no one is panicking lol... firstly is not a clash its a cypher so they are flowing off each other back to back , only diffrence i see is there content and i agree thats where mr shines cause he aint there to impress. stomzy fully merks this too and ghetts delivery is actually mad. potter is good but going on about going to jail is just dead now and i dont think hes got anything else to talk about tbh. ... its comes down to image vs substance.
