Jambo killed it, not to say Rawsoul came with lethal bars, but so did Jambo, Rawsoul has a bit more style and all the boys are still learning, the battles are a big pond across the way imo, sure look at Dizaster, doesnt come with the illest most unique bars, but his delivery, presence and own style kill all the time, at the moment. no one loses anyway the lads arent half as fussed as folk on the net (real talk). BIG UP DFITV! BO!
@SeminarioMAE there is a battler called 'Rick Reilly' who has used limerick rhyme structure in their battle verses, and got tremendous crowd reaction to it. Acapella battling actually has very little by way of 'structure' other than that rhyme has to be involved somewhere, so yes limericks could be used, but to say poetry written by the Irish must be in limerick form is patronising in the extreme. I do think more original approaches to battling would be good, but not abandoning it entirely.
Cracking battle. As said below, Jambo got a better reaction from the crowd for some pretty average lines but they were not his mates I understand - the crowd just like him, he's a fan favourite. His line about skulling tea and eating milky bars though got one of the biggest cheers - wtf?!Rawsoul's lines were better than Jambo's- simple as. However, Jambo's OT verse was better and won it. Overall I wouldn't complain about the result.
How has this battle not got more view's, serious personals from both m.c's jambo edge's due to his aggression and crowd reaction , DFI need to think about sending jambo to battle someone in don't flop, i would like to see him battle sensa but don't think that would happen.
First time I've watched this in a long time Jambo took the first round but Rawsoul took the last 2 . . Clearly the crowd had a big influence on this one
listen,right,yeah,the whole crowd should just pay the money at the door and then shut the fuck up...the whole time their there,text each other if you have to talk,just make sure you set your phones to silent as your payin in at the door,people cheering for the favourites,cant be havin that,and bar the bars at the venues,people drinking leads to them having a good time and maybe even talking loudly..big no no,in fact even the emcees should keep it down,in case anyone starts to get a headache XD
@johnnyboybehan. thats a fair point, no i dont know him so he might not be a muppet. he did act like a muppet during this battle imo. i dont really rate him personally but he is probaly a sound bloke.
I don't think battles should be won because of presence and delivery. After all it's about who has better raps. Rawsoul had better raps here so he should of won. It's about the rhymes you say not how you say them
@AlanFlaaah Ah yeah i know but ua said this is the best battle in dont flop. Its not in dont flop. DFI is seperate now its not dont flop the last 6 months!
@SeminarioMAE that's like saying if an American plays soccer then they are pretending to be a working class British person. Maybe they just really like soccer/rap. If you break it down, it's only a form of written and performance poetry anyway, don't take it so serious. Everyone's doing it now.
i thought rawsoul defo took it in 3.. he came with a big variety of flows and styles, switched it up and was relevant.. jambo was also good and had some great lines but lyrically rawsoul was too good and had some insane wordplay that went over the heads of the crowd it seems.. and fuckin hate people talkin over the MC's during the battle, they need to shut the fuck up!! sick sick battle well done lads
@AlanFlaaah I think i know what ya mean but this battle isnt on dont flop so its not the best battle on dont flop. Its like calling it the best battle on sky sports!
great battle!! ha wats with the last judge, first he said 3-2 to rawsoul when there is only 3 rounds ....he thought rawsoul won but said o.t just for the sake of it, thats not the way to judge a battle if u think someone won say it..annoying.
great battle but jambo shouldnt have pushed him during it the whole point of battling is to win and intimidate with your bars and pushing your opponent is a cop out it took from an otherwise quality performance from jambo the mc's shouldnt be allowed to touch each other but still a quality battle rawsoul was great too
fuuuuuuuckin whopper battle !!!! Made me night watchin this have to say, the decision was the right one despite what people are sayin on here about the crowd gettin behind him....Im sorry but Im fairly sure thats the whole fuckin point of doing the ting on stage in front of an audience, no ??
@brenjaminsteele [contd]....For example the best line of the battle, Jambo's puff/chemtrail one.. was barely out his mouth and that section of the crowd start going nuts like a pantomime when I know for a fact not one of them got the joke. And it wrecks his verse when he has to keep stopping for them to finish their little cheers. Anyway rant over.. good battle."
@jonnyboybehan ye wow your judging me by my youtube name which i made a year and a bit ago well fucking done, ye i'd say i know shit all when all the music i listen to comes out of some one from dfi ye thick, if jambos big then why hasnt he released a mix tape of his own? dont know how that wasn't given to rawsoul he was robbed
@ValChronification Lame. They should come up with their own cultural phenomena instead of ripping it off from black americans. Doubtless these Irish have limericks and whatnot, you don't see blacks in Harlem having limerick contests.
id love to see jambo battle in cork to see how he gets on !! seems shit enough compared to nash and rawsoul only he has the crowd behind him in dublin. pure overhyped, judges were just crowd pleasing.....
