(“My suggestion of “Bruvs Getting Slaughtered” was somehow rejected.”)

I won’t lie and say I know who a lot of these guys are because I don’t, but man, Illmaculate Vs. Eurgh is an excellent matchup. After the UK bruvs lost against Zeale & Phranchyze Wapps & Juce back in 2007 at the NY WRC finals, the chances of them facing off against either Illmaculate or TheSaurus seemed very unlikely. Fortunately, around 3 years later, Eurgh put together the Don’t Flop league which is making these fantasy matchups possible. With Arkaic still slated to battle TheSaurus and now Illmaculate going against Eurgh, the UK scene is contributing loads to the battle community as a whole. Major props to the bruvs across the pond for this.

Eurgh’s performance against Evil was incredibly impressive and definitely hints at the damage he might do to Illmaculate. Illmaculate, fresh off his victory over TheSaurus himself is always a threat and this match will prove to be very competitive.

NoCanDo Vs. Oshea is also going to be amazing, but I personally place NoCan somewhere along the lines of -350/-400 and if the battle were in America it’d be even higher.

I have no clue who Verb T is, but Cruger is probably my favorite of the bruv battle team so I’ll definitely be watching that. Again, props to Eurgh for getting together another slick event and setting up really awesome matches with blokes and yanks.

I had to dig deep in the archives to find this one. This is footage from the finals of The Cypher’s 2 on 2 MC Battle in San Diego, CA. This marks the first time that Illmac ever went down to Cali and mingled with the battlers. I wish the footage was better, but that damn Phillip Drummond uploads in the worst qualities! Okwerdz & NoCanDo make a pretty great team up here, but in the end, the short one and Bo-Rat were too much for them.

If you crank up the volume you can hear some great quotable lines from these veterans in their primal stages. This battle was filmed during a time when calling someone a Keebler elf was a hot line.

Should be a nasty event! Any predictions?

This is a super old match from Battle At The Barb. I really love it. “This man do, nothing/ Cause it was a fluke that you served NoCanDo, DAMN YOU!” Lots of hilarious lines from both MCs. Oh, and Illmac’s opener was “I’m sure you all know he won Brainstorm/ But what you didn’t know is he spent the 2 & a half G’s on gay porn.” Sorry about it being cut off.

Enjoy! Also, if you dig his battles, check out this post for a chance to win a copy of Illmaculate’s “The Rain Check Mixtape”.

The man who once exclaimed, “I’d beat you at your own game, but hockey’s for fags!” as well as claiming Canada’s largest export was “sissies“, was recently spotted at a Canuck’s game in Vancouver, B.C. One can only assume that Illmaculate is a traitor heading for America’s hat to dodge taxes. We’ll keep you updated.

Featuring performances from several prominent Fresh Coast artists, as well as slew of street battles between veterans and new up-and-comers, this highly anticipated New Year’s Eve event in Portland, OR is sure to be one to remember.
