massive Shuffle fan here, he def won this but I was very surprised/impressed with heretic who i had never heard of previously. Definitely the most creative approach towards Shuffle i've seen thus far
Judged battle, money on the line... best battle in ages... hmm, coincidence? I don't think so. So glad these two have got the balls to use this format, it brings out the best in battlers. Shuffle got this with the crowd on his side but Heretic didn't go down without putting up a good fight. This was a top battle.
+wertrocks123 every battle has to be promo nowadays, fuck promo i say judged battles and money on the line is definitley the best format, as you said it actually gives battlers a reason to do well, rappers dont even get wins or losses unless its a body nowadays, what does battle record even mean anymore?
More judged battles desperately fucking needed. The promo epidemic is getting out of hand. Shuffle is back on form, Heretic is a favorite of mine, but he came harder at Craft-D than Shuffle T and that`s unforgivable imo. Definitely 2-1 and not 3-0 tho.
it goes without saying that shuffles second round was one of the best in don't flops history, but i feel heretics first was absolutely fire. clearly shuf won but damn, heretic was on top of his game this round
I've come back to this after all these years. Shuffle T is obviously incredible and the whole random 'chat' with a stranger in a coffee shop bars are elite, but Heretic absolutely matched him and came with some proper personals that people slept on. Great battle of wit, wordplay, schemes and puns from both battlers!
GUN SO BIG is hilarious. "So if your looking to buy a gun, I got a fucking giant one." I died. This round 2 was very good as well. "The feminine activist?" "I might even use this conversation verbatim." Death again.
yo... This battle was incredible on both sides. I been waiting on Shuffle T's new battles. This was thee most lyrically skilled and playful battles. The way both of them mastered the art of making so much sense and sounding like they're having an actual conversation and complex perfect rhyme simoultaneously. That was beautiful. But yo Shuffle T was more entertaining to watch. I was on edge with his every bar like "what will he say next?" Never disappointed. I never seen anything like a perfect 3 rounds but Shuffle T pulled it off. Man...its sad that URL wouldn't accept this type of battle. This is true incredible talent from both sides. Keep these type battles coming. I gave it 3-0 Shuffle T, no debating
Awesome battle. Both were on form. Heretic is good at breaking down his opponents and making them look bad. He's more interesting than all those garbage battlers who infest the scene with shitty gun bars and tasteless wordplay. Still, Shuffle T probably won this. Clever writing with brilliant multis.
In the grand scheme of battle rap history, I feel like shuffle t is underrated. I know he's quite respected in the UK but I think he's actually one of the most talented battlers all time, for a few different reasons.
Good battle. Definitely give the win to Shuffle T, but Heretic still did a good job. Shuffle's second though = fucking genius. Really opened up that whole "this person once said" angle perfectly.
I really don't think people are deeping that Shuffle multi syllabled through an entire second round. He is one half of the greatest 2on2 battle duo ever.
whenever anyone is against shuff I always fink "what the heck can this other guy say" but big up heretic, sick performance. held his own really well. Shuffle t's the fuckin chief of the butt police had me chuckling haha
Wow that was amazing! I'm a shuffle t fan and wasn't expecting to back heritic but he really did go in. All in all I think shuffle t took it though, Unbiased.
I've been following KOTD for a long time, and battle rap since the scribble days and all, but one of the reasons I'm liking Don't Flop more often is that it's actual real lyricism these days. It's sad because going back to battles like "Dizaster vs DNA" battles used to be much more lyrical with mixed in frees and rebuttles, but the overemphasis nowadays on forced bars and guns is killing battle rap, I'm actually not joking. Battle Rap is literally turning into "Conceited vs Conceited" kind of battles with mixed in name flips..... but then lets fast forward to this battle: It's just creative imagery and angles with mixed in humor from both of them, battle rap needs more shit like this because it's becoming so fucking lazy in URL/KOTD it's starting to get cringeworthy.
What's Gareth Bale doing in the crowd.. Shuffle's second round was, hands down, the best round I've ever seen in battle rap. I saw someone comment on how battles should be judged,, but considering the quality these days, judged battles should almost be obligatory, unless it's a battle that's 1 week in the making. It's unfair to battlers not getting a W for a battle they prepared their ass off to do. I've never seen Heretic before, but I was impressed by how good he did, considering the reaction that Shuffle got. But Shuffle killed every round, and that second round from him is just EPIC. I'll come back to watch this one, but Heretic is an interesting dude. He's got some funny angles, flips, and generally does good on his rhyming. Good battle.
I thought same thing. It's really weird though, I've really rated some of Heretics battles I think he's good; then as you say, he battles someone top tier like Shuffle and becomes near nothing in comparison.
Naaah, Shufflo can DEFINITELY hold their own on individual solo missions. Truly, they are the best 2 on 2 champions of the INDUSTRY, let alone the league.
Shuffle T's second round killed 3 people in my house.
4 people died making that round
It happened to you too?
Same 😭

Mate, are you aware that all of this is rhyming? HAHAHA
+Tommy TopCat Yes,well I have a gift lol.
+Mate this.
Better get practicing Didn’t know any of that was him...I might actually use this conversation verbatim when I actually battle him

+wertrocks123 Agreed, need more battles with actual stakes on DF as opposed to two people pissing around
+wertrocks123 couldn't agree more! hopefully more judged/money on the line battles to come
Heretic surprised me.
Haha Shuffle T is genius lol. Really thinking outside the box in his 2nd round
Shuffle T's second round is one of the GOATs
+meerokay What's that stand for?
+KingCarrot500 greatest of all time
My appreciation
Absolutely.
bro I just finished his first one and I'm already blown away
Are you aware all of this is rhyming?
lol what, ofc or it wouldn't be battle rap
+Pedro Gomes watch Shuffles second round eh..
+Pedro Gomes Its about shuffle 2nd round *Facepalm*
yeah my bad, watched it now.. I was in the beginning when I replied.. lol
+Pedro Gomes Did you watch the battle mate
Has a problem with almost everything that exists
Oh, you mean Liv Wynter
No, it's a bloke
Oh, you mean Liv Wynter
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
I don't get it but I still found it funny. can you explain?
@@JohnPork-gr3bxwatch Pedro vs Liv Wynter
This really had the vibe of 2012 Don't Flop. Good times.
“Mate are you aware that all of this is rhyming?”
Animated delivery - Postman pat
This was a perfect match up: battle of the witty, sarcastic multis. People need to stop hating on Heretic, he's an amazing writer
very nice lads. lighthearted, intellectual & friendly. keep up the good work!
being nice is always the best thing to do.
peace & respect//🌻🤝🌾
More judged battles desperately fucking needed. The promo epidemic is getting out of hand.
Shuffle is back on form, Heretic is a favorite of mine, but he came harder at Craft-D than Shuffle T and that`s unforgivable imo. Definitely 2-1 and not 3-0 tho.
Good to see Shuffle on top form, he got the win easy
+Bone Idol wouldnt't say easy but he won
+drexl spivey it was easy for him
22:34 villun looks like hes about to bust out the american national anthem lol
he looks like he drank too much and wondering if his heart is about to stop, his face lmaoooo
***** hahaha yeah he zoned the fuck out haha
Ahahahahaha
Hahaha my chess !: )
+Neutro LOL
Best battle I can remember in ages. Shuffle's 2nd round is amazing!
"For every day you dont consume cheese, Im going to eat twice as much" 😂
it goes without saying that shuffles second round was one of the best in don't flops history, but i feel heretics first was absolutely fire. clearly shuf won but damn, heretic was on top of his game this round
Agreed.
"Animated delivery, postman Pat" oh my GOD
Shuffle's second is fire
Heeeeyyy runescape lets go!
Get on that Old school dood.
Shuffle T seems to kill everybody. Started off my British battles phase with Shotty, then found Marlo and Shuffle, now solo Shuffle. Huge fan.
Been waiting for this battle since I first saw Heretic, such a good battle, loved it
A whole 2nd verse based on the same rhyme scheme, and he keeps going with it in the first section of the 3rd as well!!
i feel like this is how URL crowds imagine every DF battle
I've come back to this after all these years. Shuffle T is obviously incredible and the whole random 'chat' with a stranger in a coffee shop bars are elite, but Heretic absolutely matched him and came with some proper personals that people slept on. Great battle of wit, wordplay, schemes and puns from both battlers!
Shuffle-T has two of my favourite Don't Flop rounds. His 2nd here & his "gun so big" 1st against Carter Deems. Big ups!
GUN SO BIG is hilarious. "So if your looking to buy a gun, I got a fucking giant one." I died.
This round 2 was very good as well. "The feminine activist?" "I might even use this conversation verbatim." Death again.
" Are you aware that all this is rhyming? " = game set match
"Mate are you aware that all of this is rhyming?" Hahahaha brilliant 9:32
Heretic is in my top3 new mcs , but shuffle did kill him.
shuffle 2-1
Such a great battle! Both emcees killed it, no beef, no violence, loads of jokes! 😁🙏🏻
props to Eurgh, a lot of us would just shave it all off if we accidentally went that high on the jawline, but not my boy Rowan
😂😂😂
omd lmao
I love what this has done for battle rap, clever lines with posh geezas. It would be sick if they could actually take it to music form.
+Feelfreenutrition Pots Heretic does music
Still one of my favourite battles

Heretic is good at breaking down his opponents and making them look bad. He's more interesting than all those garbage battlers who infest the scene with shitty gun bars and tasteless wordplay.
Still, Shuffle T probably won this. Clever writing with brilliant multis.
"you know what rhymes with veganism, oooh look at me I'm different" one of the funniest bars ever.
Fucking hilarious
How does this not have more views?! Fucking legendary!
Shuffles 2nd was the most original scheme I've heard in a long time. Very refreshing, thank you
Rather than watching Heretic's final round, I just went back and rewatched shuffles second. Too nice!
In the grand scheme of battle rap history, I feel like shuffle t is underrated. I know he's quite respected in the UK but I think he's actually one of the most talented battlers all time, for a few different reasons.
why do people hate on heretic? he's a clever writer and breaks down people well
+Yemi2009 His racial and gender ambiguity makes them uncomfortable. Mainly the latter
heretics first round, having seen this many times. it grew on me.
That second might be my favourite shuffle round ever!
incredible the conversation verbatim multi was insane made the. whole round another level, he doesnt get the respect he deserves
+Luke Metcalfe so good!
Yeah but sadly ppl think metaphors are soooo difficult when they are easier to write than concepts like this with comedic timing
+Luke Metcalfe its the coughs and that makes it so realistic like there is a convo happening and there is awkwardness
Not even watched yet and straight away I was like 'oh no not heretic again'
Good battle. Definitely give the win to Shuffle T, but Heretic still did a good job. Shuffle's second though = fucking genius. Really opened up that whole "this person once said" angle perfectly.
Heretic was as always fantastic but Shuffle T is a fucking God!
When Shuffle said 'Being a Vegan is SHIT mate.'....felt that, I did.
I really don't think people are deeping that Shuffle multi syllabled through an entire second round.
He is one half of the greatest 2on2 battle duo ever.
Shuffles second round was unreal ahhahah may not be the best on the scene but definitely one of the most entertaining
Whos seen this more than a million times? Fire!
This battle deserves so many more views than it's going to get😂.
postman pat bar went in
whenever anyone is against shuff I always fink "what the heck can this other guy say" but big up heretic, sick performance. held his own really well. Shuffle t's the fuckin chief of the butt police had me chuckling haha
An old one but a great one
Fucking amazing 2nd from Shuffle, a 2 minute preamble to a punch line is the best I've ever seen.
Skip 2:03 - 4:33 if you're Vegan.
Shuffle ate this dude. Each one of Heretic's rounds is more awkward than the last.
this battle had me asking siri how much does a body bag + a casket cost on amazon prime
its good to watch rap battles with no violence.. no gun bars... just funny lol
"Shuffle T's the fuckin chief of the butt police" lmao
Wow that was amazing! I'm a shuffle t fan and wasn't expecting to back heritic but he really did go in. All in all I think shuffle t took it though, Unbiased.
shuffles second round... probably the funniest round in df history... pure class
0:48
7:28
14:05
Imagine putting 100 quid on yourself against shuffle in his prime...
Shuffle T I remember u and pete doing card tricks ;) happy to see u do well
The whole 'Copying my style thing' seemed a bit played out and stretched until Heretic did that scheme at the start of his third!

The 2nd is unbelievable - amazing! Oh and the postman pat line is incredible!
We already know what it is
the first judge looks like if blizzard got cancer
Honestly 8 years on I was wrong for this and I’m sorry bro 😂
What's Gareth Bale doing in the crowd..
Shuffle's second round was, hands down, the best round I've ever seen in battle rap. I saw someone comment on how battles should be judged,, but considering the quality these days, judged battles should almost be obligatory, unless it's a battle that's 1 week in the making.

I'll come back to watch this one, but Heretic is an interesting dude. He's got some funny angles, flips, and generally does good on his rhyming.
Good battle.
When Heretic goes up against genuine quality rather than the newcomers he really gets shown up. Shuffle is a killer in this one.
I thought same thing. It's really weird though, I've really rated some of Heretics battles I think he's good; then as you say, he battles someone top tier like Shuffle and becomes near nothing in comparison.
Shuffle back on his a game with that second round.
Shuffle T won the first and the second, Heretic held his own but he lost this battle
ermm he is a bit cheese tbh
+Luke Metcalfe who?
+Jgreen114 heretic I dno wat it is but some of his lines just make me cringe
the bad education line delivery was cringe
Funniest battle I think I've watched for years, fair play to both heretic and shuffle.
Shuffle just broke the battle rap fourth wall!!
Shuffle breaking the 4th wall in round 2 may have been the best thing ever.
Shuff is Da Goat. I'm convinced.
shuffle t has been off the last few times I've seen him glad he's back on form this time
I like Shuffle T. The more I see of him the more I'm intrigued.
Shuffle t had me rollin😂😂
How are you supposed to compete with shuffle
Both should battle Harry Baker
+mwad choudhury Don't Flop, hire this man
Dope angle from Shuffle T in the 2nd round 🔥🔥🔥
Shuffle's 2nd is fantastic conceptually and he ties it all together with multi's. BOSS
oh snap Papua New Guinea rep!! never thought i would here my town lol
this battle is vicious.
oh my god i cnt breathe shuffleeeeeee i love you
The Adidas kid didn't catch Shuffle's Starbucks-punchline at all. Nice awkward clap though
I don’t understand it lol
15:16 looks like dude a couple ppl behind Shuffle had his brow wiped by matey next to him after Shuffle's opening fire!!
shuffle has some great angles... always thought he was the stronger one of him and marlo, but i might be wrong..
Shuffle's second round is hall of fame worthy.
Naaah, Shufflo can DEFINITELY hold their own on individual solo missions.
Truly, they are the best 2 on 2 champions of the INDUSTRY, let alone the league.
6 syllable rhyme schemes the whole round.... fuckin dope.
Pause at 19:25 and look at Briggzy
one of the best
this is a dam good battle
