Jefferson Price vs Caustic








Jefferson Price vs Caustic has to be without a shadow of a doubt one of the most face covering, cringe watch, have to watch it again to believe it battles I have ever watched on Youtube the second for me that comes remotely close on Don’t Flop is Unanymous vs Villun.


Where Villun mentions Unan’s mum’s drug addiction. I will mention that in another post. Back to the matter at hand.

This battle took place on Don’t Flop’s 4th Birthday, in which we saw Jefferson Price  face off against American battle Caustic. Now Before hearing about this battle I had never heard of either battler so was an interesting battle to watch. I had heard it referenced as I later found out after watching this battle the first time that another Don’t Flop battler called Soul, after the battle jumped on stage and punched Caustic before receiving a 5 month ban from Don’t Flop as a result.


Jefferson Price kicked off the battle, his first round was about how Caustic apparently never really takes battles that were a challenge but, Jeff was going to make sure to give him a challenge. This  would mark Caustic’s second appearance in Don’t Flop.  In his opening Jeff addressed that he was excited to finally be given and international appearance with a 7-7 record in Don’t Flop he felt it was about time to be given one.


He then thrown a little personal ball into play, talking about how Hockey (what they American’s called Field Hockey) and how both the sport and Caustic are played by women. 
He then mentioned that he has better stage presence and rhyme schemes than Caustic. In summary Jefferson Price’s round were comedic and full of nice and funny punchlines.


Caustic started off his first round similar to Price in comedy lines along with jokey punchlines for example mentioning that Jeff’s girl i fat and that whenever Price has sex with her his dick keeps sliding out. Then went on to compare his girl to the American White house by saying that she doesn’t have a bush but theres a black guy in there now. Which I thought was a pretty hilarious comparison but kinda peak on Jeff.

He then compared Price’s girl’s vagina being as deep compared to a female battle rapper on Don’t Flop called Deekay, who does indeed have quite a deep voice for a female.


In Jeff’s second round he rebutted how Caustic referred to his girl’s vagina as a white house and how just because America finally voted  in a black president (Obama) that they have reached the 21st Century and are now forward thinking in terms of race& politics, Jeff mentioned how the UK had Margret Thatcher as a Prime Minister and she was of a posh background, was fat and was a woman, now that is forward thinking as now the UK have more woman fighting to be Prime Minister where compared to America still have a majority of Men campaigning to be President.



Caustic’s second round I felt wasn’t as strong a Jefferson Price’s as it was pretty much the same as his first round, he mentioned his girl again but then talked about  had good jokes and nice punchlines, but was weak compared to his first round. What stood out for me the most was when he mentioned how Price paid for Caustic’s flight as Jeff thought it would be a way to gain more views if he flew out an international opponent, it seemed that Caustic thought this was a lame attempt to show that someone is a top tier battler. Another that has sprung to mind was how Caustic addressed how even though another US battle rapper Soul Khan helped Price write for this Jeff will always be shit in Caustic’s eyes and that’s what happens when you rely on a jew to give you a better price, I thought that was pretty clever a bit deep on Jewish people who are viewed as very tight with money.

*Now the third round is where shit hits the fan, and the rap battle world blew up.*


What’s bad about this was I can’t even remember Jefferson Price’s third round as the bomb that Caustic dropped just stole the whole third round and battle. I had to youtube the battle to try and remember if there was anything that stood out for me in Price’s third. Price mentioned  how Caustic is known for destroying rappers and outdoing them, linking back to his first round about how he will be a challenge for Caustic. If only Jeff knew that this was just the calming before the storm.


Now it was time for Caustic’s last round AKA The shit storm.  He started off by saying how someone has told Jeff what Caustic’s third round was going to be, so Jeff has called price up and begged him not to use the material he planned on using in his third round, but during the battle he thought screw it as he wasn’t going to change the kind of rapper he is. He said that he may have talked to Daniel Stefani yesterday (Caustic’s real name) but now he is dealing with Caustic referring to Caustic is his stage name so completely different person.


He then went and dropped the pipe bomb. About how Jefferson Price has cheated on his girl with two other girls respectively and now he will have to live with the guilt of having cheated, as soon as he dropped that you could see Jeff’s body language and facial expression changed as he had just been exposed, he went from a facial expression of enjoyment to that of a mixture of embarrassment and guilt and I'm not quite sure if it was the lighting in the building or on the camera but I’m sure he went even whiter.

He concluded his final round saying the thing he has learnt from being in the UK is never say you're rhymes to Mickey Worthless,  Saying that Mickey was the one who told Price about Caustic’s their round angle, then went on to say that Price has had sex with random strippers and the one thing you can’t do is put a price on love.


In conclusion to this battle. For those who have watched the battle before and knew what the aftermath was Jefferson Price retired from battle rap, as mentioned before Soul punched Caustic after the battle and got banned for 5 months, Caustic I would like to say body bagged  Price but that wouldn’t be the word he “killed” Jefferson Price.

on verse tracker the IMDB version for battle rappers it says under achievements and awards that Caustic got the award in 2013 for bodybag of the year against Price.



He then battled Soul two years later at Don’t Flop’s 7th Birthday and beat Soul 3-0 due to Soul’s major second round choke and was unable to produce a strong third round. Everyone jokingly expected Jefferson Price to make a surprise appearance in Soul’s second round, sadly this didn’t happen.
