[@AF-Twice]

This is a creative concept. It actually takes alot of skill to deliver friendly bars with the same approach as disrespectful bars. Arsonal was nice. Very impressive.

[@maximsamfira688]

A lot*

[@daniel_najar]

Never thought I'd see Arsonal being respectful 🤣

[@tjmasterbarber2664]

Ars was highly respectful

[@rizalbigboy]

If Rone can get Ars to do a compliment battle, I believe he can get a dizaster vs math Hoffa

[@707ridah]

😄 🤣 😂 that is facts 💯, if Rone can get ARS in a who's the nicest complement battle. I would pay good money to see Hoffa VS Diz and why not? Who cares if they had beef back in the day. They men, yoy have beef, you settle it and let it go.. now let's see who can be NICEST 😄 🤣 LETS GO

[@michaeltavares7190]

Diz vs charron would be more impressive

[@LyricBossYT]

good luck 😂

[@808Xian]

Ever since pat & rone did theirs years ago, I always wanted to see one of ars.

[@ajvideogameclips5416]

The fact that rone got arsenal on this type of rap battle is big in the rap battle community he making moves also helping them teach a whole different demographic thru barstool dope keep it up rone 💯

[@B.L.K.S_808]

Facts. Ars known for being the most disrespectful yet here he is! Gotta love this 🙏🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@barryholiday8998]

👍🏻👏

[@kareemrhouila4023]

If by Rone you mean macaroni, and if by macaroni you mean money then yeah, rone got Arsenal to do this battle.

[@yep2997]

Oh some real shit its pretty whack to me.. it shouldn't be him. A black folks can't have shit

[@TGRnnj]

Barstool dope?

[@ThomasBoyce5000]

Seeing Arsonal being nice is like Bizarro Superman

[@xgerrant33dx39]

😂😂

[@Chefboiardae1]

RIP (REBUTTAL IN PEACE) PAT STAY!!! The legend helped birth Compliment Battles! He was different. S/O to Philly Swain & Arsonal!

[@MMTBenzo]

Man I never thought I would say this about a battle with Arsonal (even a compliment battle) but this was wholesome as hell lol

[@niebsy5973]

Barstool gotta up their KZbin algorithm game because this is an amazing and highly produced video but only has 400 views and 9 comments in an hour

[@Badoopboop]

It’s honestly just the battle rap culture.

[@Badoopboop]

I know HELLA fire battles that have little views. Go check the first compliment battle ever…. Or any shuffle T/Marlo battle for that matter lmao.

[@byHexted]

Bro what the hell are they supposed to do do you know what an ALGORITHM is? Bc you can’t just “up your game” for it it’s like a super weird thing that promotes certain videos but not other ones. They normally promote shitty video game videos Bc they get uploaded every day and are like 30 minutes long. Videos that take a lot of time to make normally get no views and don’t get pushed that’s why animators got basically ran off KZbin, Bc it takes them months to make a 3 minute video and they don’t get payed enough for it

[@lebumcames3615]

KZbin algorithm is notoriously awful when it comes to battle rap. So hard to find a battle unless you remember both names of the battlers

[@MendozaSpeaks]

Bro Arsonal is such a phenomenal rapper

[@kyle896]

Go watch his battle against shotty

[@jimalemartinez]

He cool. Let's not reach though 🤷🏾‍♂️😂

[@lottybee]

@@jimalemartinez LMFAO wym

[@jimalemartinez]

@@lottybee Arsonal being "phenomenal" as far as his tenure within the culture is one thing, but to say his RAPPING abilities are phenomenal is an incredible reach 😂

[@jaybraazy]

@@jimalemartinez u weird

[@lordleo9047]

I DIDN’T RECOGNIZE SWAIN. HE DROPPED SO MUCH WEIGHT HOLY SHIT

[@A.Servidor]

Lol it threw me the whole way through

[@707ridah]

Seeing ARS being this respectful just shows all of us how versatile battle rappers can be and how they mind can go from I'm gonna merk you to shake your hand and show you love

[@ShadyMcKnight]

I was just catching up on these today, and all of a sudden a new one dropped? Great luck for me

[@leafdidit]

Goodz vs Charlie Clips would be 🔥 on this platform not to mention hilarious

[@mookmillz1506]

DNA TOO

[@damonlaw8218]

Man they wud have me dead with some shit like this

[@Phuckoff619]

It's so weird seeing Ars being nice but he's just as good. Love it. Swain lost hella weight but haven't changed his crazy style. Love it too

[@RifWayOfLife]

The community needs more of these even if it isn’t on this platform!📈 This is growth✊🏿

[@d.t.6072]

The NICEST? That sounds like it should go against Arsonal's way of life. 😂

[@propaneoaklane8781]

It was alot of back handed🤚🏾 compliments in this one🤣

[@floatingaway420]

I was unaware this was a thing. Not the nicest battles I've been following the whole time. I mean arsonal doing a compliment battle. What? Sold.

[@Seekbenji]

This is the type of battle raps we need in this day time and period.

[@mr.onehundon2437]

This shyt was wack 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@justarandominternetdude2579]

Ngl, it’s weird to see Ars being hella nice in a battle.

[@Slimeyphuk]

Arsonal on a compliment battle lmao 😂😂

[@ThomasBoyce5000]

Bizarro Superman

[@doralburnett9886]

Thanks to everyone involved that made this possible.

[@unseenorheard]

Arsonal was amazing like always. Philly Swain with the backhanded compliments like the other commenter said. Seems like he wants smoke. Now i needa see Ars vs swain in a real battle. GTX set it up!

[@AsiaDanceScene]

Ars had a couple too, especially with those Tech Nine bars. they could well be looking for a battle.

[@johnparker8268]

Yooo real shit I was wondering if anyone else was peeping that they was throwing jabs at each other….yea but it was surprising seeing Ars up here… yea yea yea swain lost some serious weight hope it’s good maan…peace out

[@damonlaw8218]

Yea that trick trick comment but ars came back with the tech 9 but he did keep sending them

[@yeerotrifecta2922]

This was honestly just wholesome family fun. Already love it (and you)

[@deranged_nubreed]

Can’t wait to see the next card this compliment battle league is 🔥 rone dope af for bringing battle rap to barstool an the dope thing is a lot of ppls been wanted these dudes to battle each other an it’s finally happening but it’s in another world they have to sharpen those pens an compliment as best as possible

[@tmtisfresh21]

I keep catching glimpses of Pat at the back. RIP to a legendary soul.

[@Skooskootv]

Salute and Respect from Newark 973....Big Jersey and Mr 215 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@RXBVRY]

Arsonal in a compliment battle ?! 🤣🤔

[@JacksonJonez]

I was just admiring my verse side profile in her battle and then see Arse just dropped too let’s go 😂

[@RashidMBey]

Arsenal actually went hard af. Philly Swain... was weak. Just passive aggressive. Doesn't even feel like he knows how to be kind or loving to another person succeeding that's not him. Sad, really.

[@fightstage6201]

This shows how skilled ars is honestly. Flexibility is proof of skill in any field. Also Swain was heavily slept on and one of my favorite battles from back then.

[@robertmatthews9650]

If there was ever a dispute over Rones legendary status and influence over the game, this settles it. Never thought this would be possible.

[@TGRnnj]

How is Arsonal spittin kind bars like he battlin...this is why he's my favorite lol

[@mrphones8622]

HOW MANY UK DUDES HERE!!THE THINKING WTF

[@elreygusano7202]

Mr. Respectful!

[@stevegirard1617]

This is so dope. Such a great idea. I use to show everyone the Pat Stay and Rone compliments battle, shits so funny. But noone can watch these and not remember Pat Stay. Great way to keep his memory alive, Rone. P.S. Never knew Ars was capable of not being disrespectful.. Rest In Peace, Pat.

[@AvalancheBT]

best videos this channel uploads. Shoutout Rone

[@angelcruz-yq8ty]

Wtf!! ARS is amazing 🤩 I’m always speechless 😶 he’s Newark NJ’s top representative and the world’s greatest “ever” Battle rapper. Bless up ARS ! U make it look eazy.

[@kaibricturner8836]

This is dope! Shout out Philly Swain/Arsonal! 💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bigdogtmak1624]

Phillly was dissing ars the whole battle I was wondering if someone would try and throw some diss’s in there

[@pkdj00munchees]

Can't wait to see Ars

[@AvarClan]

This was phenomenal in many ways.

[@richardharris9507]

I can't even lie this is one of the best battles I've ever watched I love the respect as much as the disrespect

[@jrallday]

Wow this battle rap concept is fire 🔥 🔥🔥

[@garretindall2820]

King Disrespectful in a compliment battle, CRAZY 🤣😂🤣😂

[@yami-kay9099]

Love this series. ❤️

[@tmt1675]

Swain lost all that weight and his head still the size of a Rhinos hahah

[@medaanhil4133]

I was just thinking about how i would like battle rappers to this.

[@MrMotion30]

Never knew they battled I always been a Swain fan since Grindtime days

[@DJwizz76]

Did not expect to Mr. Disrespectful Arsonal in a compliment battle lol

[@Hollywoodhec]

Arsonal was a great pull.

[@LieDetectorMusic]

I got nothin but a smile seeing Mr. Soo Respectful!!!! Shout to Rone and the whole Nicest Team

[@anselboris2228]

This is the best battle rap ever. Brother love....

[@PardonMySwaggy]

I doubt Philly swain ever watched one of these types of battles so he misunderstood the objective. He the older brother that play with the baby and play too rough. Now we gotta call 911

[@fightstage6201]

This actually inspires me to love more in the world.

[@damonlaw8218]

Ars flow was still doing numbers even respectfully

[@GIBSKAN4351]

THIS HARD ASF I LOVE IT💪🏾💯🎯

[@jojoallegedly]

Ars was actually spazzin 😂

[@chrisb6296]

Philly seems lacklustre / low energy

[@LansingMusicTV]

Arsonal and a respectful battle is brilliant

[@logansilvernail7948]

Seeing Arsonal respectful is crazy

[@jharris187]

I bet this is how it would sound like if Common was to ever enter the battle rap arena...lol

[@AsiaDanceScene]

Modern Common, lol. Old-school Common brought the smackdown to Ice Cube who was the king of gangsta rap at that time

[@jharris187]

@@AsiaDanceScene lol if you say so. I doubt Ice Cube took him seriously.

[@plutonianenigma8724]

This concept is fire and creative. Backhanded compliments the whole time lol. I wouldn’t have recognized Philly Swain no cap

[@robbarnhill87]

U can tell they wanna rap

[@billybonez5281]

i felt that “cable in his name since he was 2” part 😭

[@manicmondo9710]

Dude everyone’s coming out of retirement for this rone found a niche

[@Justwatchingvideos504]

Never change Swain lol super unique. Ars was great as usual

[@moneyryzo7489]

Philly was corny I’m sorry…& he talk like he just made it to remembering his rounds…but ARS killed it, so precise in every round!

[@joea867]

It's possible Philly was freestyling the whole time. Check his 10 year old battle with daylyt. I think his entire 3rd round was freestyled. So in terms of written he can come off bad but if he's actually freestyling it's impressive

[@montezelynem4510]

Yea hands down Ars the best out of Jersey.

[@Rickybobby702]

Lmao… this was hard af

[@Pvision-LA]

Is it me but when ars rapping you still expected some disrespectful shit to come out his mouth😂

[@GoiiFTW]

Swain wasn't focused I felt his bars but he needed more energy good battle tho

[@YRASFC]

🔥🔥🔥

[@tynodollaasign]

This was a real ass battle lmao rebuttals and all🤣🤣🤣

[@jdubb6557]

Bro I did not just see Ars in a compliment battle😭😭😭😭 S/O RONEEE

[@sumbody6650]

That was a dope!! Battle

[@praiseone35]

I feel like I'm in Danny Myers's parallel universe even seeing "Arsonal" & "Compliment" in the same sentence

[@Bully50]

Since 2 years old Le was letting his mother put the cable in his name 😂😂😂😂😂😂 felt ✊🏾

[@strongarm9904]

If I’m being honest, I’m just here to support Rone.

[@paullaney5016]

why does ars HATE Hollow so much? Hollow easily beat philly swain and we all seen it!

[@CashNYC]

this was fire love it

[@Sharkcity_187]

These bars are the nicest pun attended 🤣

[@RoyaltyMAD]

Arsonal giving complaints is so refreshing and I’m hear for it being from jersey myself!!!

[@AnonYmous-nu1xs]

I knew Arsonal would be dope since his style is disrespect and all he needed to do was flip that. You would've thought that Philly would prepare more.

[@cbgdmv5927]

🔥🔥 content

[@ThPrnRcn]

this went exactly how i thought it would.

[@SURREALMOOKIE]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Intubationpostmortem]

Jalapenos are like ice to him, on his burgers he add pepper spray ✊⌛🫣

Wish Pat Stay vs arsonal had this battle . But R.I.P Pat

Whose next?

[@masonictraveler6558]

The voice Philly does kill them with kindness that’s a Jamaican impression right.

[@vipset87]

wtf is philly swain doin? i dont think he understood the assaignment

[@zakariamuraguri7000]

Ars is a legend

[@wavydonjuan]

Aye that’s lit I see what they doing

[@byHexted]

I love how these dudes have no idea how react Bc they’re so used to having to like keep a straight face and not look hurt but now they have to try not to smile

[@jeffreyolivier9777]
