Battle Rap

[alphakid13]

Cruger lost the first two rounds.

There isn't that many good UK battlers.

Sensa, Eurgh and Cruger, few of the best in UK lost to Arcane,DNA(really?) and Pete.

Eurgh didn't lose to DNA. DNA's a moron and half of his wordplay is forced, pointlesss nonsense. The guy said "You're known in the UK, I'm known nationwide" for fucks sake.

@Spyder - Mark Grist is a former teacher who battles in Don't Flop. Had a battle with Blizzard (17 year old) that went viral and has 2 and a half million views. He's more spoken word/poetry than rap really. Scroobius Pip is a decently big UK spoken word artist (never battled) who I have never really listened to but called out Grist. Not going to happen now, though, I don't think.

Alanis Morissette ghost writes for DNA

[MikeNUFC]

Thing about DNA isn't that he's just an shit to average battle rapper, it's that he's genuinely an idiot. Some of that cringeworthy 'SLOW IT DOWN' stuff he had. Like this laughable line:

"I aint like the way your accent you came to America, ima put the foreigner... SLOW IT DOWN... I aint like the way you act since you came to America, Ima put the 4 in Eurgh"

The first line makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. If you're going to do a double meaning, they both kind of... have to mean something. Like when Sauras did it in the Cruger battle.

To be honest, a lot of those URL/gun rapper guys base their verses on shitty, forced wordplay.

It's why I love Soul Khan's destruction of QP so much.

Good breakdown. I think the 3rd could have gone either way really. I liked Cruger's "you're the winner of two things" and "to kill an Illusion" (reference to his Illusion-Z battle) lines. Sauras' Don't Flop lines were pretty funny.

I didn't like that 'adolescent child/pedophile' thing. Because Charron already did that concept ("baby face with rapist traits") and I'm sure Sensa did as well in some old battle.

My favourite Cruger perfomance is probably his Illusion-Z one (well, at least the 3rd round). His Jack Shitt (thought he won that) and Enlish perfomances are up there too.

Check out Cruger's third round against Charron if you want to see him at his best.

I remember that verse. Calling it personal would be an understatement.

WD3 and SM2 is coming up.. predictions?

[Spyder]

idc bout sm2 cause url is shit

knamelis
dizaster
pat

other than that check my other post

oh and bender

i am surprised saurus illmac cruger or eurgh arnt in wd3 tho

hollahan cant and twist is in the prix, those r really the only guys who rnt in it

[EminemInsider]

He's the first guy I've seen actually hang shit on Saurus for his poor breath control

Correction: second or third guy. Eg "sweat like a retard/and lose your breath every three bars" and "you look out of breath...just standing there". Maybe it's not as original an angle as I thought.

My favorite The Saurus delivery-related joke was from Justice at SJ 05:

Kylie Minogue, you're slicing your throat/(yelling like TheSaurus) LEARN SOME TIMING AND FLOW!!!

Crowd didn't even react to that...I guess because they were basically in shock from the "mother's period" flip.

[alphakid13]

Yeah, I agree url is shit. The same gun rhymes bores me...

[CrashBand]

Cruger's second verse was so good that I'd probably say he took it overall.

Brings up an interesting point. I feel judges are too black and white over who wins a battle basing it on the individual rounds.

In other words, they would pick Saurus over Cruger because of 2 rounds to one. (assuming the judge deemed a decisive 2nd round win for Cruger and Saurus edging the other rounds).

Kid Twist vs Bulletz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... T5pXnCSz4k

Haven't got time to watch this right now, will breakdown later.

[Spyder]

judging seems off to just because they go on how hyped the crowd was, so it seems different when youre there
if seen people vote one way, the said later they didnt agree with themselves later

and interested in the twist bulletz battle

[alphakid13]

Do you guys judge battles by round?

Certain people think Bender beat Sketch by taking the first two rounds.

[Spyder]

the bender sketch thing is ehh

i think if u choke that hard, its an automatic loss

yes he obv beat him the first two rounds, but blew it imo with the choke
right decision was made
