  • Fuck that..Mos Def is a fucking legend he would beast on him any day.

  • it was written dumbasses he messed up and started over with the same shit if you cant tell that then you obviously dont know about music or even have common sense

  • Kanye doesnt write his music so, suck it, fair kanye lost but he held his own against the great mos def!

    i bet if they freetsyled now 2012... i say kanye would take him out.. no disrespect!

  • Kanye West is still my favorite music artis, but damn it's hard to compete with Mos Def when it comes to freestyle.

  • mos def is easily the better freestyler, however Kanye West has the greatest hip hop albums of all time (sorry I'm a huge Kanye fan haha)

  • @fasterthanu1522 i agree. im also a huge kanye fan, and i beleive that he is the last hope that we have for saving hip hop.

  • wish i could freestyle with mos def

  • Both of em written....

  • @ystboy52 stop hatin

  • Comment removed

  • kanye dickriders chilllllll, mos held him down like BIG held brooklyn LOOOOOL

  • notice how Kanye got his eyes closed as he raps...tuning out everything...jus him and his mind

  • people sayin Mos won because of the respect that u have to give him for being him but actually i give the edge to Kanye...and for people who say he wrote his stuff then u dont know real rap...he stuttered and had to stop when his train of thought left at times...thats really spittin off the top.

  • so many comments about kanye being written when mos def used the first verse from champion requiem. i'm a huge mos def fan, but you can't just pick on kanye like that

  • Mos def is way above kanyes league.kanye does not have true skill.i came up in the 90's when hiphop was about true skill unlike the fake studio mc's today.nuff respect to mos def

  • well if this is a competetion, MOS DEF killin it, i dont think kanye really freestyles alot tho.

  • lol @ the guy who9 goes OKAY at 1:04

  • ayo kanye and mos are channeling like a muthafucka in this cipher...tru hip hop heads right there

  • I give Ye credit for trying! mos def is the shit

  • i like seeing kanye in a lil cipha with mos. i would not call this a battle though. that jus getting people thinkin competitively. they are straight up blessin each other

  • Mos def is so dope.

  • kanye acts just like a little kid...1:40 ...the way he looked around to see who was watching

  • Let me put it like this Mos def, Lupe Fiasco, Big pun, Canibus, and others have been on somethin' called a cypher and repeated verses from their songs. And this is just a good video who cares which ones verse was better. Most of yall commentin' like you dont like kanye.

  • Could you imagine having to freestyle with Mos Def?? Damn that would be intimidating, Kanye sounded written, no disrespect

  • @fjahmad100 word but if u listen they're just spitting verses from their old albums and mixtapes

  • @pinoythinker31 yeah it sounds like that, either way it's dope haha

  • @fjahmad100 They are both 100% pre-written dude, but its on the spot, un-planned. So its still freestyle. Just not head-top freestyle.

  • @Zeph100 yeah man, your right there still impressive regardless

  • Kanye sounds like 50 tyson

  • Part 3 plz

  • The white girl in the back has more flow the Dame Dash right now lol

  • kanya yay whateva hip hop wins real wordplay wins sorry kanwho cant do like mos can hands down you goota be dumb to think otherwise albums mean nothing we live in a world where catchy shit sells not realness again realness.Can you relate to kanwho bet you cant as much as mos def.mos wins hes a real Emceeee

    go back to your preschool knowledge

  • thats why kanye got mos in G.O.O.D music. 2 times if u love G.O.O.D music!!!

  • Where is the 3rd part?

  • the dude in the background that screams out "okay" thought... whats the point of that??

  • why are some of you guys hatin on 'ye? kanye is in mos' circle

  • @SPIDER --- if you consider st st st studdering consistent---YOU DUMBFUCK!! MOS DEF is better hands down....Kanye needs to stick to Producing and stop fantiscising about being a mc.

  • both are different..not even competing so stop saying who 'won'...Kanye goes in and is way more consistent then Mos Def...call me a liar.

  • @SPIDER youre joking right? i mean kanye is dope and all but... c'mon man its Mos Def. he murdered.

  • @SPIDER liar.

  • @SPIDER you ARE a liar, i know they weren't competing but how can you say kanye was "way more consistent"? mos def was goin hard the whole time and kanye even tripped up in the middle of a verse

  • @GalloBeats

    consistent on albums lol. Lyrically and Musically Kanye murder's Mos Def. Mos Def has messages yes but doesn't appeal to many because it's the same old shit every time.

  • @SPIDER I call bullshit, maybe in terms of production kanye wins but mos def is and always will be one of the genres lyrical greats in my mind, and i'd say his albums have been fairly consistent, maybe not after black star and black on both sides but it would be hard as HELL to put out a career's worth of shit on that level

  • @GalloBeats

    well who's career is more credible? Kanye wins, nuff said.

  • @SPIDER in what way is mos def's career not 'credible'?

  • @GalloBeats

    I said more credible not 'not at all'. Kanye West winds, stop being butt hurt, I'm done arguing with your ass lol

  • @SPIDER whatever, sounds to me like you just can't back your shit up

  • I don't get why people are hating on Kanye. Whether or not Mos won this shit, he still went in.

  • @SuperLumberjacker. Uuummmm no!!! Ppl only listen to soulja boy because his music is "catchy" a simple bass and snare beat with a melody that moves up or down a few chord progressions. Mozart on the other had is so complex the mind can't figure it out just by listening to it. That's why ppl listen to soulja boy because it's catchy simple and 3:00 minutes long, compared to the stuff Mozart wrote.

  • 62 People are Kanye fans!

  • who won? mos def mos def

  • Mos Def is a better freestyler for sure, but how do we measure a better artist? I guess with awards and success? 14 grammys and millions of albums sold? Yeah he sucks....

  • @SuperLumberjacker if awards and success defined the better artist, soulja boy would also be better than mos def. that logic is pure retardation.

  • @MrUndacovabrova The job on an artist is to bring experiences to the observers of their art. If an artist makes people feel something, they have done their job. The success of an artist has to be measured by the preferences of the observer. If you make all the people in the world listen to Soulja Boy and Mozart, and after listening to both, people would prefer listening to Soulja Boy, that would make Soulja Boy the better artist.

  • @SuperLumberjacker You seem to have "performer" confused with "artist".

  • Mos Def wins without even trying.

  • Kanye straight written smh wack emcee

  • i cant ignore kanye studdering

  • kanye you studder'n peice of shit

  • Dwele KanYe Hold On

  • 1:06 lololol

  • @tompetty1997 eminem

    

  • Man people need to realize Ye is one of the biggest ARTIST EVER he has everythign u cant expect this "hungry rap" anymore

  • Damn Dash standing there like he really rap lol

  • dopest artist shouts to yeezy and most def checkout arcani-say whats real show support thinks

  • Kanye looking like yeea nigga watever my shit better!lmao

  • there both dope

  • like a guy with no muscles they'll never work out at all

  • cala108 It's such freestyle profiling on raping hitrecording.

  • Mos Def owned Kanye!

  • Where the fuck is part 3?

  • mos def

  • i like, mos def tha shit so is kanye

  • i like

  • im a kanye west fan but mos def won...by far

  • There's no part 3...

  • @TheFeelester there was a part 3 actually. and Kanye was actually spitting the verse he did for Maybach Music 2. It's weird, cuz I couldn't find part 3 after Maybach Music 2 came out. lol i think He wants to hide it or something.

  • mos's shit wz written too. danger album. its good gr8 not free

  • MOS DEF KILLED IT !!

  • Comment removed

  • Kanye's verse was sort of cool, but Mos Def just killed him. How does Def even do that?

  • Mos Def: 2

    Kanye West: 0

  • @nomorepain81 nah bruh

    West 1

    Def 2

  • @nomorepain81 Nah Ye did his thing

  • @nomorepain81 this is not a freestyle dumbass, this is a cypher, they both went hard

  • @lalaladuyeniie A cypher is a freestyle.....

  • @nomorepain81

    Not nessacricly. A freestyle can be a cypher, but cyphers don't have to be freestyles. The BET cyphers are perfect examples.

    WEll thats just to me, I always though Cyphers where just songs without a direction/meaning. Just a bunch of dudes rhyming.

  • @MCEYun i cipha is a circle. emcees make a cipha and rhyme. freestyle or written. you never know what people respect, so if you drop a written you usually imply it was written. otherwise people look @ you sketchy later like you tried to pull it off as a freestyle to make you look better. no cipher is basically a improvised group. you in or your out, you beatbox you rhyme. i probly been in like 3,000 ciphers lol. like 15 years ago it was like every night

  • @nomorepain81 NAW KANYE GOT THE 2ND ROUND, LYRICS WISE.

  • Mos Def- that's a boy for years. Love the white lady, kinda not sure what's happenin. ha ha

  • Kanye & Mos...y'all really wanna compare? Mos Is shining and Kanye was whining...

  • @ljallday23 bullshyt Kanye da best aint nobody rippin my nigga

  • @ljallday23 Is that why he is doing songs with Bruno Mars now?

  • @ljallday23 wtf? JUST LEAVE!

  • Mos Def b play.

  • "Part 3 coming soon" 4 years later still not here yet...

  • where's part 3??

  • Mos Def!

  • Kanye!

  • This is like the best thing I've ever seen. O_O I love them both, especially my boy Mos Def

  • Mos Def is smoother and didn't ever skip over himself, winner

  • mos def did a verse from one of his songs so ya it's written lol

  • Kanye loved Dante's verse!

  • Please take a minute to read this:I am an artist out of Northern California.My music comes from the truest piece of mind and soul I derive from. Its formed from an open-minded perspective that fuels my creativity. It's positive,even if it's the darkest thing you've heard.It is all from my love for music. So if you can,take a look at my music.If you smoke weed-you will REALLY like my music lol Thank you,I love you all! For those who come,I did it for you! Thank you.. Stay Positive...

  • @OutFlowProductions you put any mixtapes out yet? cuz independent music sells like crazy here in baltimore

  • @JuLiAn31692 I'm trying to build myself a fan base.. But then I'm going to release a free mixtape.. It will be classic, just stay with me... Stay Positive, and thanks for your recomendation man, I really appreciate this...

  • Both of them are sit MC's but Kanye's a better lyricist imo, listen to his other tracks. Mos Def's message is pretty much the same but I still love him.

  • the white woman she's like .. i dunno WTF they're talking about all i know that i'm hungry

  • they werent written stfu

  • @gucciiboyy mos def's were written and memorized.. listen to Mos Def - Champion Requiem..

  • @Dani47pro alright bet

  • kanye fucked up a couple times so i think he was legit off the top of his dome. mos def is just smooth as fuck. he is underrated but definitely not hated. he better that kanye

  • @lotrman91 nah kanye was spittin half writtens.

  • @requiemforacloud really? couldnt recognize the songs

  • @requiemforacloud both were written

  • Mos def was I think off the top of his head . West was def written before hand. Winner mos def

  • @paulenyce they were both definitely writtens

    

  • They're not battling, just cooling out.

    Mosdef flow is tighter by far, he just aint as commercial/ radio friendly as Mr. West!

  • @tivan10001 neither did mos, they were trading verses not freestyling.

  • Mos Def raped him

  • @saidox that's a funny way to describe such a friendly exchange lol

  • kanye west didnt freestyle dat i hate wen rappers do that

  • @tivan10001 "Freestyle" and "off the top" are 2 different things. Freestyle actually just means "free" of "style", or a verse not about anything specifically. No subject. A freestyle can be off the top or prepared.

  • who is that retard at 1:07??

  • That's Dame Dash He was the co-founder of Roc-A -Fellta records. He sold his share for 10 million in 2004 after Jay Z got crushed by Nas and the label was suffering some in house problems. I guess he never really believed Kanye would blow up like he did and Jay Z could come back stronger. I guess he for got where he came from because people doubted Jay Z the same way before he signed him.

  • damn !!! mos def destroy kayne

  • Of Course Kanye still holds his skills regardless of what you think of his new music, Its like Will I Am (Black eyed peas). Their new stuff sucks but Will when he bothers is a pretty damn slick freestyler

  • Mos's verse right there was on some deep shit, whole notha level shit

  • Mos def won

    

  • even though kanye is super mainstream and super rich and stuff, im sure he can still spit this fire. and mos is amazing

  • My work is personal,

    I'm a working person I put in work I work with purpose

  • @tpat77 mos def money is not as large as kanye. Mos def wasn't even hot back in the old school. Kanye has always been hot.

  • mos def is way more old school though so you obviously don't now rap.

  • Up load part 3!!!!

  • Kanye west is way better than mos def.

  • @kingnificent nope

  • mos def does work, and kanye's verse is written......

  • @pottsman420 They're both written. They were just exchanging verses...

  • Kanye just told Mos he was good looking. He automatically loses.

  • Kanye is a good rapper. You cant just look at all the retarded shit he's done in public.

  • you uploaded this shit 4 years ago, where is part 3 it should be uploaded by now.

  • @greezyp11 HELL YEA, WERE IS PART3!!!!!!!!

    

  • kanye signed mos def! did yall know that!?

  • looks like a fun time

  • I've been watching this for like two years, part 3 needs to be released.

  • Too much hate on kanye...he just has a totally different style to mos, and it goes without saying no where near as complex as mos's freestyles, but dont forget moshas been an mc for over 2 decades, kanyes farily newer blood and he started off producing, not rapping...so i dont think hes that bad at all, and hes got a real original style regardless.

  • @swaggerjacker94 me too lol.!

  • Mos Def for real!!!!

  • how did these black boys managed to stay out of a jail ?

  • @cirosuperiore ask them, i got a question for you, why do all white hoes get black cock OCD?

  • @cirosuperiore sheer skill

  • mos def is da realest out on tha street

  • won't hear Kanye spit shit like this nowadays...

  • @EspioChaos

    Kanye got tired of thinking hard.... Mos Def still murdered him though lol

  • @EspioChaos Really? MBDTF had some of his strongest tracks lyrically

  • @EspioChaos kanye can still spit i don't get why people say he can't... look beyond the radio tracks brutha i mean his styles definitely different but hip hop changes too and it's impressive that he can stay relevant year after year

  • @EspioChaos just put in late registration

  • @EspioChaos i know i hate that the money got to him

  • mos def is one the most articulate rappers to do it hes crazy

  • Im really feeln Mos' hat. And oh yeah HE FUCKN KILLED IT!!!

  • Kanye should've pulled out a gun and blown his brains out after mighty-mos finished!

  • THEIR BOTH activist for the black community.

  • I don't know why people are taking this serious, Mos Def respects Kanye to the fullest, everyone else is commenting just on the outside looking in. This was all in good fun, it wasn't Cassidy vs. Freeway. It was funny seeing Damon laugh at the VIP line, shout out to Reasonable Doubt

  • O man, when noobwest is rapping you can see Mos Def with his head down going 'wtf is this BS he's spitt'n'

  • Part 2 has more views than part 1.....wow

  • hold me down like BIG held brooklyn

  • @frenchythesurfer1991 mossss defffff reall ass shit

  • "I was just that broke dude that worked next door but can you please donate some sex to the poor?" Kanye killed that shit

  • YOU WILL CERTAINLY BE IN MY PRAYERS KANYE! HOPE YOU DONT END UP IN A ONE BEDROOM....MOS WILL PAY YO RENT DONT TRIP... HAHA!

  • LOL look at the white lady in the back, shes like "look at this stupid ass niggas" just laugh and act like i know what there talkin about

  • @ISUPPORTTHEKKK you look even more stupid cause its "look at these stupid ass niggas" use proper english next time.

  • @pottsman420 Lmao; How about use proper grammer in your phrases. You're a dumbass for correcting someone who's getting their Masters in English. How about this get out of your parents basement and quite jerking off to Brittany Spears videos. There is such thing as the outside world; I suggest you experience it, or better yet stay in you're basement you American peice of shit.

  • @ISUPPORTTHEKKK ok im sure you getting a masters, im an atrophysicist and going to the moon tomorrow. stop being racist also , white people are just like black people some are good some are bad so take that "masters" degree and shuff it up your ,already been raped by america, english ass.
