Man can we give JohnJohn his flowers? He basically saved a battle Tay Roc threw by the wayside because he didn't want to prepare for it. Not only that, he's given us great moments in battle rap and has separated the Rooks from the soon to be stars. He's a legend!

"What do you think of women's rights Jon?" ..... "Ah it's easy when you're a south paw" 🔥🔥🔥

Jon Jon brave for taking shotty in his first battle back any real battle fan knew Shotty was coming for blood

Shotty's third round is fucking nuts

Nobody: KZfaq: JJDD vs Shotty Horrah Me: ...okay?!?!?!

Americans will say JJDD won. Brits will say Shotty won. A lot of shit will go over heads based on general knowledge of the country you live in. Great Battle though...

Shotty Horroh is the best battler in battle rap history. No one is on his level

Shotty's first round is how you make a come back... Greatest ever

Big respect to Jon Jon for helping the sport on this side of the pond.. Also big respect to Shotty for keeping the battle rap alive in the uk 🇬🇧

I'm not even a John John fan, usually don't really like him, but this crowd is definitely sleeping on him. Boy brought bars

Shotty Horroh keeping UK battle rap alive bare love and respect for that fr fr

Shorty wordplay is unreal. His presence on stage is unreal

"Cant believe I like a white girl that Horroh scene I must be tripping over nothing " 😹😤😤🔥🔥🤦‍♂️

Lmaoooooo crowd was horrible, John had a lot of haymakers but all oos and aws smh

“My friend said shoot your shot so he did, and broke her jaw in two places”🤣🤣🤣🤣 Shotty is the real deal🙌🏽

my god this crowd is terrible...I remember when the UK crowds were the best in the world...wtf happened

"All these women wanting jobs that'll be their down fall. I said John what do you think of woman rights? Eh it's easier when you're south paw. " 🤯🤯😂💀

Respect to John John for going out there and doing his thing

TIMESTAMPS Round 1 JJ 1:47 SH 5:55 Round 2 JJ 11:55 SH 16:36 Round 3 JJ 21:25 SH 25:45

I appreciate the audio quality, mic'ing up the artists works well and it feels like there is some compression involved also. good shit premier battles

Crowd is hating against JJDD.

JJ: Y’all watch American basketball? Everyone: No! 😭😭😭

They sleeping on JJDD, I hate battles like this because the crowd is so biased.. his bars definitely deserved bigger reaction

Rip Kobe Bryant. Nice to see Shotty back. 1 of my faves of all time.

Big up premier battles and everyone involved. Ukbr

John John 2-1. Shorty 3rd Round was dope. Bias Crowd. I listen to bars.

UK: Shotty 3-0 US: They was sleeping on JJDD bars Me: 🤷🏾‍♂️

Crowd ruined it, cheered for Shotty for bars that didn't even deserve a cheer but didn't cheer for JJ's hard bars, same thing happened when Lunar C returned to battle rap too

that harry potter scheme was fuckign fire wtf

"What do you think of women's rights, John?" "Yeah..It's easier when your'e southpaw" Shotty clearly took the first and third.

We need shotty on url asap

Shotty has stepped up his game a lot was impressed.

"proper twelve to your head like his drinking McGregor whiskey." 🥂

Man John John was fire 🔥

*The women's rights bar was mad!*

Shotty edged it 2-1 but the crowd slept on jj tho! Absolute classic 🔥

Tf is goin on? This shit should have been way more hype. Random

Shotty Horrah's performance and wordplay is Fire🔥🔥🔥🔥 Dude is a Legend, JJDD was fire too, great battle.

"this round opens up to be little homes, like poly pocket." Shotty Horroh 😂😂😂

This was a great battle!!! I'm glad Shotty is back and they both killed it.

The crowd didn't even give John John a chance, and if you expected differently, you're crazy 😂

I love The Editing of this LEGUE Great Job salute From SUDAN 👏

this popped up out of no where YT algorithm is good sometimes

"I bet Tsu a (sewer) sense a (sensei) rat like master splinter" wtf! This a great back and forth

Shotty back as strong as ever - genius word play, exquisite delivery and that last line was as cold as ice!!!! Make the Gemini battle happen!

HOLD UP! They said this was a clear 30 for SH. To me, the only way u can go 30, either way, is if it’s based off preference. There’s’ nothing clear about this battle other than the crowd bias. If we being technical, Shotty’s return battle, more direct bars, punch power, and goin 2nd all works in his favor way too much. But JJ coming so prepared, saving the actual battle itself, and combination of setups/punches/ and occasional haymakers made all those rounds a lot closer than I think anyone expected. So it’s hard to just give Shotty rds 1 n 2. If any rd is clear, I’d say it’s for Shotty in the 3rd. But, this battle is definitely 2-1 either way.

“Rock body on John’s shoulders. The fake shit like Tyson fighting Braun Strowman” Shotty KNOWS his pro wrestling. That is a DEEP cut in WWE’s timeline. I’ve said it a million times before. I fucking love the relationship between hip-hop and professional wrestling. Two of my favourite things.

This was a back and forth. I’m a fan of shotty but JJDD came hard! Crowd was for sure biased.

This alone made me a subscriber!!!

"Can't believe I like a white girl that Horroh scene I must be trippin over nothing" siick

“The fans said you remind them of the Joker, and that’s what Gotham (got em) against you” 🔥🔥

This has gotta be the sickest venue that you guys have used! Lighting is sick!

Preference battle... Ive been a ShottyHORROH fan from the start. He been dope. Debatable. Either way. I think this is a win for the CULTURE bridging the gap & connecting the culture GLOBALLY.

After watching this battle Id really love to see SHOTTY vs RONE!!

Wow. That brought back some good memories of what battle rap is.

The crowd is hypin shotty so hard I don’t even want to listen to the fucking battle.

Real winner is the UK battle scene ✌ JJ is a beast. Shotty is a beast. Both scheming like crazy ❤ Production on POINT. Everything from light to sound to post was pro.

Crowd slept on JJDD hard.

Shotty just has a different vibe and the crowd always seems to go along with it

JJDD Brought pure barz and that crowd is dead, definitely ain't a brain cell between them smh.

John Da Don came along way. Dude is a problem!

This crowd is terrible, never hold an event in London ever again

Shotty legit best lyricist/entertainer/comedian/genius battle rapper of ALL time.

"If you try to stab me, it'll be your blood that's on ya blade" -sonya blade. 🔥

“ when they put me on horror scope (horoscope) I knew that was a sign” John nice with it 2:55

'You can't copy respect,well i cant respect a copy' simple line but soo fucking powerfull.

Only a true battle fan can see: jon jon MURDERED SHOTTY!

SHOTTY VS DIZASTER THATS A PROBLEM - SOMEONe SET IT UP

Shotty look like every skeleton in a scary movie

“ *Y’all already know how I feel smack! Y’all needa have that battle in White Plains, NY; AINT NOBODY GON GET KILLED SMACK* “ 😤😤😤‼️

"South paw" bar of the night. But jjdd made this a battle.

"shotty is in his bag like columbine" "whatever John pull go to yay (john paul gaultier)" 🔥🔥 OMG 😱 Horror is a Beast!!!

2-1 debatable either way

I thought Shotty retired . Welcome back champ 💪 notification gang

shotty defeated him wit that domestic abuse scheme

NO ONE CAN TELL ME SHOTTY DIDN’T TAKE THE W HERE! Learn to understand bars properly before you judge a battle people. When you actually break down his bars, you realise just how dope Shotty was here. Not convinced? Okay, here’s a few examples from his first round ALONE... “This round opens up to belittle homes, like a Polly Pocket” - A Polly Pocket is a ‘round’ toy gadget that literally ‘opens up’ when you click it, and there are ‘little homes’ inside the toy 🔥 “Since that punk Roc (referring to previous opponent Tay Roc)/punk rock banned/band from the UK, I’ve gotta do Johnny (John John) Rotten” - ‘Johnny Rotten’ is the front man of a ‘punk rock’ band called The Sex Pistols 🔥 “The operating table, shock, clear body (on the operating table the doctor says ‘clear’ before delivering a ‘shock’ to the patient’s ‘body’ with a defibrillator) - OR - the op, are rating Tay (Tay Roc)? Bull. Shock... Clear body” - basically saying if they’re ‘rating Tay’ they’ll get a ‘shock’ when he gets a ‘clear body’ 🔥 “I told you the next big acts/axe that come through the door will be facing the panel... well here’s Johnny” - this is a double entendre that refers to ‘Johnny’ (John John) being the next ‘big act’ to face ‘the panel’, but also plays on the scene from The Shining where Nicholson’s character puts an ‘axe’ through the ‘panel’ of the ‘door’ and shouts ‘Here’s Johnny!’ 🔥 The Wrestling bars are next - I don’t even like Wrestling, but it only took a couple of Google searches for me to realise how incredible some of these next bars are. Here are the best three examples... “Known to use the same moves like Brett and Sting (Brett Hart and Sting are two Wrestlers who share some of the same ‘moves’)” - he’s basically saying John John uses the same tactics in each battle, whilst using the Wrestling simile 🔥 “I’ll canvass the area where big John (John John) stood/Big John Studd (a famous Wrestler), and it’s not a Wrestling Ring” - this is such a dope double entendre - Big John Studd is a Wrestler that made his name in Wrestling Rings, where the floor is also called the ‘canvass’ 🔥 “I’ll have a fiend in your house in a mask... Saying LET ME IN” - ‘The Fiend’ is the nickname of a Wrestler called Bray Wyatt, who wore a ‘mask’ and his entrance theme music was ‘Let Me In’ 🔥 This next two bars are like fucking TRIPLE entendres man. It’s just genius stuff... “Coz I don’t know what the performance in hand’s meant (as in the upcoming performance)/performance in Hans meant (referring to ‘Hans’ performance devices)/performance enhancement (drugs used to ‘enhance performance) - but you’re about to fail the test you’re in (telling JJTD he’s gonna ‘fail the test’ ie lose the battle, but also links to the the Hans Performance products that were based on years of ‘testing’)/test urine (which links back the ‘performance enhancement’ drugs line, as these drugs have been known to cause athletes to fail urine tests)”. This bar is just so fucking smart 🔥🔥🔥 And now for the BAR OF THE BATTLE... “I’ll put a band on John’s head, and pay whoever use the Rambo first blood” - another RIDICULOUSLY intricate triple entendre. So first of all, he’s saying he’ll put a ‘band’ on ‘John’s head’ (meaning a ‘band’ of money to put a price on John John’s head) and he’ll use it to pay the ‘first’ person to use the ‘Rambo’ (or Ram Bow - the bow was a commonly used weapon of the Rambo character) to kill him. Meaning two: ‘Rambo’ are a famous Rock ‘Band’ who’s guitarist was ‘John’ Robinson. Also, ‘Rambo: First Blood’ is probably the most famous Rambo movie, and of course the main character is called ‘John’ Rambo, and he wore a ‘band’ on his ‘head’. Yeah, no one got all three meanings on that one. Now you see why he told you to wake up? FIRE!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Shotty has so many more bars like this throughout the battle. Only once you fully get them on this level, can you full understand how much he killed this shit.

Battle is 🔥 🔥 Can’t really judge it cause I can’t understand everything Shotty is saying.

Welcome back Shotty!!! Idgaf who you have winning, you can’t lie - Shotty’s delivery is amazing.

“He spends every cent to get a sniff, whatever Jon pull goes to yay (Jean Paul Gaultier) 🥶🥶🥶🥶😭

So glad to see that end with a hug, because they were throwing soul crushers at each other.

YESYESYES Shotty Horroh is battling again, now i hope he does well..

can't wait for this. payed 12€ for the PPV and hated that it was just 1 camera and the soundquality sucked too. i hope they fixed this here...

I had to put it on 1.5x speed for Don's rounds, man you aint givin a speech speed it up.

"Thank God we finally put an end to this jerk, can't let the saga continue...", i spit out my drink laughing when i heard that.

Crowd reaction: shorty won ... real rap: John John edged it. Biased crowd makes an autoloss for me . And John still won

5 am on my side of the pond. Lets go

Been missing you Shortty! When Shotty speaks it just FLOWS! JJDD not to shabby! Great battle

F*ck yeah new shotty horroh shit one of the most underrated artists. not only rapper.

JJDD was wildin crowd was just hatin

That Fiend bar was 🔥🔥🔥

What's the beef with Shotty and Eurgh? Shotty's not the only one; a lot of people have turned against Eurgh for reasons I don't know.

I miss watching shotty battle! My favorite battle rapper out of the states for real. Him and ars was the reason I started watching battle rap religiously. He is the embodiment of what a battle rapper should be.

shotts killed it. damn, I need the shotts vs rone battle

Easier win for Shotty than expected. John John had bars but some were generic. Shotty had way more creative bars. People slept on that short circuit Johnny 5 bar. John Paul goat/he here John Paul goatier. 🔥

The thumbnail look like shotty staring at death and he ain’t ready to go 😂

I respect John John, but Shotty took his head of clean. He’s gotten better with each battle, taking the right matches at the right time Goat shit.

"SO WHAT! ITS A SCHEME!.....(space jam)" howling

New fans flood bc they see John don’t know who Shotty even is you better GIVE THAT MAN HIS RESPECT

Both brought bars, it was awesome

So happy Shotty back...he the 🐐
