8 years later, this still stands up as one of the deepest cuts. My boy Grist out here slaying all these Mancunian pups. Shits all over US battles that rely on music to be half-decent, too. 🧐

Can’t believe this was 11 years ago. Blizzard’s wordplay is fantastic. Grist is legendary.

These guys would be great doing Shakespeare. I can just see them doing Tybalt and Mercutio.

I can appreciate this for sure!

Damn feels like only yesterday I watched this when it dropped! 2011😵

watching this a year later after the mark grist hype has gone I've noticed blizzard was highly slept on, grist still took it but blizzard did get slept on a lot

I WAS THERE!!!! sorry, just got too excited lmao. Diztract was amazing!!!! He killed all of them. I would love to see him battle blizzard. And considering he is like 17/18 (giving a guess by the way he looks) he seemed so experienced like someone who had been battling for over 10years. I want to see him on DF. and thanks for providing the twitter name :)

You know you've lost when the MC throws his head back to laugh at your opponent's verbal jabs

This is great now imagine seeing this man live follow Mark grist about he's doing bits

Best days of don't flop

Mark Grist was in our lessons for a few weeks. Absolutely brilliant!

He wears a suit to a rap battle, the definition of classy

this is the best battle video from dont flop

One of the classic Don't Flop battles

Mark Grist absolutely smashed it! Need to see that guy more in Dont Flop

I actually think Bradley/Blizzard did well to keep his cool, and laugh at Mark's lines. *Apply cold water to the burned area*

Tbh watching all of blizzards and grists battles they are both really clever. They would be a good dynamic duo

My class had a supply yesterday, this explains everything.

I wasn't expecting too much from Mark never hearing him before but he fucking destroyed Blizzard by miles.

Intro song I've never heard someone try and jack MF Doom's style so much.

Had him come to my school today. Absolute legend

Forever a fav love this

Teacher is great. The kid deserves respect too - razor sharp

Man thah teach is a frickin legend

both were amazing and entertaining

dee bee Since when did truth stop counting as meaningful bars? He's right. The faster the pace of rapping, the more words and the harder it is to decipher the meaning of what is said, the more it all resembles inflation. And the "impressing" effect of it being said fast, I would also say, hides the fact that less is actually being said.

@deebee2781

9 жыл бұрын

yes I get that, but the meaning of what he was was that blizzards bars make sense, as its a double negative, rap is about being smart, if you can insult and/or disrespect your opponent by using smart bars then that makes you a better mc, if there's "mc 1" and "mc 2" for example in a battle and mx 1 comes out with more insulting bars but aren't that clever, but mc 2 comes out with bars that aren't as insulting but are clever then mc 2 wins, that's how it works, so basically the smarter mc is the better mc, and being a victim of accidental-double-negative side of things is not a good/clever thing to be doing, specially when you're supposed to be a English teacher

@holm81

9 жыл бұрын

dee bee I guess I understand your logic, ie. that the smartest bars always wins. I think I agree with that. Though I can imagine clever and unfunky bars losing to funky fresh ones, qua this also being a musical/soul genre. Principally, and from battle rap viewing experience, I completely agree though. Where I would disagree is weather double negatives are clever or not. I know formally, you ain't supposed to do none of that shit. But taking the history of rap into account, seeing as it has grown out of a ghetto culture, where this type of language is common, I think it's a type of flair and actually some kind of ability to listen to the form of the medium and adapt to it's informality and flowpatterns - and thus, really quite clever. Both Grist and Blizzard came correct though. Both where clever. I have to give respect to Grist for staying so much within the limits of regular battle rap though, iscold dissing Blizzards moms etc. Shit is tough. Peace.
