judging from the audio up at red bull channel one was a deserved winner.
metalheadz were a lot better last time around imo,jus' cheezy dropping skream and benga tracks when clashing against them.
skream and benga could have done better...so could souljazz
would be interesting to see some hyperdub related crew clashing next time...kode 9, ld, kevin martin would provide interesting selection

Very split loyalties last night as a big fan of both dnb and dubstep. There was a lot of love and respect to the Channel One originators, and Soul Jazz weren’t really in it so the beef and the hype was all for Metalheadz vs Skream & Benga.
Right from the warm-up round both soundsystems were bringing out the big tunes and both crews rolling deep. Goldie, Storm, Andy C, Shy FX, GQ, Justyce, MC Rage and Stamina were shaking the Metalheadz stage, whilst Skream, Benga, Artwork, Joker, Chefal, MC Nomad and Sgt Pokes were holding it down for the dubstep heads.
With multiple b2bs in the first round, the dubstep did seem to get the crowd more hyped despite some classic Metalheadz vibes from Goldie and Storm. But when Andy C steps up and drops Messiah the fight is really on. There was plenty of smack talk between GQ and Pokes throughout but the highlight of the night was Shy FX killing it with these dubplates! The whole crowd dissolved into insanity, brocking out, cheering Shy, “oooooohh“‘s towards the quiet, empty dubstep stage…
Despite all this, it was the flag-waving, brass-toting, Rastafari Channel One who were crowned eventual winners. Respect to the old school dub riddims, but I think it is Metalheadz will be remembered for these badbwoy battle tactics!
Thanks RBMA for permit to record the whole night SKREAM & BENGA i love you only the perpetual MC war from GQ against Nomad and Pokes was embarrassing.
In my opinion Metalheadz won only the Mixed-Up Styles against our Dubstep KINGS !
CHEERS

lol @ SOUL JAZZ how can they play such a weak selection when they should have tons of custom dubplates for sound clashes.
probably my first RBMA I'm listening, but coming from Dancehall & Reggae this is really weak...there's so much more potential, where are the interesting speeches?

listening back to all these rounds... how did skream and benga not win... the selection round with the coki bits made me go mentalllllll. i was on stage for the entire final round acting like a damn fool off the free red stripe and i got nuff respect for the whole dubstep crew there on the night. large up pokes each and every
respect to the other crews but the future sound belongs to the dubstep

Listening now to round two.
Metalheadz does sound like a 'best jungle/dnb album ever' CD - circles, helicopter, pulp fiction, terrorist, bambaata, original nutta. i mean, come on, that's a tricky play list. Channel one seem quite clear at this stage.
