Don’t Flop hosted a battle between Quill and Harry Baker in a gaming bars only battler. The title pretty much explains itself.
This was my first Don’t Flop video that I had seen Harry Baker and Quill in. I didn’t know about Harry or Quill before this battle. I soon got a taste of what style the battlers come with respectively.
Both battlers brought their own unique flow to the showdown as they referenced current and old school games ranging from Sims all the way to Space Invaders. Harry Also referenced himself in the battle addressing the fact that he is also a poet and a published author.
On a side note his book entitled ‘The Sunshine Kid’ is very cleverly written, with a mixture or haikus, poems, and a bit of rap. The book also draws great imagery for the reader. I would never have come across this book if it wasn’t for this battle.
Back to the battle, the bars that both Quill and Harry came with drew positive reactions from the crowd, even though it was just one round each it was a perfect. As most of Don’t Flop battles are two battles aiming to out perform the other with punchlines, schemes and rebuttals. Don’t get me wrong I love those kind of battles as well but, it was nice to see a different type of battle as Harry and Quill weren't taking the battle too seriously and were just having fun.
My favourite bar from Quill was, ‘I’m here to try angles (triangles)…..That’s Lara Croft boobies.’ as well as his verse where he describes making Don’t Flop on sims and creating, Tony D, Lunar C, Shotty Horroh and even Erugh.
Also a honourable mention the lines where Quill explains that when it comes to Pokemon games you are only certified if its Red, Blue or Yellow. Which is true, I will hold my hands up the first Pokemon game I played was Pokemon Crystal……. I know utter sin.Should of started with the original three.
A couple of my favourite bars from Harry was, when he started off his turn saying that he played Dance Mat with Shotty Horroh, and tweaking Shotty’s intro to fit in with his verse. Explaining that he didn’t expect him to show up, but they didn't have that much to talk about but when the screen showed up they had a showdown for all of the crowd. Which was met with many laughs from the crowd.
My favourite bar of his was when he told Quill he was going to be his own personal Space Invader while stepping close to him.
It was a good thing this was an un judged battle as for me it would of been really hard to decide who would of won. Maybe in the future Don’t Flop could do another gaming bars only battle and have a winner be decided at the end of it, as it would not only be great to see what bars and games the battlers come with but it would add a bit of competition to the battle.
