Cystic & Bam?? You gotta be shitting me, no crowd response, screwed up delivery at times and like someone has already said "they looked like they couldn't be bothered" Confused!!
exactly, aside from us knowing bamalam is apart of the staff, the fact he told unan way before hand about his match up just makes me think more and more everything has been tailored for them, especially when big sarters and bowski killed them yet lost so bam and cystic are in the final?
This is why don't flop needs to come up with a judging system and revolutionize battle rap. Cause some of the judges were so bias and it takes creditability from the league when it comes to tournaments and title shots. Dude said "we are video judging so we watch it like three times and it takes the whole delivery away and you focus on content" really bruv? First of all delivery is one of the main categories and is equally as important as content second if its video judging the mother fucker should be watching it 20+ times not three. And third like I said before a lot of these judges were really bias and that's cause half of don't flop hates unan and don't give him credit for his level of skill yeah he has a lot of filler but so do a lot of battlers and his filler is fucking sick its part of his style. He is by far the most personally hated in don't flop. Sucks cause I rate him in the top ten on df
Chris and Unan had flawless delivery especially on their scheme about Bam giving out info, whereas Bam and Cystic screwed up their delivery on their biggest lines especially when they copy the other's "Callum's ex" scheme and they still won. Chris and Unan should team up again for the next doubles tournament and beat everyone. They are the only doubles team from this tournament other than Zen and Dialect I would pay to see live.
It's easy to take one of their weaker filler lines and criticize it but I think it's very obvious which team put in a performance worthy of winning a quarter final..
Diz didn't come up with that style there are so many battlers with that style. All it is ,is a style that centers on aggressive delivery descriptive filler and multis. Diz don't lay claim to that style. That's like saying eugh rides smack battlers
I don't see how Bamalam and Cystic won this battle man....Unan and Leese had some sick bars and they had performance and delivery too...They won even based on content IMHO....and they were on point from beginning to end where as Bam and Cystic had quite a few stumbles...some biased judging going on there I think....still a good battle but wrong decision.
Unan's rape alarm/snooze button bar has been used before in an old jump off or dont flop battle, anyone know who it was?I cant remember, mighta been Respek BA
SICK battle!! unan and leese are a BIG problem!! props to bam and cystic too. killed it. and flex digits judging intro had me in stitches! haha on the real, mad love for don't flop! im loving the overall improvement in production value these days. big respect, keep it going. only crit i can say regarding the videos is the use of wide angles at places in the edit. it kind of takes it away from where the action is sometimes. that being said... i should definitely go to more events! DFAFD!!
"I feel like I'm Samuel L Jackson with John Travolta on my left hand side in a session, & we're trying to collect the prize like its our most prided possession, but wait an assailant quietly hides in the depths and death silently beckons, as he ensures his timing's correct jumps out and *buck buck* fires his wessun, divine rights could fire multiple times at our heads but we look to Christ for protection, so as god smiles from the heavens and none of their shots hit THAT'S DIVINE INTERVENTION!"
Their first round battle, prior to this one, in which they both had to repeat their bars due to popular demand. Drinks were thrown on stage, and MA stepped on
lame personals? you find personals which are directed at the oponent and TRUE lame? while you find a long bunch of multies about egyption temples and atomic bombs better in a battle? doesnt make much sense to me. great battle. bam and cystic were actually really hard in this. both teams were. i havent seen the outcome yet, but this could go to either team. id probably even lean towards bam and cystic based on content. unan and leese were murderous with their delivery. crazy shit.
Unan has just proven to me that there is another emcee that is on his levels. Big Up to Chris Leese for providing some rare/raw bars. Certain man just appreciate the effort put into the words that are spoken. Them other two were just boring.
After the last battle I genuinely thought that Unan and Chris Leese had already won this tournament, but they were riding the crest of the wave of the last battle and let themselves down, they went into this battle thinking they already won, but they should never underestimate thier opponents - what IM was saying was completely spot on - I am huge fan of Unan, but this battle was won by Bamalam and Cystic
yo the guy in the front in the varsity jacket looks bare like homie from the warriors who bangs the bottles together and chants that come out to play malarky, the guy who shot Sirus, sick battle tho
I love the judging, I love that the judges are actually judging and I'm not bothered this is over an hour. anyone bitching just skip the end for Christ sake. not the end of the world
the problem is it all comes down to opinion- some would say chris and unan aren't direct or relevant enough and actually have a lack of insults about their opponents- we need a battle rap code of judging
To people who say it's not about performance: You would only ever see skinny little nerds with a lot of time on their hands rapping. The fact is, you'd all be bored shitless aside from a few good punches (see JVL rapping), yet you're all so quick to discount how entertaining Unan and Leese make it, IMO they deserve the win just off that
Unan & chris chemistry is sick! Cant wait to see the vs dna & clips although they never did a 2 on 2 together but they live together so practice is in.
considering how important this battle is... This is EXACTLY how it should be judged. The amount of depth every judge goes into is on point. It is slightly edged towards bars over performance. more what you say rather than how you say it. nonetheless, the judging is definitely taken as seriously as it should be. sick
I dont think there was much between the two, however i prefer Bamalam & Cystics as people. I know its not a personality contest, but since i dont think there was much between the two, i go for who i find more likeable as individuals.
They are basically saying- pay your money, turn up, stand there and watch. When you have all gone home we will pick who wins. Value got money there folks!! Quick when the next ticket sale!!!!!
Writers know who won this battle, 14 year old fans think they know who won this battle. It was sick on the day and sick here, shouts out to all 4 battlers still
Cystic and Bam definitely need to rehearse their material for the next round. The stumbles were a disappointment. If Bam could have delivered all of his content without error, this wouldn't be nearly as debatable, if at all. I want to see Bam perform in this duo like he does in his solo battles. As for the judges themselves, I was surprised that their decisions weren't more split. After Flex, I didn't expect any other votes to go for Cystic and Bam. Anyway, I'm content with the final decision.
i am interested to see what the judges have to say about the battle, but not when it takes this long. If they had all done it the same as Ogmios it would be fine
Loving the edit on eurgh shouting at the guy with the phone.. makes it look like chris did that little freestyle instantly.. when really eurgh was shouting at the guy for a few minutes
+Shugri Bashir He writes for nearly every battler he would be a god tier battler himself if he could spit but instead hes got that god hand midas touch with the pen
I was there on the night and it was a total Content v Delivery battle. Bam n Cystic took it Live and they definitely bodied it after watching it again.
wish at least 4 of the teams would of been Shotty and Unan / zen and chris leese / Dialect and matter / Cee Major and Bamalam, That would of made an intense tourney.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOW so. That was ridiculous. great battle. I wouldnt be upset regardless of the winner of the battle. i wish bam and cystic had gone harder on that last scheme cuz there were so many possibilities but either way...CRAZY
crowd reaction doesn't mean shit :/ yes I agree that unan & leese won on delivery and performance but end of the day they didn't match divine rights pen game. leese said it in the interview that the performance can't be replicated when the judges are watching it on a video multiple times, they focus on the content and unan & leese got outclassed in that respect.
This decision was the worst. Bam choked twice and still won
Cystic & Bam?? You gotta be shitting me, no crowd response, screwed up delivery at times and like someone has already said "they looked like they couldn't be bothered" Confused!!
exactly, aside from us knowing bamalam is apart of the staff, the fact he told unan way before hand about his match up just makes me think more and more everything has been tailored for them, especially when big sarters and bowski killed them yet lost so bam and cystic are in the final?
Bam and Cystic deffs took the W, Chris and Unan do have some bars, but most the time their talking complete shit
aye gg to both tho
BEST BATTLE I EVER SEEN!!! UNANYMOUS IS THE MAN!! First time hearing CHRIS LEESE and he MURKEDD IT TOO!
Biggest robbery in Don't Flop fucking terrible judging!
This is why don't flop needs to come up with a judging system and revolutionize battle rap. Cause some of the judges were so bias and it takes creditability from the league when it comes to tournaments and title shots. Dude said "we are video judging so we watch it like three times and it takes the whole delivery away and you focus on content" really bruv?

He is by far the most personally hated in don't flop. Sucks cause I rate him in the top ten on df
biggest robbery in don't flop
we still need shuffle t and Marlo vs unanymous and Chris leese
I miss these days
Chris and Unan had flawless delivery especially on their scheme about Bam giving out info, whereas Bam and Cystic screwed up their delivery on their biggest lines especially when they copy the other's "Callum's ex" scheme and they still won. Chris and Unan should team up again for the next doubles tournament and beat everyone. They are the only doubles team from this tournament other than Zen and Dialect I would pay to see live.
Bone Idol cry
Chris and Unan hands down!
"Well Fucking entertain em then!"
Poor decision on the win.
It's easy to take one of their weaker filler lines and criticize it but I think it's very obvious which team put in a performance worthy of winning a quarter final..
Yeah, you not seen his battle against Lyricist ?
im i the only one who thinks unanymous is one of the best rappers don't flop ever seen?
no
unan, rides on dizaster's coat tails so much it makes me sick. how the fuck could you come up with that notion?
Diz didn't come up with that style there are so many battlers with that style. All it is ,is a style that centers on aggressive delivery descriptive filler and multis. Diz don't lay claim to that style. That's like saying eugh rides smack battlers
nathan rudzik
dizaster has a very unique style and he was the first one to do it i dont know what you are talking about
***** no he doesn't
Loving the Arkaic's video judging. I was feelin that!
The london crowd were soooo shit if chris and unans bars were said anywhere else the place would have went ment
Remember when battles were 10 mins? Bring that back
Never clocked unan in the apron first time around I'm cracking up loool
I don't see how Bamalam and Cystic won this battle man....Unan and Leese had some sick bars and they had performance and delivery too...They won even based on content IMHO....and they were on point from beginning to end where as Bam and Cystic had quite a few stumbles...some biased judging going on there I think....still a good battle but wrong decision.
Unan's rape alarm/snooze button bar has been used before in an old jump off or dont flop battle, anyone know who it was?I cant remember, mighta been Respek BA
The first time I watched this I was thinking it was a joke of a decision, but now after watching it months later I completely agree.
i love how eurgh apologises for the interuption and how he fucked up the round, but gave Chris one of the best lines in the battle..
SICK battle!! unan and leese are a BIG problem!! props to bam and cystic too. killed it.
and flex digits judging intro had me in stitches! haha
on the real, mad love for don't flop! im loving the overall improvement in production value these days. big respect, keep it going. only crit i can say regarding the videos is the use of wide angles at places in the edit. it kind of takes it away from where the action is sometimes. that being said... i should definitely go to more events! DFAFD!!
What did Bamalam do to Jermaine aka Canibus?
"I feel like I'm Samuel L Jackson with John Travolta on my left hand side in a session, & we're trying to collect the prize like its our most prided possession,
but wait an assailant quietly hides in the depths and death silently beckons,
as he ensures his timing's correct jumps out and *buck buck* fires his wessun,
divine rights could fire multiple times at our heads but we look to Christ for protection, so as god smiles from the heavens and none of their shots hit THAT'S DIVINE INTERVENTION!"
I finally agree with a decision.. its been a long time!
Mandem sleeping on these views this shit was sick!!
What battle did Unan spit the "worthless inside like Mickys mum" bar?
Their first round battle, prior to this one, in which they both had to repeat their bars due to popular demand. Drinks were thrown on stage, and MA stepped on
28 minutes of judging? I can't be arsed can someone tell me the result?
which is the battle where eurgh said the possible biggest crowd reaction was from?
lame personals? you find personals which are directed at the oponent and TRUE lame? while you find a long bunch of multies about egyption temples and atomic bombs better in a battle? doesnt make much sense to me.
great battle. bam and cystic were actually really hard in this. both teams were. i havent seen the outcome yet, but this could go to either team. id probably even lean towards bam and cystic based on content. unan and leese were murderous with their delivery. crazy shit.
Chris Leese - "Somebody is a thief "
lol yep.Robbed the win
Unan has just proven to me that there is another emcee that is on his levels. Big Up to Chris Leese for providing some rare/raw bars. Certain man just appreciate the effort put into the words that are spoken. Them other two were just boring.
After the last battle I genuinely thought that Unan and Chris Leese had already won this tournament, but they were riding the crest of the wave of the last battle and let themselves down, they went into this battle thinking they already won, but they should never underestimate thier opponents - what IM was saying was completely spot on - I am huge fan of Unan, but this battle was won by Bamalam and Cystic
ahahaha "Unan recipe album" Ogmios is so funny man
just because the decision didn't go the way you thought they should doesnt mean you should dislike the video.
What's up with this Eurgh/Unan beef on twitter? Anyone explain?
flex digits with the legendary video judging entrance
Chris Leese & Unanymous should be called 'Chrismous'
wheres unans hat from?
yo the guy in the front in the varsity jacket looks bare like homie from the warriors who bangs the bottles together and chants that come out to play malarky, the guy who shot Sirus, sick battle tho
I like the opening bars from Chrise Leese and Unan.
What's the timestamp of eurgh shouting at that dude XD
I love the judging, I love that the judges are actually judging and I'm not bothered this is over an hour. anyone bitching just skip the end for Christ sake. not the end of the world
What is Bo Burnham doing in the front row?
Great interview, Steph's improved loads.
the problem is it all comes down to opinion- some would say chris and unan aren't direct or relevant enough and actually have a lack of insults about their opponents- we need a battle rap code of judging
To people who say it's not about performance: You would only ever see skinny little nerds with a lot of time on their hands rapping. The fact is, you'd all be bored shitless aside from a few good punches (see JVL rapping), yet you're all so quick to discount how entertaining Unan and Leese make it, IMO they deserve the win just off that
I can see why people would think that if your new to battles, but if not, theres no excuse.
Unan & chris chemistry is sick! Cant wait to see the vs dna & clips although they never did a 2 on 2 together but they live together so practice is in.
i wish he could get his spitting game to the same level
you said its mostly the same thing so why are you interested ?
what is it with wrong decisions.
what the fuck is flex digets doing in cambodia?
It was all fixed from day one!!!!
When are you solving the JFK Assassination case?
well if you dont wanna wait you can do this groundbreaking thing called skipping past it..
is Arkaic, Tim Westwood's brother?!
considering how important this battle is... This is EXACTLY how it should be judged. The amount of depth every judge goes into is on point. It is slightly edged towards bars over performance. more what you say rather than how you say it. nonetheless, the judging is definitely taken as seriously as it should be. sick
then... skip to the end- your not forced to do anything.
wow, didnt expect that outcome!! big ups to both teams definitely a sick match up. unan and bam needed to get a room at some parts haha
I dont think there was much between the two, however i prefer Bamalam & Cystics as people. I know its not a personality contest, but since i dont think there was much between the two, i go for who i find more likeable as individuals.
Why is Arkaic doing a Tim Westwood impression??
it's not about the fact they are shouting it's the fact they aren't saying anything relevant and hide it behind their stage presence.
They are basically saying- pay your money, turn up, stand there and watch. When you have all gone home we will pick who wins. Value got money there folks!! Quick when the next ticket sale!!!!!
thought bamalam and cystic lost? why are they battling again?
Writers know who won this battle, 14 year old fans think they know who won this battle. It was sick on the day and sick here, shouts out to all 4 battlers still
Cystic and Bam definitely need to rehearse their material for the next round. The stumbles were a disappointment. If Bam could have delivered all of his content without error, this wouldn't be nearly as debatable, if at all. I want to see Bam perform in this duo like he does in his solo battles. As for the judges themselves, I was surprised that their decisions weren't more split. After Flex, I didn't expect any other votes to go for Cystic and Bam. Anyway, I'm content with the final decision.
I’m so confused the judgings came out tied??? How did bam and cyst get the win?
Did shotty and tony d ever battle?
No one can beat Chris Leese & Unanymous's performance! They win hands down!
When I saw this live I wasn't sure who to give it to but watching it back and being able to hear Bam and Cystics bars better I would say they won
i am interested to see what the judges have to say about the battle, but not when it takes this long. If they had all done it the same as Ogmios it would be fine
Loving the edit on eurgh shouting at the guy with the phone.. makes it look like chris did that little freestyle instantly.. when really eurgh was shouting at the guy for a few minutes
all bark and no bite vs all bite and no bark.
The teams made this one hard to judge by each lacking what the other team had.
Cystic - You Aint A Monstrosity Unanymous - "Yeah I Am"
Why Do You Start Every Word With A Capital Letter?
It makes reading things extremely hard.
Nice to see Don't Flop getting that celeb love with Stephen Merchant in the front row.
watch IM judging, he had a point fam. If your watching this over and over again, content shines through.
WTF Frankie apparently writes for every 2on2 in DF
+Shugri Bashir He writes for nearly every battler he would be a god tier battler himself if he could spit but instead hes got that god hand midas touch with the pen
That's actually messed up
i know and hes dead too he cant even spit
In the pokemon center?
where's menace?
i had to turn the volume up and down between bam and cystics rounda and unan and leeses round cause of the difference in the volume of their voices
Content matters more. If you come with content and ok delivery or terrible content vs good delivery, content should win all day.
I was there on the night and it was a total Content v Delivery battle. Bam n Cystic took it Live and they definitely bodied it after watching it again.
Someone hasn't seen the Marlo & Shuffle T vs Big Jay & Lefty battle
wish at least 4 of the teams would of been Shotty and Unan / zen and chris leese / Dialect and matter / Cee Major and Bamalam, That would of made an intense tourney.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOW
so. That was ridiculous. great battle. I wouldnt be upset regardless of the winner of the battle. i wish bam and cystic had gone harder on that last scheme cuz there were so many possibilities but either way...CRAZY
did you even watch the battle?
Thank You.
crowd reaction doesn't mean shit :/ yes I agree that unan & leese won on delivery and performance but end of the day they didn't match divine rights pen game. leese said it in the interview that the performance can't be replicated when the judges are watching it on a video multiple times, they focus on the content and unan & leese got outclassed in that respect.
Bam and cystic deserved that win, constant attacks and said deep true shit
Bamalam and Cystic deserved the win
agreed
This is maybe my favourite battle!
i actually look forward to IMs judging, dat guy is sooo on point man
Good battle. Good judging as well thought it was the right decision.
