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
It is crazy how everything he says sorta flows into what he says next. There’s no switching no order of bars with him, which goes into your point as well. The craftsmanship is crazy
@@GavinF003 I can’t even fathom how you thought he won , even on initial watch. Psychoses needs to clean it up. Too All Over the place and not strong at all.
"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.
Why was he able to do 3 full rounds against this guy, but not dizaster? But you guys love gjonaj? Why? I thought he was shit, he never dissed his opponent… he’s is about as interesting as a toilet brush
That's light compared to most the shit gjonaj says. His bars vs raptor were nutty af. I loved his early stuff too when he battled born he had some crazy ish
@@dragonqueen6233 not stolen, that one's got an entire different context/setup. there's thousands of re-used bars in battle rap. don't mean they're stolen whatsoever
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
"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.
I didn't like it at all at first but then I watched this battle on acid and his voice sounded like the fucking devil! Ever since then I've loved his voice.
When I first heard it I was like nah skip.. but after I actually heard what he was saying in a compilation video.. i was like yo.. doesn't bother me anymore
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.
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 🌶
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!
Get the fuck off of comment threads you don't realize how that ruins your brand . Then u cry about being overlooked ... It's because your corny . Tell me I'm wrong . Lol stupidasslittleboy
+2lowkey100 Your right --- spot on !!! I guess all the other battle rappers that talk about how stupid he looks constantly on comment boards They must want attention too- considering they are all bigger names than him . Lol ... I don't see other battle rappers in here commenting ... The point is that is fucks up your brand when u act like a Stan instead of a star ... Other battle rappers are fans they don't comment EVER- let alone EVERYDAY LIKE THIS IDIOT ! Drake is a fan . He not commenting... Y'all only sticking up for him cause u hope he gives u some cookies ... So who is pathetic ... Me? Or DNA and other battle rappers that are bigger than him that say he shouldn't be on comment boards? They must just be looking for attention too even tho they are WAY bigger than him... Lol ignorance is bliss ... Know what u talking about before u start sucking someone's dick that u never met before
You REALLY are the logo of this battle rap sht Danny! I came back to this in reminiscing of Gjonai and seen you in the comments. Going to you vs Gjonai next
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
ima show y'all what the difference is, cause feeding the lamb to the wolves seems ignorant, but what's a shepherd suppose to do when his sheep ain't listening🔥🔥🔥
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
+Ö - G R E A T E S T - Ö Are you aware that all forms of art borrow and sample from other works? This has been true for longer than you or I have been alive. You can attribute Eminem's impact on rap to MANY MANY rappers and battle rappers. They didn't "jack" his flow. They flow similar, even borrowed the technique whether consciously or sub consciously. I wouldn't even say Gjonaj sounds like Em, but Diz definitely does. Not jacking though.
They have a common sound but they're both original. It's a shame new talent can't make it without being cast under the shadow of someone who came before due to a slight resemblance. #BDot problems.
+Ö - G R E A T E S T - Ö Exactly what this man said 👆(E=MC) . There's nothing wrong with being an influence, but it's bad when as soon as someone thinks Gjonaj, Dizaster comes up. And when Diz is brought up, Eminem is first to mind, etc. Sorry but a rap IQ has nothing to do with appreciating talent how it is regardless of how he/she compares to those who came prior.
+E = MC HAMMER Well it seems there isn't even a debate since all 3 of us is saying the same thing lmao. I didn't bother to read anything prior my comment so yeah I didn't see what was said.
+jriod2 I dont think that was a freestyle. I think he had a darwin line planned and it just happened to work out that he could use it to rebuttal Gjonaj's
+William Pennington true that, he has had better battles as well where he was composed but his body movement in this one was whack and screamed of nervousness...gjonai took this one EARLY
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.
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.
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.
+il100374 How was it premeditated if it was a rebuttal to Gjonaj's whole bar? Are you saying him and Gjonaj told each other their bars before the battle?
il100374 I just think that a freestyle is a freestyle whether or not dudes grab on to the same structure. I give them credit since the majority of battlers can't even freestyle now days. I personally gave Psy points for mid round rebuttal, which is rare, most battlers can't do that. DNA is a legend of battle rap, whether pre-med or not you have to admit that it's not that easy to do. If it was then a lot of other battlers would do it.
That darwinism rebuttal he had was sick too. Just too bad he got slept on, his delivery is sloppy, but he was spitting facts about reaching bars that dont make sense gjanaj had no response to it except keep doing it lol
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.
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
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
"You didn't realise I'm a killer at large and testin' (large intestine) me will be the reason you die just (digest) a little slower." That's dope and clean as fuck.
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!
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
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.
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
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!
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 Won 2-1, Great Battle tho, Phy did his thing but his style doesnt make it easy to leave quotables for the fans to remember. Gjonaj can still come harder tho, and he will need to if he ever wants to get back on smack! him vs Mike P would be cool! Similar styles. Good Job KOTD!
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
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! 🙏
It's so weird that both of these guys disappeared from battle rap. I heard that Gjonaj retired or something like that, but does anyone know what happened to Psycoses?
