I thought this day would never come honestly. But it did! So we're dealing with it. 😁 I kid! I kid!

Figured I make this fun post just for you guys (and gals, of course, don't get mad at me it's just an expression!). This is my first actual blog on this platform so I hope you enjoy! 👏

This blog concerns the video above and the absolute @$$ whooping I gave to some wannabe rappers. Yes! I rap! More specifically freestyle rap.

What's freestyle rapping? It is when you spit bars off the top of the dome, yo. Or, in layman's terms, you figure out what to say on the spot. No written texts, no premeditation. Well, maybe a little premeditation. 😁

Of course, there are categories where there are writtens allowed (that's slang for written text) but that's not what I'm showing here. This is your good ol' fashioned rap battle. Oh, I forgot.

What's a rap battle? A rap battle is when two people try to degrade the other in the most humiliating way imaginable. All while propping yourself up, and while rapping decently.

You also have to freestyle off the top of the dome, yo. Now did people 'cheat' and bring their writtens to the event? Of course. Even I had some punchlines locked and loaded but trust me when I say this event was as legit as these things go.

It's a battle of wits, and your boy is quite witty.

So yes, I am primarily a freestyle, battle rapper. This event was hosted and judged by the who's who in the freestyle rap community. Naturally, my friends urged me to participate, and I did. But it wasn't all Gucci from the start.

I actually had an 8-mile moment in the bathroom. Without the throwing up part.

My anxiety was through the roof and I had to sprinkle some water on my face or risk puking my mom's spaghetti everywhere. I was so nervous. But, it all calmed down once I signed up and was ready to battle.

Well if you weren't pressing so much I'd tell ya, jeez.

Here's where it all gets super interesting. Three of the contestants were in a rap group that is semi-popular over here (this takes place in Skopje, Macedonia). On top of that, the host was the brother of one of these guys, one of the judges was their manager, and the DJ was their DJ. So ye, naturally they thought they would just walk in here and take the first-place prize.

The prize in question was nothing major. 100$ + some promotion and some vouchers. But if you're a competitor of any sort you'd know it's more of a pride thing. And prideful I sometimes am, especially when it concerns battle rapping.

We were 10 competitors, everyone had an introductory portion where they just freestyle off whatever. Out of those 10, 8 would move on to battle.

Naturally, I crushed it and moved on to crush my first opponent. These early rounds were not recorded. Or if they were they did not add them in the video.

The final 4 were me and the 3 dudes I mentioned above. 😁 And actually, the guy I battled in the semi-finals I've battled against on multiple occasions in the past. We were always kinda evenly matched. But I kept improving over the years and he just kinda stagnated. So when it came time for this event I absolutely wrecked him.

Our battle starts at 3.57 and I'm the guy on the right with the dope jacket and hoodie.

For those interested the final round starts around 7.17. And I go first.

The guy I'm battling was a little douche all throughout the competition, and I wanted to wreck his little face. I was so glad when he was my opponent in the finals. 😇

So I go first, then he goes second. Then we switch the beat, he goes first, and I finish. My first round was decent, nothing major but certainly competitive. He comes in and just starts roasting me. Specifically my eyes, and how I am cross-eyed.

For those that don't know, your boy is actually clinically blind. I have Glaucoma, which means I see very badly from only one portion of my eyes. Regardless, I get cross-eyed whenever there's a camera around. I have no idea why. This has frustrated me my entire life but that's neither here nor there.

This guy thought he was smart dissing my eyes, but he actually fell into the most obvious trap. Here's the thing. He spent all that time dissing my eyes, that all I had to do was near the end of my part mention how he'd lose this battle to a blind guy. I actually planned on continuing to rap after that but the crowd rushed the performing area and forced me to stop. 😂

Naturally, after a reaction like that, I won! In rap battles, the crowd decides the winner. Sort of like ancient Roman gladiators. But with mics and bars. 😎 Now, this event had judges, but they follow the crowd's lead at the end of the day.

One of the judges was the most famous freestyle in my country. And when he hugged me to congratulate me he told me that the entire thing was rigged against me. But the guys didn't know who was showing up that night. 😂

Needless to say, I will remember this night for the rest of my life. Everyone was just so happy, that's the main thing I'll remember.

I hope you guys enjoyed this little write-up. It's for you after all. ❤️
