Contest Description
I've extended the time period of this competition as there's only 19 entrants so far. New deadline 20/06/2018 (or for dyslexic/Americans ((who think months come before days)) lol 06/20/2018.
This is an "8 Mile" style hip hop/rap based poetry contest, where I want you imagine you have an oppenent (so it's like the film) and write a witty, rhyming and amusing rhyme about your imaginary oppenent and why you are better and/or why they are rubbish. You can imagine someone or maybe you want to say a few things to me (you wont be the first), to which case you will get a reply rhyme from me after the competition has been finaziled. The only important points are that you 1. layout the rhyme like my "Big Ego, It's Two Days After Thursday, Humble Thunder or The Trim Shady Show" poems, so the rhymes are easier to make out and please put in the title "Battle Rap" so I avoid reading any entries.
