SHUFFLE-T & MARLO VS MARVWON & QUEST MCODY | Don't Flop Rap Battle

[@SaintMiddleton]

I don't see how anyone can not love shuffle t and marlo. They're so likable.

[@kylewilliams2382]

not just that, their flow is so dry, and theyre both very very switched on....i cant spit two bars... but i understand the components, and the purpose of all the ingredients of battle rap, and if you listen to dont flop today its not just about mcs from the dark underbelly of cities now, theyre uni students living in stately homes with mother and father.... proper bright, creative poets just like tupac... literature students, performing arts majors etc . these two are one of my favourite duos

[@jraymond1988]

"Our environmental upbringings based on social and economic circumstances probably really differ" MMMMMMMMMM

[@Kitchywac]

Shuffle T & Marlo are INCREDIBLE!! Comin from an American. Straight Dope!!

[@ZuvioxArts]

Marlo and Shuffle-T are consistent. Very good trait to have.

[@ashen99]

What Marlo & Shuffle said clearly went over everyone's head. The angry, tough guy battles rap is dated and cringeworthy as fuck. The sound of the crowd laughing bodies even the best gun bar.

[@NOLAbrookz]

Acer C really i could give a fuck whats in style , but if your really wanna nitpick , "gun bars" & street style is the most popular & instyle right now and a much larger scale than DF , THE GLOBAL BATTLE FORUMS (rmbva. com & otbva . com) with posters from ENGLAND , AUSTRALIA , NEATHERLANDS , NORWAY / SWEDEN agree 8/10 of the top battlers are street battlers , check the forums

[@NOLAbrookz]

Acer C and Marv & Quest aren't even gun bar / street styled battlerrs so what er you even talkin bout ?? even though i have been a fan of them for a while , they're kinda outdated (2007 is when they were pretty big , back when it was FREESTYLE w/ mixed in premeds , but def comedic styles so you have no point )

[@amanSpawn00]

NOLAbrookz exactly. Only Brits think ALL Americans are about gun bars. More so to black Americans

[@0091william]

amanSpawn00 Exactly.

[@pEr5on4LLy]

Acer C dated and cringeworthy? Try again. Where is Don't Flop now? I'll wait

[@MasamuneStreams]

Probably the most entertaining and fun 2 on 2 battle I've ever seen. I bet it was awesome to watch in person

[@bakerbrown6]

I agree it was funny as hell! I liked both teams but the white guys worked really good together- very tight flow and good jokes

[@jraymond1988]

***** It's weird because I don't consider Quest or Marvwon to be particularly great individually but they form an awesome 2 vs. 2 team. Their battle vs. Soul Khan and DirtbagDan is great as well. Although my favorite 2 vs. 2 of all time is Real Deal/Fresco vs. Soul Khan and DirtbagDan. That said, Marlo and Shuffle T (particularly Shuffle T) are becoming a favorite team of mine.

[@MasamuneStreams]

jraymond1988 I completely agree

[@BigWoe954]

***** wtf Lol have you seen dna & kshine 2 on 2 battle it got all you need

[@Dickie279]

Shuff and Marlo's technique is a hybrid of stand up comedy and battle rap. Glad they've freshened it up, DF was becoming a popularity contest for who had the best CV. These two middle class students are gaining fans by being genuinely funny lads, and mixing it with decent enough bars to win a battle.

[@tonnybyfleet]

I cant stop watching this battle

[@shahjrahman]

A lot of pissed off Americans over here it seems. I can understand the culture shock. Over in the States it's all about guns and hoes. Over here in the UK we know we don't have guns, yes we do have hoes, but we'd rather just have laugh. The American ideology is a bit over the clouds. In the UK we like to keep our feet firmly on the ground.

[@Abernier3]

Haha overgeneralize a little more, you corn ball.

[@shahjrahman]

Pens Suck It's no... I mean... the thing is... I don't.. the problem I... it's just that... I mean.. I just wish you actually read my comment. Try again

[@FentySeroquel]

Seconded.

[@lorddrewcifer7650]

Shah J Rahman This battle was dope. The International Champs vs. the World Champs. This shit is classic.

[@Broot603]

it seems like there are ALOT more pissed off brits in the comments then americans lol

[@ElectrikNYCfunK]

Dope job by DF by putting together some creative 2 vs 2 battles! Thank you from across tha pond!

[@OsofoGriot]

Bloody hell, Marlo's whole game has improved like tenfold from when he came on the scene with Shuffle - and he was good in the first place! Now, his writing (I assume he writes with Shuf and Frankie Phraser) has come on leaps and bounds, his punch lines, his hard hitting bars, just EVERYTHING!

[@ohrightok9750]

these 2 are a problem - they're too skilled to get par'd by any typical angles and they're too openly humble and modest with their "nerdy middle classness" that you can't take that route to break them down.... someone would have to dig up dirt on them to win, and they'd probably still laugh it off and flip it

[@soniaortiz9708]

Even if you dig up dirt on Shuffle ad Marlo they would just admit it and act modestly shameless about it. Basically These guys can do no wrong.

[@hylasgeist1568]

hahahaha! you called it! unbeatable

[@JohnPork-gr3bx]

Charron, Innuendo and Heretic had genius angles of attack against Shuffle, and two of the beat him. 3 legendary performances, shuffle still my goat

[@schouvler25]

Shuffle t and marlo have the weirdest angles. Like them or not theyre super creative, which is more than you can say about so many other battlers...

[@chrissalt2447]

Shuffle and Marlo has brought me back to DF! They're genius!

[@mistaMClaugh]

See I think what shuffle did at the end of the 3rd round clinched it. Like it's such a huge diss to your opponent to do something completely unrelated to them in the final round of the battle. It's just like "sorry you don't really matter that much so we are gonna close out with something more interesting." I fucking love it

[@aaronfledge]

This

[@user-pi2xl4jw3e]

thanks for the hangover

[@enzudesign]

That fiesta car bar though .. :O

[@doGInVain]

Still love watching this battle

[@KristenHanby]

whats the song at the beggining called???

[@gailygoo86]

darude - sandstorm

[@Mrdjhappyman]

You can say what you want about Marlo and Shuffle T being about crowd reactions, but the fact remains that even all the internationals watching loved their angles too. They're growing, and it won't be long before they head over to the states and rep England as well as Eurgh has done in the past. My favourite 2-2 act ever!

[@esmith3998]

I don't really understand much of what Marlo and Shuffle say once they get excited, but did they refer to Marvwon as Daym Drops? LOL @3:20

[@simbachrist2011]

British been doing poetry for like a thousand years. This is great though. Love these guys.

[@pcadamtaylor4262]

Kyle Donahue nothing beats English language

[@Jf_1900]

@@pcadamtaylor4262 sure...

[@LancerFFS]

I fucking love Marlo and Shuffle-T. Funniest bastards in don't flop.

[@ReesBeats]

in tears through out, quality battle.

[@wigzenga]

I never usually do this, but I had to skip through some of Marv and Quests bars, really poor seemed under prepared, I was hoping they'd come like the did against Soul Khan and Dirtbag Dan...

[@MischieviousMI]

Shuffle and Marlo killed this for entertainment value alone. Marv and quest had some bars but they were out of their league

[@Warrigt]

That last turn is great. I'm glad they enjoyed the whole thing.

[@mrshendrex08]

Classic !!! Best battle I've seen in a long time....

[@danielben3797]

Back here in 2019 wishing they still did rap battle :(

[@jamesnorthcote3718]

moodini99 I’m imagining he specifically means marlo and shuffle, who haven’t rapped as a pair for a long time

[@SteelBastard]

Illmac/Thesaurus vs Shuffle-T/Marlo. These dudes work so well together, I've never seen a battle involving them that didn't rule.

[@arsenalmanic]

MARLO & SHUFFLE T are unbelievable. Nothing like it :) Superb job ! These are the only 2 guys worth paying money to watch.

[@kyleward31]

the more i revist this battle the more i enjoy marvwon and quests rounds... i honestly slept on them years back

[@z0ttel89]

these are just 4 guys having a lot of fun, man. Good vibes. Cheers from Germany!

[@Quixstrike]

Simply hilarious!! Props to both crews! Shuffle T & Marlo are great together.

[@MrKeepItTrill]

This actually ended up being a great match, both sides had me in stitches. Marv & Quest's more technical gun bars don't really work on UK comedy rappers, but their delivery was still perfect.

[@gilbertgrape5143]

But fat jokes and fake gangster schemes are REALLY effective against American Smack rappers!

[@jeremyodyssey064]

Marlo is dope I hate when they say he's nothing without shuffle t when in my opinion it wouldn't be as entertaining without Marlo the funniest bars are from Marlo the most laughter is caused by Marlo and shuffle t provides the serious nature and yes he occasionally goofs around with Marlo but he stays serious and stable unlike Marlo who's the opposite the two complement each other perfectly with the right amount of humor and bars

[@percy1ish]

Marlo and Shuffle-T completely killed it!

[@dascientiss]

"Yo mom go to bed in a Hulk Hogan ripoff t-shirt and a back brace" LMAO

[@michaels6411]

Too many battle fans only pay attention to the half of a battle featuring the people they've come to see. Marv and Quest are dope, but they got murdered here.

[@Phantomdirt]

Literally everybody was hoping the end of shufftle t and marlo's third didn't happen...haha.

[@uraharamitchell7250]

Marlo and Shuffle are the best Tag Team duo in Battle Rap history! Please don't argue it, it's incontrovertible (contradiction?)

[@anthonywilliams501]

carter and ATM would give them a run. but you right they would win

[@ryanfloch6054]

Grist and Mixxy ?

[@uraharamitchell7250]

Ryan Floch Aaah, I haven't come across them yet I'll give em a gander, thanks brother

[@kaustik185]

[@texasvet2729]

Shuffle T and Kid Twist

[@templetonpeck393]

Brilliant username.

[@adamtindle4807]

Shuffle and marlo go in like every time, you'd hardly expect a loss from them in any battle and if un-judged they still come out on top

[@eddienorth1063]

Bro icl i thought the guy in the red shirt was shuffle T at the start😭

[@surrealz69]

I remember watching this massacre... The Americans just haven't evolved from that basic "I will shoot your whole family" style of rap. Shuffle-T and Marlo just took them to school.

[@theloniouswu5090]

By ‘the Americans’ you mean these two mid-tier guys? I can assure you Daylyt, QP, Saurus and plenty of others have ridiculous pen game. Go see another slam poetry event.

[@Jumqyy]

See, I live like 10 minutes from Detroit. I see with no debate Marlo and Shuf bodied those 2. I don't know why anyone wants to try and hate. Marv and Quest are past their time now.

[@doubledeuceny]

Expected a lot more from quest and marv, they used to have me in dying in the WRC. Seems like people are giving them a pass cos they got status in battling, them bars were average at best. Shuffle and Marlo killed it.

[@lorddrewcifer7650]

This is a good funny fucking battle. Either way it's a 2-1. Dude, I'm dying laughing

[@OGofOGz]

holy shit!!! marlo and shuffle t are fuckin hilarious!!! i never seen them b4 but i will def check for them now! i cant even front this wus a fuckin bodybag! marv and quest best rd wus tha 3rd!...smh i still got marlo and shuffle 3-0 tho!

[@AngloJoe]

watch their bad bars battle against each other fucking hilarious. XD

[@OGofOGz]

[@gregorn32]

Marlo and shuffle to are these best duo rap battlers put their stuff together great, Clips and DNA are good too tho

[@codybennett244]

Respect to Marv n Quest for how fucking hard they had Shuffle T and Marlo laughing in that last round

[@borskilad]

Marv and Quest's third was fucking hilarious fair play to them, but they still got merked.

[@nickyscoop123]

Yooooo these dudesss mannn when they did the “I had a gun once” scene I felt bad for every single battle rapper that used gun bars more than once in each battle but still can’t blame them IF THATS HOW THEY RAISED but I’d pretty much bet my life that 1 out of 10 really do bring strap to the battle ... not on em lol but it’s in the building so don’t worry !!!! 🤫🤫🤫

[@MooseCastle]

Marv and Quest definitely brought it in the last round but I think Shuffle and Marlo took every round. Chemistry like that isn't easy to find.

This battle is bare jokes. Can't pick a winner because of the entertainment

first time watching Shuffle-T and Marlo. and damn, this was entertaining as fuck. excited to watch them against DBD and Caustic.

[@pcadamtaylor4262]

[@michaelcheapshot3947]

always will be one of my favorite battles ever. and yet the only line I still don't understand to this day, disgrace to real deals line of work. I don't get it man.

[@banksdiggy]

he's a P E teacher.

[@michaelcheapshot3947]

Quest McCody is a PE teacher. I figured it's because hes was a made coach.

[@GChildtheGhost]

High replay value

[@jarrydberkness9396]

Gotta' love how Marlo & Shuffle bodybagged them 3-0, yet they still try to call out for better opponents next time at the end lol. That's kinda weak when people do that, and awkward when they actually lose.

[@skateerssuck]

Like when illmaculate tried to set up a title defence in Cali at the end of his rone match

[@jarrydberkness9396]

Exactly lol. You'd think they'd guage the situation and just... decide to "not" do it lol

[@FriedChkn4Eva]

Love those bad bars, that was great. Need some more of that.

[@grantyou12]

yo is there really a shorrty horror vs lunor c video out there?????? someone let me know whats up??? lol

[@TheRealOTK]

I like that both Marv/Quest and Real Deal decided to use inside joke bars with the "Get into bed or have a fight" shit. No one in the crowd could have possibly caught those. Only after reading blogs/forums or listening to the Dirtbag Dan Show do they make any sense.

[@Obveeus]

I want a friendship with chemistry like Shuffle T & Marlo

I was proud I knew about marve and quest till round 3 lol

[@dnyl1412]

Shuffle T and Marlo for the win 3.0

[@JAD534]

Marlo & Shuffle T vs Thesarus & Illmaculate needs to happen

[@ArseBanditTV]

Eurgh needs to stop paying top dollar for Internationals who write 3 good lines per round and then just phone the rest of it in. Consider the prep time Marlo & Shuffle gave compared to these two, go with who worked harder! I was at the 5th Birthday and Charron wrote his arse off for that battle, yet we have to keep putting up with guys freestyling and riding off their old name? It's not fair to the fans.

[@MrGaz1987]

Reminiscing

[@asureshot]

I can't lie, there content is sharp. Smart and Crafty.

[@BambusKnecht]

Always killing it, shuffle t and marlo for president

[@SlickDangler10]

Yall arguing over these fuckers that dont know you nor will ever know you makes me laugh harder than the best lines in this vid. I appreciate the whole video and glad to see everyone everyone having fun doing this shit like it was supposed to be done. No real animosity, just having fun and clowning.

[@LateLastNight]

Shufflo 1:36 & 9:56 & 18:35

[@jezjarosz6399]

Sick battle. Couldnt call it man. Shuffle t n marlo are by far best team up. Make a team title shot.

[@Ethandials3]

As an American I think on average this is much better than most American battle rappers. Its all opinion I know but I couldn't care less about how fast you can speak if your not saying anything interesting or intelligent. And if all you have is a flow or beat that makes you sound good I consider that more pop music. Now granted flow and beat makes things better but to me it's about your content and most (not all)English rappers I've seen focus on that more.

[@Dbee45]

I am starting to really like UK rappers. Except for Villun... his creeps me out and and his style is annoying and unintelligible. But the others seems quite witty. Funny as hell. Being kind of a cultural/history buff it kinda makes sense to me that British rappers would make good ground in the Battle Rap genre. Brits are actually know for making up jingles on the fly. They been doing it sense the revolutionary war (Yankee Doodle ring any bells?) and probably long before for that. So battle rap, where you basically come up with musical insult towards your opponent, is obviously a small adjustment. With all that being said, when Marv and quest saw that the Hardcore American styles was not cutting it with the crowd they adjusted on the fly and pull out a 2-1 victory. I was impressed because i really thought they were in trouble going into the 3rd round. Its is impressive that they adopted the new style and won the crowd as well as their opponents over.

[@bentaylor10]

+Dbee45 nah bro, english rap is better because we prioritise jokes over masculinity and violence

[@Dbee45]

+ben taylor cultural preference... I'm not interest in debating that. It clearly wont lead anywhere.

[@Dbee45]

+Dbee45 I will add that hip-hop was found on bravado. kinda to say you dont like the esscence of hip-hop about hip-hop...

[@bentaylor10]

Dbee45 And by 'cultural preference' you mean americans lack humour due to their desire to act 'tough' in front of others lol. Just because hip hop was found through violence doesn't mean it's better that way lmao, but each to their own i guess

[@bentaylor10]

I don't write youtube comments to 'have moments' lool, I write them to get a point across. I would say it's more of an 'endorsement' than 'expression', and acting like a 'fucking goof' is suitable considering battle rap is just a hobby where 2 dudes shout stuff at each other lol. At no point did i say we should get rid of violence. To some degree there is a need for it, but it becomes an issue when violence is the centerpoint of every performance because it places limitations on creativity and turns people into aggressive non humorous drones like most american battle rappers. But as i said each to their own.

[@JoekingYMWA]

my dad is back at home hahahaah too much

[@CallumThompson_]
