-“What about a flute busting Prussian?” -Sings a verse with one of, if not the best flow and pretty good instrumentals. -Dies on his own terms. -Refuses to elaborate further.
-
"Look alive. Crème de la Kremlin's arriving. Try to serve Ivan, no surviving" You gotta admit that opening line was dope
-
- Shows up out of nowhere - Busts a KILLER flute solo - Rips into Ivan in only 12 bars - Sits down and dies on his own terms Absolutely legendary
-
I love how Alexander says “while you died in the middle of a game of Chess” and then later on, Catherine ends the rap with “Checkmate”.
-
Catherine ended her verse with Checkmate. It took me a minute to remember Alexander's first verse. "You die in the middle of a game of chess". Wow. That was clever
-
I enjoy the fact that Pompey is even an option to see who won.
-
the fact that after catherine says "i settled it" she goes to walk off and leave, but after hearing ivan bring up the saddle, she comes back to finish him off
-
Ivan's intro was solid, sad people are overlooking that. Also, Frederick's verse was impeccable, especially the flow.
-
I still listen too this solely because Fredrick The Greats verse is the funkiest thing I've ever heard.
-
I like how Pompey is on the “who won” screen as if anyone stood a chance against his skills
-
Catherine's verses are so slept on. Fredricks was great, sure, but Catherine had some of the best disses and wordplay I've ever seen out of an ERB.
-
I feel like I'm the only person in awe of the line "Hey, fella, swell diss, but now you got the Panhellenist from Pella hella pissed". So clever!
-
We just gonna ignore the fact that Alexander killed his verse
-
If ya ever feel useless, remember that Pompey the Great was in this battle just for Catherine to find a word that rhymes with 'opponents'.
-
Frederick’s entrance, the chants when his beat begins is a reference to “Old Fritz” which was a nickname the Prussian people gave him
-
Alexander’s verse still lives in my head whoever wrote that is an actual genius
-
Frederick won in twelve bars, but Pompey had the best intro Confidence is important
-
For those that didn’t know: Frederick the Great actually did die in his chair at his home. This battle has so much detail it’s incredible.
-
Did anyone else notice that when Frederick the Great finished his flute solo, he was standing on one leg? That must be a nod to Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull's lead singer and flutist!
-
I love Pompey. Even though he didn’t get the chance to spit, just judging by his energy in the two seconds he was on screen, he was about to SHRED everyone and everything.
