Battle of Words: 17 year old MC Blizzard vs 30 year old Supply Teacher Mark Grist
From the Guardian:
“More than a million viewers have so far delighted at Blizzard’s youthful upstartery (“I hope you drop dead/If I punch you in the face, who you going to call? Ofsted?”) being shamed by Grist (“I don’t care about the aggressive shit you spit online or that everybody’s heard of ya/You’d still give yourself a hernia trying to assemble flatpack furniture”).”
I realize that watching white Brits duke it out in a “rap battle” (I use this term here gingerly) is not for everyone, but the way Dead Poets’ Mark Grist (posh guy in the suit) just creamed this Blizzard person is so hilarious to me. I mean you just have to appreciate someone who can cite Socrates in a “rap battle” (yes, I really do find the quote marks necessary).
Of course, you’ll have to get over the accents first.
