Dunder Mifflin Paper bars is something you gotta deal wit. No matter how many of them fabricated pen lines, it aint gonna equal up to Dwight’s heel kick.
@@Sonataman974 Yeah the choke, stumble, whatever you want to call it took all momentum out of Flex's round and A Ward capitalized on it with a solid rebuttal. It was the clearest round of the battle for sure
I have to give this one to Madflex. He bodied in all three rounds and Award came hard in the first two and even freestyled some lines which was dope but he lost in the third. He clowned, then got personal which was smooth but then he transitioned again and it was like “wait, what?” then he tried to get aggressive one last time and by then it was almost cringe. I think he knew he was smoked so he played around too much and went for broke like when Canibus realized he wasn’t going to beat Dizaster and started reading writtens to the crowd. Still though, Award is a dope ass battle rapper and anyone who says different is full of it.
good analysis, I don't remember all those details but I gotta agree with the broad stroke...I do think Award was desparate at the end - that age angle was mad weak and dragged out and even played into madflex's portrayal of him as a spoiled childish newcomer...didn't help that he was dancing around on stage multiple times either...
People have been comparing flex to pass for years but he's a whole different level. I hope this is his year. Classic performances for years but way underappreciated
I fuck with A Ward heavy but after Flex’s third, I just can’t seem to appreciate anything Ward does anymore. I’m not saying he ended Wards career he just put him back a few years. Sent him back to the minors. Nothing but proving ground battles for Ward ever since.
Can not BELIEVE this only has 100k views after all this time. Flex 2-1 or gentleman’s 30 but he did have that lil slip up Stellar battle and aged like wine
Criminally slept on, yet refuses to switch up his style and go with that same ol’ setup/punch, rinse/repeat formula that everyone gets famous on. Cats like Flex, Ness Lee, Swave, etc are so incredible and they just do their thing no matter what. Originality and creativity are slowly fading in this game. Sad.
First round Flex. A Ward had way too many run it backs, however his The Office scheme was the best set up and haymaker scheme of the battle. A Ward took the second with the forced multi scheme. Had the junk drawer line been seamless I might've edged the round to Flex. I'm deducting points for Ward stepping on the Js in the third. That is some serious fucboi shit. It was a classic battle leading up to that moment with the first two rounds being pretty clear so it comes down to the third. I really didn't really like Flex referencing his chokes in the third. It's more than two by the way, he choked against Psychosis as well. I feel like that cancelled out the deduction I gave Ward. A Ward did have a very small stumble in the third, and the age scheme was kinda corny, though the Just for Men/Touch of Gray line was dope. He had the on the spot rebuttal for the toe tag which was amazing...as well as a solid rebuttal against the choke line from Flex. Flex had some bigger moments in the third, however and the "God said get up you don't have time for this" line was crazy. Struggle bars have become somewhat of a tired trope these days but Flex made it work and it was believable. Very tough battle to judge but I will edge it to Flex by the slimmest of margins with the first and a very close 3rd based on the unique haymakers and really drawing the crowd into his story in that 3rd. Fire 🔥 battle though and very much a classic with tons of replayability. Props to both Ward and Flex for putting in the work to deliver this performance.
a ward's office scheme was reachy as hell and the 2nd rd rebuttals weren't good either imo, i thought it was pretty clear that flex outpunched award 3-0 unless you give ward the second for madflex's junk drawer stumble (i didnt)
props to docking points on the Js, I thought that was hella wack too...however the toe tag rebuttal line off the dome was crazy too. I thought Flex dragged out the junk drawer line a lot but the setup was awesome and calling out that line was a nice angle ... I didn't think a ward had any really good angles this battle or consistent rounds so I definitely gave the edge to Flex in the second and A wards repetition bars in the first pissed me off too so I really gave it to Flex 3-0, but I personally thought there wasn't a lot of punches in this battle...a lot of tight rapping from flex and a lot of showboating from A ward...ain't nothing wrong with some style but you gotta have substance and I think ward's been getting shallower ...
Shoutouts to A Ward for fighting through crowd bias like a champ, Madflex is an alien as always. Crazy matchup really, Madflex got the coolest delivery, and A Ward got the best damn projection in battlerap.
i dont even consider what everyone called a choke, a choke. Flex had already got the bar out, then in the middle of the crowd reaction he ran it back & 4got that he already spit that shit....so its technically not a choke
A choke is _forgetting ur material._ which he obviously didn't. And I ain't making excuses for anyone. It's just amusing AF to see all u hatin' ass niggas do what u do best! Besides, y'all niggas shud kno that battles aren't judged on technicalities any more, or on anything for that matter. The fans pick their favorite every time! Aka _"biased decision"_ If u get ur shit out in a smooth enuf manner, regardless of any minor slip ups, u can still 30 a nigga. IMO... A hard hittin round with a minor choke or stumble will *Always* Trump a wak ass round with zero mistakes! Otherwise ur saying that some no name nigga from the PGs can spit a clean 1½ min & beat Diz after he had to run the same bar back cuz he stumbled.
Jesus walked on water/A Ward hopping on peoples waves/......But I gotta call out my own/it’s fuck A Ward I’m really trying to talk to the bitch inside you........🔥🔥🔥 Great Battle. I got A Ward 2-1 but Flex gained a supporter.
I’ve honestly never took time out to watch either of these battlers I just thought I wouldn’t like either but I can say I wasn’t disappointed they gained a new fan both
Agreed. If not for the slip up, it’s a gentleman’s for Flex! Damn, I need to quit replying to these cuz I feel like I’ve said that a bunch in these comments already. Respect
This battle had a lil bit of everything like a junk drawer. Real t. Freestyles, multis, bars, struggle bars in flex 3rd, rebuttals, jokes, and performance.
Madflex was a better rapper all three rounds (even with the stumble, which was well-covered; Award also repeated multiple bars so I hardly counted it). A Ward knew his strength was in showmanship but he went overboard (mad beef with the steppin on toes shit - childish and disrespectful and he just looked dumb dancing around); and relied on it too much. He used to have hella nice schemes and run that backs, but he hasn't been as clever or funny for a number of months - although he stays solid with sports references. He usually has heavier hits in general, but I didn't feel like he came with much tonight. He had a couple of misses. Flex didn't have a lot of hard punches but he was just way more consistent and had mature angles. I give all three rounds to Flex but only his third was high-scoring. A good rewatch to catch a lot of Madflex's internal rhymes and references, but honestly not a lot of replay value for me...just wasn't that fun or funny to watch.
@@707ridah he dragged it on a bit but honestly it was fire that he used his own line against him...the set up was clean, the content was nice, the punchline hit. Imma give it to him.
Personally, I think that intro was on point... Flex EASILY had better bars, BUT A. Ward has better stage presence and delivery. Having said that, I think Ward had the “harder” punches, but he was very basic... and he uses his presence to compensate for what amounts to kind of regular bars. It’s either/or for me. If you say flex got it 2-1, I could see how you got there, and vice versa for Ward.
Damn ward's people love going to the comments and proclaiming wins on every battle. Yt comments don't change the outcome. He lost. But he still dope af, imo.
Yeah, people can’t be objective anymore. They pick their favs and then just ride for them. Ward is top tier talent, but Flex way better penmanship and has a more unique & smooth delivery than most. Remember, Flex came at a time when it was all setup/punch/rinse/repeat and him having his own style set him apart from everyone. Classic battle, both killed it but I had Flex 2-1 Gentleman’s 30 if not for the slip up
Madflex in the building and again on Cam give the dude his big plates he deserves how many top tier performances does flex have to give y'all before you push him the way you do Ward 🔥🔥🔥🔥 from both battlers but easy 2-1 Flex
Yo kotd quit playing with mad flex when everybody else left for smack or other ventures madflex been here killing shit and y’all still won’t give him a title shot
First was close. Need to watch again to decide. Ward got the second. Ward did better in the third than most people said. But Flex got that. Verdict: Cool battle. Needs a rewatch for a clearer verdict, for me.
Rd 1, close but Charisma and energy took this one W - Ward Rd 2, not very close. Ward with the impression took it away W - Ward Rd 3, The Toe tap was crazy, but Flex came out heavy, W - Flex 2-1 Ward
AWards rebuttal included the smile, serious face, elbows back and leaned in for the punch just like Flex said. 😂😂😂
And the rebuttal was REAL weak 🤣
Madflex is just nice with it. His writing, delivery, the way he crafts his rounds. Dude is cold.
I'm too cold! ❄️

Rd 3- Flex edge
2-1 Flex. Idk what battle other people are watching
A ward didn't edge the 2nd, he clearly took it after Flex choked.
Ward won the 1st and 2nd in my eyes flex's 3rd was crazy

That "bitch inside you" set up wuz 🔥 and original af the way he did it
Man flex third round was so fucking fire. Dirtiest pen in the game. Man deserves all the respect
Madflex third was crazy
Ward's third round rebuttal was hilarious lol
Pass and madflex should do 2 on 2z so I can watch it on mute and play the double dragon theme song
First round debatable
Second round A WARD
third round FLEX, FIRE ROUND
Hard to pick a winner
Dam! That never find a Good pen in the junk drawer was crazy! I didn’t see where he was goin with the set up but that was nice!
Madflex's 3rd round has so much replay value. I'd like to see him and geechi rematch on a bigger stage maybe next year
People have been comparing flex to pass for years but he's a whole different level. I hope this is his year. Classic performances for years but way underappreciated
A-Ward Rebuttal Game is really getting CRAZY... I still got Madflex 2 - 1 (1st and 3rd) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Flex left earth in the 3rd
Everybody talking about A.Ward cussin... What about A.Ward spittin' FIRE!!
I fuck with A Ward heavy but after Flex’s third, I just can’t seem to appreciate anything Ward does anymore. I’m not saying he ended Wards career he just put him back a few years. Sent him back to the minors. Nothing but proving ground battles for Ward ever since.
jessgale he battled chef trez and illmac mack Myron and has a 2 on 2 with loso against geechi gotti and bdot

Criminally slept on, yet refuses to switch up his style and go with that same ol’ setup/punch, rinse/repeat formula that everyone gets famous on. Cats like Flex, Ness Lee, Swave, etc are so incredible and they just do their thing no matter what. Originality and creativity are slowly fading in this game. Sad.

Madflex look like he plays Hockey for Valvoline and A.Ward looks like the Starting 3rd String QB for a Foosball Team
3rd strong QB for a Foosball team.
I'm an A ward fan but that's actually funny lol
The fantasy football reference was on fire
A . Ward cussing now?
That unload reload line hit a nerve😡😂
This was a crazy battle, both had career performances. Gave the 1st to flex and the 2nd and 3rd to ward. (Ward 2-1)
Shoutouts to A Ward for fighting through crowd bias like a champ, Madflex is an alien as always.
Crazy matchup really, Madflex got the coolest delivery, and A Ward got the best damn projection in battlerap.
Agreed. Flex pen was just a tad too much for him though. Without the slip-up I’d have a gentleman’s 30 for Flex. Still holds up today though. Classic!
Anyone calling it 3-0 either way cant be trusted!!! 😂😂😂 2-1 Ward but im not gonna fight 2-1 Flex....🤷
Everything after( but ) is bull$h!t
A ward lost every round
In opinion he was cooked in the first😂

Thats still a choke lmmfao

I sooooo wanna see madflex and pass team up for a 2 on 2
God knows you never find a good pen in the junk draw...
2-1 Debatable. For the people saying A.ward got 3-0 is mad hating.
