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.

@@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.

Victory to the saurus but classic battle either way you call 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

IS THIS THING ON!? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Saurus and Charlie clips just don't fail to amaze me when they show up! Maybe the only two battlers that seem undefeated.

Great battle ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

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.

This battle 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Goodass, debatable battle! Thesaurus came out the gates blazing with his first, but Mike's Thesaurus scheme in his third was so cold.

Mikes second and third we’re insane. Thesaurus got the first but it was lights out after that

The fans won!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

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.

I'm talking numbers when I pull up on Mike like a drive through 🔥🔥🔥

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.

Thesaurus first rd was vintage Thesaurus

bro i used to watch thesaurus like 15 years ago, these guys are still going lmao

mikes 3rd was crazy

They both showed up for this one. I liked Thesaures material a little better, but Mike P brought a good 3 rounds too.

“The exit wound is like a bookworm, you can look into thesaurus” This was a fire battle, thank you!

Great battle for both, Thesaurus first was top tier stuff!

CRAZY BATTLE!! Best thesaurus I’ve seen in a while. And Mike was snappin! THE FANS WON!!!

proximity mines and every round closer from Thesaurus was insane .. hes got his formula downpat
