also yeah is fairly nostalgiac. been meaning to get into this conversation for a while actually as was pretty sure you'd be only one of two members here who would appreciate this trout
okay so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLezysXShdQ <-- Shuffle-T and Marlo. Widely considered to be the best 2v2 team in the world. smurfing brilliant. total antithesis of battle, couple of middle class faux posh boys, they are hilarious. literally every battle they are in is gold. all of them worth checking out, this one just a good introduction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8d-XCVl9Y8 <-- Cruger vs Conceited. Cruger is funny as smurf, one of the UK top guys. Has a lot of material in this that requires prior knowledge but still has some dope trout, conceited is awesome in this as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp4wEewrQdU <-- Blizzard vs Mark Grist. this is the most famous UK battle, a 17 year old kid vs an English teacher. been a while since I saw it but I remember it being pretty hilarious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw-c0m2Hy2g <-- Ogmios vs Oshea. the guy from that video I linked earlier vs an elder statesman. Oshea not at his best here but Ogmios is dope here. should be good for now, let us know what you think
word, hit me with it. btw, it's nice to exchange usernotes more than like once every few months. Almost gives me a twinge of a feeling of the ol' days. Though it's still difficult to fathom the sheer volume of usernoting that went on back then. Dear lord how did we even sustain that
first round i felt like his flow and bars were a bit basic and he was too reliant on similies but then god damn he spazzed hard in the second and third rounds, was dope. calling the dude out on john john da don trout was the best part. would like to see him in KOTD against some of the canadians, seems like he would fit in well there. lemme find a couple of links for the dopest battles in Don't Flop, gimme a minute
hahahahha as an introduction to the British rap battle scene this is hilarious and awesome. I can understand most of what Dialect is saying until he goes into hyperdrive mode and starts speaking straight gibberish which is somehow understandable to the audience, because they go crazy for it And holy christ that's quite a list you've got there. You really are well-versed in this trout. Well yeah dude check out Doms on that link I sent you, he never really resorts to gun bars. I've never heard anything like it. Am anxious to hear your opinion since you're so familiar with the scene.
i watched a troutload of it man, Charlie Clips is a beast I like him, Loaded Lux has to be watched just because, Daylyt is my dude he's smurfing insane and hilarious. Dizaster I like a lot, Caustic is a beast, Conceited is a funny little smurfer, Hollow da Don is a beast as well, DNA can be a beast when he feels like it. The Saurus is a smurfing monster as well. Seen a bunch more as well, Arsonal, Tsu Surf, Math Hoffa, Calicoe, smurf I can't even remember half of them. Marvwon and Quest, Swave Sevah, oh trout Uno Lavoz is a smurfing hero he's hilarious. Philly Swain, Zimmerman...a troutload. Cortez. I just prefer watching them battle outside yankland 'cause the big leagues like URL and UW like I said they tend to go too much on gun bars and trout and I can't really relate to it much. never heard of Doms tho will give him a deek
Sweet, thanks for the suggestion. Am loading it up now, will let you know if I can make sense of it. Out of curiousity, which American battle rappers have you watched? Have you seen Doms? He is smurfing insane with the bars, dude. Though tbf everyone who battles against him is so trout that I just skip through their parts and just watch Doms tear them apart limb from limb. If you haven't seen him, check it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9lrOhxUJf8
here's a pretty recent one, on-beat battle as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sfvA5M52Tw both guys kill it in this, see if you can understand anything dialect says.
there are also a bunch of rappers in don't flop who you won't be able to understand at all xD Oshea is a total hero, filthy scouse alcoholic and he's either sober enough to spit fire or drunk and a smurfing mess, but he's always hilarious. and dialect is a dude from leeds who I struggle to understand sometimes so probably impossible for you but he's dope as well
you should check out Don't Flop on youtube, that's where I found this guy from. been smurfing heavy with battle rap for the last year or so, Don't Flop is the big UK league and I like KOTD as well which is the canadian one. don't really watch much of the big US leagues cause it's mostly gun bars which mean smurf all to me, but when the big battlers from US leagues go to canada and the UK they generally switch it up a bit and it's dope. troutloads of punchlines in the UK league it's great. definitely need to check out Shuffle-T and Marlo they are smurfing comedy gold
