaurus is on a CRAZY run right now
His saga battle and first round versus prehistoric. God tier
Stretched him the fuck out like he went through a fun house is crazy. That's vintage Saurus.
Seeing Diz react to Thesaurus has me wanting to go back and watch their battles after this…
What legends.
Which one the OG one outside or the new one at the KOTD tournament
Fuckk, if The Saurus hadn’t choked he would have won that one! Dizaster went crazy!
Of course the bar he reacts to is the Anne Frank one lmao

I won't stop giving the Don knotts until 3's company! 🔥
This was like how Fresco served Saurus. Now its Saurus time to serve Hollow
Those were some good times in battle rap back in those days. Miss that era
Thesaurus vs Fresco is one of my favorites ever. Even thesaurus couldn’t contain his appreciation for frescos bars
Thats what i thought too..Sauras was super chill when he got cooked by Fresco
Thesaurus went crazy 🔥🔥🔥
The Saurus is goin OFF! Bars on top of bars.

Was it the big ass grind time logo maybe?
@@DRDR3ADSA maybe cause seeing lush one and Derct etc all together and lush talking shit before a battle 😂🤣

The Saurus a fucking beast!!!
Its like hollow was painting pictures but thesaurus ripped all three pictures off the wall , damn 😮
Saurus beat Rum and Hollow back to back. He can sneak into the C.O.D.Y. race if he can squeeze 2 or 3 more big battles in the next 2 months.
the collective grunt at 4:56 has me rolling. 😹
hahahha that is fkin hilarious
My mom use to listen to me and my brother listen to battle rap, we always made these sounds. My mom would say it sounds like we’re in church lol
Thesaurus always kills it but hollow doesn't even have to try and he's just so good.
They both have been rapping for EVER...plus they can both freestyle... hollow won bc Thesaurus choked horrible in the third.
Takeaways from this battle:
- Thesaurus using 'Anne Frankly' in 2023
- Hollow da Don seems like he has a cold, is withdrawing from something, or both
- Thesaurus adding 'BITCH' at the end of his second round
that's all i've got
🤣🤣they were all standing around Uno like he was prayin and preaching during his intro. Heads down, nodding. Haha
I won't stop giving the don knots until 3s company. Super Slept On....lol Crazy.
All I gotta say is Wow The Saurus. Wow. Killed that shit.
That “saline’s the solution” bar was tough.. I usually don’t like homonym type bars.. but that was nice..
THE HANDS TALK WITH A DIFFERENT TONE, IT GOT VITILIGO 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you don’t think The Saurus is a great you genuinely don’t understand what you’re watching.
Super dope battle 💯💯🔥🔥
The guy 😂 talking in the beginning is CORNY 😅smh
Hollow treated this like a charity battle
And got washed.
He disagrees with this take. He blamed jetlag but said he took it like he would any other battle.
Didnt expect for saurus to arguably win this battle
30 -The saurus....never really been a fan, but he was better prepared and well versed.
Dying at Lush so mad at people fucking up his intro hahahahhaa

hes white beard in the marine arc hes old and took on monsters all the time

Y’all 😴 on Hollow. Both were killin it here. Dope battle.
Love hollow but this is one of his weaker performances. His C game is still better than many people, but it's rude to Hollow to say this is his best.
Lush one: “we have multiple continents in the building, for one our brothers KOTD from Canada” 😂 😂
Great battle from the legends hollow and Pat will forever be my goats rip Pat stay
holy shit The Saurus first round was fire
Great battle! Got tears from Thesaurus making me laugh so hard in the 3rd round!
“The goal is to have a Messi kick” 🔥 🔥
Damn i didn't even know this battle happened.
Amazing love both of these guys dope battle only in the 1st round 🔥
The Saurus SNAPPED. That first round was on fire.
They def slept on hollow clearly. He had some bars but Saurus was just wittier. Classic battle imo
The saline "say lean" is the solution bar won the battle for thesaurus alone. That's one of the hardest bars I've ever heard in battle rap facts
4real, it’s most definitely up there.
Lush that intro was not it 😂😂
Yeah it was trash. Lol at his friend getting blocked too and having to push his way forwards.
He can get an 'Ooh, no...'
I'm tired of dude trying to rap rather than host. Bro get in the ring or get under the wing!
My west coast goat and my east coast goat. Battling after all these years. Love to see it.
Whose your north and south goat
With all due respect, The Saurus bodied Hollow.
It was a great night of battles but the production quality is too low for these caliber of battles. They need to get a better videographer and someone to light the set/stage better. It looks like something from the early 2000's.
The only one cannoli scheme was used like ten years ago in hollows own hometown…. Surgeon general vs yung zm.
they both held back a lot of personal bars. could of been a better battle overall, but still decent
Hollow has been my favourite for over a Decade. Pete 3-0 him here.
ya just brought back that feeling, I love it let gooooo
Hollow needs to give it up he ain’t killing nun with that voice 😂
Round 2 was just as dope might be a instant classic
Can we get this Thesaurus every time? Thanks.
3 0 Hollow. Over all it was a great battle. The whole 3rd round personal attack didn’t fit right in this kind of battle because of the kind of energy Hollow came with. Plus It’s 2023 everybody has shit going on in thier personal life. We don’t care about that. We just want bars.

Starts @ 3:50
If Hollow ever battles ANY freestyler and Doesnt give us a 4th round freestyle back n forth round...then we dont want it Hollow!!
Craziest the sauras I’ve seen in so long
Hollow wasn't prepared. He just came for the money. Saurus cooked him with some serious bars.
Bout fucking time. There was no interviews after this battle
Hollow looks like he finally hit puberty 😂 he's really becoming one of my favorite battlers
Please put more content out this is too funny
