All fingers pointed to P. The time between the clash taking place and the DVD dropping gave a slight misrepresentation of what actually happened.

I was under the impression that H was going to spit one round and walk off, so I was delighted to see that wasn’t the case.

I’m really not going to go into every bar. I just want to make sure that the people who have watched it have the whole picture.

At the end of the day, watching the DVD makes the beats and bars very clear. What it doesn’t give is a fair representation of the crowd, from what I have heard.

Round 1:

H sets the pace with some, what I class as, real Grime clash bars: “Head Gone – Dead Song/ Clash H – Thats Long/ Wipe man out with a bomb/ Big 45 send you straight Hong Kong.” I’m not sure how you can top that, but P tried. Don’t get me wrong, I like P, but his comeback about “OGz were there!” just seemed to attempt to counter what H said, not actually go at him. H then spits a quick 8 and then stops. This is where I have heard reports of the crowd being overly loud (not sure if that’s true) but P presumes he has forgotten his bars. We will have to get a statement from H on that one. Naturally, as you would at any set, H calls Logan to pull up the beat. P exclaims that there are no reloads. Someone on the GrimeForum described P as having a “hall monitor act” throughout the show. I didn’t notice this the first time of watching but he does try to dictate what happens and is constantly talking over the mic. Jammer then agrees with P “no reloads”. If there were new rules to this LOTM, the audience should be privy to this info. The purpose of a reload is really to give the crowd a chance to settle after a big bar so that when it is dropped again, they don’t miss any of the bars proceeding. P speaks again “the drops coming up” waving his hand as if to command H to spray. H doesn’t and quite rightly too, this is a battle of both emcees, telling the other when to spit is trying to par. H responds: “na, bun that, that’s lame” – I agree.

P then chats about his tweets, please P, we all want to watch this clash and have been anticipating it for so long. We don’t want to hear you talk over, just let your bars do the talking.

H cracks on with another 8, P comes back with some basic pars about breath. Then P spits what I deemed to be one of the best bars in the clash: “I’ll kidnap Dan’s/ Chief up Boss’s/ Slap up President’s and Chief up Dreads” – that bar was delivered with perfection. He follows up with some Milli Major fat jokes and then some gas about H’s chick, didn’t sit with me.

H calls for round 2. P aint happy. Really and truly, the bars that have come out so far is some hot fire from H and a lot of average bars from P. Like I said, P had a couple of fire bars but H is on top so far.

In the words of Jammer: “It’s very, very, very, very tense up here” – the man is a word smith.

Round 2:

P is getting frustrated with H, shouting to come back from america….not sure what he means. H then goes innn. “When I pull out the AK don/ you’ll be like ‘raa, where s JJ gone?'” Woi, time for a reload, oh, wait, no reloads. (JJ is P’s DJ, FYI) H aint done with the gas: “You aint deep like I am/ To get where you are you had to eat out Sian/ Swear, Little Dee beat Sian/ Them gal are dead like princess Dian” – Now that’s gotta hurt. (Sian Anderson is a DJ, a lot of rumours were going around about her and P). It’s after this that you really see H in his element. The way his flow and energy rides the beat, it’s a deadly thing. The crowd sound like they are overly gassed. I don’t really want to quote any more of H’s bars but he has some real memorable lines. P comes back with a Skippy flow that is not really impressive. I know he is better than that. The bars are not even aimed at H. Then he does a little “that’s not me” bit and gets really hyped, but none of it is for H!

In H’s mind, he has gone in to win, best out of 3 rounds. He has just duppied P with half of the bars sprayed by his opponent. Quality, not quantity is the best way to some it up. H wants next round, P wants more bars. H then drops his German Whip bars, just to show P how much the crowd are on his side. “What kind of Lord Of The Mics is this?” asks P, “This is Lord Of The Mics live!” – Weather you want to admit it or not, H is right. The crowd have brought a new element to the clash, some good and some bad. But of what you can hear, H has the crowed levels on a million.

Round 3:

P comes in spitting about H’s car. This was inevitable, he has some decent bars. H comes back with some old bars, nothing like the levels of the last 2 rounds but decent still. P comes back with more bars about German Whips. These are significantly better than his first. “Said he had a German whip, so have I/ So how come our whips don’t look-alike?” H comes back again with some older ‘sing along’ bars, so does P, just to prove a point. He gets very angry, shouting at H “Where’s your bars for me?!” H says “I’m done, I don’t want to hear his million bars, I don’t want to hear his album. I just want to hear if he has got some fire.”

This is the point where things get a little confusing to me. Some guy comes up and tells Jammer something, P is shouting for H to put his mic down, and Jammer shouts at the crowd to shut up. Jammer is trying to control whats going on but P is goading H and just being a little petty.

H spits again. A short few bars followed by a ‘shotgun ting’ flow. After telling P: “Thats you blood.” P comes back with something that supports my earlier point. He puts so many words in two bars, I really cannot be arsed to listen intently and write them down. It would probably suit a song, but in the clash? It just sounds like wafffle. Some more German Whip bars, come on P, you have more than this. ‘Big Hooliswag’ is not the greatest insult to be honest. P continues to commentate and talk over. H comes back with his ‘H not Harry bars’ saying he is done. P money finishes the clash with yet more German Whip bars.

Clash over. Well, usually that would be the end and Jammer would come and ‘Lock Off The Ting’. For some reason Jammer comes on and asks H if he is finished. “Jammer, you need to stop that, you’re taking sides.” I have to agree with H on this. Some stuff has clearly been said between the 3 of them behind closed doors. Then things go down hill. P shouts “sour” one hundred times and then asks the emcees in the crowd that have been on LOTM to clarify how the clash goes. 3 rounds consisting of 3 32’s each. Yes, under normal circumstances that is correct. But if we go back over the 6 LOTM’s there have been plenty of clashes that have not run to this format. On top of that, it’s a new concept of LOTM anyway.

One thing you have to give to H is that he has a very high view of himself. After P asked the emcees in the crowd, H’s response was: “Those emcees aint as big as me, I don’t wanna hear from them.” “That’s why im up hear and you’re down there.”

The scene cuts and comes back. Jammer tells the crowd that P has more bars. H is done, he walks off. The rest of the viewing is a shambles to be honest. I think the only reason it was left on the DVD is due to the hype that surrounded it at the time. The whole thing about more money is just H being stupid, he shouldnt have said that. He should have approached it from a different angle or said nothing. He didn’t want more money, he just wanted to say that he had spit his 3/4 rounds and he is done. He did himself no favours.

I will admit, I think that H should have come with a couple more bars, but I know that P money has better clash bars than that so I really expected to hear better from him. P Money tried to dictate and talk over most of the clash which wasnt fair.

Overall I thought that the clash was very entertaining and is being talked about so much, with so many different views.

What do you think, am I way off? Was the King Of Scotland really that bad? Or was P not ready for the fire that H brought?

Leave your comments below and make sure you vote in the poll.

I would like to point out that I think P is a really talented emcee and I know that most people say he won. I would just like to have seen them both act like men, no shouting over each other and both come with more than enough bars.

Shouts out to Shanger from the GrimeForum.
