chip doesn’t fully responded to bugzy til “light work” as many ppl tried dissing him so he was responding to multiple ppl. Notorious by chip x bugzy to settle the beef is worth checking out afterwards
chip did a fire in the booth before bugzy. he spat for a bit, and then called out pretty much the whole grime scene. you will hear some of his talking as the sample in “relegation riddim” by bugzy malone in the next song in the order.
He was clapping back at Tinie Tempah, definitely, who had previously thrown indirects Chip's way in his FitB. People like Big Narstie got their back up, then, predominantly for Chip's comments towards Tinie and Chip's hypocrisy in his eyes, which was due to Chip moving into the commercial realm, whereas he stayed underground or 'urban' as he described it himself. Obviously Chip invited a lot of the heat, too. Seems a lot of the commentary was based on the fact Chip had moved to a label, and people like Bugzy remained independent? Did Narstie have his own label? And was Bugzy not signed to that?
The below is the best breakdown I've seen of the entire event up to Chip's The End. It shows that it wasn't just Chip v Bugzy. Without this context, Chip's responses in this early stage don't make sense. He claps back properly at Bugzy in Light Work. Up to that point it wasn't a proper back and forth. "January 2014: Tinie Tempah Fire In the Booth, Indirects at Chip.

January 2014: Fire In The Booth - Chip (Part 2). Disses and Indirects throughout, in the break between rapping Chip sends for Tinie Tempah and breaks down why he’s mad.

Like Saskilla, Narstie took issue with Chip thinking he could come back to grime after so long and act as if he hadn’t left it behind to go "pop" 14th March 2015: Bugzy Malone Fire in the Booth. Considering Chip had invited people to come at him back in his Fire In The Booth, it was perhaps a surprise that it took two months before somebody took him up on the offer. Bugzy Malone goes in on the second half of the Fire In The Booth, being the third MC to comment on past situations with labels and creative direction. 20th March 2015: Chip - Pepper Riddim, with shots directed at Bugzy, Saskilla, Narstie, DJ Cameo and others.

Bugzy responds to The End"
Ppl forget because chip dropped tracks like oopsy daisy he hasn’t got the killer bars that hit hard he was a kid in the mainstream but he’s still got underground presence
Bit of a lengthy one but dot rotten - spitfire he goes in crazy for like 7 minutes straight, he had a famous beef against P money dot rotten produced for most of the UK scene under the name Zeph Ellis he doesn't rap anymore but I believe he still produces was one of the best to ever do grime 🔥
Kill Shot has nearly 100 million more views than Rap Devil so that theory doesn’t really work,and Eminem has had hooks on some of his best diss tracks,loving the reactions though 👍🏻
Chip reference a old legendary grime Beef between Skepta vs Devil man where most people agree Skepta won and skep is the south & devil man is from Birmingham witch is in the north, so it's similar to Bugz vs Chip since Bugz is north & chip is south.
Who remembers his song Who Are You when he was still called Chipmunk I am da grime scene saver Rudolf raver Chick-King eater T-high streeter Gladesmore jumper Addidas sneacker P-rada weara Lyrical mc tearer
when Chip spits "chip don't run out of bars, Chip never runs out of bars" thats like his signature bar he's used since the dawn of his career. This isn't something Chip only did, it was very common for Grime rappers to have a signature bar just like how in USA hip hop it's very common to have Rapper with signature ad-libs. everyone did it before 2010 and since then that trait has faded away in the culture.
Am go glad youre recapping on this beef👊 This was a reply to multiple people the clash actually starts with Lightwork but cant wait for you to react to the clash👊💪🔥🔥
Please make sure you react in the right order. Chip made a couple of diss tracks to bugzy after this. And you MUST REACT TO YUNGEN VS CHIP!! This was biggggg was after bugzy.
I get what you mean about the hook thing, but I don’t know if that’s really classed as a hook tbh. chip always says that he never runs out bars. it’s just a thing that he does. not a hook as such imo, but that’s just my opinion.
Just found your channel andd watched a few vids but give chip his respect he been the grime scene for 16 years now he ain't no newbie. Look at his stormzy disses
Another comment, but just to clarify this track isnt all about bugzy maybe like the beginning section he was beefing multiple people on this track and at this period in time.
After the best check out the tracks they did together, 'Notorious' and 'Grown Flex' They bring each other out at shows now and have a lot of respect for each other
Am with you on this track in particular, that 'Chip don't run out of bars' refrain was pure filler for way too long. Chip is top tier battle rapper, Flowers was the takedown of the century, but he got flaws too
Come on do the beef in order at least 😩 Chip vs stormzy chip vs yungen stormzy vs Wiley and chip didn’t do fire in the booth because at the time bugZy was signed to Charlie alots label and he does go on and call Charlie out
