TONY D VS RESPEK BA | Don't Flop Rap Battle

[@DJCrisisUK]

Finally, this is the don't flop I remember ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

[@deeel8458]

FACTS

[@MrGamma789]

DJ Crisis UK This is first battle I've watched in a looong time bro and I used to watch this shit like a job

[@DJCrisisUK]

Canibus 3-0 same here cuzzy, they been going downhill for a while but this battle was pure 🔥 crowd was on point and even Eurgh seemed hype and excited.

[@louis9979]

proper battle 2 real old skool rappers

[@stereotoned]

RIP

[@PowercutProductions]

ok Eurgh, now we need that Respek BA V Soul battle in Glasgow, Scotland's bossing Don't Flop right now

[@aaronlockyer9715]

Scotland are really not bossing it, Gemini would murder Soul in my opinion.

[@ragged218]

''murder'' - get out

[@livvi67]

Aaron Lockyer murder hahaha

[@fractal_mind562]

BA is pretty sick! If he can edit out the trash joking he'd be hard ! Tony won this 2-1 1st and 2nd pretty comfortably, last round from BA was rock solid though ! Soul would absolutely demolish him but Gemini would need London crowd to win it... Good battle though don't really see how anyone has BA winning this battle though? Can anyone explain which rounds and why ? I can't see him winning 1 and 2 in anyone's mind ???

[@livvi67]

Disagree bro. I rate Tony highly - always have, always will. But Respek came that little bit harder. His second round in particular was sensational. Harder, more memorable punchlines delivered with conviction. Speaking as someone who was in the room, the general consensus is that Respek won 2-1.

[@officialhulktube7854]

G dash in the crowd instantly gives it an old school feel

[@joshuac3576]

Coming back to this battle 2023. One of my favourite battles. Both artists went HARD!

[@jawndoep1027]

this crowd needs to be at every event! LIVE as fuck...

[@rix121]

I've been watching battle rap since Jumpoff days, honestly its fallen off so hard in recent years when people are spitting generic bars that can apply to anyone. Respek BA has brought back the old school where battlers actually battle their opponent. What an unbelievable performance! Thanks to both MC's for an amazing battle, but Respek BA has arrived in 2017!!!!!! BA vs Soul is already in the making

[@blazekid2407]

Need to see Soul vs Repek BA, the puches in that would be crazy

[@kmt3466]

"All those years of smoking weed have made you canibus yourself" ffs

[@mozEXE]

Respek kilt it

[@Badoopboop]

mozEXE vote for him then.

[@snakyjones1216]

Bars jp

[@J-CG]

This is the Don't Flop i remember. Both dudes brought it, 2 different styles, heavy punchlines, debatable rounds, hyped crowd! Could easily rewatch this again numerous times. Respect to Tony and BA for this 🔥

[@lilbro1984]

Thank you once again don't flop. Both of them Killed this shit, fuck what the comments say.

[@hats2012]

Not seen Tony disrespected like that in a long, long time. I hope BA's back permanently

[@Jordan_snw]

I don't think people understand this is two different styles at play... Respek Ba has very basic rhymes that hit the crowd because of how disrespectful they are (this is not a dis, his bars are fire) where as tony doesn't try to appeal to that. He has lengthy imaginative bars that reach to a crowd and if you get them you get them and you think shitttt that's mad but if you don't you don't. Tony isn't trying to be something he's not by copying a style many adopt. Anyway this is a great showcase of two different styles and its not judged for a reason because some will appreciate one style and others another so if your saying either battler in this battle is wack your just naïve and can't appreciate what both are doing. SMH at these comments.

[@ghostoftheyoutubefuture2630]

Sorry but how the fuck are BA's rhymes basic?? Tony's rhymes are good for a track but not in a battle against a true battler. He spend too much time trying to look clever rather than immediately going for the kill.......might appeal to you obsessive battle nerds but us normal people get bored listening. Guys like BA bring the competitive feel back to battle rap lad.

[@kevincloar2443]

itwoztyped they're both wack

[@Pixelkurt]

Could not of said it better well done

[@ghostoftheyoutubefuture2630]

Agreed. He got that sensationalist style.......basically if you believe his hype you'll think he's amazing.......but an MC like BA doesn't need no illusions, the bars are actually fire!

[@therapydj]

Im tryin but i dont get Tony's barz and i love word play 🤦🏾‍♂️. I shall persevere on

[@theonlyartist1992]

@11:35 "bruv don't scream in my ear". man got told.

[@baysmenchild7051]

💀

[@benhaniffa4592]

Well clocked . Slap Eurgh if he said that to me though 🤣🤣

[@GeoOneloveHipHop]

haven't commented on a battle in years but needed to give this one props!!!!

[@livvi67]

Commenters here tryna belittle Respek BA for having 'simpler punchlines'. Just because he has a blunter style than Tony, doesn't make him any less impressive. His writing was clean as a whistle in this battle - solid punchlines and they were delivered with absolute conviction. Tony's the man - I think he wins most battles, but Respek got him 2-1 here, let's be real.

[@stretchweider]

Thats what I mis about battle rap from the Jump Off street battles and early DF stuff, simple, effective,funny punchlines and bars - seems like there's too much emphasis now on overly complex "deep" bars

[@tobyvergo6928]

gggg

[@Aspect8_5_2]

Yes yes YES... every single line is a killer punch

[@andrewdrummond2747]

Respek ba= Scotty Horror

[@sapien82]

naw mate , just fuckin naw !

[@GrimeTime2Shine]

Scotty Horroh LOOOOL

[@DJCrisisUK]

Andy Drum at your stupidity? Not really no

[@snakyjones1216]

Respeck vs shotty horroh

[@harrywhothehell2491]

Shout out SAUCYJIZZ!

[@johnjames2397]

It's unlikely at this stage that anyone will read this, but just know, it was funny at 10:15 when the fans started chanting a mixture of 3-O and BA and ended up chanting B.O B.O

[@paulgibson7162]

Haha, B-0, B-0, B-0......3 nil clean sweep. Literally futile against BA. Exemplifies scotland - direct clever and funny.

[@johnjames2397]

My fucking guy @@paulgibson7162 thank you for commenting on this video, i wrote this while drunk 3 weeks ago and it just made me laugh again cheers

[@SkengStiegenhaus]

We made it to 2024 bro and yes 🤝

[@n3rds3y3vi3w]

"So I'm about to smash your head in/ it's the end of days, armageddon/ I'll grab a chef's slash your wig and add it to my scalp collection/ then put the blade in you so deep I even push in the handle section/ and as you gasp for breath I'll thank you for helping me stash my weapon" 🔥🔥 Love that shit

[@dukesofalldoa451]

Respek Ba is the perfect example of a traditional effective battle rapper who hasn't been to influenced by the scene so he's more organic he's like old Tenchoo he's smart and rips his opponent apart in a simple but funny/brutal way, Tony D is mad nice as always but he's styles like capoeira all this extra shit just for a punch Ba on the other hand just knee's he's opponent in the head over and over again!

[@thewhistlehasbeenblown]

Been a fan of Tony for years and never heard of Respek BA... that being said, first impressions count for a lot and Respek BA just demolished Tony 3 - 0 I'm very very impressed

[@bluntedalien5589]

Dope battle. All the top bloggers should review this battle a long with the Tony D vs Shox The Rebel & Soul vs Real Deal battles.

[@colossalintellect]

Respek 2-1. Tony came hard all three rounds but not the absolute best I've seen from him. Also he ironically spat 3 rounds and lost. Nice to watch an enjoyable battle though!!

[@tytyrichards5364]

fucking hell I think Scotland deserve another event after them reactions. Genuinely buzzing, sick atmosphere. 👊

[@charliesnaith6046]

EURGH won when he bodied the guy yelling in his ear

[@imnotwatchin]

boy shushed for the rest o the night xD

[@jojavjo]

Lmao

[@MrAlbertconstantin]

OLD DON'T FLOP IS BACK, haven't seen such a good battle for a while. BA was on Fire and TONY is still a champ. It was def a one sided crowd, but Tony only really had one angle. good Battle though should have more event up in Scotland

[@towelie8608]

eurgh secretly wants the crowd cheering his name😂😂

[@aaronblack8783]

Fucking brilliant battle. This is my first time seeing Respek BA, can't wait to see him in more shit.

[@marcusmishima]

Respek 2-1 Great battle!

[@lilbro1984]

Hometown advantage aside, B.A won i.m.o. With that said, anyone saying Tony D is wack marked themselves out as fan boys. Two immesely different styles, two amazing performances.

[@RhizomaticAssemblage]

great battle, this Scotland event was fire apparently

[@DevinNicholson]

The Christmas light is one of the best lines I've ever heard, and Respek BA is the biggest throwback to when I first watched DF when it started, simple punches but so beautifully put together it connects without the need for 4 bar set ups. Tony D did his thing and was absolute gentleman throughout laughing with the Scottish fans! Both different generations but both sick

[@thesubrosasessions1760]

COZ YU DONT HAF THE FOCUS TAH BE MAHSTERIN YRSELF -the Don't Flop youtube homepage for the past month and a half

[@johnnygunz4455]

Both did their thing; close battle. Respek had a couple dope lines in between the jokes. Props to him. I got Tony winnin. Well written wit the swag. Dope lines. Catch that body in the buildin my guy

[@reggiebush5947]

best crowd ive heard at a df event

[@flawkolopez6565]

All those years smoking weed made you Canibus yourself. 🔥🔥🔥 Close battle though. I think Tony edged the first 2 but shit was preference. Tony's breakdown of BA was surgically precise but BA had some amazing shit too. Dope ass battle.

[@pEr5on4LLy]

I got Tony D taking this battle. Minus all the hometown gas...Respek didn't do enough to win. His rebuttals are fire though.

[@brettb7000]

Never heard of Respek BA before this but I gotta admit I'm now a fan. Less jokes, more bars & he'll be DEADLY

[@brettb7000]

I've seen bits and pieces of the WRC's, mainly the most talked about battles but didnt realise BA was competing in them. Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out

[@Undergroundhh]

Dope battle, good to see BA is back! Hopefully for a while!

[@HHKMusic]

Best battle I've seen in ages. Nice one.

[@bigfraz23]

first full DF battle ive enjoyed in over 2 yrs

[@zainazrai]

RESPEK BA BEAT TONY D WORST THAN HE BEAT ME!

[@Compl33tR4nd0mZ]

Zain Azrai u legend

[@corbinbonee8411]

takes humbleness too say that... good shit

[@zainazrai]

yada yada now watch my latest battle vs bear solutions

[@corbinbonee8411]

o ive seen them all trust me.... shonda rhymz battle is my personal favorite

[@corbinbonee8411]

BA is just a legend prolly bodies most people you put him in front of

[@sqweela5108]

this is the standard of battles dont flop shpuld be looking to deliver. Perfect time for Tony to battle BA in my opinion.

[@KingBronx]

Tony D CLEARLY WON! Listen to the content. Every second is bare gas , B.A. I like BA, but too much gas

[@SERI0USB33F]

Tony starts a fire and breaks BA down perfectly, BA shoots back, both barrels loaded with dragonbreath rounds.. honestly, they both scrapped it out verbally .. I know this was recorded a year ago but still, that was sick af

[@nahur]

Tony D did alright but didn't give his opponent due respect & prepare properly. Thought he was gonna win off his name & hype, got 30'd for it.

[@Darkiie]

LOOOOL a man screamed "HE NEEDS MILK"😂 5:21

[@powderedwaterpudding]

Wow. BA. That's so impressive for him to come back and absolutely serve one of the top cats in the league. And BA 3-0'd him. Anyone who thinks otherwise is watching a different battle.

[@randumbguyisaac]

Why does this not have quadruple the views Respek BA is the truth 💯

[@A7ibAllah]

Ain't watching a battle in years, but seeing Respek BA's name, I couldn't resist, wasn't disappointed, he's been a beast from day 1.

[@trilloskismokeybongs8242]

Danny Jaqq doing his best Eurgh impression, smh cringe

[@cosyneproject]

Tony D is well and truly top of the top tier, and i have a lot of time for him. Respek BA, who I haven't seen for years, was simply better. Top battle and great crowd also. Would love to see an on-beat battle with these two.

[@urban69ljf]

Tony D vs Zombie SHOTTY HORROH

[@TheJSPMedia]

Like a trip down memory lane :)

[@n3rds3y3vi3w]

Wow this was a straight murder! BA is back god damn!

[@mikeypadventures]

Good battle. BA had some decent bits and good presence. But Tony's writing was a step up, so Tone for the win.

[@MrKinki1]

Finally a battle without two annoying girls in the front ruining everything

[@mzamethodman7134]

First battle i ever watched, naturally as someome who has always appreciated well crafted bars and a MAJOR fan of Rhyme Asylum i immediately became a massive fan of both Tony and BA

[@kennygoodyear5328]

Best battle I've seen on Dont Flop in months. The venue seemed perfect.

[@UnstoppableTramp]

15.56 the Way Tony is nodding at him like, yeah that was pretty good

[@evolutionaryapostle5488]

I am from New York and I wish I was at the event. Looks like mad fun to be able to chill with battle rap fans in Glasgow.

[@TheWoodTink]

Edinburgh.

[@uraharamitchell7250]

This was a battle that shook the Heavens Both of these men are Smiths of their crafts

[@LoveJaeger]

Respek BAA is a serious fucking problem if he keeps that form up.

[@fractal_mind562]

lol

[@sashahines6676]

thank you for stashing my weapon crazy bar wooooow

[@toddlamc]

BA's a farking don, old school as

[@mikey_fixed]

Such different styles, good battle

[@JackTheTool]

Man i miss battlers like BA gives me that old battle rap feeling if you know what i mean

[@cassdy91]

Scotland in Don't Flop is like Detroit in URL! 😂

[@boabfawcett]

was sick tho

[@landlocked_lifts332]

Ain’t nobody gonna get killed, Eurgh

[@michaelwilson8212]

Still one of my favourite battles, Tony always good but respek ba serious packing a powerful lyrical punch🤣💥💨💯🤜

[@DJDannyIntro]

Not been a matchup likes these since OldeEnglish &Unan were still about - play back ability - started well this year DF

[@Staxxual]

I actually love watching tony battle. His battle swag..This shit comes so easy to him hes actually having fun doing it.

[@franciskent8821]

Finally a good battle, need to get Respek BA on another card as soon as possible!

[@dnbgeeza]

Best battle uploaded in a while

[@plymouthleebo]

Wherever this was held in Edinburgh was a quality choice, had the old outdoor feel to it

[@ezmun_ra]

they should more battles in Scotland

[@jimthegrin]

Tony D raps like a 70's beat poet ✊🏻

[@mattf6950]

Get to know the real levels in battle rap. Respek been killing it from day and not much has changed. #DFAFD

[@imnotwatchin]

You know you got a good bar in when you get physically manhandled by the people around you

[@baysmenchild7051]

"...Nouw yuu gou Touny"

[@louisthompson7939]

BA won nothing else to say if you disagree that's fine but you are wrong.

[@kamehaprime560]

RESPEK is funny Ghangsta haha... Tony Toptier as always lol RESPEK vs Pedro would be funny

[@stm24618]

Did I just witness Tony D getting owned? That's like the best thing I have seen from here in a while. 🙂

[@SamM.23]

Not even Tony's biggest fan but I'd give him the win there. BA took the first but Tony edged the 2nd and 3rd because BA didnt bring much in the way of new angles, just more small jokes, paedo jokes, choke jokes, etc.

[@sdsumiguel5937]

I always wondered what happened to Respek BA. Now I'm ready for a Kulez comeback battle!

[@karltimmis4523]

SBPS no

[@mattpoulton672]

Tony D best U.K. Battler hands down

[@theS777]

3-0 Respek BA

[@tonytouch145]

yo respek ba still fucking get got it. he's even better than he used to be surprisingly

[@3Horus]

Jheeeze, this crowd was wild

[@5iveotoh]

"leave him alone!!!" best heckle ever >

[@PositiveEnergyPodcast]

Of the head I be nice and spin the mic!! 'so people actually remember the shit I haven't written better than you remember the shit you write' 😂😂😂

[@craigbirch8438]

[@sonnydortmund1513]

[@BruceWayne-bt4cn]

Few more battles then BA vs Soul will be dope

[@joecowan7849]

G dash really needs to update his wardrobe same hat and jacket he had from a year ago

[@Staxxual]

Tony 2-1 with ba taking the third..

[@Staxxual]

Tony came correct as always. Punches and schemes for days..

[@LOKDOWNKING]

BA vs SHOTTY!!!!

[@92agayle]

Coming back to this battle in 2023. Even as a Londoner, BA actually won this loool he cookedddd

[@thenightowl3042]

For anyone who think Tony D is whack you either too dumb to understand the hard bars and references which in that case obviously means battle rap is not for you as Lunar C said before "If you don't understand a double meaning then you probably shouldn't be watching battle rap".Watch his effortless body Vs Chilla Jones then come back

[@btlgben]

He wasnt his best vs Chilla, watch vs Unan to see his peak

[@thenightowl3042]

agreed,just watched that again but yeh there is so many slept on classic battles Tone has killed

[@kevincloar2443]

RAW PM these guys both suck

[@louisthompson7939]

RAW PM should've brought it more lad. Tony D is one of the best but don't get it twisted Respek just bodied him simple as that

[@Aspect8_5_2]

Yehhh. Nah. He is good. But respek ba actually killed him in this battle... everyone just watch Tony d aswell... he knows hes getting killed... sorry But respek ba is seriously smashing the shit outta him in this... I get Tony d style. I get what he says. But it's no way as consistent as respek ba.. NO WAY
