I loved Harry's disses the most, but Simon's rap was actually insane

Not surprised Simon is so good at it, seeing as he’s pretty much surrounded by rappers/song writers. Both his fiancé and his best friend are singer song writers

Simon wrote his lyrics for sure, check some of his tracks with randolph there fire i think he was taking the piss in the new Christmas song, if he took it srsly he wouldve killed that beat for sure

simon definitely wrote his lol, he used to do rap skits in his old vids and he GENUINELY can spit when he tries

It started because KSI said he was leaving the Sidemen, made a song with Ricegum and threw a random shot at Ethan (Behzinga) for some reason, so Ethan responded with the first diss track in this video. Then out of NO WHERE, Harry off the top rope with the BANGER that would've ended anyone else's careers. JJ has talked about how that caught him off guard as nobody expected Harry of all people to make a diss track. JJ however came back with a couple bangers with "Little Boy" and "2 Birds One Stone" (which was also a diss at Joe Weller as well as Harry) which were great responses when JJ could've just easily taken a L, especially after Harry's track came out. Then at some point Deji got into it with Simon, Randolph, and Vik and they started making songs against each other. This entire saga was an insane time to be a fan of these dudes.

Harry's was sooo legendary I loved it, couldn't stop laughing 😂

Nobody wanted anymore smoke after Harry dropped his second diss. That shit was mental. 🤣🤣🤣

Harry's second disstrack went too personal and JJ couldn't even post the reaction to the diss because he got so angry and was just smashing things in the room. He had a beef with Joe weller at the time as well and when he won against Joe weller, Harry was the first one to jump in the ring to celebrate JJ's win

Idc how cringe this era looks now but back then it was such a good time to be a fan of them. Shit it was such a good time to be a fan of KZfaq period there were so many youtubers dropping so much content bc of beefs, diss tracks, boxing, the vlogs etc. It was that perfect sweet spot of the new era of youtube and the old era of youtube that blended so well its insane.

Miniminter is a jack of all trades he’s decent at pretty much everything so it was no surprise when he released a decent diss track. All the others were jokes and none of them had ever rapped and should be treated as such, the bars are meant to be funny no extra meaning behind them

Harry's are my favourite ngl, he went in hard But Simon's till this day pops up in my head from time to time. I think that says enough about how good it was.

Simon was joking around in the Christmas song making, he's a really good writer tho.

simon was on Lord Of The Mics years back against JME so he can rap, he just never takes it seriously

Miniminter has bars, but on the christmas song he is just joking around. He also has a series where he says "rap" lyrics and the contestants have to guess if its from an actual rap song or if he wrote it himself (harder than you expected, would be a good react if you were playing along, the one with actual rappers JME and P Money is a good one to start of with)

Okay, so here's the whole Backstory and Timeline. JJ decided to go live with Ricegum and Faze Banks for a couple of months in the US while he was creating his new song "Creature". When he announced this, he also said he was leaving the Sidemen and he was doing it because Ethan "Behzinga" was too fat and really annoying. In the video there is also a clip of him in the studio rapping about how the sidemen suck as a group. After this came out, Ethan released a Diss Track at JJ. Following that, Harry also release a diss track about JJ. Harry's came out of nowhere, there was no beef but he just thought it would be funny. After this JJ, dropped his disstrack against Ethan called Earthquake and then dropped another one against Harry. After that both Ethan and Harry dropped another disstrack at JJ. JJ did not respond to Ethan's disstrack, but he did respond to Harry's disstrack. At the same time, JJ was trying to build hype for his first fight against Joe Weller, so he created a disstrack against both of them called "2 birds 1 stone". This first verse is about Joe (JJ calls him Popeye in the song) and the second verse is against Harry. This was the last disstrack in the KSI disstrack era. While all this is going on, Deji started throwing shots at Simon (Miniminter) and after seeing the popularity of disstracks, he decided to make one against all the sidemen. After he dropped that, both Miniminter and Vikkstar dropped their own disstracks against him. Deji dropped a second one against Simon. Also, one of the reasons JJ's disstracks were of such high quality was because he had to give his label a couple of songs under his contract, so he gave them all his disstracks, and because he isn't with them anymore, even HE uses them, he gets copyright striked. Deji also went back and forth with Randolph after this. That started when Randolph said Deji's channel was dead during a sidemen sunday video. After this Deji made a video taking shots at Randolph and because Randolph knows how to rap, he dropped a disstrack against Deji. Deji responded with one, then randolph resonded with another, and Deji responded for the last time, finishing the main era of UK disstracks (In my opinion). You reactions are jokes my guy, hopefully this helps you understand all this a bit more! :)

JJ went to stay with clout gang in LA and contemplated moving there. Randomly, unknown to the sidemen, made a video called “I’m leaving the sidemen”, in the video was in the studio rapping f the sidemen. JJ said he was leaving “mainly because of Ethan” and he couldn’t stand him…..Ethan replied, JJ replied, Harry dissed him, JJ replied, and then Ethan and Harry came back again. Harry pissed JJ off with his second diss track and that’s when it became serious😂 I was there for all ts

Simon listens to the most rap from the group. He is also good at writing clever bars. During that bad time of KZfaq rap, I thought Quad, Simon, Randy, and you (Scru) had the most potential.

This was an insane time because the Sidemen started a trend where so many big KZfaqrs were making diss tracks or parody diss tracks.

Minister has a song with big Randolph it's actually decent

simon wrote his lyrics, he just didnt try on the new song because as you saw harry and behz kinda hijacked the whole thing. hes done a bunch of short joke raps on his old Q&As

You should react to the disstracks between Randolph and Deji

Harry's 2nd Diss was so effective that KSI was legit too pissed at it to even post a reaction.

harry does justice to old school beats 5:10 bro was taken aback LMAO 7:20 he did NOT hold back 7:45 classic w2s 13:30 the change in mood is hilarious 22:55

It’s cool watching someone’s raw reaction now vs when I watched these as they came out in order. Fire react

If I didn’t witness this era of KZfaq live, I wouldn’t believe it. The lore is crazy lol

Hell yeah , love ur reactions bro, they 🔥

The reason why Ethan's second one was so well produced is because it used some of the most best grime beats in recent years.

What's more hilarious is KSI did not react to Harry's last diss track until years later and he still cut some parts and admitted the disstrack pissed him off when it came out 😂

You should react to Simons helium song with Randolph, he writes his own lyrics and could actually rap if he took it seriously

Love that it all start just cause JJ felt like causing some drama during an interview. lmao

Harry - wowowowowow factor and very digestible Simon- BARS Ethan - aesthetics, audio and visual

pretty sure Simon did rap videos/skits a loooooong time before this even started, plus he was already smart with his wordplay. He probably doesn't go 100% nowadays just to have more fun

You should watch the ksi video titled " Was the sidemen beef fake? " For the clarification of this beef

it was all fun and games till harry dropped his first one then jj responded then harry’s second one came out and took it to far so he actually took it down

This isn't even all of them, either. Close enough though to get the jist of how dope it was to be a fan of these guys in 2017.

Harry is too funny man 🤣🤣🤣

Simon wanted to go in for the Chrismtas song, but Harry was adamant on making it a joke/meme, so Simon just gave up LOL

Simon’s is more of a song but Harry’s were purely disstracks. Harry actually finished JJ with that last one & it was so harsh that later on when they were friends again Harry actually made that video private on his channel 😂

Simon wrote all his lyrics so did Harry .

Am subscribing to you 👍👍👍👏👏👏 I love sidemen and now I love you too ❤❤

You’ll understand a lot more of the bars / disses once you listen to JJs diss tracks

Simon had the best flow. Harry went full on with just shot after shot after shot, just like KSI going bump after bump after...

Jj hated Harry disstrack the most he got so angry by it he said he went to far 😂😂😂

mini just went along with the meme vibes of the recent christmas song

I swear this my birthday gift XD thx sm

Behz also lost a lot of weight around the diss track time so this isn't even him at his largest, he went crazy in the gym- major props to him

scru you need to go travel back in time to Simons old skits where he would rap, that’s what first got me into his channel.

Loved the vid. I really wanna see ur reaction to Hermione vs Katniss princess rap battle its soooo savage

You didn't let it fully play out ... 🤣🤣🤣

Best disses ever🤟🔥🔥

remember this from back in the day, ty bro for reminding me about this they had some fire beats that jme shit

Simon is Hella good. You gotta react to his other stuff with Randolph

Mini can spit but noone's hurt more than Harry's

I love how scru is getting caught up in the lore lol

JJ stated that he was kinda playing along with the distracts for views but he wasn’t able to respond to Harry’s second distrack since he was genuinely offended

Scrus getting informed on the sidemen i love it

LETSSSS GOOOOO

Scrus face to vikks intro song killed me

this was crazy bro🤐

I was really wondering when you would get to those "masterpieces" :D

I have an incredible video recommendation for you, Simon has this great series called rap or crap where he says a bar and you gotta decide if it's real or by Simon, you'll see how great of a writer Simon is and the Christmas song was a joke man it was a huge troll...

Bro all Ethan’s beats in his second song were jme and skepta’s😂 that’s why the production was “next level”

These diss tracks were no where near the same time as Deji dissing KSI with Crypt and Dax, that was about 2 years ago. The set of Sidemen diss tracks all happened in 2018 (about 4-5 years ago.)

Simon’s bethnal green line is so fire shame no one gets it

I think we should make a community about this era

10:53 LMAOOO the way he said it was too funny man unleashed his inner Mickey mouse

best time of youtube

maaaan that sidemen beef was the GOLDEN AGE of youtube

it was fake but maybe not the deji focused ones, some of the ksi vs w2s/harry got a bit real unintentionally but its just because it got a bit crazy

Yo Scru on the new Christmas song he didn't take it serious mini as you call him has other song with Randolph you should react to! love the vids btw 😊

nostalgic already

maybe the reason why he was alot better in the diss rather than the new christmas song is because it was a joke and he wasnt serious on top of that he had more time to make that rather than a few hours and he had alot of dirt on him

“I didn’t know he used to look like James Corden” has me on the floor 😂

Yoooo, I need to see your reaction to your diss against KSI from this era

Some random things about diss track era for context. This was the big change over of Harry toward being a more mature youtuber (he was only 19/20 i believe here), before this he generally had a hyper active almost child like attitude in videos, but moving forwards 2017 was when he generally became more offensive with the jokes he made, diss track era was the peak showcase of how offensive he could be. Simon is the best of the non-music people to drop a diss track because of his writing more than anything. On youtube, we have seen in old QnAs he often made jokey rap battles between him and random objects (for example an egg, himself, and air). From this we know he can be very punny, and he is very adept at wordplay. He is also probably the most quick witted of the group, which would've helped writing in a short time span like diss track era was. I believe most of the tracks in this video were made with the same music producer (his name escapes me), and they have talked about how he helped them write bits of the songs or fix up the flow. Ethans first diss track is very poor compared to his second because his first was pretty much made by himself and callux in a day. His second, he spent a whole night with the producer recording and mixing, eventually getting every iconic grime beat to be his song For viewers at the time and I assume still now, the best three diss tracks are Harry's first, Simon's and KSI's Little Boy, the order varies on who you ask but they are liked for being funny, surprising and the best actual rap respectively

Simon (miniminter) wrote it he’s actually good id listen to survive the night,animation and helium song if you wanna hear him try on the Christmas tune he was having a laugh

Got to react to Clavish when you get back on UK reactions. Guys mega underrated and on a mega run before he drops his album in January. His daily Duppy, Plugged in w/ Fumez, Mad About Bars as well as Public Figure, Rocket Science ft D Block Europe, Greece and NRF Freestyle are all worth a listen.

This was the best KZfaq era for diss tracks

the whole arc was in a vid??? good times

I might start a drinking game every time he says “this is from the era..”

You need to make sure to add Randolph in too, he and Deji went at it too

that unknown p comparison is crazy lmaoo thats exactly what it sounds like

Simon defo wrote his lyrics… he’s just a smart chavy

Ay yo Scru! Would love to see you react to Songer Blackbox Pt. 1 & 2. Probably worth doing as one video to be honest but both are great songs.

It started off with a track ksi made with a bit of a diss, but Harry's tracks went to a different level using stuff he knew which is when it blew up. You should also react to Randolph's manchild about Deji after he went in on him. It's the best one

The Deji, Randolph and KSI beef was after the Sidemen beef era. The Deji disstracks in this one that you watched was apart of the original Sidemen era which Deji dissed the sidemen (except for JJ). The one with Dax and Crypt was after the Sidemen era. Also after the Deji vs Jake Paul fight. The Sidemen disstrack beef was before any of the boxing matches. Hope this helped Scru!

What a fucking goat reaction from ya boy scru

I'm pretty sure Simon met jme before KZfaq at a rap battle in 2009-10 so he was in touch with rap before everything

Everyone on the Christmas song were joking around. They r really good at making songs. If it weren't for their decision to turn into a parody it would've been a banger (still is btw).

simons disstrack is LEGENDARY still the most viewed video on his channel lol

Simon (Miniminter) can make music but he likes to take the piss, react to Helium song - Miniminter x Randolph

Simon can rap for sure. The Christmas songs are just them messing around.

Mini snapping get me evertime

12:08 Scru… This or That was a joke 😂

You gotta listen to the helium song with Simon and Randolph. The concept is a funny idea but they go crazy on it. And you can see more of how good Simon actually is.

He should react to sidemen carpool karaoke lmaoo

16:05 rhythm n gash that tune was a banger

10:37 his facial expressions during this sequence bro

harry no give a fuck attitude is what makes him the best lol

Sidemen carpool karaoke explains it all pretty good
