Franco vs The Saurus Scribble Jam 2007

[VerballyGifted]

easily a classic and one of my fav Scribble Jam battles. Franco is a beast. 

[BasementKilling]

Franco usually ill when the beat is ill

[greenilizer]

saurus had round 1

[Diabolicnop]

Franco is wassup

[DoctaBoomHowa]

thesaurus best rapper/flipper since ever... props to you bro.. and you and illmac tore it up in 2v2 battles..

[marino4691]

lol franco doubled the sauruss whole part

[TheWrongEnemy]

Franco completely ate Thesaurus.

[detectivemat]

predicted or not, that remote control car line is hilarious.

[XxXbadnewsxXx]

franco won. the saurus was going thru puberty . as he got older he started to sound better

[thistletilladie]

@XxXbadnewsxXx Are you serious?

[XxXbadnewsxXx]

@thistletilladie yeah look at him here. he scratches his throat every time he sings

[thistletilladie]

@XxXbadnewsxXx Lol ok.

[martinlancer55]

Franco didn't predict the bar, he just remembered it. thesaurus obviously recycled it and Franco had heard it before

[XxXbadnewsxXx]

@martinlancer55 he didnt predicted but what franco said at first made saurus look bad

[OJmastersz]

franco looks full of energy i think he has ADHD

[XxXbadnewsxXx]

@OJmastersz lol i know he looks like it lmfao

[OJmastersz]

this is the funniest rap battle i have seen. ill take your mom and ill fuck her up lmfao

[OJmastersz]

did anyone notice when fraco predicted his line they moved their eyebrows at the same time up and down?

[OJmastersz]

omg Saurus first line was so fucking funny!!!!!!

[sykull]

The next person that says I smell funny will be breathing through a respirator! Also, Franco didn't predict it, TheSaurus already used it on him at Tourette's back in the day.

[DevinHesterMattForte]

I love how Franco just shakes his head after every bar the saurus says.

[jasano1234]

FUCK HE is good at predicting

[Ch1ldsplay]

what beat?

[Ch1ldsplay]

how in the holy mum of F did franco predict that line? insane

[Ivanchukov1]

Newjacks suck, nobody is a genuine battle emcee, if they are they arent worth speaking about past scibble 2000.

[5treetboy]

dam thesaurs sounds horrible is he sick

[PRtoRP]

@5treetboy

Nahh cause if you don't know Scribble Jam is a whole day of battling and he always puts energy in it so he sort of lost his voice. Hop that helps.

[5treetboy]

@PRtoRP damn a whole dayyy,

[PRtoRP]

@5treetboy

Ye ye and this shows how creative Franco is while The Saurus unfortunately lost his energy, cool, and recycled.

[Gamebreaker2887]

"Your punk ass is fat, and you're overweight." Franco is wack, The Saurus won the first round easily and would have gotten that decision if he didn't wear down and recycle.

[Representt]

1:44

PREDICTED THE HELL OUTTA HIM LMAO

TheSaurus is a beast though.

[OJmastersz]

@Representt hahahahahahahaha u copied the name from the title haha

[HDibbles]

Can't believe they gave Franco the win I still think Thesaurus trumped him

[n3rds3y3vi3w]

best prediction ever...

[ThaVMan]

That prediction was a wise move, especially after the "it ain't hard to predict" shit...

but Saurus was def. jerked here.

Clearly a case of judges wanting someone else to win that year.

[NagehSamser]

@Weyov2000 Fuck Chuck Berry, my granddaddy ivented it with his gutair in Texas, then some black stole it from in, true story. Name a black rapper better than a white rapper.

[3nforcerxX]

@NagehSamser "Name a black rapper better than a white rapper" - Isn't that fucking easy?

[NagehSamser]

@3nforcerxX Well? I'm waiting.....

[3nforcerxX]

@NagehSamser If you're talking 'battle rapping,' then NoCanDo, Aye Verb, Loaded Lux, Math, Hollow Da Don, Supernatural, MC Juice, etc are better than a lot of white battle rappers. If you're talking about 'rapping,' then Nas is better than your favorites period. Judging by your other comments, your kind shouldn't even be listening to hip hop. P.S. Franco lost to NoCanDo in the 2007 Scribble Jam finals.

[NagehSamser]

@3nforcerxX No i said rapper.

Nas would be nobody without a white rapper (MC Serch), without him Nas would not of released Illmatic and who is the fuck is Nas without Illmatic.

I'm talking about currently and currently there are white rappers better than Nas. Please go.

[NagehSamser]

@Weyov2000 Ikon the verbal hologram and RA the rugged man suck? ok. So who are these black rock bands white people copied? Elvis and Bill Haley were black? Interesting

[NagehSamser]

@Weyov2000 A lot of white people make black people look foolish when they rap and i'm not just talking about eminem.

[campKILLer]

@RandomUsername559 Nice username. Fresno native too?

[DaAlphaOmega]

franco is a poser

[KidFromNewYork]

LOL that prediction is fucking hilarious, I have to keep watching it.

[illexpreshun]

Franco predicting the entire "remote control car, drove him so far" line was very impressive.

[nineballssj9]

franco is weird u seen how he was holding the mic 1:25

[RandomUsername559]

@nineballssj9 He wanted to get his last line out before Kevin Beacham took the mic away.

[nineballssj9]

lol i know

[westnyleproductions]

Yeah i have to agree, Thesaurus ran out of material it looks like...

[dkgroove]

I'm shocked anyone thinks this was even close. Nothing The Saurus said was remotely good. Re-used lines and Franco's 2nd round was just the knife in the heart.

[PAYPAMAKA]

@dkgroove

thats really biased. it was close. the saurus had witty punch lines. the thing that sealed the deal for franco was that he outstyled him and called that line.

[420honky420]

Franco's second verse put him over the top as well as the prediction, but if it was judged by round:

Round 1 Thesaurus

Round 2 Franco

I would say overtime in that case

[rmmarti2]

Ok, id like to put this to rest. Every time you see Franco shake his head after one of The Saurus' punches, it is because he has used it against him before. That was a good 90% of the punches in this battle. I say Franco got sick of all the recycling and decides to just ad lib another punch he heard before. "How the fuck did his remote control car, drove him so far."

[howartduck1]

1:41

[Wtfitst2daj]

"all the cock you sucked your mouth is shaped like a hockeyput" LOL!

[Neverletgorox]

hockey puck

[TrEjeenaa]

franco killed him...dunno,what happened to saurus,he's not his usual self,looks upset

[kijishiroukasen]

he lost his voice.

[HipHopElectronic]

damn franco predicted the entire

Remote control car drove him so far line.

[ThaSupraMan]

i think he was just moving his lips and fingers as thesaurus was spittin it. only way to really kno is if he had a mic

[rapsody]

um, no. you're obviously in denial. i can clearly see franco mouth every single word.

[Cheddar323]

wtf are you talking about... he predicted the whole line.

[Lajaki1985]

@Cheddar323

Franco didn't predict the whole line.. The saurus had used that line before against franco in another battle and franco called him on it

[RonDon1389]

1:39 is the BEST prediction I've ever seen - relevant and he predicts an entire scheme not one word.

[Dru234]

how the hell could anyone give this comment a thumbs down? lol

[SeladoreUK]

i think thesaurus probably used it on him before, not on footage or anything but they've battled loads of times

thats why franco shakes his head and shit

[lennard]

Saurus' voice is real bad here

[LostSoundWaves]

Yeah that shit sounds downright painful...

[FarooqHakim]

NoCan and TheSaurus to me are on a close enough level to where I think it really is a toss up as to which one of them would win on a given day

It depends on who's having a better day lol. Who ate a nice breakfast that morning haha. Franco lost to TheSaurus, because he rapped better than him in the Scribble Jam 2007, won the crowd over, predicted TheSaurus' only hard hitting line

People forget, Franco wins ALOT of battles by simply out rapping the fuck out of his opponent look at Franco vs Dese

[LuderAlex]

@FarooqHakim Watch the 08 Final.

[ThirdEyeAbility]

Thesaurus himself posted a scribble thread on RapMusic forum that he RECYCLED the remote control car line.. cause he was tired and lost his voice and said it was gonna be hard to deliver and go against a beast like Franco.

[FarooqHakim]

He also said he was glad he didn't have to go up against NoCanDo because he knew he would get embarassed

[DmACKdd]

WHO gives a fuck about recycling?!?!??!? a true emcee can flip a recycle. thesarus did loose his voice and this battle but he's a fuckin beast, cypherd wit him 06, insane when he's buzzed. franco is not a beast, he's whack as fuck, scribble was drunk as fuck, no one wanted to hear scratchy ass death thesarus voice going down , so they kept the scrub, buddy nocando burried franco alive, where were you lol.

[ThirdEyeAbility]

i wanted to add another amusing comment on your page just like all the other people on there calling you a faggot b/c of the ill-minded shit and non-sense you post on other threads, but nah, i decline...

i don't need you to tell me that thesaurus is a beast cause i already know he is. why don't you leave a comment to Thesaurus and tell HIM (and all the other fresh coast heads who ARE in the scene like Okwerdz etc...) that franco isn't a beast. thesaurus was the one that said it.

[PAYPAMAKA]

franco can flow better on a beat than most freestylers out there. he makes sense when he does too. thats his strength. he doesn't suck because he's not a direct punchline killer like saurus

[sifstarr]

franco predicted that whole bar near the end lol

[useyouforfood]

yeah that was crazy.

[jeyjey34]

That's pretty cool that he could do that.

[Isamright33]

i'm going to win scribble jam in 2010 my name is anonymous.

[c12akky]

Good luck!!

[howartduck1]

cool except for the meth line

[icon54]

I love it whenever the host tries to take the mic from Franco and he always squats down and starts yelling so he can finish his bar lol

[Zappurtv]

non were good in this battle.. thesaurus throws harder punches than that.. either he must be drained or wasn't feeling it anymore

[ThirdEyeAbility]

franco doesn't accentuate his syllables like most do. even ask phillipdrummond.

[ThirdEyeAbility]

poeticjustice248 is a delusional moron.

[VillianyCricket]

I thought Saurus was came pretty tight

[TheCrazedFlip]

lmfao! did yall see thesarus's face :58 to 1:03 lmfao, he was noddin like "hey hes got decent rhyme" then franco talked bout him ebin on meth, and thesuarus's face expression was pricless

[Gwame]

what do you mean? the saurus was predicting the word "metamphetamines"

[TheCrazedFlip]

yea i know he did that but his face after or expression was like "ok whatever works", plus he shrugged his shoulders

[jeyjey34]

What are you talking about? He clearly predicted it right.

[ApAKKAlypse]

yeah he's all "Cool Cool, Wait what the fuck?"

[vitriolicscott]

This was probably Saurus' 8th battle or something, you can hear his voice is completely raw.

[PosaljiMiSliku]

8th battle...u mean 4th?? yeah dats wut i tought

[jasonrenaud]

Both were slackin... I've heard much better from Franco and a lot better from Thesaurus... but it's scribble jam . LIke street battles better !!!!!

[Poeticjustice248]

In my opinion.. Franco was able to predict the remote control car line because of how Saurus lead up to it. "You never spoke a dope bar".. an experienced rapper's mind is gonna select "remote control car" as the best syllable rhyme match to that filler.. and then "drove him so far" as the most relevant option to follow it up. That's just straight up experience.

[PosaljiMiSliku]

ok dawg dat thang ur sayin its completely possible theoreticly...but ayy you stand next 2 me i'll drop a free so u try 2 guess or predict da whole bar...hard rite?? lol peace

[vebdaklu]

That was the dumbest thing I ever heard...The Saurus recycled,because he was tired,and Franco caught him on that...Period...

[Poeticjustice248]

LMAO it's only dumb to you because you have absolutely NO idea how a rapper's mind works. I've been rapping for years so try and keep up. Those strings of rhymes are one of the ONLY possible syllable combonations and word matches that make much sense. That is the foundation of ALL predictions.. Saurus ain't gonna recycle filler too.."You never spoke a dope bar". Franco hears that and it's SO obvious he's leading up to remote control car. n' you'd have to be a dumbass not to predict the last one

[DannyBoy11111]

''i've been rapping for years'' HAHAHAHA

[ThirdEyeAbility]

you're WRONG.

[icon54]

Has anyone every told you how much of an idiot you are?

[vebdaklu]

I've been freestyling for years too buddy...Even been on stage battles...You don't think of the opponents rhyme schemes,you try to think of your own while the audience cheers and you're being dissed in front of them(and the beat is running)...So,you don't delve deep into the other guys material,you would just choke,or missfire...

[anarchy18746]

franco owned

[SHOTGUNtime]

0:56 - 1:28

only time ive ever seen saurus get owned.

[Paymenow]

"I'll jump your mother and fuck her up"

[PimpGreensocks]

Ive never commented on a youtube video before but seeing how many retards are on this one, ive got to. As much as i hate to say it, Franco ate him up. Franc totally heard him spit that remote control car shit. I dont know who won the battle but if its thesaurus, someone's blowing dicks for votes.

[vebdaklu]

Franco won...Relax... :)

[bigteedawg28]

funny cause Franco actually says "it's not my fault he's a faggot, all he does is flip the same rhymes with his multi-syllabics, it's really not hard to predict when I'm sparking this shit..." Then in next round Franco predicts his "remote control car" rhyme.

TheSaurus is a dope battle emcee and has served many, but Franco looked into the future on that one.

[CitadelFitness]

@bigteedawg28

franco didnt predict it.. the saurus had already used that remote control car line in the past

[bombardsquads]

@bigteedawg28 he didn't predict it, he looked into the past not the future, lol. thesaurus said that line earlier in a cypher that's how franco knew it and that's why he was shaking his head

[FarooqHakim]

I like TheSaurus as much as the next guy, but anyone saying TheSaurus won this is a straight up dickrider.

Punchlines are not the only aspect to battling. I repeat. PUNCHLINES ARE NOT THE ONLY ASPECT TO BATTLING. Franco had him beat in delivery, stage presence, predicting his rhymes, and style.

[DannyBoy11111]

too bad the prediction is the only reason saurus didnt win then

[blankSQUAD]

thesaurus still killed him , even with his voice fucked.....

[TheScore22]

the saurus voice is fucked here.

[aintnoshookone]

i got an ill lyric and its pointed at his head. big clue of prewrittens

[Gwame]

or even the opposite

[bigteedawg28]

how do you figure?

"You can't mess with a Cincinnati rep

I have an ill lyric and it's pointed at his head..."

not the most impressive line by franco. See the point of calling out prewrittens is when the puncline is too clever.

[notuntil32]

"cincinnati red"

[staloysayc]

Franco only won because Saurus decided it'd be cool to recycle lines

[Ratamahatt]

Franco had it even if The Saurus left out that whole recycled line, I thought. Saurus didn't really say much.

[Kamiokuri]

The Saurus recycles more than I thought. Rumpelstiltskin and remote control car.

[activist45]

damn he predicted the whole line!

[activist45]

did thesaurus accidentally use that line before?

[vebdaklu]

No,Franco just guessed the entire line of 6 words...Of course The Saurus used it before...How else could Franco know it...:S

[Gwame]

I dunno, where did Saurus use it before? It is possible to predict that much when someone uses that many multi rhymes. Think about it, it's basically just freestyling, both emcees came up with the same rhyme

[vebdaklu]

Do you realize that the shit we see on the net is about 1% of the freestyling and cyphering that they did together?And Franco has surely heard that line from the Saurus at some point...It is NOT posible to predict two multis at the same time as the person who spits them,spits them...

[Gwame]

yeah maybe, but even listen to franco when he starts spittin here. he talks about the saurus being easy to predict, and then he goes and predicts all that. just sayin its a possibility

[vebdaklu]

IF Franco dodn't predict the line,he would lose...Sometimes it's not all about the punches...

[Lunacy091]

that was awesome especially how franco was starting to flow when he was gettin in his face

[figthersdreams]

It's funny how white guys groove to the music LOL

[bigman32193]

franco didnt predct the remot control car line, its been said by thesaurus b4. how the fuck can sum1 predict an entire bar?

[usernameguy3]

its written, you can probably find it on the internet, thesaurus researched it so he could use it.

these lines are called prewrites many rappers know them

[notoriouskodiak]

Prewritens arnt something battlers go online to look for. prewrittens are lines the rappers rehearse before the battle. not off top of the head

[DesertEagleKlick]

franco didnt predict that shit, thesaurus has said it before. its impossible to predict 9 words u fucking idiots.

[alexknaz]

i hope your not insinuating franco predicted;

"remote controlled car drove him so far"...

t

[soCalxwarrior]

shit was sick. i think saurus had better punchlines but franco flipped the coke one and predicted that other one perfectly. hed prolly heard saurus use that back in a cali cypher

[JAZEJucesMOM]

can someone reply to me the name of this beat.

its one of the sickest shitz ive ever heard!

[1a1a2a3a]

Black Rob-Whoa!

[dascientiss]

"Whoa" by Black Rob

[JAZEJucesMOM]

1:45

illest fuckin prediction ive ever seen.

THATS how its done.

hate cats predicting the last damn word, thinkin there witty.

now THATS dank shit rite there.!

[1a1a2a3a]

"I role with a better team, I don't do a coke binge, I'm a big red machine on methamphetamines."

[mjkl]

franco fucking wennnnnnnnt offff hes like them pysco white boys 1:15 - 1:29

[KamranAliV1]

1:33 HOW THE FUCK DID HE PREDICT THAT SHIT?!!? Haha dope!

[hashbr0wnies]

not a very good battle. both dudes are sick otherwise but i dont tihnk either of them did very good here. lol @ that prediction though by franco that was nice

[heyyoheyyo1212]

thesaurus got so fat

[1a1a2a3a]

franco was dope, and that was sick the way he predicted that

[EJayIzNice]

how the fuck did franco predict that?

[EzziiG]

Franco!!!!

[coolstud88]

holy fuck franco did predict that crazy lololol that was a good angle on it

[coolstud88]

this is by far my fav scribble beat it just screams intensity yadada mean

[VillianyCricket]

I think The Saurus won this battle...I'm really impressed with all his SJ 07 material...its just a shame he lost his voice.

[BestVideosEver01]

franco probably predicted it cus thesaurus wrote it and he already heard it.

[scottja140]

YES, thank you. So many people have trouble believing that TheSaurus doesn't always freestyle haha.

[BestVideosEver01]

i think he always does freestyle but if u pop a written line into a freestyle its still a freestyle.

[scottja140]

Very well, I'm not going to attack you for that, but why do you think that he always freestyles? Do you know him personally?

[BestVideosEver01]

no i dont know him, what is all this "are they freestyling" jargon, i myself get accused of writing when i am freestyling, people who do that just think they are written because they think its impossible to actually freestyle good.

[scottja140]

Fair enough man, respect. No I really don't care if he is freestylin or written. If what he's spitting is dope its dope, and vice verse. I'm just tired of people dissin guys like Solomon on the basis they they think he's "Always written". Personally I don't care if it is freestyle or written, I just don't think people should judge battles that way, because they think that someone is freestyling and the other dude is not. If your performance is better thats all I care about :)

[N1GWANNNAC1G]

the saurus said that line to him before in 07 freestyle competetion it use to be on youtube

[postaboy506]

i think thats the first time ive ever seen someone predict the punchline line completely WOW!

[BestVideosEver01]

1:10 to 1:27 franco beasted.

[firewulfman]

I thought THE SAURUS won it

[scottja140]

not this one bud. TheSaurus very clearly lost this battle. His punchlines weren't very good in contrast to his previous performances and Franco predicted an entire two lines. Not only that Franco made fun of his multi syabble style and had relevent shit, and in TheSaurus' rebuttal to the polysyllabics thing he just rhymed the same words that Franco did essentially. I like TheSaurus, but he lost this one, and it had nothing to do with the fact he lost his voice.

[DannyBoy11111]

the **** u talking, HE WON THE BATTLE 100 TIMES OVER if it wasnt for the recycled-punch call

'rhythm to the rhyme' face it almost whole first verse was completely irrelevant, and none of it was good

rebuttle was as killer as it could be, since he added the key part with hockeypuck.. 'same words' the hell, not in the same order son what u on u even rap

nothing to do with voice indeed br0 he wouldve won in sign language

[scottja140]

Whoa calm down bud. I said nothing about the hockey puck rebuttal, I was talking about the "I'm about to cut your body in half with the polysyllabics if you call me a faggot". Franco already said "It's not my fault your a faggot, all he does is flip the same rhymes with the multi syllabics." So that was VERY RELEVANT because TheSaurus did flip the SAME RYHME about 4 seconds later ironically.
