KOTD - Rap Battle - Gjonaj vs Psycoses *$2000 Battle* |  

I remember being impressed with Psycoses in the first and thinking Gjonaj was in trouble, but then Gjonaj starts rapping and you realized there is a difference between throwing your best bars back to back vs a cleverly crafted fluid verse

Dizaster wants to react to Gjonaj bars, so bad right now.

"You got a little buzz, thought you'd be/bee a fucking match, but you're gonna die leaving a mark that doesn't last" Holy shit, Gjonaj's writing has layers.

that large intestine and digest bar was stupid 🔥🔥

"the machete spray" -DNA

For your rewatches: 9:37 17:08 25:13 Gjo rounds

The "killer at large intestine (and testing) me will be the reason you digest (die just) a little slower" line was one of the best bars of the battle.

i dont mind gjonajs voice at all...sounds like hes reving a chainsaw when he gets to the crazy punches. its dope imo

Shouts to Gjonaj & Psycoses !! Hope you all enjoy ! #KOTD

This battle details how huge of an influence Dizaster has been on the battle scene.

"I alone am RULER, they MEASURED my success as soon as my FOOT fit through the door." didn't even notice that until the second watch. Gjonaj's content is so re-watchable, I catch new stuff every time.

Psycoses needs, desperately, to work on his stage presence. He jumps around more than K-Shine. Psy has bars, but in this battle he had too much filler. His second verse was nothing but similes. "like, like, like..." He was better against JC. If he wants more mainstage, he has to clean that up.

People say they're dizaster spinoffs, but every artist that's ever existed is a spinoff of someone else... Stop saying it like it's a bad thing, they both have their own unique styles, I'm sure they would both cite Dizaster as an influence, but that's not inherently bad. Every successful musician has copied the greats and then grown into their own style

killer at large bar....game over lol

Psycosis says so much but don't say anything worth remembering

Carter Deems vs. Rone Dizaster vs. Gjonaj 2 Pat Stay vs. Iron Soloman Psycoses vs. Fresco Shorty Horroh vs. Charron This shit HAS to happen

Dizaster's Delivery vs. Dizaster's Flow

pychoses broke down those Gjonaj reaches pretty effectively and his 3rd round mid round rebuttal with the darwin/evolution. Gjonaj had very slick and smart writing and delivered some dope overheads. If I'm judging off writing alone I have Gjonaj 2-1 slight edge. Dope showing and shout to Psy for pushing this Los Angeles Rap culture! West up!

I had to show him what the difference is/ cause feeding lambs to the wolves seem ignorant/ but what a shepherd do when the sheep ain't listening- Gjonaj

Was that Waldo bar really worth dressing up for?

psycoses needs to stop walking in circles. making me dizzy

This is actually one of my favorite battles. Phycosis is a absolute beast. Couple really good lines: I contact from every angle like the Mona Lisa Pangea bar My (bio)oligy made me the natural selection Gjonaij was just in his bag bro. I feel like his verses were like shapes and colors instead of consecutive lines. This is the perfect battle to introduce someone to battle rap. Plus money on the line makes it spicy 🌶

da judges got it right

These men were rapping rapping. This is one of my favorite battles for sure. I keep coming back to watch this

psycoses definitely studied at the Danny Meyers battle academy...surprised he didn't say yikes!!!

Nigga said wolverine has titanium claws tho

This battle is one of those ones.. replay value and I will continue to watch this a few times a year

Doesn't compare to gjonaj though.. I'm a killer at large and testing (large intestine) me will be the reason u die just (digest) a little slower.. dudes pen game is fya

I see Gjonaj got resurrected

That silence of the lambs rebuttal psycoses did at the start of his second round got slept on, that shit was crazy if you understand the reference. And the fact that he came up with it on the spot is even more impressive...idk man this one is hard to call lol.

Gjonai had a damn near perfect performance, dude is a serious threat

Damn. Gjonaj's shit is too dark for waldo here. 3-0 💀

That First round rebuttal by Psycoses might seem okay by first listen, but it's pretty incredible as an extended metaphor, especially as a rebuttal. I'm not Buffalo Bill, I'm Hannibal Lecter because when Psycho (psycoses, Hannibal) broke out the pen (regular pen to write with, and penitentiary), theres no saving face (Hannibal Lecter takes your face, and Psycoces embarrassing you).....I'm sorry but thats ridiculous to add 3 metaphors to a rebuttal line that fit perfectly. Psycoses does rebuttals every battle and mid-round freestyles. This was far from psyco's best battle, but everyone saying hes whack are just dead wrong. He crushed JC and RemyD already on KOTD although I know JC didn't bring his best, but the battle wasn't even close. Also for anyone thinking hes whack, just watch his battle against N-Pose (who was upcoming at the time) which was probably his most polished battle, despite having almost no experience. In my opinion he still has a huge upside in his battling career because he just went top-tier a year ago, and has a mix of all the right ingredients to be a battler, just needs to slow down at times and let go of some of the filler bars. Big ups to Gjonaj who had a great comeback after Diz, and showed alot of improvement. I personally just hate listening to his voice, he sounds like AM radio through my headphones, too much static. This was a tough battle to call for me....but one things for sure, it's tough losing a grand and walking around in a Waldo shirt.

dizaster spinoff vs dizaster spinoff

The stumble when referencing the choke was a bad look

I think both have incredibly amazing pen-game, virtually impossible to say who's better (in terms of bars). For me it comes down to delivery, and that's where gjonaj takes the W. He's so confident when he's spitting, he has excellent composure which is impressive when your character is always super aggressive. I think that if psychoses worked on his performance, vocal projection, composure (etc.) then he would beat someone like gjonaj because he has very impressive bars. It's kind of like charron, he's got incredible talent but the delivery and persona aren't ideal for battle rap. idk that's just me

love how Psycoses gave props to Anne Frank. Most KOTD battlers would insult her or make a harsh joke, he just bigs her up as having "attic wit". Classy!

"FUCK THAT SHIRT" underrated bar

Fire Battle. Gjonaj Redeemed Himself After The Dizaster Battle And He's More Polished With His Punches And Was Very Creative And Poised. Pycosis Was Dope Too.

IMO this is a lowkey classic, both brought hella bars, energy, and great performances. Shouts to both MCs!

i spotted like 10 Iron Solomons in the crowd

Wow organic with the pump fake at the end lol

That "I'm a killer at large an' testing me (large intestine) will be the reason you die just (digest) a little slower" bar from Gnojaj was fucking fire and slept on

Gjonaj is good. No doubt. But dude is SO gassed. Super close battle. I got Psycoses taking it 2-1, but I can see it going either way.

Welp , this is what the Facebook groups all been waiting for:)

this battle aged badly for psy ; gjonaj with the mean 30 (2021)

Psycoses outperformed Gjonaj here... Gjonaj is really really lucky Psycoses just doesn't have great execution 'cause he rapped circles around him and had far better rebuttals and setups-- his waldo scheme was hilarious and that third round was fire, I actually can't believe he lost tbh, Gjonaj really wasn't as impressive as he was in a lot of past battles I've seen, he got very lucky he lucked out on that judge decision IMO.

Gjonaj has too much substance for most of these guys. He's right. He's too smart for a lot of people. You can't watch him once and expect to catch everything.

Best battle of the event imo. Gjonaj killed it.

How organic gonna "Sike I lied" Psycoses like that when he was naming the winner! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Where gjonah at?? When is he coming back his pen was wild

Battles where money's on the line it's where it should be at, the winner makes more $ and it motivates both parties to perform to their highest level. The only problem is judging.

Large in testin' so Die just a lil slower?!!! FIRE

Bro... this was the dopest battle in a while. We need more bars like this.

Just here to let y'all know gjonaj is making a comeback. Yeah we all came back t get a daily dose of what use to be 🦾

Once again a HUGE thank you to KOTD for allowing me to use their platform! Shouts out to Gjonaj for making his contribution to making this classic! Instagram: mcpsycoses

That Buffalo Bill bar was NEEASSSTTY!

Psycoses is underrated. Breath control is a talent too. A lot of battlers say some of those style multis 3 times slower and get props. That battle was fire from both MCs

Gjo starts off normal then he screams... and it sounds annoying as fuck

1st gjonaj debatable pref edge 2nd gjonaj *only clear round 3rd gjo edge *psy rapping way to fast punches aren't landing gjo 2-1 or possible 3-0 nobody great replay value

I used to like psychosis.. But he trying too hard and Gjonaj ate him inside out 3-0..

If gjonaj came like this everytime he'd be a serious problem

"YOU GUYS READY? WHEN THE RULES ARE FINE U CHOOSE THE SPINE I HATE WHEN THEY CALL ME DIZASTER IT MAKES ME WANNA LOSE MY MIND" - the real Gjonaj

"You'll see the same body over and over......Agent Smith"- I'm done!!!

"im way better than him"

"i'd rather make you a current event, than rap about them." -Gjonaj

This was such a good battle maaaan!

I come back here often

Psycoses vs. Fresco and Gjonaj vs. Bigg K needs to happen. Pronto.

Did i just watch Dizaster watching Dizaster vs Dizaster

Psycoses was food, but his syntax sounds like he's posting on Reddit. Consistent, but chaotic. It's 2024. Gjonaj edged every round.

Such a preference battle great performance by both! 🔥🔥

Gjonaj Smoked his boots 3-0 it's levels to this shit

This was such a dope battle

"Half the Substance". That line from Gjonaj killed Psycoses right there.

Dizaster: Rapid-fire flow, loads of multis, out-of-control persona, comedic elements. Gjonaj: Paced flow, minimal multis, cold/calculating persona, no nonsense/low-comedy. Aside from their skin-color and aggressive delivery, they're really not that similar, guys.

Amazing battle.. both were on fire.. good shit!!!!

If Psychoses and Gjonaj fused together, DIzaster would be formed.

Wow. This was everything I hoped it would be. Gjonaj really seems to be shedding his "wanna-be Dizaster" reputation. And that's rightfully so; that guy is vicious in the ring. Diz isn't the only battler who can be angry. Psycosis clearly puts a shit ton of effort, time, and pride into his bars. These are two of my current favorites and what a treat to have them match up well. Forget clips this time it was 3-0 battle rap. 0-3 judges. Thank you for yet another banger KOTD!

2nd best battle of the event

gjonaj needed that L .. HES AN ALIEN WITH THE PEN NOW...hes looking at diz like i need that rematch ...

Psycosis lost automatically lost for calling Wolveeines blades titanium.

Probably one the best battles in kotd history to this day

it might be just me but ever since diz did his impressions of g I can't take him seriously. lmfao

Gjonaj’s bars age well, style is 🔥

One of the best battles I've seen...word play and rebuttals from both sides. Incredible.

This deserves more views.

FF TO 30:59 THANK ME LATER

God damnnn I'm stuck on dis battle, I watch this shit like 3× a day. Judges scored correctly imo

Psycoses seems nervous as fuck in this battle

2-1 Psycoses Dizaster done birthed a whole generation of battle rappers haha

How long does Guhjoenage cough up blood for after his battles?

maann, that Waldo shit is so corny.

Watching this now is still 🔥. Gjonaj was very underrated

Had to revisit this battle 2019 KOTD

Watch Psycoses at .75 speed. He's actually pretty dope.

I tried to get here before the corny jokes started.... Too late. Either way, very dope battle! They both fought & are 2 of the best new battlers. Close battle but Gjonaj won fair and square. Dude's pen is top notch and the Dizaster battle can't take nothing from that. Psy is dope as well! 🙏

how the fuck was this a split decision gjonaj 3-0'd him with his first round alone

Two guys willing to actually get a judged battle this was great

gjangjaje his voice is so irritating. what happened? Swallowed too much and fucked up your vocal cords?!?
