SOUL VS ARKAIC | Don't Flop Rap Battle

[@Hyphen-H]

god arks persona and presence makes me want to put bleech in my eyes

[@SteOHare]

It's nice that Soul does it for people who leave KZbin comments. Tar sunshine.

[@MrOMGcomedy]

Thought that Ark's bars was never going to end. Even after all the added time Soul still took it for me, loved the Shawshank and River Phoenix/Phillip Seymour Hoffman bars.

[@georgebisthebest]

Fission for reaction like nuclear power. fucking hell!

[@relentlesstruth8942]

EDIT : ARKS FIRST ROUND WAS 7 MINUTES LONG!! WTAF!!

[@simplelife88393]

2:18 to 2:45 .. one of the best schemes in DF History

[@amrfts]

if you mention youtube comments or "internet geeks" in your bars you blatantly read every word and take it to heart.

[@mistacoz]

Soul won. Got bored listening to Ark shout for 15 minutes.

[@TheMitcher]

Soul 3-0, brevity is the Soul of wit

[@SkidRowRadio]

nice battle.. but Arc, how you gonna do a bar about 'i do it for the crowd, you do it for YT' then spend most the battle with your face in the camera and your back to the crowd? jus sayin.

[@aahanamalani]

One of Ark's best performances. the bangwagon bar was dope. Respect bro, for everything youve contributed to rap. im a fan. peace, love , stay the course

[@youalreadyknowman]

SOUL, OUR PANNEL WOULD SAY YOU'RE GETTING SONNED... fucking hell

[@crypticraps]

Your 'panel' is wrong lol

[@James_Sutherland]

Soul literally caught a homi here. Ark used to be good but he's too inconsistent and he took the piss here with the time limits.

[@emiliococozza4174]

Yeah and if soul rapped for the same amount of time that ark did he'd have caught an even bigger body.

[@relentlesstruth8942]

Glad someone else mentioned the time! Arks 1st round alone was 7 minutes long! Lol absolute joke

[@CheesySharkLips]

yewwww, Soul's Shawshank Redemption scheme was fucking amazing

[@simplelife88393]

Anyone who thinks Ark got this is fucked lol Soul rapped half as long with twice the quality.. these schemes and angles are the best in DF by far

[@miverick86]

Soul is so intelligent the reason people think he lost is they don't understand him due to his intelligence and ark is generic.

[@TheUncleBungle]

"why'd i think the mug was a real man and he aint Kobyashi" - dope

[@JustAMinute1]

Soul is one of the best out there... but actually gave this to Arkaic! His directness and energy went hand in hand with the content of his bars. The "Punchlines vs Bars // rapping vs battling" ideas, plus he had some nice schemes and structure. Soul did his usual which was excellent, but not enough.

[@afropunk902]

soul is the future

[@jackcowdery7870]

Nah doubt it

[@badgerboy1820]

How apt is this comment now, the boy has been on a killing spree, battling illmac, battling on URL, bodying Tony D etc etc etc

[@samhaidemenos]

Just watched this again, didn't even catch the Watership Down/still could draw crosshairs line before.

[@TheDdotShifty]

Expected soul to tear him to pieces, but ARK was sick, yeah he did longer rounds but it was his last battle of course he wants to make the most of it. If people want to say ARK spat for longer therefore he lost... Doesn't the same go for Ars vs Shotty...

[@michaelgilbert8532]

arkaic really isn't that bad, obv in comparison to the top-tier dudes he's gonna get merked every time but you can't really class him as shitsoul is one of the best, he's just on another fuckin level

[@ElusiveFreeMan]

I'm a big fan of Soul & Ark, so there's no biased opinions, Ark would've took this for me. He went in on Soul's life, dismantled his style and made it very convincing. Sure he rapped for longer but even if you snipped his rounds to the same length, I'm sure you will rack up more hits per minute than Soul's. Great battle, well done to both, and hope to see both of them again.

[@konrTF]

I'm not hatin' on Ark for spitting for a long time as it was pretty sick but when one MC spits for way longer than the other it kinda feels wrong.

[@RossyP110]

This is what a tune into this channel for..Quality battle, ARK IS DOPE

[@shahjrahman]

Tony D vs Soul for the next title match, surely?

[@davidfrancis4493]

Souls 3 min round vs Arks 3 min round... Soul wins everytime.

[@OsofoGriot]

So, I guess time limits don't apply here then…?

[@MonstrousChamp]

Why so much hate for Ark. Hes easily top 3 in the league. Did take the piss with time limits on this one. But even if he didnt, its close, could be called 2-1 either way. But I edge it just to Soul. I think Ark is too good to quit... Bamalam had his '"last battle" not too long ago, and came back. Ark will get bored and come back soon enough or when somebody worthy comes up? Tony D rematch maybe or Psychosis Holochaust's return?

[@SENZBIRMZ]

You can't even speculate when someone goes that long, it was basically arks 6 rounds vs souls 3. With that much extra time if you don't demolish, you've lost.

[@MezmerizedCA]

because he's a mark.

[@jimmyhayers]

Cruger, Soul, Psychosis, Eurgh, Tony D, Ogmios all definitely better for me. He's good when he's on his a game but not top 3.

[@MonstrousChamp]

jimmyhayers Half the people you mentioned are not currently battling. This aint me trolling but if were gonna pull people outta retirement Soul Khan will murk all of the above. Plus Eurgh has had one decent solo battle, was ok against Illmac. But, Loe pesci kanye west line hit the nail on the head for me.

[@jimmyhayers]

MonstrousChamp Yeah Soul Khan is awesome. Just felt it was relevant to mention some of those other battlers given that they are Ark's contemporaries. Eurgh was good against Kid Twist, PH and DNA as well. Soul Khan vs Cruger would have been a great battle, both come up with great angles and for me Cruger is a far better rapper and lyricist than Sensa who Khan battled on DF.Think on his day Crugs could have beaten most, he can take the piss out of rappers in a schoolboy way yet it doesn't seem silly cos he adds enough wit to it. Proper boyed Conceited who, to be fair, wasn't at his very best but I don't think it would have mattered. Think it's a shame Kid Twist hasn't battled for a while he was ace haha.

[@GregorDWScott]

So basically Arkaic said he wasn't rapping for those watching on KZbin, and then proceeded to insult the crowds intelligence by comparing their understanding to that of an 11 year old? Wow, great tactic sir!

[@tomdoran6006]

i reckon if both did 3 minute rounds Soul would've won but Ark had way more content and way more punchlines etc so he got this

[@rikiburnside2706]

Using the 'It's My Last Battle' Line to secure an advantage - Understandable. Low But Understandable.

[@rikiburnside2706]

Soul 2-1 Anyway.. No Doubts

[@jayantonio4487]

zen vs arkaic battle of the two noses set it up

[@crypticraps]

Soul's got quantity and quality. It's so insane.

[@jakerowsell8752]

Every single video there's a bunch of people crying that the mc's are shit, or don't flop has fallen off. Have you considered you might just not like battle rap?

[@LMAAAAYOOO]

Its getting over-saturated

[@cnirvana1]

LMAAAAYOOO i dunno man think it depends how you look at it, ive been watchin dont flop since the early blood in the waters, i still like i, i mean i get what you're saying but i think it's the same with anything the longer you like something and you see other people liking it and joining in with it it kinda loses it's personal originality to you, like i'll never be as amazed as i was the first time i heard some hard hitting bars from the likes of Lee Scott and Shotty's first battle, even Unan vs Joker Starr, we're always looking for that step-up and it doesn't always happen the way we want it to

[@rl-cr6ve]

Revisiting this, never realised how bad soul done ark

[@crmpts]

the tall blonde guy in the crowd doing a trigger finger off every 4 bar is giving me jokes..

[@marcusfoster9062]

soul would body anyone in the league on his game

[@christopherkeenan9831]

Andy Dufresne line is sick

[@OfficialDeeTvee]

Soul bodied Arkaic differently 🤣 ⚰️

[@reecewiegand6851]

Soul killed it like always and ark is so boring

[@djpompey]

Ark's 3rd changed how I think about writing.

[@WEEFATBOAB]

Ark raps for half an hour each round and tells soul to get to the point in his bars.

[@danielstackhouse7231]

he does say this will be the final times hes introducing a battle on stage AND arc as a battler..

[@Fonzzzzz]

The replay value in this battle is ridiculous. Ark killed it

[@jaredrubin1300]

Make apocalypse now look like water ship down

[@ElusiveFreeMan]

Haha, fire barz!

[@kooleri30]

Can anyone explain the Andy dufren bar. I've seen the Shawshank but a while ago.

[@davidfrancis4493]

its the poster that covers the route he was chipping away at

[@fatgreenman]

How many people helped Ark write his bars?

[@crypticraps]

13 that I know of

[@bloodstaindtn]

Soul had the first BARELY but Arkaic zipped him up easy the rest. Hope it ain't his last battle.

[@goody657]

Rate soul can't stand arc thank fuck he's joggin on

[@x8n42xb67n]

at 6:55 is that mikall parknsun singing (sign language) the battle to someone? top guy!

[@haydnneville]

That shawshank bar was sick!!!

[@101richardw]

soul never gets the credit he deserves

[@McBawse]

"Less is more, more times I say more than you even though the letter count is less than yours" Has 4 times the letter count.

[@crypticraps]

We need more audience members like the one that's reacting hard. He reacts and knows when to stop. It makes the energy so much better

[@RavenousFists]

That Andy Dufresne line made me go WOW like 5 seconds later

[@djemtek]

complete different type of rappers both came with it and broke each other down well. you should stick to having more battles like this on your main channel which u said u would i recall. i got a feeling we'll see ark again they all say its their last battle just to get some attention. i have to admit i stopped watching towards arks last round he just went on to much. but overall worth watching

[@joshwaters841]

Soul wins just for the Shawshank bar

[@Adrian-Abu]

why is josh peck battle rapping

[@rryptsn2775]

Great battle. I think thats the best Ark I've seen. Didn't seem fair he got 6 minute rounds though. Could have gone 2-1 either way, both killed it!

[@WantTeaBag]

So Arc slyly parred us who are commenting. if Df dont get views it really wouldnt last long b

[@NoelTeruGibson]

Through the first round and I give it to soul - Ark is spazzing but not saying much for all the time he rhymed

[@isetmysoulonfire]

Soul took this 2-1 Ark is so basic, fucks me off.

[@bigmike3761]

Eurgh does say 'it's the final time I'll be introducing an mc on camera and the final time I'll be introducing this mc on camera aswell' does he mean he's not hosting??

[@denimjosh]

I reckon because it was his last battle, Ark just spat every bar he ever wrote but never got to use so they wouldn't go to waste.

[@ZenDude94]

Ark took the PISS with the length of his rounds

[@tommyc1970]

Ark biting Rhyme Asylum?

[@TheFFxHD]

Soul 3-0 body bag IMO

[@crypticraps]

Soul should be undefeated

[@Swizzle-xs5kd]

Ark cleaned up every round with his soul.

[@ImaginaryAsh]

Great performance from Arkaic

[@judewright5330]

i apologise for sounding ignorant but why is eurgh never introducing anyone again is he retiring from hosting the events or retiring completely

[@TheJogeyBear]

Soul 2-1, Ark got the third but he went on for like 2-3 minutes longer... Good battle!

[@CocoTayo]

Soul got this 2-1. Ark had more bars but less punches. Went on too long in my opinion.

[@TheSmithy26]

Ark destroyed his last battle, 7 years strong and still eradicating

[@Slantdude]

Arkaic won but the unbalanced timed rounds had a major impact, not a bodybag though, Soul responded well to each round

[@danielstackhouse7231]

wow arcs first round was 6 and half minutes long lol

[@adrunkvagabond]

Only because of the longer rounds spat i give this to ark however i think if both emcees spat for the same amount of time it would have been far more debatable

[@lol2008xD]

Ark went 3x longer than Soul and still lost

[@blueshiftuk]

ark would beat many in Dont Flop but Soul is lightyears ahead

[@gregoryedwards3467]

super big fan of Soul... but Ark schooled him in this.

[@hughesyplays]

My point exactly.

[@samhaidemenos]

Ark was the best I've seen him but I thought Soul 2-1 at the very least. Soul needs a title shot.

[@jeremy790]

"Just because your name is Ark doesent mean you can't have two of everything" BARZ!

[@hughesyplays]

This is the blueprint of how to clown soul. Dont bar with him,style on him. Ark murdered him 3 0 in all honesty.took apart his youth and jus out punched him.every line he spit from round 2 was a hayemaker. Round 1 though "you have the demeanour of a guy with a masters degree but the social skills of guy who cant even read"

[@-AT-WALKER]

Arkaic... talking directly to the camera but isn't doing it for KZbin?!

[@ryandavis8987]

Soul is toooopo much man he's to good best in df apart from shotty

[@gylestill8706]

Ark is lamb

[@shaqdiaz1261]

Soul got this clearly

[@kallehomewood7316]

Haven't even finished Arkaic's second round and already decided... Soul 3-0 body.

[@sammathie2564]

"You better hope this battle isn't judged, because Soul our panel would just say you're getting sonned" gheeeeeeeeez

[@contee12345]

Soul in title contention surely!

[@newandIreview]

Ark brought it.

[@Baioue]

fair play to soul for backing arc letting him do longer rounds

[@fallingt]

Soul got this

[@UpdoggWhattt]

Soul has some dope bars and concepts, and some great references too, but his flow is far too simplistic to rock with the top cats in the US. Hopefully he can figure out to flow more complex, because he could be a beast if he could take it to the next level.

[@lc6237]

Ark caught a body imo

[@TheDarkerAges]

Sick battle but ark kinda dissed himself for two rounds

[@arsenalmanic]

There is big discrepancy in time allocation. Soul prepared 90 seconds/2 min rounds, or whatever it is, where as Arkaic is doing 5min + rounds.

[@mookeyskin]

Wow awsome battle, Too many sick bars,arc rapped for way too long though, Soul just shipwrecked arc into timber and driftwood, PS micky worthless is the crappest rap battler don't flop has ever had easy

[@jondetat1328]

"i get money from the arc/ark like pistol pete in boston".
