Massacre of the Bay: In an international match of epic proportions, WRC MVP, Anecdote makes his way out from Sydney, AUS to face the Los Angeles veteran and revered freestyler Nocando.
That battle was extremely close. Both brought it strong, and had hilarious freestyles to boot. I wouldn't have been disappointed or calling bullshit if it went Anecdote's way. That guy's a beast.
Glad to see Anecdote in Grind Time. I haven't seen him battle since the WRC 2007. I have always liked him. Having said that, Nocan won the battle, but Anecdote kept it competitive.
Grindtime needs more battles like this... a good balance of writtens and freestyle. I kind of like the WRC days for that reason more than recent Grindtime battles.
I love the variety of battlerappers that you see 2 whole different MC's go at eachother at a highly accepted level. I love the way Anecdote just freestyled that fishing line~line. Hard battle, would have given it to NoCanDo for having more punches towards Anecdote.
Great battle. Nocando in 3 for this one, but Anecdote brought some heat. Gotta give him credit for going off the head in round 2. Nocando did the same in round 3. Lush is funny as hell. "On my right, he flew in all the way from Australia and boy are his arms tired....".
"you wanna predict the line, you think your spitten mine, but your so fucking skinny you could lose a fight to fishing line, your bitch is mine" idk why that was so funny, but it killed me.
Very good battle. Really dug the improvisation from both. Anecdote needs to make it stateside more. Nocando's one of the best people battlers, period. And Plex was blazed as fuck throughout this battle. You can just tell.
im a huge nocando fan he's probly my favorite rapper in grind time with illmac saurus n hollow right behind him and he's one of my favorite rappers period but this shoulda went to o.t. dont sleep on anecdote!!
Nice Match. Awesome to see dote fly all the way out to do this. I thought Dote would prepared for this one. He is still a beast but I gave it too Nocando.
A wonderful mixture of preparation and freestyle from both emcees. While Anecdote is awesome, Nocando had quotables in every round and won. A very entertaining battle.
Does anyone know what happened with the Redbull Emsee competition??? I wanna see footage of that shit. I know nocan won the SF comp but what happened in Detroit? Or is it still happening?????
Sucks that this battle only got 36k views.... Nocando is one of the best out there and Anecdote came nice too.... dudes like SK, Con, and dumb get all the views, but people miss out on beasts like Nocando.
Not gonna lie, Anecdote's line about Nocan using Rhetoric as a measuring stick got slept on hard!
nocando a legend
Nocan was so good mixing his writtens and frees. I really miss him. His stuff still holds up better than most from back then.
yooooooo anecdote!!! this was one of the nicest freestylers during the WRC! this should be dope. aite, time to watch
Jheze
Nocando's 2nd round was fire
That was one of the better battles I have seen. The way they flipped the lines on each other was great. Plus there was a lot of off-top freestyling.
Nocan's lyricism is awesome. His Kid Twist pants line had Stareater hyped like crazy jumpin up and down lol.
That battle was extremely close. Both brought it strong, and had hilarious freestyles to boot. I wouldn't have been disappointed or calling bullshit if it went Anecdote's way. That guy's a beast.
"if she is hungry she can get fed let her suck the pickle just a little till i pumpernickel when the butter cripples down my french bread "

Finally, some real MC's. couldn't tell writtens from freestyle. The rebuttals were crazy
Grindtime needs more battles like this... a good balance of writtens and freestyle. I kind of like the WRC days for that reason more than recent Grindtime battles.
nocan never dissapoints.
His freestyling is on another level.
I am baffled that this battle doesn't have more views.
6:55 Love these kinds of crowd reactions
i love how two guys can be in such a big event but still have fun, its awesome
Great Battle. Havent seen one in awhile thanks nocan and anecdote
Illest battle from M.O.B. Had everything, freestyle, flips, dope writtens. One of my favorites
gotta say, I've seen that 9-5 eyewear intro at least a few hundred times by now, and it never gets old..lol
i love the freestyle rebuttals in this. old school shit
I always liked nocan man dude is so unique with word play. That is what makes him stand out from the rest
YAYYY FREESTYLING IS BACK!
Bring 360 to Grind Time though. He's mad funny.
Both came nice, but Nocando clearly took this. Some of Anecdote's lines just didn't really hit hard, but I liked the flips by both. Great battle!
LMFAO @ Nocando throwing the phone in the air at the end....XD
I love the variety of battlerappers that you see 2 whole different MC's go at eachother at a highly accepted level. I love the way Anecdote just freestyled that fishing line~line. Hard battle, would have given it to NoCanDo for having more punches towards Anecdote.
That was super classic what Lush did in the end.much respect
anecdote had some sick rhymes, they dont hit as hard cuz of his accent, but it forces him into multis that dont sound robotic.
"shout out to my dude ray" is the funniest thing i've heard on any grindtime and it wasn't even a bar.
Lush " Do u have service overseas it dosent matter Nocando wins" had me floored Lush is a great host
I DEMAND MORE 9FIVE COMMERCIALS!!
Other battlers watch Nocan like he's a doing a magic trick. Such a rapper's rapper. Shame he isn't battling these days. He got jerked so much.
Great battle. Nocando in 3 for this one, but Anecdote brought some heat. Gotta give him credit for going off the head in round 2. Nocando did the same in round 3. Lush is funny as hell. "On my right, he flew in all the way from Australia and boy are his arms tired....".
Great battle. That definitely needed an extra round. Props to both
Raw talent on both sides, Nocando is the best.
best battle I've seen in a while....I would say next nocando vs soul khan.? props to Aus.!
"Do you get service over seas?" "Oh well it doesnt matter because No Can took this battle.," Haha lush is crazy
nocando is one of the realest emcees left, one of the few that can actually freestyle well in a battle
Really good battle. that dude represented for Aus hardcore. Big ups
STREET FIGHTER T-SHIRT! THAT'S THAT ISH!
Holy shit this is the nocando that we all know. When dude is on his A game it doesn't matter who's standing across from him.
this battle should have more views it's got all aspects and it's one of the better ones from MOB
finally a m.o.b. battle that didn't disappoint, NoCanDo is a beast
Nocando was unstoppable here. Dope battle.
i had to replay nocan's 2nd verse 6 times first time i viewed this
my 3 fav battle rappers is dumb, saht, and nocan because their freestyles are sick
"you wanna predict the line, you think your spitten mine, but your so fucking skinny you could lose a fight to fishing line, your bitch is mine"
idk why that was so funny, but it killed me.
nocando is unlike any other rapper with his style and swagger
Very good battle. Really dug the improvisation from both. Anecdote needs to make it stateside more. Nocando's one of the best people battlers, period.
And Plex was blazed as fuck throughout this battle. You can just tell.
hahaha the phone in the air at the end is great and hella random
This was a GT classic.
"....shout out to my dude Ray, ya na'meen" LMAO @ Plex. That nigga Ray dope as shit. lol
im a huge nocando fan he's probly my favorite rapper in grind time with illmac saurus n hollow right behind him and he's one of my favorite rappers period but this shoulda went to o.t. dont sleep on anecdote!!
That car/whip bar was extremely slept on.
Either the crowd was slow as hell or they were dumb as hell.
That Pac Man line was dope!
anecdotes dope he should have more battles on grindtime
australia v u.s. battles are the most evenly matched
I miss GrindTimeNow :(
amazing frees mixed with good writtens. Good fucking battle.
Nice Match. Awesome to see dote fly all the way out to do this. I thought Dote would prepared for this one. He is still a beast but I gave it too Nocando.
good battle. Nocando needs to come in and wreck these fools. Someone need to set up the Saurus and Nocan asap. That battle needs to happen.
A wonderful mixture of preparation and freestyle from both emcees. While Anecdote is awesome, Nocando had quotables in every round and won. A very entertaining battle.
never herd of Anecdote but he came off nice
but Nocando just got crazy rhymes & is insane with the freestyle
1st.
Good battle. Nocando was on POINT.
"Let her suck the pickle, just a little, 'till i pump her nickle and the butter trickles down to my french bread" - NoCanDo GOD DAMN! LMAO
Props to Anecdote!
Finally a decent fucking battle. Nocando held it the fuck down!
NoCan killed this
Props to Anecdote for representing Oz, tough crew to beat and crowd to please. Noice 1 Bruva!
I died when Nocando threw the cell phone.
I died again when I saw Lush One's face.
can someone tell me what is the title for the 9five eye wear commercial
these dudes be mad funny. i been wondering where nocan went. dude took a sabbatical and came back solid.
Nocan's free's are second to none
Love Two Track Mind, Shit's So Dope.
the fishing line free was dope
Nocando is the best off the top freestyler
LMAOOOO STAR AT 7:42 @ THE KID TWIST PANTS BAR
Why is everyone hating Anecdote. I think he's pretty beast..
damn. ridiculous battle.
Noncando's second round was classic IMO.
mothers day gifts, sick he predicted it
lussh looked pissed when nocan through the phone in the air at the end
I don't get the am bah lamps line! Can anyone explain?
Nocando is so underrated....
Stareater loves it. 7:40
@gregakgunner
Nocando's Intro - Hurry Up and Wait
Anecdote's Intro - Want Flames?
anecdote soundin like kano from mortal kombat
Does anyone know what happened with the Redbull Emsee competition??? I wanna see footage of that shit. I know nocan won the SF comp but what happened in Detroit? Or is it still happening?????
im glad nocando sharpened his game
Anecdote is dope.
cot damn @ nocan
anec is a monster but nocando was on another level this battle
NoCan, 3rd verse was amazing
DAAANG! THAT FOO SAID INSOFAR!! GIVE IT TO EM!
Nocando vs Hollow da Don?? That would be dope
west coast grind times tryouts must be really easy to win
Sucks that this battle only got 36k views.... Nocando is one of the best out there and Anecdote came nice too.... dudes like SK, Con, and dumb get all the views, but people miss out on beasts like Nocando.
hahaha how many videos in a row will i get to write
"CALL THE AMBER LAMPS!"
Nocando vs dumbfounddead
Would be a crazy entertaining battle
Nocan was a beast in this battle
@MrStonewall1
He got a lot of crowd reaction for someone who was slept on.
