pistol pete was punching his mic around out the gate but this was dope on both sides. Saurus had the bar for bar and Mike’s highs came from delivery / performance. I didn’t realize Mike was influenced by thesaurus style, he should try to rhyme a little more if that’s the case. He’s got good delivery, good premises, and good rhymes for the most part but sometimes I hear a Canadian rhyme or a dropped syllable. If he spent like 5 more minutes tweaking those he’d advance to another level and unlock full Italian heritage. lol I’m playin good battle tho. both sides cooked in their own way
People don't give you the credit you deserve for being one the most well rounded complete battle rappers who willing to and can stand in front of any tier battler and go toe to toe with the most fire shit. You have elite writing amongst the best to do it. And I know what I'm talking about. I come from the essence of it. Ask marv one about lush lounge and he will tell you.
Wow that first The Saurus round was one of the best rounds of 2023. It was already done right then and there. I'm so glad he has such an amazing year and is still giving us this legendary level of battling.
Thesaurus is the most genuine battle rapper there is. His appreciation for this culture is definitely wholesome. Same with MikeP's appreciation for Thesaurus's material. I usually like the heated jawns where you literally want to throw your phone at an elderly woman but this also makes me happy.
@@Benny-ms9wf Throw my phone at an elderly lady. It's a pretty clear statement. A bar never hits so hard that you almost can't contain yourself? Shit maybe it's just a culture thing. It's similar to when a haymaker lands and the homies around them start wildin out, holdin them by the collar of their shirt, literally pushing each other, like I said iunno maybe it's just me and the squad but when something fuckin hits the adrenaline and the talk does somethin to someone who can relate or has passion for it.
No that's pretty good analogy! Lol. He means the shit that makes you think- HOW THE FUCK DID HE THINK OF THAT!?!? PETE WOULD MAKE THE BEST JUDGE ON THE PLANET FOR BATTLE RAP!
Dang this was brutal by both of them, each battle I see on this league gets me to immediately watch another and another, best buddies of my night shifts currently, shout out to everyone involved 🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️
Stellar battle! One of them ones that seems like it shoulda been happened by now. Grateful to have it. Can feel the respect from both for each other. Both brought the 🔥
I liked Mike P's approach in every round and honestly think his performance was incredible, but the saurus clearly took this match super seriously and to me personally one of the bars of the battle was " I have an IQ of 575 like a haiku" I can just tell thats one of those ones that will get stuck in my head forever. Victory to the saurus but classic battle either way you call it.
@ThinkTinkh cleaner round. keep the energy consistent. the content didnt sway. thesaurus was more choppy (plus hes from that era were a stumble cost a round. but im not doing that here) i felt his energy was more at a decline in the second and third and also that it wasnt as consistent.. his first was so damn crazy that to follow up wit that second. i couldn't edge it to him
@@eastcoastpaper3862 you said keep the energy consistent and then you said the content didn't sway. Which one is it? Because each has vastly different effects on a round.
Mike P one of the realist out there. Guy calls twork one of the best post interview and now he wants to battle bigg K and appraises bigg K as the brst doing it now before he even has it booked. He respects his opponents and only wants to prove himself. Got to respect it
I got saurus with the gentleman’s 30. All respect to Mike, but just keepin it real saurus was more entertaining, more quotables, stronger angles. Good battle
1st Thesaurus clear 2nd Mike P - Thesaurus used a thesaurus for that played out angle. 3rd Mike P edge- “name flip X 11” crazy. Thesaurus very small choke 22:53. Mike P 2-1. This shit was like the beginning of Looper. Young Mike shooting at his older self. Pete threw some golden bars back in return. Neither could get a body. 🔥📝
It’s so easy to gloss over the fact that The Saurus is punching while rhyming like 5 syllables each line. Just punching is hard enough and just rhyming is hard enough. Criminally under appreciated writing. Legendary 🙌🏽
Agreed especially because lux has recently left more to be desired in recent battles and thesaurus is clearly putting his best foot forward whenever he hits the stage. He really having one of his best years
I met and got a photo with Thesaurus in Worcester Mass years ago at the Paladium. Had the privilege to see Pat Stay battle *RIP*, Diz was there, so many others, shit was 🔥
The Saurus got the W. Good to see Pete in mf prime condition again. Mike P brought it tho. Close battle but Saurus sealed the first two rounds no question.
I kno I kno ima lil late on watching this battle but just sitten here chilling an my five year old is like wait dad wut he say rewind it so I did u no like 20 times now an he gets it to fucken 🔥 🔥🔥Spider-Man bar mike p straight up dawg
Thesaurus got the 1st clear. His 2nd started off extremely fire then kinda tapered towards the end and seemed a little short. Mikes angle in the 2nd was more than enough. That 3rd can go either way but i think Mikes round was a little cleaner. Mike 2nd and 3rd.

Great breakdown 💯
HIGH praise. You the man 💯
Yo fresco stop watching battles and come battle, where tf you at
Whoa, I think I see where this is going
Brooklyn style VS Chicago deep dish! Set it up 🔥
Fresco... U are th G.O.A.T
Life is crazy. If you told me 16 years ago that i would one day face Thesaurus on Blackout i would laugh….so grateful. Thank you KOTD 🙏
Atta boy Mike
Good shit from yous both. LI ALL DAY

This was a fire battle by the way. Classic
Congratulations bro. You held your own
I don't even debate wins anymore. I'm just blessed KOTD is still here.
Been a while for sure

I couldn’t agree anymore. RIP.
The way Mike actually appreciates how sick thesaurus bars were in the first is real
thanks for keeping great battles free and easy to access. A big example to other leagues
“My Bowie knife might make this Open mic night!” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That’s a crazy fucking bar
Haven’t heard anything from you in a while. You still making music? You vs PMC is still on repeat.
Eh
Thesaurus is a legend for real
"The bullet? a good nerd it's gon' get a thesaurus~
Exit wound? a book worm you could look into thesaurus"
Is fucking sensational.
Mike P’s second round about The Saurus in person vs social media hit hard lol on point
"I'm talking numbers when I pull up on mic like drive throughs" one of the illest bars in this battle!!!
"I'm talking 🗣️ numbers 🔢 when I pull up ⬆️ on Mike (mic) 🎙️ like a drive 🚗 thru".
Love the RESPECT from BOTH in this battle ❤️🙏
8:46 this whole shit was fireee.. back to back..
"I'm talking numbers when I pull up on mike/mic like a drive thru" that's literally perfect
This is the most conviction i've heard Mike P kick in a long time

Thank you K.O.T.D for this one✌️
Two time everything bagel is hilarious. 😂

That nunnnunn was 🔥
Thesaurus' first is insane
Mic 🎤 drop
How is thesaurus still getting better?
Like fine wine … 🍷
Thesaurus and illmac vs hom and piff james where my OGs at?
Fire 🔥 battle frfr I love when the battle rappers let each other know the other ones $hit is good. Gotta give respect where respect is due💯⛽️⛽️⛽️🔥🔥🔥
That first from The Saurus one of his all time best rounds, he really is having one if his best runs after over 20 years in the game. Legend.
2-1 either way. Mike P CLEARLY TOOK THE THIRD. great battle. Crazy replay value.
and edged the 2nd
@@eastcoastpaper3862how so? 🤔

Classic Nice Drop KOTD great work from both mcs
Broo that 1st round was insane on both sides.
Thesaurus rhyme scheme about sloppy seconds was delivered perfectly
Mike P one of the realist out there. Guy calls twork one of the best post interview and now he wants to battle bigg K and appraises bigg K as the brst doing it now before he even has it booked. He respects his opponents and only wants to prove himself. Got to respect it
That sloppy seconds line tho 🐐
I rep where I come from, you rep the depression you run from 🔥
I don't think I've ever rewatched a battle immediately after watching it. Crazy battle
"Mr two times everything bagel" let's go 😂
The Saurus and Charlie clips just don't fail to amaze me when they show up! Maybe the only two battlers that seem undefeated.
"I already smoke crack" lmao
We need to study Thesaurus first round shessshhhh 🔥
Goodass, debatable battle! Thesaurus came out the gates blazing with his first, but Mike's Thesaurus scheme in his third was so cold.
“That the Adam 22 of Battle Rap is you”😤😤 that line was CRAZY!! 16:43
Hell yea 💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥
Greetings from Estonia 🇪🇪
Amazing battle 🎙
I got saurus with the gentleman’s 30. All respect to Mike, but just keepin it real saurus was more entertaining, more quotables, stronger angles. Good battle
That synonym bar from Mike was fucking crazy
Amazing battle 🔥
1st Thesaurus clear
2nd Mike P - Thesaurus used a thesaurus for that played out angle.
3rd Mike P edge- “name flip X 11” crazy. Thesaurus very small choke 22:53.
Mike P 2-1. This shit was like the beginning of Looper. Young Mike shooting at his older self. Pete threw some golden bars back in return. Neither could get a body. 🔥📝

that was a proper fight, great showing from both
The Saurus for champ of the year. 20 years of being champ fr tho.
Fire battle
Thesaurus being here this long is crazy. He don’t get that high praise like the lux and then. Smh crazy.
Agreed especially because lux has recently left more to be desired in recent battles and thesaurus is clearly putting his best foot forward whenever he hits the stage. He really having one of his best years
I really need to see lux vs the saurus before I die.
I had to stop the battle and comment after that 1st round hahahah wow. Thesaurus’ first round is the best battle rap round I have seen in a while 🔥🔥🔥🔥
IS THIS THING ON!? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Organik with no hat on is crazy
With the Archie cut
Ganik got older and started looking like Elon Musk😂
“The exit wound is like a bookworm, you can look into thesaurus”
This was a fire battle, thank you!
bruh thesaurus first round is insane lol
WOWWWW THESAURUS IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST! Mike P killed it too! Straight up amazing.
THESAURUS "For me, 20 years I've been mainstage
And I've maintained it this Whole Time"
Gg's in the chat
That sloppy seconds bar literally made me say "oh my god" out loud. Haha
BROOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭
Yall Host for today: Sean Paul Vanilla ice and Eminem
This was fire
proximity mines and every round closer from Thesaurus was insane .. hes got his formula downpat
Pete clearly got round 1 and Mike clearly got round 3. Round 2 is a toss up.
Dope battle, they both went in.
That Sloppy Seconds Bar was Crazy !!!!!🔥🔥Literally won the battle for me !!Then the Adam 22 Bar Sealed it !!!🔥🔥🔥🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
Those tWo haymakers Were HEAVY!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Great battle for both, Thesaurus first was top tier stuff!
This battle 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Had it 1 each going into the 3rd. Then take your pick..... shesh.... Thank you gentlemen.
Right?! Way closer than people been sayin, and I’m really happy I watched it. Great effort from both, and it comes down to preference for me.
Saurus 1st round
Mike 2nd round
Mike 3rd round
bro i used to watch thesaurus like 15 years ago, these guys are still going lmao
They both showed up for this one. I liked Thesaures material a little better, but Mike P brought a good 3 rounds too.
Can't think of any other way to thank you for paving the road, than to wipe the floor with you 🔥
That Orioles jacket is hard af
I got an IQ of 575 like a Haiku. Pete’s amazing
Exactly. Shit was tough.
That one eye, Bisping shit was nuts.
This might be the perfect matchup for these 2.
Most definitely! I’m looking for Illmac vs Verb next 😎
That sloppy 2nds bar 🔥🔥🔥
bruh
I met and got a photo with Thesaurus in Worcester Mass years ago at the Paladium. Had the privilege to see Pat Stay battle *RIP*, Diz was there, so many others, shit was 🔥
They need to do another event at that venue
Mikes second and third we’re insane. Thesaurus got the first but it was lights out after that
The Saurus got the W. Good to see Pete in mf prime condition again. Mike P brought it tho. Close battle but Saurus sealed the first two rounds no question.
The fans won!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Mike P is my Favorite battle Rapper rightnow
we can always appreciate guys like thesaurus because they will always bring it
This Bowie knife fight, might make it an open mic(Mike) night
🔥
I'm talking numbers when I pull up on Mike like a drive through 🔥🔥🔥
I kno I kno ima lil late on watching this battle but just sitten here chilling an my five year old is like wait dad wut he say rewind it so I did u no like 20 times now an he gets it to fucken 🔥 🔥🔥Spider-Man bar mike p straight up dawg
Let's go Pete. Kotd been working got alot to catch up to. No better place to start then with the homie thesaurus. The legend the myth
Father son battle of the year
See Vookrum sell watches in the day and battling Saurus in the evening is crazy
damn! I fuck with the snowcapped intro...
🔥🔥🔥 battle
This is the definition of a debatable. I got Mike P 2-1, But it could swing either way. Great work from the both of em!!!
Mike P vs Dizaster please
Amazing battle. Thesaurus has improved with time.
Thesaurus ate that shit!!! At least 2-1 if not 3-0.
Odd choice of words lol
Facts
Lmfao! You right though.
Holy shit Thesaurus is timeless
Thesaurus got the 1st clear. His 2nd started off extremely fire then kinda tapered towards the end and seemed a little short. Mikes angle in the 2nd was more than enough. That 3rd can go either way but i think Mikes round was a little cleaner. Mike 2nd and 3rd.
Fire battle 2 - 1 mike p very enjoyable close battle is always great
