One major difference between UK battle rap and US battle rap is that the UK scene is more dominated by clever jokes and funny schemes at the expense of the other person while US battle rap tends to lean more towards who can fuck up who and straight drill bars ( love both styles btw )
US has different eras and different platforms. URL is 'drill bars', GrindTime used to be the other big league, which was much more like this UK stuff, KOTD (Canada) has always been sort of in between the two, closer towards the UK stuff too.
Lunar C was a massive part of getting me through a time in my life when I had cancer. It was a dark time, but the laughs he (and Don’t Flop) gave me helped lighten it a lot. For that, I will be forever grateful.
I would absolutely love to see you guys watching some of his battle raps, soooo funny. Another classic is Arsenal Vs shotty horror - a US Vs UK beast of a battle. Nothing but bars, rebuttles and respect between them
This Era of British rap can't be topped. You had Lunar C and the don't flop scene, people like Devilman doing his legendary freestyles and cyphers, huge names to be such as JME, Giggs, Wiley, Wretch 32 on the come up, the early fire in the booths and the list could go in forever😅
Gassed you boys are reviewing this. Shouted it out on previous video didn't think you would though. Can't wait to see your reactions, hopefully his Yorkshire accent doesn't make you miss too many bars
You lads need to watch a few of the Don’t Flop Classics Lunar C vs O’Shea Arsonel vs Shotty Horroh Bamalam vs Dialect Dialect & Zen vs Shuffle T & Marlo Start there for variety and classic battles, great mixture of jokes, bars, word play, schemes and British culture splashed in

I wrote a long-ish comment which seems to have disappeared, so I'll keep it short. Check out... 1 - *War of Words: Battle Rap in the UK* (2016) to learn about *Lunar C.* 2 - *Lunar C - Bumpin* - Which was filmed in his home city *Bradford* (like all of his most recent videos) the world's first *UNESCO City of Film* and *UK City of Culture,* in a couple of locations which will soon be appearing in Tyler Perry's *Six Triple Eight* (2024), and have been used in countless more productions like *Peaky Blinders, Gentleman Jack, The ABC Murders, Residue, Utopia, Funny Cow, The Great Train Robbery, Commando 3, 1920 London, Downton Abbey, The Duke* etc.
5k punch combo and 10k punch combo are a good reference to see how good the lad is at rapping…. Other that that mans got quite a few albums out…. Some songs are actual bangers
This was an intro into Lunar C's punchlines he is so fast n funny him and Shotty Horror are two of the best battle rappers we've got. Lunars FITBs are good too
@moose5996 lunar c just done another battle vs Marv one first time in 8 years but the crowd are usa they don't get half of what he saying so abit of a let down
He performed on ‘don’t flop’ There’s so many good battles on there, check out matter v youth oracle or youth versus elroraps! Any lunar c battle with matter is good too. I’ve been watching this stuff off and on for over ten years, still so good ✌🏼 peace guys
Lunar C is hilarious and a really good battler. Another one similar but still different is Shotty Horroh. That is one battle we never got to see, people have been wanting to see them two battle each other for time. Check him out next you won't be disappointed.
Lunar c and shotty horror are the best in uk battle rap . Don’t flop for uk battle rap n shotty went over and did smack and king of the dot over in the states
I love UK battle rap like this. US battle rap is all about being fake hard and that youre gonna " Cap someone" its so cringe I cant watch for more than 5 minutes. This is the real deal.
Yo you could do a proper dive into Don't Flop, never fails to disappoint! Some of them are so damn funny, Shuffle-T and Marlo were always my favourites, Harry Baker is genius too.
Lunar C is the dont flop goat he’s never lost a battle my personal favourites are marlo + shuffle they’re hilarious and have great delivery as a pair. Would love to see you react to their compliments battle
lunar c is easily the best battle rapper in the UK or was im not personally that clued up with the battle rap scene these days but still this brings back memories, also all the full battles can be found on you tube just search Don't flop lunar c
Sheeeeeeeeet, just caught this and definitely do more dont flop! Mark Grist vs Blizzard is a great one. 17 year old against an english teacher! Big love Boiz!!!!

You should check the compliment rap battle. Those are hilarious. Edit: Also, funny note, Uno and Lunar reacted to their battles together some wtime ago.
some uk rap battle things words are weapons, p solja, chronical, future, paddy theres prob more i missed apologies if so red bull grime aside is savagee must watch all!
uk rap battles are what got me into uk rap and grime 10 years ago.
Lunar is an animal. But his punchlines and wordplay are spectacular. You should check his FITB Part 3. (First two were censored, which is annoying).
100% has some seriously great bars
👌
👌👌👌
Big vouch 🔥
Fitb3 is awesome and not enough people react to it

HOPE LIFE IS TREATING YOU WELL NOW BRO
Thank you, mate. It is, I am healthy, content and doing well in life. I hope you are, too!
@@fatgreenmanglad your doing well now ❤ its good to laugh 😇
Glad to see you make it out the other side broski. Big yourself up for beating that shit
I would absolutely love to see you guys watching some of his battle raps, soooo funny.
Another classic is Arsenal Vs shotty horror - a US Vs UK beast of a battle. Nothing but bars, rebuttles and respect between them
Couple more checks!!
Shotty horror is a must see would love to watch the reaction
I always liked the words are weapons clashes, with music - dorris vs bru c. Splinta vs sdon
Yer shotty horror is a shout
Wdym respect? Lol that's one of the most highly disrespectful Battles to exist
This Era of British rap can't be topped. You had Lunar C and the don't flop scene, people like Devilman doing his legendary freestyles and cyphers, huge names to be such as JME, Giggs, Wiley, Wretch 32 on the come up, the early fire in the booths and the list could go in forever😅
Dont forget blah records and high focus with top artists and albums.

I believe he's undefeated as a battle rapper,shame he doesn't battle rap any more plus he must be close to 40yrs old now.
Don't Flop just dropped a video you might want to see 😮
lunar c fire in the booth part 3 is a must watch

Lunar C is a beast at battle rapping 💯
He's alright he only had 8 battles and 4 of them were tag teams
that were recorded for content yeah, man had hundreds @@imouthere2482
@@imouthere2482quality over quantity
@iamsamu3lx289 there's other battlers out there with equal or better quality who are more consistent.. 4 alright battles and 4 duos doesn't make him anywhere near the best in battle rap
@@imouthere2482 I said a beast not the best
Lunar C is an awesome UK hip hop artist. More hip hop than grime/drill. Amazing independently released albums/singles. Always supported this artist!
Lunar is the king of UK Battle Rap. Im so glad you guys are reviewing this. Please do Shuffle T and Marlo (Compliments battle)
He has full battles and music out there

Another Bradfordian has also collaborated with his arch nemesis Jake Paul.
@@danielgardecki1046 Dunno i'm old so I still struggle to put youtubers up there with JME and Ghetts.
Ah this reminds me of my uni days rinsing all the Don't Flop battles. Lunar is too funny 😂
UK version of Wildin Out is a crazy statement😱
This is just uk clashing, it has been going on for years probably before Wildin out was a thing😂
"I'm not predictable at all, I'll whip out a samurai sword and then kick you in the balls!" - plot twist!
Definitely react to some of Lunar's music too, he's made some absolute bangers over the years.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 lunar c is one of the treasures of the uk!
I wrote a long-ish comment which seems to have disappeared, so I'll keep it short. Check out...
1 - *War of Words: Battle Rap in the UK* (2016) to learn about *Lunar C.*
2 - *Lunar C - Bumpin* - Which was filmed in his home city *Bradford* (like all of his most recent videos) the world's first *UNESCO City of Film* and *UK City of Culture,* in a couple of locations which will soon be appearing in Tyler Perry's *Six Triple Eight* (2024), and have been used in countless more productions like *Peaky Blinders, Gentleman Jack, The ABC Murders, Residue, Utopia, Funny Cow, The Great Train Robbery, Commando 3, 1920 London, Downton Abbey, The Duke* etc.
