Let's not forget too that these are two good friends, they did this and earned each others respect for their craft, didn't take any offence. Peeps today could learn some shit💯
8:34 - Shotty's first round end was mostly what's called a name flip. Arsenal Fly Emirates is a soccer team in the UK so the Van Persie/Mancini/Fergie/Top 4, Qualified for Europe bars were to flip Arsonal's name. But Ars did a speechless rebuttal by wearing an Arsenal jersey under his jacket and chose to reveal it before he started, probably the reason Arsonal elected Shotty to go first
If you fellas have never reacted to DF before let me say there's a treasure trove of some fucking awesome battles and battlers. I could spend hours listing them but for all our sakes I'll just drop a few (for DF fans remember my favourites probably aren't going to be the same as you). Soul (The best to do it in the UK in my opinion) Shuffle T and Marlo (Both solos as well but in a different league as a duo) Tenchoo (My personal favourite battler ever, charisma is maxed out and just makes me laugh pure, wish he had more battles.) Lunar C (Wildest bars I've ever heard mixed with a genuine ability to spit) O'shea (Being Yanks and all you're gonna have a hard time with the accent, and I can understand people's criticisms of his bars/style, but the OG of OGs and if he was less of a drunk and actually tried could easily be S tier) Mark Girst (His battle with Blizzard was one of the things that made DF blow and is an awesome wordsmith) Juan (Young head that came into DF as it was starting to crumble but has some really good battles) Great content as always one of the few 'react' channels to discuss the content they're watching in an entertaining and well thought out manner. Good luck in the new year lads.
The battle to watch is Tony D vs Shotty Horroh, it was a clash of titans, 2 UK Goats in an absolute classic Also fun fact Tony D was part of a group back in the day called the Poisonous Poets who members also included Lowkey and Doc Brown, so you know the bar calibre was high!
"Arsonal definitely got this one" not many people agree with this. especially the "definitely" part. Ars said a lot of general bars/disses that could apply to anyone. Shotty was more personal with bars/disses that applied to only Ars. Most people say Shotty won this one including me.
@@ericbuonomo5716 for me Arsonal had the most personal/tailored scheme of the battle at the end of his first. And his second round is one of the best rounds ever in don’t flop or any league, Shotty was relatively inexperienced here and it showed, in my opinion that’s why he smoked Arsonal in the rematch, he evolved and Arsonal stayed the same.
@@ryancairns3111 do you at least agree Ars bars for the most part were general and could apply to any opponent whereas Shotty's were more personal tailored towards Ars. Most ppl say Shotty won.
Shotty has a Chip diss called Jab , also done some hip hop , done dance based stuff with Deadmaus , his own album is with a full band and very Oasis like sounding
The man 2 men to Ghetts' right with a cig behind his ear is Jordan Stephens aka Rizzle aka Wildhood aka Al the Native aka Gnarly Ventura... And the man directly behind Ghetts is Faris Sarwar aka Zen. I'm not sure if the guy between Rizzle and Ghetts is a rapper or not.
Guys - OGMIOS vs CEE MAJOR. If you're after lyrical depth, a litmus test for Don't Flop, and a good showing of british culture in a rap battle, it's must see.
Yes battle rap is very much alive. Dont Flop was the first and biggest UK league and they are still going. They lost steam a few years back and a new league run by Shotty Horror called Premier Battle League picked up the scene. Both leagues still run events. The USA leagues are huge as well, URL/Smack are one of the biggest but KOTD (Run out of Canada), RBE and iBattle are all great leagues as well. Please watch more battles 🙏👊
The lion's den bar might also be a reference to 'the den', a nickname for the football team 'Millwall'. Also a lion is England's national animal. Very clever bars from Arsenal.
Shotty Horroh has an ep called The Teller. It's one story told throughout the ep. Criminally underappreciated imo. I understand that may be too much to ask for a reaction. But I thought I'd share for those interested.
U need to watch Oshea and Uno Lavoz they're too funny, either watch when they battled each other or watch their tag team battles Oshea vs Uno Lavoz Oshea and Uno Lavoz vs Real Deal and Fresco Uno Lavoz vs Lunar C Lunar C and Matter vs Eddie P and Frisko
When Chip was going at everyone Shotty did a dub for him you should check that out its called Jab. His music is fire too, his older stuff at least the last album he did was like a weird indie / rap style sorta thing. His FITB is good too
Dizaster vs DNA Pat Stay vs Arsonal Illmac vs Bigg K Pass vs Remy D Thesaurus vs Real Deal Cortez vs Hollohan Geechi Gotti vs Saynt B Magic vs Conceited Hollow Da Don vs Loaded Lux Tay Roc vs Charlie Clips 2 Calicoe vs Ill Will
the reason people thought shotty was better was because a lot of his bars were specifically for arsenol. Whereas 90% of arsenols bars could have been for anybody
ya gotta tune in to the battle rap culture fr. there are no limitations. some may feel the line is crossed with certain shit but when u in that ring aint nothing that cant be said 🤷🏽♂️ especially in todays culture. plus arsonal is literally known as the most disrespectful battle rapper ever
Lunar c vs madness. Harry Baker vs Quill video game bars battle. Shuffle t and Marlo vs pat stay and rone...n yes shottys uncle passed and this was probably real hard for him
Bruh y’all really have been missing out 😂 Battles to start with in my opinion 1. Daylyt vs B-Magic 2. Pat Stay vs Danny Myers 3. Bigg K vs Illmaculate 4. Dizaster vs DNA
Arsenal had one good round in the first but he got cooked for the last 2. But this battle wasn't planned for a long time, it was kind of put on within a couple days and Arsenal was the big battle rapper at the time and Shotty was up and coming and hungry and came out to show the whole battle rap scene who he is.
Tsu Surf, Hitman Holla, Geechi Gotti, Tay Roc, Aye Verb, Charlie Clips, Goodz, Conceited, Calicoe, Nu Jerzy Twork, Daylyt, Chess, Loaded Lux, Ill Will, JC, K Shine and way way more
You should really watch (judge) and definitely enjoy the battle between "Charron and Arsonal" in which Charron brilliantly "refers" several times to this battle..😄
Guys no joke! My recommendation would be to check out the video... shotty horroh vs matt Hoffa would love to see what ya think of that battle trust me you'll like it! Also big respect to you checking out these don't flop rap battles. The best ones are a little old these days but its awsome seeing it still making waves. Liked and subscribed
Not sure if you still looking, but this some of the best battles i ever seen: Pat stay vs shotgun suge Fresco vs thesaurus Soul khan vs qp Dizaster vs iron Solomon Loaded lux vs calicoe Daylyt vs oops Rone vs charron A ward vs real sikh J2 vs Makk Myron Is so many more but those the standouts the pop into mind, pat stay being my favourite lol
Arsonal vs Jag dropped recently check that one out. Classic! Honestly battles are dropping every single day from multiple platforms. Just keep an eye out 💯💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾
So another late one, when you have time and its not at all a suggestion, they have city based rap squads every few years or something. Like top 5 of Manchester vs Top 5 of London ect. Kinda like a tournament. If i remember the name i'll mention under lol
This was a 2-1 win for Shotty, but Arsonals 2nd round was a different level, u guys don't know about battle rap, both said it was super close, American fans took Arsonals side and uk fans took shottys side The thing about shottys uncle was true, his uncle was killed, anything goes in battle rap
Definitely Aye Verb vs Hitman Holla. Its very personal. Both guys went at each other. Aye Verb basically raised Hitman in battle raps and Hitman started getting a big head. Aye Verb put him in his place. That battle actually stopped Hitman from battle rap. Now he is on Wild n' Out. Aye Verb even used Hitmans dad for the kill line.
shotty sent for chip when chip was asking for beef with a load of mcs but he didn't want to really and beef with a battle mc obviously since he didn't reply
Definitely check out some more battle raps from don’t flop. Shuffle T & Marlo are always hilarious to watch
Deffo: shuffle t vs Anton Murphy, or complements battle (deliberate bad bars)
Lunar C

I’m an American who grew up on football and especially the premier league so most Americans won’t understand those references in shotty first
Man I remember watching shotty back in highschool, really cool to see you all react to them
Oh shit, you've got to do lunar c vs uno lavos next. Shotty, Lunar and Tony D are the best battlers in the UK
Shox and gemin1 are good too!

This battle got me into battle rap.
Watch the rematch!! Arsonal definitely got this one but Shotty came back with fire in the 2nd battle. Definitely one you guys have to watch!

Shotty's EP, The Teller,. Just is criminally underrated. It's 5 tracks that tell one continues story. Worth a look at even if it's in your own time.
Yes battle rap is very much alive. Dont Flop was the first and biggest UK league and they are still going. They lost steam a few years back and a new league run by Shotty Horror called Premier Battle League picked up the scene. Both leagues still run events.
The USA leagues are huge as well, URL/Smack are one of the biggest but KOTD (Run out of Canada), RBE and iBattle are all great leagues as well. Please watch more battles 🙏👊
I think Jump Off was before Dont Flop? The days of Stig Of The Dump, Verb T, Pro Green, etc.
@@stevemcmosh4271 Yeah Don't Flop definitely wasn't first. Biggest yes but not first.
My bad forgot about jump-off. And I watched the WRCs lol I think I was talking more written leagues 👊
@@Prae1 To be fair it's easy to forget about them because they are long gone now and because DF overshadowed them a bit.
watch anything from Shotty, He is a G>O>A>T. you wont be disappointed!
The lion's den bar might also be a reference to 'the den', a nickname for the football team 'Millwall'. Also a lion is England's national animal. Very clever bars from Arsenal.
What’s funny is Arsenal’s “Away Kit” (jersey) is blue. So why didn’t he wear that one if he’s a crip 🤔
That definitely would have been better as he's battling away from home too. Visual bars lol
@@Trudon damnnn
@@BeforeThisNovemberThey dont color bang anymore. Look up Los Angeles Hood vlogs from the recent years and they dont really care about colors.
@@AnimalAlmighty this battle 11 years old tho
@@BeforeThisNovember Color banging stopped around this time. You are thinking 70s to late 90s. That way of banging is outdated.
Yeah that's real about his uncle who passed away not long before this battle
A ward vs Real Sikh was an instant classic. Definitely check that one out!
Seeing this again after so many years wow battle rap changes quickly. Idk what it is but there’s something different from battles then and battles now
Dont Flop is basically dead due to mismanagement but Shotty has his own league, Premier Battles.
Shotty Horroh has an ep called The Teller. It's one story told throughout the ep. Criminally underappreciated imo. I understand that may be too much to ask for a reaction. But I thought I'd share for those interested.
This the first battle rap I ever saw been hooked since
They are both battle rap legends. Should do the second battle of them to.
if youse want to see the peak of UK battle rap rn you need to watch SHOTTY VS SHUFFLE T on premier battles
U need to watch Oshea and Uno Lavoz they're too funny, either watch when they battled each other or watch their tag team battles
Oshea vs Uno Lavoz
Oshea and Uno Lavoz vs Real Deal and Fresco
Uno Lavoz vs Lunar C
Lunar C and Matter vs Eddie P and Frisko
If you haven’t already you need to watch shorty horror Vs Shuffle T it’s so good
Watch the rematch guys
Blizzard vs Mark grist is usually the first uk battle I introduce people to, then shuffle t and marlo
Dizaster vs Canibus is a CLASSIC, definitely watch it...or Dizaster vs Dumbfoundead
Dizaster v dumbfounded is in my top 4 for sure
you guys need to do more don’t flop for sure, easily the best channel for reactions to uk music 🔥
When Chip was going at everyone Shotty did a dub for him you should check that out its called Jab. His music is fire too, his older stuff at least the last album he did was like a weird indie / rap style sorta thing. His FITB is good too

Not sure if its made clear but for some viewers who dobt know, Arsonal is wearing Arsenal FC gear , football club from London.
Shuffle t and Marlo's compliments battle is one of the funniest things you'll ever see
the reason people thought shotty was better was because a lot of his bars were specifically for arsenol. Whereas 90% of arsenols bars could have been for anybody
Don't flop just came back with an insane event, you should check quill vs gemin1
There is no limits to battle rap.
If you’re new to battle rap, Conceited vs Arsenal is one of the most entertaining battles ever.
I love the way Shotty turned his cap to invite Arsonal closer in.
I forgot how fucking hard Arsonal goes in 😅
I can tell this is going to be my favourite video from you guys. There a part 2 and 3. Need to check them out

Battles to start with in my opinion
1. Daylyt vs B-Magic
2. Pat Stay vs Danny Myers
3. Bigg K vs Illmaculate
4. Dizaster vs DNA
Shotty got that. He was more direct. But Arsonal was so raw, it's still debatable.
Battle rap is no hold barred

Tenchoo vs Big Cannon is another dope UK vs USA dont flop battle.
Man Shotty ended up doing so many songs with Deadmau5, his cadence matches EDM so well it's unreal.
There's a new battle league called Pen Game where they do battles over beats, Don't Flop are still going but business politics has ruined it tbh.

Insanely shit. This was on don't flop. The second battle was a flop. Facts
Both were absolute fire. A true classic in battle rap but i will edge it to Arsonal & I'm British.
Omfg guys, i didnt think youd do battle rap?
Okay, we need:
Shotty vs Arsonal pt.2 on KOTD
And
Soul vs Shox the Rebel on Premier Battles
Dont flop .. Premier battes .. no loose chat .. uk battle rap 🔥🔥
So another late one, when you have time and its not at all a suggestion, they have city based rap squads every few years or something. Like top 5 of Manchester vs Top 5 of London ect. Kinda like a tournament. If i remember the name i'll mention under lol

3-0 arsonal
I think there were lots of references they just didn't get.
1st request - Fresco vs Thesaurus
One of the best battles ever is Rone vs Big T. You will not be disappointed
This is 1 of the battles I always show someone who is new to battle rap
This battle was a few month after shottys uncle passed away fyi
Shotty has always been nice nice but Arsonal has always been special special. I miss battlerap being like this
