Arthur Morgan vs Trevor Philips - RAP BATTLE! - (RDR2 vs GTA5) - ft. Shwabadi & EthanCVA

[@misjif2341]

Fun fact: Arthur said "fuck" a total of two times in the entire game. He hates Trevor so much, he said it three times in a little over two minutes.

[@ChokolateMoka]

If this is actually intentional, the attention to detail is as wild as Star Lord "Fuck" on the third verse of Starlord VS Jack.

[@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470]

If I recall there is actually a third time in the game he can say it as part of a camp song

[@CapitanJorge24]

​@@ChokolateMoka i doubt its intentional, its not smth people care about as much compared to starlord saying it

"His wife died for less change on her eyes!" For anyone wondering, this is a reference to Arthur's wife and son who both were killed by outlaws for 15 cents, and back in the day they used to bury the dead with two quarters because the eyes kept opening up.

[@michaelthesavior8740]

Two lives were worth 30 cents to them? Damn that's a cold bar Trevor went for

[@Kedamohno]

maybe i missed some of the lore, but i dont think they were married? he just stuck around as a dad because it was the least he could do (but also, he only visited sometimes? i think)

I love how in Arthur's part, the instrumental has a more wild western feel to it but on Trevor's part the instrumental has a more GTA San Andreas/hood vibe.

Arthur Morgan: GOD DAMITE DUTCH I GOING TO CUT YOUR DAME MOLE OFF IF I HERE ONE MORE PALN!!!!!

[@PivotXChannel]

"Wanna get wasted? I got rounds you'll drown in So when you go to hell, tell Lenny that you found him" -Explicitly a threat to leave Arthur wasted (famous phrase meaning dead from the GTA franchise) with rounds of ammunition, but also a pun on alcohol with "wasted" and "rounds" -Trevor is telling Arthur he'll find Lenny in hell when he kills him too -There's also a quest in RDR2 where Arthur has to find Lenny in a bar when they're both drunk, tying together the two lines Brilliant writing!

[@UniquerHandle]

Also, in that quest, one of the things Arthur shouts while he thinks he's found Lenny is literally "Found ya Lenny!"

[@NoahSponcil]

Honestly I thought he was talking about Lenny from “Of Mice and Men”

[@Wertyber]

found ya Lennaaahhh

[@jlau9268]

Yes Trevors lines are slightly underrated it seems he did very well too "Hey there cowboy guess your in luck, you can suck my nuts and pretend i'm Dutch" Reference to how he killed Johnny from GTA 4, also saying sexual things to him and calling him cowboy (because Arthur really is one of course) and saying he looks like he looks up to Dutch so much he would do that. "Cough it up, no not the blood what is wrong you?" Arthur is revealed to have TB in the game, and coughs up blood because of it. "While your wife and kid died for less then the change on their eyes" In the RDR2 time line, coins would be put on the dead person's eyes because they keep opening, and they were killed for just 10-15 cents, which is prob of lower monetary value then what they are laying in their graves with. And more but this is already a whole paragraph 😂

[@michaelthesavior8740]

"I'd sell your heart of gold and use that light dough to buy smokes!" Was a really clever line from Trevor, even if you say Arthur won you gotta give Trevor credit for putting up a fight

[@TruthSpeaker2.0f]

Arthur did win imo. But Trevor did put up a fight.

[@PowerKnowing]

I don't get the bar.

[@Bonney1018]

@@PowerKnowing Heart of gold is a song about salvation and redemption, Arthur was trying to achieve those things before he died, therefore he tried getting a heart of gold. Trevor is basically saying hes gonna take Arthurs heart of GOLD and sell it to buy smokes. (Hes saying Arthur had a bad heart nonetheless so he wouldn't get much money for it)

1:52 I love the detail of the 'mission' name in the corner. Great battle as usual Freshy!

"died for less than the change on her eyes" was also because they used to put change on dead people eyes because it kept opening.

I've been waiting for a good GTA battle. And to see Arthur Morgan on the other side of it was so good. From the Cut on the Neck, to The robbing a Trainwreck, to the Dutch line. This was perfect. And Shwabadi as Arthur was the best cast possible. Great work to everyone who helped!

[@KyleKringle]

[@37Not73]

fr so smooth and great line tbh

[@jlau9268]

The line "Cough it up, not the blood, fuq what is wrong with you" is wild too. It's a reference to Arthur having TB and coughing up blood at times 😅

[@TheR3alAxel]

Okay, first, Arthur won. It was really close, but he went for the throat more than Trevor did. "My poor horse would drop from all the baggage you got So maybe get lost, like this is the mall and I'm your pops." Ouch "Where do you get off blabbering about attraction? You don't get a passing glance from gals 'til you kidnap 'em." Double Ouch "Let's finish what's started, can I get a witness protection? I got bullets for your name and no more Brad-skull to catch 'em." Yeah, he's dead __ Secondly, the production for this was insane, with top-notch quality in the green screen and editing. The beat was snappy and seamlessly transitioned between Trev's and Morgan's verses. __ Third, the writing, mwah! Kanal shows a great understanding of each character, giving them equal opportunity to verbally thrash one another. The performances of Schwabadi and Ethan added to that layer of character writing. __ Finally, this battle is easily one of the best Kanal has ever produced. I give it a 10/10 for its amazing writing, stellar production, catchy beat, and perfect performances from each actor. __ So far, this is the best rap battle of the year.

[@KarmaReigns420]
