"he mess with the cake and I'll Battenberg him" Battenberg is a cake with a checkerboard pattern inside made by cutting it up into sections, and it's also the name of the colored markings on ambulances/emergency vehicles in the UK and other countries, so he's using it as a verb in a novel way to mean both 'cut into sections' and 'send to the hospital.'

It's ridiculous how fucking good they are. They came in as a novelty act and have left everyone else in the dirt for literally years with no breaks. It's really astounding. Remember that they're likely needing extra rehearsal time and endless studio time to get it all perfect and they're touring all the time too. This shit exhausts young people without families but they just handle it all.. Wtf

Food is slang for drugs so its a triple

Literally colder than 99% of the entire drill scene. How mad is that

Just wanted to add in a few explanations to some very British references in their bars, 1. "The bouncer came out and he got weighed in" Weighed in means knocked out. 2. "Then I'm switch suits like I'm Mr Benn" Mr Benn was an 80's kids TV cartoon in the UK where the main character dressed up in different costumes in a costume shop. 3. "I dodged the case, so I flipped the bird" This means i didn't get prosecuted and didn't need to go to prison (Doing Bird). 4. "mess with the cake then I'll Battenberg him" Cake meaning drugs & Battenberg is a type of cake eaten with tea in the UK. 5. "dipped like a Rich Tea biscuit" Popular British biscuit (We do love our Biscuits). 6. "Knock Down Ginger" game played by kids in the UK where you know at someone's door and leg it to wind them up. 7. "Box a man back like I'm munching jollof" Jollof is Nigerian Rice. 8. "Super Kings and a bottle of bourbon" Super Kings are very long Cigarettes sold in the UK. 9. "Let that rip when I'm whipping that German" German refers to a BMW Car. 10. "Flick of the wrist and I left him gurning" Gurning is a weird distorted facial expression (Just Google "Gurning" and look at Photos, You'll understand!) 11. "Just stepped out in a fresh Ben Sherman" Ben Sherman make Shirts. 12. "I was locked in an HMP" HMP is Her Majesty's Prison. 13. "Del Boy, Peckham, they recognise me" This refers to Del Boy the main character of at UK TV Show called Only Fools & Horses (Arguably the Best Sit Com we ever made). 14. "Then he'll get cemented, builder's site" Buried in a Building site. 15. "cone get split like Chevron" on UK motorways they sometimes have Chevron markers that tell you to stay 2 metres apart. 16. "Chavving his jewels" Chavving means Stealing. Hope this helps our American Cousins :P

For those who don't know, Mr Ben is an old school English cartoon about a guy who always wore a suit and every episode he would walk into the changing room of this costume shop try on a different costume each time and get teleported to some crazy arse adventure related to the costume he had on...

The story is crazy too, apparently Pete developed a love of rap music by his granddaughter always playing it in her car when they were together. He told Bas about it, he started rockin to it, and the rest is history. I found them randomly on YT a couple of years ago, and couldn’t fucking believe what I was hearing, or seeing.

You need to check out all of their tracks, they do not miss. Golf, Shuffle, The old estate, both of the window frame cyphers, bearmondsey, quick little freestyle, mr worldwide, lightwork freestyle, the track with Fumez the engineer. I envy you right now, you get to check out their whole collection with fresh eyes. It is inspiring. They have mastered this shit and are legit.

I love that, due to their age, they have generations of phrases and sayings. For eg stand and deliver (your money or your life) is what Highway men would say back in the days of horse drawn carriages when they were going to rob them! They're ace! Keep those old time references alive!

But then he says a bit after "Nightmare, Frederick Kruger" which is Freddy Kruger, but can also refer to Friedrich Kruger, a German WWII literal "Nightmare". That's bars.
