I didn't think someone I've never met from the rap battle scene would actually have a huge impact on me, but pat stay was a rare breed. His lyrics and passion were able to reach my soul thru the screen. REST EASY PAT STAY. ❤️
The physical discomfort of traveling from West Coast to Toronto with a bum leg and actually battle rapping is insane. People don't realize the man gimped his way to Toronto in a cast. Respect to Diz!!!!!
Only Pat could make a man in a cast travel, and a retired battlerap king comeout for him. Much love and respect to Organic, KOTD, and to Diz and Hollohan for doing this. RIP to the Sucka Free Boss. Heart goes out to his wife and children. 💙 🙏
ياخي والله السين العربي ظالمك أنت وشيبوبة الله يفك أسره شاربين الهيب هوب شرب ليش ماتقدمون راب برا الخليج؟ ورب الآيات إنكم ظالمين أنفسكم شف كيف الناس هنا تتفاعل وبدون كراهيه والوضع فله عكس عندنا يحسبون التطور في الراب إنك تتمحن وتغني أنت تسوي راب بحت ممتاز وفاهم الهيب هوب فلا تظلم نفسك هنا
Long live Pat Stay, salute to KOTD, Dizaster and Hollohan for making such a monumental surprise battle happen. It's great to see a dream match with roots dating back over a decade finally take place, and all in a great tribute to the icon himself, Pat Stay!
Still haven't got over Pat's passing. The morning I woke up and saw the news, I was shocked af, I remember being in denial. The dude was just tweeting a few hours ago. It's dreadful, his battles have got me through some tough times, that comedic genius I'm yet to see on a battle stage. RIP Pat! Forever in our memory!
Man it's crazy I was a teen when these guys where in their prime and now I'm coming up on 30 man and it feels all so strange. Never once did I think Pat would go out like that man, it's honestly some real shit to see everyone come together for Pat and his family like this. KOTD and Battle Rap ain't ever really going to feel the same after this. Ngl, I was out the loop for a min but the news of Pat's' passing brought me back and made me feel like a kid again binging battles and just being mesmorized by the scene. I digress, but real talk Rest in Paradise to the Succa Free Boss.
Still hard to believe we won’t ever see Pat Stay perform again. He was so good, a master at what he did, and probably the only battler that really was “unbeatable”. Thank you Pat Stay. Love and condolences to the family. 🙏🏻🕊️🫡
A bittersweet moment. Glad these dudes got together for a great cause. Wish I could have bought something. These battle rappers kept me loving hip hop when mumble rap was dominating the algorithm. R.I.P Pat Stay
That was one of the realest battles I have ever seen. So much respect for both of these guys and everyone involved in the scene. Pat is a legend that will live on through all of us.
Bitter Sweet, Always was One of the Battles/Match ups i wanted to see,They Both Did Amazing, And Thank you For Your Contribution to the Battle rap Culture,You're a Legend too... LLPS!!
You can totally see the passion and love and emotions seeping through everyones souls, Hollohan almost burst out into tears I love it, made my eyes water. What a sendoff - RIP Pat.
Diz pat stay impression was impeccable. It's almost like his spirit was channeling through him. Rest in Paradise Pat!!! 🤴🌠 Good on you guys for putting this together. 👏
This was nothing else but incredible. What a performance from hollahan especially from being out of the loop for eight years. First battle I've actually seen in probably five years, this was so nice. Too bad it happened over such tragic circumstances. RIP PAT STAY ❤
RIP Pat Stay. I been rocking with king of the dot for fucking years now man, it just really will NOT be the same without Pat in it now. He was a fucking legend taken way to soon.
I’ve never had tears and goosebumps in a battle rap the way I did with hollohan talkin bout pat. It’s way deeper than rap. Respect that man’s pain and tears.
Incredible battle. Consider what an amazing performance Hollohan had after the amount of time off, under this once in a lifetime moment of pressure to deliver. Remarkable.
For real. Diz to me is Michael Jordan. I definitely wanted him to win and if we talking display of ability alone he outclasses Hollohan but I gotta give it to Hollohan he won this fr. You can see that he grew up with Pat swapping bars and it was cool to see the similarities. Also he had a lot more wicked angles than Diz in this battle. Diz talked about his leg for like half his round & while it was amazing as always it felt like it was lacking something. Hollohan’s round had everything. Bars, delivery, comedy, and real passion & meaning. Hard to fuck with that.
What an amazing intro. Very well done. They both did their thing. Dizaster is the better battler but Hollohan still had his good lines in there. I think on a track or over a beat in a freestyler cypher, with battling out of the equation, Hollohan is a whole other monster and better in that regard imo. This battle was great to see. I’ve been watching KOTD since 2008 and remember when Hollohan first came on the scene in Toronto, and then Pat Stay. Dizaster in grindtime. I watched the WRC days with Dizaster, organik, lush and them. This was a battle the older fans wanted to see way back in the day because of the style similarities and rivalry. It was great to finally see it. Pat Stay would be proud
Watched this with a frog in my throat. It’s been +10 years y’all. This crazy. This stuff kept me sane, and no one I know within 10,000km probably knew what this “battle rap” thing was especially in the 2010s 😂
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL HOW THEY OPENED UP THE SHOW. I HAVE GOOSEBUMPS... R.I.P. PAT STAY.. BIG SHOUTOUT TO ORGANIK AND THE WHOLE KOTD FAMILY FOR PUTTING THIS 2GETHER
“No more NFTs ima just leave you floating out in the OpenSea (NFT platform), oh you don’t believe I’ll leave you floatin come fuck with the buoyancy/boy n see” Diz 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
RIP to the battle rap GOAT. I met him on the street in Halifax one day and he stopped and talked with me for like 10 minutes. I went into it thinking I was probably going to be an annoying fan, and left feeling pretty damn great.
Similar experience to me when I bumped into him in Ottawa while he was staying here. Such a humble and genuine guy, despite knowing I was a fan and enjoyed his work, he shifted the convo, asked about me, my life and situation. Went away appreciating him all the more. Tragic loss for the battle rap and Halifax community on top of his family. Rip
This better get mad views. This was a FIRE tribute on both sides. I wish Hollohan didn’t do that weird thing with his voice. He actually got bars and can rap and still put on a fire battle especially for his brother Pat. Salute to KOTD and everyone that agreed to do that for Pat. He really made a stain in this culture 💯 ❤️
So sad that we lost one of the greatest of all time. Hard to comprehend. Amazing work from everyone who participated it must have been tough to perform under those circumstances. What sucks also is all the hate im seeing in the comments below. This was an exhibition battle to raise money for pats family that was taken on a ten day notice. The fact people are disgusting enough to cut down the people who are performing for free to raise money to the family of a fallen battler is despicable. Give your head a shake people you should be ashamed of yourselves Thanks organik for puttting this together to honor the real king of the dot. This whole situation broke my heart im blessed i grew up in an era to experience pat and his greatness
Hollohan did solid for taking such a long break. I couldn't even imagine speaking words after a close friends death but these 2 legends gave us a memory to always remember Pat Stay with. RIP PAT ❤
Im from germany and my first english battle i ever watched was pat vs rone. he became my fav english battle rapper. my prayers go out to his family and friends. STAY strong. RIP my man
Hollohan did this on 10 days notice? He was f*cking fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I hope he sticks around and does a few more. Diz killed it like always. Pat Stay Forever!!! 🫡💯
It’s crazy how much of an impact someone can have on your life without ever meeting them. I can only imagine what these 2 men went through and are dealing with still, being like brothers to him. God bless them both. Pat brought so many memories and life lessons throughout the years on just how to be a great fucking human. From the beautiful posts showing how special his mother was, to openly inviting anyone to meet up in the area and jog with him to better their health. And the posts of him picking his son up from daycare.. the smile on that boys face. God bless his whole family. You are truly fucking missed Pat 🐐 RIP ❤
Dude that part about Dizaster spitting bars for his baby and telling him to open up for the airplane but smearing food all over his face was maybe the funniest thing I’ve heard in a battle rap
If I can look up to Heaven, I would say Thank you Eyedea, Pumpkinhead, Bender and Pat Stay for what we did for this culture, may your presence carry on. Legends never die!
This was so fire. Didn't get to attend but watched the ppv live and that countdown and reveal hit so fucking hard. What an event. Still getting chills and tearing up during this battle. So good. #LLPS #SuckaFree #LookAtYouGo
The chills, vibes, & emotions just 30 seconds into the video are so real. I always skip to the battle but I’m sitting here with goosebumps just on the intro
I just tuned in after a few years being absent from watching battle rap, and this is the first thing I see, what a shame, RIP Pat Stay. Im so thankful for all the good entertainment this guy gave me. One of the funniest, most entertaining and realest battlerappers we had.
