[@SwantonSexBomb]

Caustic got legit upset at the start of the 3rd. Automatic loss.

[@amanSpawn00]

Jamel Wright Not as bad as Fraud's battle vs Cortez. #FL3

[@sammyb198]

haven't watched many of his battles but caustic fucking winds me up in the few i have seen!! Hope soul smashes him up again.

[@dannyapeshit]

Cash Money He's annoying in this battle because honestly hitting people in the dick is super lame. But in all honesty, with all his weak points aside, he's one of the great battlers in history. I haven't really seen him "truly" lose since his freestyle battle with Dizaster and that was several years ago.

[@georgetravos2492]

Them Brits are good at just winning u dont want them to win sometimes but u know they won nd also deep down its not that u dont want em to win coz u dont like the style they bring its just coz its rap battle but they know how to kill

[@dannyapeshit]

Jamel Wright It think it's debatable, JC really just brings bars that could be directed to anyone and plus Caustic made that battle about his controversy with Arcane. JC might have edged it at best, but by no means did he "crush" him lol.

[@MasamuneStreams]

Marlo & Shuffle T are amazing

[@lloydhighton8044]

Marlo and shuffle t just kill it every time they just flow so smoothly off each other its amazing to watch and they make it look easy they have totally stepped the 2-2battle scene up a notch and there looking tuff to beat

[@BoneIdolUK]

Caustic is the biggest hypocrite, he defends what he did to Jefferson Price and yet after Shuffle and Marlo's 3rd round about his son is gets so pissed off that he does a wack freestyle as an excuse to hit them in the balls right at the start of his 3rd round then threatens violence out of the ring while his partner is rapping.

[@MrZombeezie]

You're trippin if you thought he was serious.

[@xyoung_chuckie7083]

Fahk Ewe he was actually pissed off

[@MrZombeezie]

Oh yeah because you personally know him? I know Nick/Lush and kicked it with all these fools so I think I know wtf I'm talking about. Quit making assumptions based off of nothing.

[@yonnj]

***** lol watch the dirtbag dan show caustic clears it up. it was meant as a joke

[@yonnj]

***** ive never seen most of those in friendly battlers or not lol.

[@Exile559]

It's 7 years later and that Dan Dan Dan flip is still amazing.. but shuffles impression of caustic was damn near perfect.

[@CptLz24]

Quit the bully act Caustic, it don't work when you sound like a sesame street character

[@XplicitStory]

'you still getting on your skateboard dan? still trying to shred it?' was probably most bodybag line cause it hit home and the mockery of it made it amazing

[@Calzone1997]

"You follow soccer ?" "No?" "You should of brought your World Cup". How shit was that bar like seriously.

[@goldenlandboxing5122]

+CalNuFc 97 wasteman lyrics lol

[@moodini99]

Wasteman? lol. Calm down; this isn't Kidulthood

[@Niggleblade1986]

moodini99 ahhahh what? Waste man was around before that film 🙈

[@moodini99]

Wasteman? Literally the gayest expression. It may have been around before Kidulthood, but Kidulthood made it sould lame as fuck. Yeah, blood, dred, fam, cuz, lol. About as gangsta as Anton Murphy or N-dubz (not very). ;p

[@timb9363]

moodini99 "literally the gayest expression" hahaha that's bang on

[@karnapriya4568]

llook at 20:12 and at the expressions shufflo have in this battle. Most hollywood actors cant even perform like that. Mad props

[@gimmeatowel]

dream,work, boy fishing from the moon. i just said a bunch of the words i just said in that sentence i just said? genius

[@FreeTheColonized]

It's Dan and Dan/ and even the and in "Dan AND Dan" is an anagram of Dan/ so really it's Dan and an anagram of Dan and Dan/ a.k.a Dan and Dan and Dan You're welcome

[@JxyYT]

No its not , the last line is just Dan Dan Dan

[@MonthlyDuB]

it was supposed to be a joke ahah

[@ferghanson2423]

Now that's a fuckin bar! Musta rewound that at least 5 times

[@juantufrefor8431]

Jay Evans It's actually "Dan And Dan" with the and said so quickly that it's supposed to sound like Dan Dan Dan

[@modestmouse7]

No need to thank you, it's in the video. I didn't need a dickhead to type it out in the comments to fish for likes.

[@johno0012]

Dan Dan Anagram with those cuts yes!

That was dope af

[@skoda88]

Serious

[@kevinadam8319]

Bad bars 2, Shuffle T disagrees.

[@xyoung_chuckie7083]

you can actually see shuffle look around like 'wtf, why aren't they laughing? Why are they clapping? that was a fucking joke!'

Real talk man this battle was just fun. It wasn't supposed to be gritty and raw. I really enjoyed it. Great match up.

[@NoelTeruGibson]

Agreed

[@joseph73315]

Vincent Scatigna yea

[@justthatgirl-ct4jo]

That's why it threw everyone when dude went in on Caustic's kid. It was fun and suddenly it wasn't.

[@gregorn32]

that dreamwork, boy fishing from the moom line was fire

[@J2daP2010]

Caustic lost himself and Dirtbag Dan this battle when he tried ball punching his opponents (and failed)! Great MMA skills from Shuffle T!!! ;) Marlow & Shuffle T won easy. DFAFD

[@texasvet2729]

People would probably care about your opinion if you didn't add a Don't Flop shout out at the end

[@J2daP2010]

That shouldn't matter, If you physically act out you lose! DFAFD TREATY!

Sha bang man i watched late at night with the missus next 2 me sleeping and i chuckled so hard she was stirring lol. Im not sayin they hot fiyah however they are too funny and hit the nail on the head with their scheme about how over rated they are just proved they dont take thenselves too seriously.

[@shabang3974]

True that, I enjoyed that battle..

[@SaintMiddleton]

If you've never heard of shuffle and marlo I suggest you check them out. Possibly one of the worlds best doubles teams.

Dude. Thank you KOTD. Funny, clever, bars, exactly what we needed.

Crazy entertaining, great work from all involved!!

[@mikegittens4058]

This was hilarious! !! Need more battles like this:)

[@noblearrogante]

Shuffle T & Marlo aka Sharlo aka Muffle T edged every round

[@noblearrogante]

ok, false, DBD & Caustic edged the first

[@xyoung_chuckie7083]

they're called shufflo

[@codecrt321]

Was a fun battle for the most part but what was Caustic trying to prove by trying to hit someone in the nuts. Didn't see him trying that against Aye Verb

[@paddymartingavin]

Bang glad they got there chance about to watch I've been waiting a while for this.

[@kpelfrey13]

That was the best battle I've seen in a long time... Both killed it

[@sehzthecynic6751]

This was a dope battle though , been waiting on this one since the announcement ,Already watched it twice, automatic classic.

[@killerman5209]

This was a good battle and fun as hell to watch...:it was too even, nobody really bodied eachother just a good show with good vibes, these guys are good performers. Shout out to all of em

[@BroderHugos]

Not the best I've seen from Shuffle T & Marlo... But their bars didn't always get the reactions they deserved and would have got in the UK. I also agree with them that it must be hard to take part in an event dominated by American bars with less jokes. Hard to write for a new crowd in the same way it is for people from North America when they go to DF. Both Dan and Caustic showed up and made a good battle out of this.Close to call but I will give it to the Brits, 2-1. Might change if I view it again cause Marlo & Shuffle T are more about entertainment and not equally much about bars.

[@weed4daze420]

Yeah I had a similar first impression, I'm also glad they got some decent reactions, I hate when a crowd holds bias and wont react to anything from the away battler(s) but sometimes you got to know what hits and what doesn't with the specific crowd, especially if you have a foreign accent.

[@BroderHugos]

weed4daze420 Now I've watched it again and it made me more certain of the winners, Shuffle T and Marlo. I found more entertainment in them and better chemestry. Dan and Caustic tried to be funny too and did peform good but imo it wasn't enough to match the Brits.

[@mlmteammaker8407]

BroderHugos I gave it 2 to 1 also. Was a good one but they did edge out Dan and Caustic.

[@robertfan332]

Honestly caustic is o e my favorites but I thought he was a no show on this. Dirt bag was pretty freaking good I thought. And Marlo and shuffle were as always on another level.

[@havenatl]

Fantastic battle! So nice to get a break from all the murder, guns, schemes and word play bullshit. Battles have been so boring lately. It feels like every battle has been the same for the last year and a half. Finally something that's actually entertaining and has original personality. We need more like these. Thanks for the show fellas!!

[@rickysteve9948]

This is what I like to see. These guys are having a blast.

[@callum3vans96]

shuffle t and marlo wasnt close to best but won this easy

[@aaronmcginnis1358]

i really enjoy 2 on 2 battles i like the way two mcs can play off each other i wish kotd would do more maybe even have a team championship as well that would be sick

[@KingStoney]

I still crack up at the "well I showed her a picture of my girlfriend" serious switch up 😂😂😂😂

[@Shroudblur]

Rewatching this again and to this day, caustic ruins this battle, with his pretend macho cowardly antics. No respect for your opponents. No Respect for you.

[@UltimaPowers]

He's like that in every battle he's in, man stinks of fragile masculinity and toxic narcissism.

[@Shmoestavern]

This battle reminds me of why i got into battle rap in the first place

First time seeing these two and man they impressed me. Punked DAN AND DAN

[@DJDannyIntro]

Love all these guys !! not the most entertaining battle, but id watch again, think it was difficult on both sides, wasnt a great card from the start.. had they been battling individually Marlo Vs. Caustic - Shuffle Vs. Dan think it would of worked.. shouts to all the staff , keep the videoscomeing they are looking clean !

[@victorthomas7556]

I don't care what anyone says, this was a good Battle. Big fan of Sharlo, love Caustic and Dan. Overall good!

[@kk89ize]

Its Dan and Dan. And even the and in "dan and dan" is an anagram of dan, so it rseally dan; and an anagram of dan, and dan which makes it dan dan dan.

[@Zcarlat]

+kk89ize was trying to figure this out for so long, thank you

[@crunchg2]

Love it

[@AdamPDM]

I've only just became a KOTD as of recent - where is the best place to get hold of the mixtapes? i'e got some charlie clips but would be looking for more :)

[@OGjimbo]

God damn this audio is shit. What the hell KOTD? Audio and video quality used to be your speciality. The video is still on point but goddamn the audio is shit in like 98% of the battles you guys post. What happened?

[@miyawheeler4725]

I think you need to go get new speakers bro because I am I've got my TV on 12 and it's loud as s***

[@OGjimbo]

Shawn Engelhorn Oh jeeze, I didn't say it was too quiet, I was commenting on the quality of the sound not the loudness of it. My computer audio runs directly through a Yamaha RS-V663 receiver which is running a couple of subs and some studio monitor speakers. I can turn it up loud enough to make everyone in this whole neighborhood's ears bleed if I wanted to but more importantly it sounds clean when processing good quality audio. This video is the opposite of that.

[@NoelTeruGibson]

Agreed

[@KurlyBeats]

Sometimes it's not all about the equipment. Sound behaves differently in different rooms. It's called acoustics.

[@miyawheeler4725]

***** never noticed to busy listening to people rap then try in to figure out what equipment they use cause I only heard one mic flare that mattered

[@PainfulDeath]

Sick battle!

[@Tha3l]

"some kids who grew up acting and switched to do some rapping" - finally I know why their performance is so smooth. every. damn. time.

[@Hoodfelon]

Marlo and Shuffle T vs GunTitles SET IT UP!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@HermesWrites]

It's Dan and Dan... and even the "and" in "Dan and Dan" is an anagram of Dan, so really it's Dan and "an anagram of Dan" and Dan aka DAN DAN DAN!

Funny battle. Marlo and Shuffle had better original angles and content and better delivery. Stood their ground well. Fuck Caustic tryin that shit. Entertaining battle.

Marlo got me laughing like fuck his acting is good he doesnt always have to rhyme to get a laugh shuffle class too loool

What we back in 2022 tho

[@cigma]

Enjoyable battle... it's comedic and entertaining with some creative lines, different kind of highs and lows than we're typically accustomed to, but if you can appreciate humor and thought, this battle is has a place. I understand why some people would be prejudiced saying this isn't battle rap. It's like martial arts though, although their forms are different, the way they move and attack... But in the end, they are both trying to "get at each other," impose their will on reality. I do think battles should rely mainly on rhymes schemes and content, but if you deliver your words and ideas in a way that gives it more power and punch, that's something to strive for too. You have to connect with the crowd. But at the same time, the crowd needs to allow themselves to be open. To me this match was close, very back and forth and overall gave amount of positive vibes... M&St had the biggest impact moments, and also were able to keep their identity in a foreign land, were more witty, but had some letdowns although I think they had more sophisticated material... but when it came to consistency and polish... well the better term might be "seasoning" who looked more at ease, I slightly edged it to D&C, they had surprisingly good interaction, although Caustic's antics wore a little thin at the end.

[@ZenDude94]

Shuff and Marlo killed it

[@melo3916]

i love when Shuffle and Marlo do the anagrams or wordplay bars. i ust wonder if they make sense tho, bcos i cant hear it too well half the time. like that "choke" bit in their battle with Joker Starr and Verb T...someone please help me out with those bars or the ones in this battle

This was hilarious. Great battle.

[@Liquidfighter]

Wow judging by these comments it's safe to say that humour in battlerap has officially died. I suddenly remember why I haven't read a YT comment in over a year. Battlerapping is becoming this garbage mix of forcing pseudo-intellectual "wordplay" and finding every last synonym for spraying the machete. It's disgusting and fans are to blame. Thanks god for DF crowd that still know how to pull the corner of their mouth upward.

[@Liquidfighter]

tl;dr this is a fucking entertaining battle

[@yanekmiller2531]

I think you commented on the wrong video pal

[@robertfan332]

That's ridiculous. Certain acts stand out and there's plenty. Marlo and shuffle alone are arguably the best team of all time.

[@dahliaisaflower]

"I bet Shuffle board/bored" lol loved that..... But Shuff & Marl are always greatness. They win.

[@TheRealLachlan]

does anyone know which ep of the dirtbag dan show they are referencing with the subtitle thing?

[@amanSpawn00]

+ootypooty its Charlie Clips vs Dirtbag Dan KOTD. About 7 mins in, it happens, pay close attention to Dan else you'll miss it.

Very entertaining battle

[@willboyles]

That was awesome

[@SuperMunkeh]

Caustic catchin feelings because they mentioned his son, pretty weak considering the shit he brings up in battles. Clearly touched a few nerves.

[@KEVBLAAZE]

It's the little differences in accents and culture that makes international battles interesting, it's not supposed to be a debate on language inheritance or which country rapped first, just enjoy what's going down here and now, let it grow, somebody is always going to have an opinion block but forget them let them be confused. Shout out to every country that has contributed to the rap battle scene. Just do YOUR ting regardless
