The 2016 Red Bull Culture Clash was quite possible the rowdiest yet. In the end, Dre Skull's Mixpak team — including Popcaan and Spice — was crowned victorious, but it was a close race. This year's soundclash saw Mixpak go head to head with Taylor Gang, Eskimo Dance (a.k.a. Wiley and a slew of grime's major players), and UKG Allstars. There were appearances from Stormzy, Lethal Bizzle, Joey Bada$$, and Flirta D, and dubs for days. Here's a quick recap of the night's biggest highlights.

1. This Stormzy move.
2. East end actor Danny Dyer had the best cameo of the night when he delivered a soap opera-referencing intro for the UKG Allstars.
3. ...Until Amber Rose introduced Taylor Gang with some choice words for Wiley.
4. DJ Khaled also showed up on the big screen.
6. And Big Narstie donned dreads for his live appearance with the Mixpak crew.
7. But nothing was as unexpected as Taylor Gang bringing out the elusive grime MC Ice Kid.
8. Meanwhile, it was Popcaan's debut U.K. performance, and he wore an England soccer jersey to celebrate. ❤️
8. Stormzy got to spit don't make man go back to Culture Clash, actually at Culture Clash.
9. And weirdly enough, so did Ty Dolla $ign, when he dropped his own cover of "Shut Up."
10. This Wiz Khalifa move.
11. Some words of war were exchanged.
12. In the end, Mixpak sealed their win by drawing for this Drake dub.
13. And of course: someone brought their toothbrush.
