BLIZZARD VS MARK GRIST | Don't Flop Rap Battle

[@silasmartin5210]

Mark’s 2nd verse was the most complex and well delivered “your mum” joke in history

[@komamix]

Anyone here, 12 years later? Im back.

I'm here. Just referencing this in a Reddit post.

[@garethhook9972]

Yes

[@bentaylor10]

blizzard had good bars but terrible delivery, incredibly rushed. Marks fluency while spitting earned him the win tbh

[@MrCjGamble]

Be there and you will hear it with more open ears than you headphones. The crowd helps. Like watching a football game on tv or in the stadium!

[@alsadig6727]

True plus Mark is an English teacher

[@Ethan-Entah]

@@alsadig6727 & yet he still said don't mean nothing. He certainly won this, but you would think he knew his double negatives.

[@Usdi1999]

@@Ethan-Entah he said that because it rhymed and fit the meter...

[@Ethan-Entah]

@@Usdi1999 From a rap technicals pov I understand why he did it, but being a teacher you'd think he would've thought of a way of saying it grammatically correct.

8 years later, this still stands up as one of the deepest cuts. My boy Grist out here slaying all these Mancunian pups. Shits all over US battles that rely on music to be half-decent, too. 🧐

Major props to Blizzard for being a good sport. They both seem like cool guys.

[@T-fq6vy]

I’ve met him! He came to my school to do a presentation on poetry a few years ago, but did a sort of meet and greet after. He was a really cool and nice guy and even performed one of his verses in front of the whole of y9 😂

[@slimgrimley]

Man that was a slaughter xD Props to Blizzard though, not only did he take take his defeat like a champ, his verses weren't anything to sniff at themselves.

[@maryjeedda3983]

I WAS THERE!!!! sorry, just got too excited lmao. Diztract was amazing!!!! He killed all of them. I would love to see him battle blizzard. And considering he is like 17/18 (giving a guess by the way he looks) he seemed so experienced like someone who had been battling for over 10years. I want to see him on DF. and thanks for providing the twitter name :)

Lol. This was awesome. Thoroughly enjoyed :)

[@deebee2781]

"hides the fact they don't mean nothing" he's supposed to be a English teacher and he comes out with this 😂😂😂

[@holm81]

dee bee Since when did truth stop counting as meaningful bars? He's right. The faster the pace of rapping, the more words and the harder it is to decipher the meaning of what is said, the more it all resembles inflation. And the "impressing" effect of it being said fast, I would also say, hides the fact that less is actually being said.

[@SamHen99]

holm81 I think he meant because it's a double negative...

[@holm81]

JumpUpSoldier Point taken. :) But it's after all rap, which was born out of, and continues to use slang. IMO for the better.

[@deebee2781]

yes I get that, but the meaning of what he was was that blizzards bars make sense, as its a double negative, rap is about being smart, if you can insult and/or disrespect your opponent by using smart bars then that makes you a better mc, if there's "mc 1" and "mc 2" for example in a battle and mx 1 comes out with more insulting bars but aren't that clever, but mc 2 comes out with bars that aren't as insulting but are clever then mc 2 wins, that's how it works, so basically the smarter mc is the better mc, and being a victim of accidental-double-negative side of things is not a good/clever thing to be doing, specially when you're supposed to be a English teacher

[@holm81]

dee bee I guess I understand your logic, ie. that the smartest bars always wins. I think I agree with that. Though I can imagine clever and unfunky bars losing to funky fresh ones, qua this also being a musical/soul genre. Principally, and from battle rap viewing experience, I completely agree though. Where I would disagree is weather double negatives are clever or not. I know formally, you ain't supposed to do none of that shit. But taking the history of rap into account, seeing as it has grown out of a ghetto culture, where this type of language is common, I think it's a type of flair and actually some kind of ability to listen to the form of the medium and adapt to it's informality and flowpatterns - and thus, really quite clever. Both Grist and Blizzard came correct though. Both where clever. I have to give respect to Grist for staying so much within the limits of regular battle rap though, iscold dissing Blizzards moms etc. Shit is tough. Peace.
