<title>Vi vs Geo Round 1 Feverish Rap Battle Tournament</title>
<link>http://www.debate.org/debates/Vi-vs-Geo-Round-1-Feverish-Rap-Battle-Tournament/1/</link>
<description>(Voting Period) Round One

Check it, my flow be flawless
For Diamonds rain without rest
This is why they call me Neptune
My beat stellar, yours a mess
Introductions aren't required
For Geo has found me out
Galileo-scoped my route
Now he believes, with no doubt
I'm the puppeteer, you see
Swing the threads of string theory
Rhymes so gravitational
my big bang makes them chicks weary
Check this vibrational
Your big clang not for the hearing
Slow like black holes, flow don't end
This can't be natural, let's not pretend
Do they like you where you're from?
The the real world don't want them some
If you're happening in Vegas 
Then you better stay there, Son
I'm so killah', I'm so smooth
Operator here to seduce
You're so wack your trippin' face
You just can't keep with ma' pace 
Geo, see - you know the deal
Clown sees aliens - for real
They said take me to your leader
So he took them straight to me, here

<title>Video Rap Battle: My Ex Is Worse Than Yours</title>
<link>http://www.debate.org/debates/Video-Rap-Battle-My-Ex-Is-Worse-Than-Yours/1/</link>
<description>(Post Voting Period) I've avoided debating my esteemed opponent for over a year now. Finally the time has come to experience our first ever (completed) debate against each other with a most interesting and entertaining topic: A video rap battle distinguishing whose ex-girlfriend is truly the more evil and/or deranged. The parameters for the debate will be as follows: 

1. Each rap verse will be no more than 50 lines long
2. My opponent will post a brief introduction, and I will begin the rap battle in R2
3. There will be 2 video verses each to be posted in Rounds 2 and 3
4. Round 4 will contain the lyrics we both used in our rap

I'd like to wish my lovely girlfriend good luck, and may the one with the most lyrical soul win ; )</description>

<description>(Post Voting Period) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_Zz2pVFHvI
[Non-rapping intro]
Eyo this is the omelet
Taking on this bitch philosphical
I'ma run you into the ground.
ey man - you spelled your name wrong
Or maybe you just meant to sound like a bit**

[begin rapping]
I'ma spit it right at you, I ain't holding nothing back
We'll soon find that the skills to beat me all of them you lack
The only way you stand a chance is if you make a devlish pact
Negotiation that's required though, you'd handle without tact

Doubtful that you would though since your God you think it might offend
So just get down on your knees and ask him for a painless end
You're foolish, think that all you need to win is think you can
See how far that gets you in the real world, I don't think you'll win

Omelet - you can eat me, but just know that I am toxic, son
Spittin out hot sh**, like attilla the hun
I know you won't defeat me even though the battle's just begun
&quot;You can do anything yo</description>

<title>Resolved: In a fight without prior preparation, Batman would certainly defeat Spider-Man.</title>
<link>http://www.debate.org/debates/Resolved-In-a-fight-without-prior-preparation-Batman-would-certainly-defeat-Spider-Man./2/</link>
<description>(Post Voting Period) If Batman and Spider-Man were to fight, Spider-Man would beat the living daylights out of Batman.

First, Spider-Man has superhuman abilities. Batman is an Olympic level human in terms of physical attributes. Clearly, Spider-Man is superior in this regard.

Second, Spider-Man has the advantage in terms of intellect. Whereas Batman abuses his billions of dollars to buy fancy gadgets, Spider-Man actually creates his sophisticated devices (while using an extremely limited amount of resources) whenever he needs them. He is also well known for coming up with advanced battle strategies on the spot. In fact, due to his intelligence, Spider-Man was able to defeat the villain known as Fire Lord (a villain almost as powerful as Silver Surfer) in Amazing Spider-Man issues 269-270 without needing a rematch.

Third, although Batman knows plenty of martial arts, Spider-Man has managed to develop his own unique fighting style that even Captain America (who is regarded a</description>

<link>http://www.debate.org/debates/The-new-era-of-Rap-Battle-Video-Rap-Battle/1/</link>
<description>(Post Voting Period) As the resolution states. This is a rap battle like all the others, BUT...
this one is with VIDEO!!!!!111!!1! (That's a meme, don't you count it against my spelling and grammar)

The rules are simple: 
1) Video only, no text or comment posting
2) Video must last at least 2 minutes, but need not last any more than 4

Steps:
1) Record yourself rapping. 
2) Upload it to youtube.
3) Post the link in your argument.

Judging is easy:
Change the voting collumns like so:

Conduct --------------&gt; Audio Quality
Spelling/Grammar ---&gt; Disses
Arguments ------------&gt; Actual Quality of Lyrics
Sources ----------------&gt; Rhythm and Flow

Video/Audio battles let you analyze more of the rap, so I hope you all vote, and &quot;like&quot; the debate</description>

<title>Rap Battle 2: Lwerd vs. Vi</title>
<link>http://www.debate.org/debates/Rap-Battle-2-Lwerd-vs.-Vi/1/</link>
<description>(Post Voting Period) == Intro == 

Welcome to Battle 2 (which is really my first) with my wonderful opponent, Vi_Veri. I'd like to thank her for accepting this challenge and joining me in battle, as well as feverish for hosting this tournament and Mangani for judging. Also, thanks to everyone else who's participating -- can't wait to face you all -- and to those cool enough to respond with positive feedback and constructive criticism. 

== Auxiliary Issues == 

1. I'm aware that this is more of a rap than a battle. I did that intentionally. 

2. I would have recorded this with a webcam so I could have done something interesting with the presentation, but unfortunately my mic sucks. I downloaded this program to help with sound quality but I know it's not the best anyway. Besides, Philosophical's R1 presentation in his battle with Omelet was too much for me to handle... I don't know if I could be that cool! 

3. Lol @ the random Biggie interjection in the song &lt;3

<title>Feverish VRB Tourney Round 2: Geo vs. snelld</title>
<link>http://www.debate.org/debates/Feverish-VRB-Tourney-Round-2-Geo-vs.-snelld/1/</link>
<description>(Voting Period) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR7j2UJVJOY

Here's my verse for Round 2 against snelld and good luck to my opponent. 

Note: This is a 2 round rap battle with an extra round for my opponent to post lyrics or for either of us to buy more time, just to make sure that each person gets their two turns in case something comes up.

(I recorded this verse using my Droid Eris, so the quality isn't spectacular, but fairly decent. Pauses are intentional.)

Lyrics:

Yo, it's the Holofractalist back in this
You need some practice, you wack as sh1t
I'm slapping you up, don't hold back on me kid
Tired of this pitiful rhyme standard
I'm bringing cyclical rhyme patterns
Runnin circles around you like the ring around Saturn
In less than an hour, I devour you cowards
Absorb all your power, delicate like a flower
Corrode your body like an acid rain shower
Time to switch up the pace, I don't care about your race
I'm all about smashin in your face with an antiqu</description>

No getting anal over definitions of chicken and egg, and this applies only to the folowing classic problem:

And also, we're talking sctrictly non-religious.
