KOTD - Jin vs Illmac I  

Everyone saying Jin is trash is clearly in their 20’s lol. Ya definitely do not understand the impact this man has on the battle rap community.

Jin came back to just give respect to Stay. One of the last real "freestyle" battlers. Good to see him on stage again.

Jin is a legend, anyone here bashing the dude doesn’t understand how big this moment really is.

Let's be fair, guys. Y'all got to remember that Jin has not been a part of the battle/freestyle world for quite some time now. The guy is a full-time family man, as he stated himself. This was also a friendly, last-minute tribute dedicated to Pat Stay, so what more were you all expecting? Cut the guy some slack. Just appreciate the event as a whole, and the dope show that was well put together by Organik and KOTD.

Pat really brought all these legends back on stage 😢 it breaks my heart he ain’t here to see something everyone came together to honor him. RIP Pat Stay 🕊️❤

You gotta be of a certain age to appreciate Jin coming back. This is peak nostalgia! R.I.P. Pat, everyone did a beautiful job.

That Jin slanted eye bar at the start was 🔥 The way he delivered gave flashbacks of his old battles

The power of Pat Stay brought Jin back, brought Dumb back, brought Hollohan back, and brought BATTLE RAP CHRIS back.

Jin not trash he's living a life we're he doesn't want to contradict his religion. You can feel the positive coming from him. He doesn't have that hungry from the slums underdog or hood champ type vibe anymore

Legend versus legend in honor of a legend. This is what battle rap is, baby. RIP Patrick. 🤟❤️

What some of y’all younger fans just don’t get is how he was running through emcees, especially when freestyling off the top was the norm. There’s an old Angryfan007 interview (maybe from around ten years ago) where he was interviewing Serius Jones, and they asked him to speak on Jin. The first thing he said was that Jin deserves a lot of credit and was the first to get $100k from battle rap, because remember he won two of those major Fight Klub battles (not the MTV one) and got $50k each, and remember when he won the second one (where he beat Professor Green), he offered to put up $10k to rematch Serius Jones (who was there but had lost to Professor Green) onstage right then and there, but Jones didn’t accept. He did say that the time he battled Jin before getting called out (on the Fight Klub that did end up on MTV), he actually was a little scared to battle Jin, not in a weak way but just in the sense that he knew how witty Jin was and how he could say one thing and just get the crowd to erupt. Obviously Jin’s style is both rusty and just not modern (as he was at his peak damn near 20 years ago), so you can’t expect him to just jump into the ring and just be on point after not really battling (as the Wildin Out stuff is just ehh). Just think of how dated 80s rappers sounded in the 90s.

Much love to the Notification Ganggg 🔔

Bro Jin looking out for illmacs mic then hyping the crowd to keep the energy what a professional

Shout outs to people who get what a tribute/charity event means lol. No ones trying to end anyone’s life here. Class act from both truly honoring Pat. The fact they both showed up and did this was a moment I’ll always be grateful I got a chance to witness live. Blessings

Man Jin is my guy!!! Been following my man since forever, even through his religious and overseas days. This man is a legend. Can’t believe he returned and I didn’t hear anything about it.

Much love!!! This event is definitely a hell of a good tribute to our man. RIP Pat Stay sucka free boss

It’s really sad how these new battle rap fans don’t know when it’s time to judge a battle/battle rapper and when it’s time to appreciate a legendary moment in battle rap. Both of these LEGENDS did this to honor their friend, this shit is incredible. Anyone with a different opinion is a clown.

Yeeesss!! Loved it since the PPV, its going to be fun to see it in better quality!

Jin too polite now to battle Rap

I would’ve never thought to see Jin back on stage. This was an amazing surprise. Shout out to both the legends.

Jin is a legend, supported this guy since Jumpoff TV

A part of me wish that Jin would show up like that time Jin vs verse on smack dvd. I Never forget that battle 😅

Gonna be tough to top this card. All amazing battles with amazing energy. Long Live the GOAT Pat Stay

Mac said yes to this battle then took an 8 ball to the dome. That round is fucking insane. That being said. Jin is God tier. Him coming out in this battle and being able to still hit. Shows he is a legend.

Prepared for a crooked eye?! Die by a slanted one?!?! Illmac and jin is fuckin historic

This was awesome to see! I don't care about people who feel some type of way about Jin in the modern era... Dude has been retired for like 20 years that would make anybody rusty... He entertained and did his thing. Also welcome back to the battle rap arena Illmac! Respect and RIP to Pat Stay.

There will never be another MC JIN! No one can flow in English, Cantonese and mandarin! Straight 🔥🔥🔥

Jin the whole reason why I got into battle rap in the 00s, this warms my soul

Crazy to think how many people in the crowd and watching on RU-vid don't have any clue who Jin is. I remember when he battled Iron Solomon and that was pretty much when battle rap went from mostly freestyle (Jin) to written (Iron).

The difference between KOD and any other platform is that you can feel the love and fun vs trying to being harder than it has to be.

“It was like Pat made a time machine for us and said, "Here, take these Grindtime matchups from a parallel universe I got access to, have a good night..” -hustlecrowe845

Jin is a pioneer of battle rap since jumpoff and 106 & park. Legend

The set up alone made me hit the like button. Icons right here from back in the days.

Illmaculate won this battle, but Jin proved he can still get down. Hope this ain't the last of him. He was a dangerous freestyle battler , so hopefully he can show us his pen game.

I haven't seen jin since I was like 16 bro.😂😂😂😂 This is legendary

JIN is where BATTLERAP/FREESTYLES all started for me... HOLLA-FRONT! (Let's immortalize Pat and make him the KOTD Logo)

I vividly remember seeing Jin on Freestyle Friday for the 1st time in high school in 02. It's super cool to see him battling in it's current form over 2 decades later.

Such a legendary moment in battle rap, I don't like the disrespect coming towards jin in the comments, he is from the old school era where freestyling was the thing and obviously he is rusty dude as been gone for years he's a legend and should be respected as such and for what it is this was a great performance by both.

“I got so much Juice I could bring Jin back” would’ve been a way harder line

"Bender's face on my arm, yeah this ain't my first ride" still gives me chills. Esp in a culture where nothing lasts more than a couple weeks, for it to be a year after this event and prob a year and a half since Pat's passing, it's really good to see his impact still being felt in battle rap. LLPS

I'm almost 34 and I ABsolutelyyyyy love this throwback, nostalgic shit.. real hiphop for life

Yall really don't realize the impact Jin has had on battle rap. Go look up Jin vs Shells, Verse, Iron Solomon, Serious Jones, etc... not to mention his legendary 106 & Park freestyle win streak. Respect to both legends 🔥

2 legends! Jin left the scene years ago to follow Christ. Just all good vibes. Good to see one of the original battle goats.

I'm geeking out! I grew up on the late grind time era, this is so dope i can't really believe it happened😢

Jin is a reborn christian, he doesn't rap like he used to

Jin....a true legend of the game. I have a lot of respect for that dude and the things he achieved. Illmac is of the same vane. Both legends in their own right.

Jin went back to help the Chinese Rap industry grow fr. I started listening to Chinese rap in 2017 cos of him

Ya'll buggin. These guys aint here to battle frfr... just having fun & paying tribute to Pat.

We need to get Jin back at all cost! Not for some post reunion but for an actual rap battle.

Watching this back, Illmac's section, the Pat impression where he did about Jin's manhood, I just noticed he even had a Pat mannerism where he flicked his head. That was spot on Pat. I just caught that.

Yo Jin was fire and hilarious, what is the hate for? It's like he never left, man. Shouts to Illmac, extremely dope as usual. Great battle. RIP Pat Stay!

You prepared for crooked i but you about to die by a slanted one.... BARS

Saw this after Hollow & Charon but gotta comment for the algorithm. Salute to KOTD for putting on an incredible celebration of a legend! RIP Sucka Free 🔥

3:02 Hollow behind Mac after Jin bar: "Compose yourself on this side, you gotta compose yourself.... that was crazy tho" lol

I wonder how many people got the Jin and Juice line. Thats some og battle era reference.

“Penis bars something you gotta deal with” - Illmac 😂😂😂

Mad respect for these two. It’s hard being battle rapper and a Christian. Good job Jin. Welcome back and you will get better as you do it.

Jin is a legend he just hasn't battled in years so of course he's gonna have ring rust.

Jin sounds like he teleported from 2009 grindtime to here. Yeah it's a little old fashioned with the material, but you can still appreciate he was one of the best of his time, and that he could still hang in that Era. Great match

Jim will ALWAYS be a legend.

I did an essay on Jin in high school now my high school has a battle rap group

I think Jin had some very fire bars and showed star power qualities at moments. If he was to battle again he would definitely need to work on his delivery but watching this unfold live was beyond words and so nostalgic to long time battle rap fans.

I saw Jin and clicked. What a surprise for the audience?!

This was the best so far, especially with Illmac basically doing a classic Pat approach in his memory.

I remember Jin on 106 n Park, and in The Basement with Big Tigger R.I.P. PAT STAY

Mac clearly won but Jin did pretty good for a first battle back.

Jin fell flat but its all good😂. He is a legend and his rebuttles and freestyles were awesome in this battle. The more i rewatch this the more I appreciate what Jin came with

Rip Pat Stay. Shout out KOTD for putting on one of the greatest recent events!

Illmac is top 10 battle rappers of all time...I remember watching him on demand on grind time battles all the way up to now

“Who knew it’d be a surprise battle that put his life in Jeopardy? - and You know (immuno)-compromising your destiny / I’m unaffected by the Path-o-Jin (pathogen) but HE GOT iLL (Mac) and died Unexpectedly!” 💪🏽💯🔥

That camera angle makes illmaculate a bit shorter than he actually is lol

Love this energy from both grew up watching them slay, RIP Pat Stay

Da crowd was hating on Jin my boy was gassing ⛽️🔥🦾

I love jin. I just don't know why he shouts out the last words of every bar. My boy rusty as hell.

RIP Pat, thanks for doing this KotD

damn ive been wanting a new illmac battle too, lets go edit: they both killed it too, what a fun battle

That crooked eye bar was insane

A LOT of people have been Waiting for MC JIN to come BACK !!!

licking his lips scheme = greatest homage to pat of the whole event imo

Ya'll trippin frfr....Jin BODIED that round...considering the hiatus or not, and i've chilled with illmac in person before, so i AM biased FOR illmac...but I'll admit Jin got him lowkey💯

Holy fuck. Ive been out for a minute. I didn't know Pat stay passed.

FIGHT CLUB! FIGHT CLUB! FIGHT CLUB!.. HOLD IT DOWN! HOLD IT DOWN!

Jin did so amazing after like 15 years...legend

That was amazing ty KOTD

Mad props to both of these legends. Secondly, this sure was a good battle, and what are the odds we all see Jin return for another battle? Only time will tell. Aside from that, both Jin & Illmac showcased the bars, here. Respect.

So nostalgic. Much love Jin and Illmac

Seeing Jin back was dope. Shout out to ill Mac , he nice

"You prepared for a crooked eye, but you bout to do to a slanted one..." Y'all hating cuz that was fire...

Was great to see Jin in this environment 🔥🔥🔥

If you watch the battle, stay for the interviews at the end…really dope!

Thank you Jin and Illmac for coming out and doing this in Pats memory. Yall did yall fucking THING!

"Y'all are wondering like this is rehearsed isn't it? "No I just never leave my house without Illmacs birth certificate" 😂

Respect I really respect what they did for the culture, illmac put passion in it, and jin showed up without even doing it for battle rap but the people who made it what it was and when you put that into perspective it was deep and powerful the culture needed this.

Jin is a straight legend. Great battle. 🔥

Illmac is my favorite of all-time! illest flow, good mix of humor, personals, angles, punchlines & where he surpasses everyone else is how he paints a picture with his words$

The Legend is back! JIN

If Jin came to smack and battled serious jones that would be a hit. Glad to see Jin back tho this shit is iconic. Rip pat

Respect JIN 🫡🔥 they were both dope! 🫡🫡

Heard a ghost licking his lips telling me Jins a bitch, damn that was crazy.

Yooo I loved seeing Jin up there, KOTD yall brought the unexpected 🔥🔥🔥
