    Salute to Arkaic, Chalked Out and the whole London Crew for the opportunity to come and out. The crowd was electric and we both didn't disappoint. Can't wait to come back.

    Glad to see Arkaic back, his 3rd was fire, nice performance. Get him some more crossover matches! A. Ward killed it as usual , good battle!

    • @AmericanDreamAlbum
      @AmericanDreamAlbum 6 років тому

      Remember when for a short period of time Justin Bieber was making poor decisions and embarrassing his family? He egged a neighbor, peed in a bucket, etc. This embarrassment is nothing compared to how Ark must feel after spitting his wack flzzows in a public setting.

    • @AmericanDreamAlbum
      @AmericanDreamAlbum 6 років тому

      Where did Ark get back from? No one ever knew he even existed. You have to have been somewhere to now be back. This Ark guy is new to me. But after watching this battle (rap wise) he is dead to me. Seems like a nice guy though- wish him nothing but the best.

  • @NeiyonSpyder

    A. Ward 1st, Arkaic 3rd. It's really up to whoever you give the 2nd. Fire rounds from both tho. This is a solid battle right here.

  • @viceversa4174
    @viceversa4174 6 років тому +7

    Fire. A Ward 2-1; its hard not to give Arkaic that 3rd but A Ward is such a problem that he can make a close round look like his. Salute to these too. Away games are never easy, let alone in a different country.

    Have you ever been in the car and had to poop so bad that you could barely hold it until you could get to the gas station? You rush in to the bathroom and handle your business only to then notice there is no toilet paper? You feel helpless, stuck, confused, and alone? I got all of those same feelings watching Arkaic attempt to rap. It really wasn't good at all. AWARD 3-0

      James, all I know is that Award smoked Ark in this battle. I don’t even know Ark and I was embarrassed for him. Have you ever been on a first date and had to excuse yourself to take a terrible diarrhea dump? When you wipe you get a little poo residue on your hand and then find out there is no soap or running water in the bathroom. Then you get back to your date and she smells your hand right away and just looks at you completely disgusted. I have. And I’d rather have that happen again than watch Ark fumble over his words so awkwardly. Award 3-0

      @AmericanDreamAlbum 6 років тому

      Everyone keeps saying Ark is back. But no one I know ever knew he left, or even existed for that matter. He seems like he’d be a great neighbor - like the type of guy to help you jump start your car. But his attempts at rapping make me cringe. He’s a disaster up there on stage. Award 3-0 easy peezy lemon squeezy

    • @sambo.0334
      @sambo.0334 6 років тому

      AmericanDreamAlbum I see what you mean. I’m assuming you’re American. Most of you guys don’t need / seem to look further afield as you have most of the greats in America. We aslo have our own greats and veterans. I’m just showing support for the ‘home grown’ talent, as well as A Ward 👍🏼. It’s also a matter of opinion and relevance to decide who won. I wouldn’t complain if A Ward did take it, 3-0 is a bit much I think haha.

    • @AmericanDreamAlbum

      A Ward i can respect that. I liked that"Pabst blue ribbon or abb nutrition" bar you had vs real, im not just hating. There's much universal truth in the scriptures, and even people not of the faith can resonate with it, if you present it "right". Check out Red Letter Ministries on youtube, or Gjonas. Religion angles vs psycoses, Gutta & Daylyt..oh yeah you were front row.

    A Ward was punching consistently. Rebuttaled well at the top of the 2nd and 3rd. And spit clean rounds. On 7 days prep. Stop hating. He delivered better, filler at a absolute minimum. Ark has great energy and presence. But there must be a drought in the UK if yall riding Ark that hard. A Ward 30

    • @junkiescumbag9332
      @junkiescumbag9332 6 років тому

      Wait, why do you say it was 7 days prep? If that's a typo and instead you meant at least 3 months prep then fair enough. Cuz they announced this battle in December and it went down in March. In what world is that 7 days prep? But if you have to justify gassing an average AF rapper by pretending it was short prep, do what you gotta

    • @UwgAllDay
      @UwgAllDay 6 років тому

    Both were good. A.ward had the clear win. On top of that his words are too dope for most people. He is the kind of rapper who kills live, then you realize that he said so much more when you rewatch. Ark was basic. He kept talking about punches.
