Analysis

The clash between Canada's 100 Bulletz and Don't Flop's own Bamalam was a tale of two battles. For two rounds, it was a lyrical masterclass from the visitor. 100 Bulletz came with a pen game that left the UK crowd in awe, dropping incredibly dense schemes, culminating in a second-round football scheme that's still regarded as one of the best ever written. It looked like a clear bodybag was in the works.

Then, the third round happened. The momentum shifted entirely when Bulletz stumbled and choked, a fatal error in a high-stakes performance. Bamalam, who had been putting up a solid, angle-driven fight, seized the moment not with a haymaker bar, but with a cold, dismissive shutdown—'Don't really care to be honest'—that became an iconic moment in battle rap history.

That line, coupled with Bulletz's choke, was enough to sway the battle. While Bamalam got the W on the day, the debate rages on, with many fans arguing that Bulletz's first two rounds were so transcendent that they outweighed the third-round stumble, cementing this as a controversial classic.
