I am a huge phi life cypher fan and Life is by far the best freestyler in the UK ( lord finesse in USA )but I prefer Si Philli's flow on the album's. Have you checked out Phi Life Cypher live on Tim Westwood it's the dogs nuts
this is actual freestyle rap (off the top) for all of those people saying how shit it is. Life MC is one of the UK;s best rappers and if you listened to just one track from Phi Life Cypher (due including life MC), then you would realize just how sick a rapper and lyricist he really is.
You're only as good as the battle you're in, Life didn't bring the goods with him this time, simple as. Pro didn't win everytime at Jump Off but he was a better battle rapper than Life ever was or IS. Life belongs in the studio that's the facts
He got slapped...real off the dome LIFE could do that all day if was a 50 round battle pro could only win 5/6 tops...anyway decade later reply hope ya good lol
Pro' Green reminds me of Eyedea for some reason. Just his attitude and ability to take down people in battle and react when people brought his race into play. Love watching him battle.
I like Professor Green song, but i can see that Life is a better MC, he is old school style, very good rhyme's and very nice style, I think he deserves to win.
@TTTT686 that's a really good line tho, y wud u not reuse it? As long as ur not reusing the line in front of the same people all the time, it's like wen comedians repeat jokes right?
@MrUndify pretty much every rapper does some sort of hand gestures and stuff while rapping, look at freestyles anywhere, like on Westwood and stuff, and lots of them do hand gestures, just because it helps them get into the groove of the beat or whatever, i find myself doing it when i rap myself with no excuse
cant believe some of you jokers think green wins,greens rhymes are nursery rhyme,lifes are deep,raw and pure off the top,if this was judged in the states life would of won easy peace
You don't know what DNA is? It's a common thing, in some sports, in running at the olympics, and in rap. It's not a stereotype, it's simply something that they've had more time to perfect
I think he was taking the mick and joking around, I knew him before he was famous and his nan basically was like a second nan to myself. He is from upper Clapton, northwold estate and never actually spoke like that
Am I the only one who doesnt know who won? Someone please tell me? Only thing I can comment on is that Life is one of the greatest Lyricists theres ever been and I cant choose between him and Lowkey as who's the best of Britain.
+Micky Burns (Burnzy1986) pro green won,,i hate green myself lol hes fake imo,,i agree about what you said about life,,hes a REAL sick mc for sure but hes no battle mc really peace
Green may have won that, but Life MC is a seriously good freestyler, honestly, listen to some of his shit, you will be surprised how fucking good he is, Respect to Green and Life MC
Pro Green has won now... look at how far he as come now and how far he still has to go! Well done on working hard and getting his life in a much better place than before! R.I.P his nanny
Life Mc, arguably one of the best Mc'z to ever touch the mic

I thought he was unique compared to many of the other Jumpoff wannabes!
Also, I reckon Life is a bit better overall as an MC looking at his rappin' skills here. Pro Green's discography isn't that good from what I've heard.
You're only as good as the battle you're in, Life didn't bring the goods with him this time, simple as. Pro didn't win everytime at Jump Off but he was a better battle rapper than Life ever was or IS. Life belongs in the studio that's the facts
i love how pro just smiles and is aving fun when his opponets are all jaked up and serius
He got slapped...real off the dome LIFE could do that all day if was a 50 round battle pro could only win 5/6 tops...anyway decade later reply hope ya good lol
Crikey I wasn’t sure if I had dreamed all of these rap battles until revisiting them , been years lol
dont flop is all written...this is all freestyle
Pro' Green reminds me of Eyedea for some reason. Just his attitude and ability to take down people in battle and react when people brought his race into play. Love watching him battle.
Click the 'CC' Button and click transcribe audio, and look at the subtitles, its hilarious!
man couldnt even look at life mc
life mc stood there and took it like a man
now you know who the little boy is,
2:17 That pause before he talks about being mixed race.. That shows it's off the dome.. Good stuff
not really, on the spot, you might think of some old stuff just to keep it going, doesnt mean its written..
So many years later no one’s actually clocked pro saying his names edward 😂😂 and he pulled off the posh school kid voice perfectly 🤣
Miss the swags back in the day
I like Professor Green song, but i can see that Life is a better MC, he is old school style, very good rhyme's and very nice style, I think he deserves to win.
Shut the fuck up
Agreed.
How you didn't give life the win literally boggles me.
watched this so many times
When are they new contests whant to join can some one tell me please
'you ain't beating me homie, look its rio Ferdinand on crack wearing a tea cosey' love that

Look as a freeze frame on 5:23, then play. They look to be dressed pretty much the same...
Been a while 😂
Can some one tell me when they will they be a contest this year and how often it comes will like to join
pro green used the sister lighter line in 3 of the videos from jump off
Wow the uk battle scene has evolved bare since this
How so?
*****
well the fact were battling in america and beating some of the best just shows how much weve evolved
Yeah it evolved so much that it de-evolved.....
@Tonypisstov ur still goin on?
@TTTT686 that's a really good line tho, y wud u not reuse it? As long as ur not reusing the line in front of the same people all the time, it's like wen comedians repeat jokes right?
can someone post green's rap?
@MrUndify pretty much every rapper does some sort of hand gestures and stuff while rapping, look at freestyles anywhere, like on Westwood and stuff, and lots of them do hand gestures, just because it helps them get into the groove of the beat or whatever, i find myself doing it when i rap myself with no excuse
how disrespectful turnin your back when some1 is spittin...
@TheSirStu as much as i love green, you do raise a point
@brooklynchild66 look up lunar c, youll change that list i promiss :P
much love for sway as a judge, definately one of the best in the UK.
what brand are profs jeans?? lol
Cant believe he was stepping toe to toe with life back in the day , His new shit is so fucking bad...
@W3STBEEF that line is older than god. i even heard eyedea throw that out in some 90s battle
life merked pro green life u da don.. one love to phi life cypher
whats "dred locks" or whatever?? =P
why does green always look away from the other mc ? wen the other mc is spittin ?
MC Life for me. Both outstanding.
Surely this is rehearsed
Man like chuckie at the end
@jamflip rap is "poetry of the street" it doesn't matter if it's insults
is that chuckie who used mc flex back in the day?
when green comes on ' hey my names edward ' such a boy
this aint his first battle how can life say he bottled it when he battled jin and choked ??
how dyu apply to be in dis
cant believe some of you jokers think green wins,greens rhymes are nursery rhyme,lifes are deep,raw and pure off the top,if this was judged in the states life would of won easy
peace
@avalonferrarixo Brixton i think?
wtf was up with pro green at the end?
@CoffeeBeatsTea You obviously don't know MC Life.
why is there no beat?
Edward??? Thought his name is Steven?
you know whats funny is that he worked his ass of back then to this 50 k .. hes getting that a month now ..
@MCJaayMC he uses that rhyme every battle. truly swag MC
Why is the host Robert Downey Jr from Tropic Thunder
00:35
@marconi69 you realise this was from 2005? from before he was famous? so they're backing him because they obviously thought he was better
@HarrisonCoultasx because you didn't copy this from another video? freeaak
You don't know what DNA is? It's a common thing, in some sports, in running at the olympics, and in rap. It's not a stereotype, it's simply something that they've had more time to perfect
MC LIFE SMASHED IT
at 4:20 why didnt anyone tell sway that he forgot to take the label off his cap
@oo0LuK30o1985 he uses it like on all his battles with black guys
Pro Green has a go at Life for writing his lyrics but Pro Green has obviously written his too.
PaulJohn204 life freestyled I bet u
Pro green definitely used pre writtens as he used bars used in previous battles. Life MC freestyled the whole battle
Life is about a million times better than green
@tettster92
nah, he's colourblind mate, havent you heard?
He loves the sister line doesn't he. He used it on Jin and also some other British MC.
Lil green boy tried say ' he wrote these lyrics', bad move boy. this is the greatest freestyler your against here.
@Gnomestaz yes
@RossPsx Life won the best freestyle rapper award before o_O
to me, rap battles are about the insults... some rappers barely have insults in the long ass raps.
Loooooooool , Pro Greens 1st and he sounds sooo posh in the interview at the end !!!
I think he was taking the mick and joking around, I knew him before he was famous and his nan basically was like a second nan to myself. He is from upper Clapton, northwold estate and never actually spoke like that
Am I the only one who doesnt know who won? Someone please tell me? Only thing I can comment on is that Life is one of the greatest Lyricists theres ever been and I cant choose between him and Lowkey as who's the best of Britain.
+Micky Burns (Burnzy1986) pro green won,,i hate green myself lol hes fake imo,,i agree about what you said about life,,hes a REAL sick mc for sure but hes no battle mc really
peace
totally agree life mc is legend got all his n philifes albums n lowey is dope too dear listener album is classic ✌
wtf... why do they all say "bat all" or "bat ughlllll"
Green may have won that, but Life MC is a seriously good freestyler, honestly, listen to some of his shit, you will be surprised how fucking good he is, Respect to Green and Life MC
loooool pro at the end is funny! "like seriously it was amazing!" he's taking the piss outta Life calling him a fan!
life mc's bars werent written, he can just freestyle that well look him up
Bless him at the end professor green he's proper buzzing then he's like bye bless him
Life is unreal compared to pro green.. literally, any guy contesting that just look him up!!!
wow green here, and now releasing a single with lily allen....legend
01:35.jamming batty is pppular now
he used "im the reason your sisters lighter then you" against roky

@fullyjuiced He was supposed to, it's a fashion to leave it on, show off how much it cost.
ya agree mate 10000000000000000000000% life mc best mc out there in the world
What is that on ronaldinho's head?
@789goodnamesALLTAKEN This Vid Is From Back In 2009
Bless you kids xD thinking everything is so simple
I agree
people always talk about wether or not shit is prewritten.... most freestyle rappers think about shit while the competition is going off
people need to stop hating let him do hes thing fam
i never used to like prof much but afta dat - much respect blood!
Professor Green, Blind fury, Eminem, Joe Budden and Slaughterhouse best cipher/freestyle battle rappers
wtf is up with life's arm?
Stress, he obviously can't handle battle rapping, better off in a studio writing bars instead of thinking them up on the spot
Life is my neighbor no joke
where u live
@MCJaayMC he used that same line in the £2000 one with roky 2nd down on the suggestions
wtf was with pro at the end lool
what about Plan B or example......or ali g
"im the reson your sisters lighter than you" herd tht in two of these videos blates a written bar
@cyrilsnare ye he must of i swr hes from hackney probs press training
mc life goes fuckn hard no doubt
Pro Green has won now... look at how far he as come now and how far he still has to go! Well done on working hard and getting his life in a much better place than before! R.I.P his nanny
Straight gangsters don't give a fuck about individual sales, he's so OG he does the same with those six packs of mini coca colas.

Good stuff
