Im glad I live in a world where we cab watch the greats review their old tape and react to it. A+ content

Man I can't wait for Avo to watch the entirety of Illmac and The Saurus' 2nd WRC run with them. That was what first got me into battle rap. The battles vs. Marvwon and Quest McCody (despite the missing tapes 😳) were so 🔥🔥🔥

Imho the WRCs was one of the best eras in battle rap! It was so pivotal to the culture that some of the top dudes TODAY were either influenced by or even participated in the WRCs. I remember when the tapes got stolen in 07 and everyone was bummed out cuz so much history had been lost. If Quest and Marv still have those, they need to give em to Minnesota Luke or sum shit so we can all enjoy classic battles that never got released in their entirety!

Holy shit. It was a bad loss...but damn...god bless his soul. Comes down to never wishing death upon ANYBODY. God bless to that soldier.

PLEASE do a massive 3 hour long video watching ALL of their WRC07 battles with them. I'd watch the shit out of that.

This was the first KZread battle I ever saw and I instantly became a thesaurus and illmac fan. Such a murder

For a long time, whenever I wanted to introduce someone to battle rap, I’d show them this battle. Illmac and thesaurus in wrc 06 and 07 is still probably my favorite battle rap stuff to rewatch. Good times

I used to download the jumpoff battles every week and put them on my ipod to show my homie at college. good times

34:39 is fucking amazing lmaooo after illmac says “I’m pretty good man” and the joint laughter 😭😭😭😭

Thank you so much for this. This is the battle that started me watching battles. This was the first battle I saw of ill or thesaurus. Man this is legendary.

Hommy Hom was my fav of all time in the wrc

Been waiting forever for y’all to do this one! 😝😁😁

I didn’t know how badly I needed this, until now LOL we def need the whole WRC, this was phenomenal!

Legendary having these two reflect on this battle. I watched it so many times when I was younger and wondered how they were freestyling this so quickly and seamlessly. I was in awe. I come back every so often to watch but so cool to have illmac and theSaurus talk about each bar and how they had to look up hom and piff James' references haha

Nothing makes me laugh more than the delivery of that ‘Canoes’ line.

This is what got me into watching battle rap, it's dope to hear what they were thinking and laughing at certain stuff.

Hung out with Akil the MC from J5 and showed him this battle, in like, 07. He loved it!

Severiously underrated story.

First battle I ever saw Never stopped watching battles since

I would LOVE to see a documentary on the Jumpoff World Rap Championships. Anyone interested in making it? I'd pay to see that.

I remember listening to this battle and this tournament on Jumpoff in general when it aired. I must have listened to it 50 times. 100% became a fan of battle rap because of this.

RYD - your source for timeless battle rap classics. I watched this battle right when it dropped - day 1. Seeing it today with commentary from the greats was special. Thank you.

Oh man I remember watching very closely the WRC. I'm so sad that the era is gone but so happy that it happened and I was there present to experience it. Thank you Thesaurus and Illmac for the wonderful memories as well as all the other amazing rappers.

this is the battle that got me into battle rap.

Hommy hom and piff James are the reason why i started fuckin wit battle rap too bro fr. Jersey

More freestyle battles please!

Great Battle

Avo, I'm still holding you to this idea of having Saurus 'n Mac (or at least Mac) rewatch their entire WRC run... Don't let me down bro.

"fast food/fast enough" and "boogie nights" were two for the books

This is awesome watching the saurus and illmaculate watching there old battle.do more please guys

great stuff

Fam I was 15 Me and sister use to watch these all the time. We got different moms so I would watch them as they came out and then rewatch them when my sister came to my house. I gotta send this to her she going to trip!

lmao. I still watch those old WRC videos. I loved them when they were coming out. I thought I was only the one who was really nerdy about them.

I remember i got into battle rap on accident ha someone added me to a group called Bring Back Scribble jam. Had to look it up and then boom fell in love with the culture of battling

Salute 2 da RYDerz

I watched these battles on demand when I was in 5th grade. I’m 27 now. Time flies yo

Thesaurus laughing makes me laugh. So contagious .

Hommys and piff james bars were so crazy. Wish either one stayed battling them bars would be crazy nowadays.

That marky mark line is craaaazzzzzyyyyy

The battles on Comcast on demand is exactly how I got into battle rap

that is for sure Tom Cruise mom´s shoes!

We need the wrc run!!!

You came here on Canoes lol

Piff James the drunken master of battle rap

They need to show a WRC the saurus and Illmac vs DFD and sahtyre

It’s 2022. When are we getting the Illmac/Thesaurus JumpOff run watch?????

Invite your ankles up Lol

Avo. It's my yearly reminder that we havent had the full WRC watch yet. Come. The. Fuck. ON.

Revisiting this cause Piff's "Thinner" line is fucking hilarious! Y'all should watch Hom/Piff vs Wapps/Juce (the day battle & the night battle)

1:10 is a visual representation of how Watch will look after December. If you know you know

Hommy Hom is a silly Mon - You better gimme mine before I transform your chest plate like Digimon! 🔥 . Crazy how I remember this line after all these years

Illmac & The Saurus vs Marlo & Shuffle T. Make it happen please

Googling “Thinner” is one of the top RYD moments

mad illz parable illmac the sauras battles are classics yall should watch

Watch illmaculate and thesaurus vs possessed and whasiface please!

Chase looking like a pack of fruit stripe gum

“Is it me or is it you? Or is this dude not wearing shoes, he is walking on CANOES” lmao I miss the freestyle era

Thesaurus over there hoggin the hell out dat blunt. Lol

Did they ever release that Manik and Spyte watch?

Piff must be from Philly. With my eyes closed I could swear I was listening to an E Ness battle.

You should do more WRC battles…

This was the first acapella-stuff i remember diggin heavily after discovering illmacs scribble 04-rounds. Lead me over to the 07-wrcs and then the grindtime.

Hommy hom was fire

the 5 dislikes are definitely Hom, Piff, and Cyanice lol

This is how I discovered battle rap outside of 106 and park and 8 mile. Shout out to Dj Vlad's Comcast on demand. It's still Fuck dj vlad and comcast as a whole though.

Choked on my food Funny

ight wassup with those shorts

Chase More with the Chris Chan fit

I saw this shit on Comcast OnDemand too.

This wasn't even the oldest joint what happen to Passwordz, Syanide, Franco. Even before Solomon haha. Like a damn folk lure😁"For the culture!"
