I really like Geminis voice although it takes a couple of listens to get all the content. Raptors flow is unreal, his grime clash against future was unbelievably sick.
Proper sick clash....both had heavy bars and I liked a lot of Gemini's material but personally I preffered Raptors style, lyrics and delivery....I thought he took it. Haven't got a problem with the result though, it's just a preference thing and it was close as hell.....great battle man.
Fuck's sake, wondered how long it would be before some mug said this. The similarity ends at the accent. It's just because Southerners never hear the Manny accent, this is the equivalent of me saying that Bleek is biting Tony D. Wise up
marvelleonline i did, and i see Gemini stumble a handful of times..there's no way..they edited him way more and he had to start his bars over.. Raptor got screwed.!!
I don't think Gemini was flopping or stumbling, in grime music, its called 'a reload'... you know when the momentum of the bars are just going in, and you have to re-load from the last 4 or 8 bars.. I personally don't think he was flopping.. I'll watch again
Raptor - Shotty comparisons are going to get annoying. There's a vauge similarity but it's obvious Raptor has not done anything to be like Shotty at all. He's very much himself. I prefer his style too, it's grabs me. Gemini has the bars, I don't have that physical reaction to them for the most part, something just missing, don't know what. Really good battle, hard to call but I'd give it Raptor simply due to preference of style.
My only criticism of Raptor is that he's soooo similar to Shotty. But tbh if being a very good quality copy of one of the best battlers DF has had is the worst I can say about him he's doing alright. Gemini was fucking amazing though. People have made the reference to Coca Cola's red Santa Claus before but the way he put it together was perfection. Now he's slowed his delivery down to just the right pace for the barrage of bars he brings he's a massive threat.
Wagwan fam do you want action!! Gemini is fuckin fire!!! Intelligent bars and delivery is amazing. Look forward to more gemini battles. Raptor is hard too but gems stage presence is a lot better both rappers are sick thow still!!
the way i see it, the first round is clearly Raptor's, the second round is clearly Gemini's, and the third round is very close and you could argue it either way but I think Gemini's
Like watching shotty vs tony if they were in there 20s haha
best battle Don't Flop have uploaded in a good few months!
That two bar/Gemini bar from raptor was heavy. Massive under reaction.
This is Real!! It's like there was £3000 to win. Epic Battle
True that!
How much was the prize money?
For the 2 vs 2 tourney at 5th Birthday??? £3k
*****
there wasnt no money this was jus a battle thats a mad ting
Anyone else here because of BETA Squad? 🔥

"Shortening your 'air supply like you've been barbers." Shoulda done a slow it down.
Frankie phraser in the background being Gemini's biggest fan girl
Best Don't Flop battle I've seen in a minute. Bars all over.
Best battle i've watched in a while. Both actually showed desire, give them more Eurgh !!

sick battle this is what df is all about, raptor's my new favorite can't wait to see him battle some top tier battlers
This is one of the best battles ive watched. Two very talented dudes 👏🏻
Gemini looks like Carlos' older brother!
Fucking hell, one of the best battles i've seen on DF In a while!
Best battle seen in a while
Looking forward to seeing these guys battle more
In my opinion, this is the best DF battle they've had in a while.
classic battles, this clash made me such a huge fan of both these legends. respect
One of the biggest battles in df ever, need more like this!
It does sound like Raptor is biting Shotty's style
Fuck's sake, wondered how long it would be before some mug said this.
The similarity ends at the accent.
It's just because Southerners never hear the Manny accent, this is the equivalent of me saying that Bleek is biting Tony D. Wise up
They both from Manchester dik head
It doesn't... at all... like not even close
Actually shotty was interviewed a few days ago and said raptor told him he grew up listening to him so he is heavily influenced by shotty.
Sole4Soul its a style of delivery, whole citys do the same and rap in certain ways
Anyone else think "Mini Shotty vs Mini Tony D..." when they watch this?
Complete robbery, raptor took it, i think raptors already a title contender
Sick battle considering 2 new guys and not very hyped up. This is what df is all about, good things to come from these 2.
Fuck that..Raptor won..Gemini messed up way more times..wtf?
that's bullshit.
Raptor first, Gemini second, 3rd is debatable..
but did he?
i think so..am i wrong? idk..it seemed like raptor won no doubt about it.

Battle was fucking quality, could have gone 2-1 eitherway
Raptor The new DF Token Boy.
Round I, I gave to raptor
Round 2 was CLOSE but slightly edged to raptor
Round 3 Gemini took, would have even without raptor's slips
Corey Austin stupid verdict.
tbh both of these look to be a threat
Fucking awesome battle. Both MC's did really well, brought some AWESOME hard bars.
Sick battle but raptor gave away that third round by rapping about himself too much
Exactly!
I would say that calling out Tali also doesn't make Gem's round any stronger..
It was a who where when what why scheme I thought it was sick tbf
sick battle :D
both were fucking quality, big ups
Haha YES! Big battle! Gemini callin out Tali aswell, that's gonna be MAHOOSIVE!!!!!
Such a sick clash this one
Yo raptor got good man! Use to chill with this guy as kids man good seeing you making moves bro! Well done lad!
Both top tier sickkkk
You know what I see the sighns of respect in gem s eyes after his ops finished there bars !!! Sic battle
Sick battle, both went in hard. Fire.
these are two dope battlers tbh

Really good battle, hard to call but I'd give it Raptor simply due to preference of style.
Gemini took this battle hands down he was to good on the day
This battle shouldn't have been judged, it's just too close to call.
fully agree with that. They were both clean in their styles and both held their bars well. Each to their own
Noe THIS is title match level shit!
It's not that Raptor was bad, Gemini's bars just sounded so much more intelligent if ygm
Frankie Phraser writing for Gem
Yes boiis
That was sick
Both bad ass
that scheme about running through bullets like the last stand FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Sick battle. 2-1 Gemini. Hope to see more from these dudes.
Gemini.. the best thing about e&daniels trying to become part of df
They both went it! Gemini had some sick bars, but thought Raptor edged it slightly
the headquarters- dome in 4 punch went over everyones heads
The bars been raised
Looking back at this battle i reckon these 2 would of made a sick double team back then
Raptor vs E&D basically, and he still won haha.
I think these two are seriously going to kill the battle scene... KOTD get ready.
it would be good if you put links to the intro tracks in the description
Gemini-That Boy Nice!
those astrological bars.. this is crazy. epic
raptor took the first, Gemini second n third. both are a force to reckoned with they could both easily b the next champ
first round raptor, 2nd and 3rd gemini. but both are ones to watch in years to come
I give this to Raptor, wow
Not a chance in hell!!! Raptor pissed all over Gemini!!!
MA's high-ass dad in the front row

This is a certified classic
Raptor comes hard everybattle. DF has got to give him a decent battler next,
Raptor for me. Flows sick
Dontflop = Revived
gemini is tony D's son?
Fucking great battle. Bars.
Wagwan fam do you want action!! Gemini is fuckin fire!!! Intelligent bars and delivery is amazing. Look forward to more gemini battles. Raptor is hard too but gems stage presence is a lot better both rappers are sick thow still!!
Sick battle
JHEEEEEEZE! these are both gonna be problems, especially Gemini!
Josie Cunningham and the s cape in metropolis got fucking crickets what's this crowd on???
raptor killed this 3-0 easy... fuck knows who made that decision!!
im a fan of raptor n was backing him in this battle but gemini took this.
Sick
I love how Raptor did a personal spin
I would say raptor took it the crowd favourited Gemini's bars and slept on Raptor a little, sick battle though!
Best battle since shotty-ars
portrait bar was fire
Raptor took that for me - wicked battle
This was when uk battlers never got paid ,Could have fooled me.
Better battle then anything the channel has released recently.
for anyone watching this. The reason Frankie is reacting so much to Gemini first round vs raptor its because he write it.
Raptor got this for me
raptor won absolutely standard,better flow bars n delivery
These rappers really need to do some research if they're going to reference historical events. The planes involved in 9/11 were not 747s.
Gemini is one of the best up and coming MCs in this league by a distance man wind him up and watch him go
the way i see it, the first round is clearly Raptor's, the second round is clearly Gemini's, and the third round is very close and you could argue it either way but I think Gemini's
I hpe battle of the brave crowd isn't like this. Roll on dec 6th
one of the best battles around at the minute, Gemini needs to get out of E&D before his career starts stagnating
How many more people that have died in car crashes is there for Gem to bar about? ahah, he's sick though, he got this battle 3-0 for me.
the black guy in the front line watching his own version of the battle or something he looks at raptor like once rest of the time he's just wandering
looks like m.a
True
Phantomdirt Implying that 'Veteran watcher' is a thing. I dunno, I guess I've watched most of the battles for the last 3 years
FRANK II I thought it was m.a at first
Phantomdirt it's not MA dude
RAR RAR RAAAR! Who wants to be king Arthur when ur a fucking Pharaoh!!! BLAAAAAAD! WWWOOOWWW Arthur got a royal roasting!
First time I liked Raptor but. that "portray/portrait/poor traits" shit? heard that way too many times already.
big battle
Raptor kinda has a flow like shotty..cool
This is the closest your gonna get to lunar c vs shotty
Raptor is very cool/ From Russia with love
That Big Apple line was hard as fuck (no homo).\
Gemini's second round was crazy
