Unwritten Rules of Rap Battles

There have been many cases in which I've encountered a rap battle and if there's any body that should know about it it would be me. Rap battling is a form of dissing and making fun of that requires lots of mental skill. There's probably never going to be a time where you use the form of rap battling but just in case, here's the unwritten rules of rap battling.

Rule 1. Never say something that insults the opponent's momma because he or she is most  likely going to fist fight you.

Take your rhymes to the point where you begin to tic the person off. Don't continuously insult your opponent, just try to squeeze in a few rhymes about how cool you are. Basically stall for whenever you need a good insult you use it. If you bring up family on the other hand, best believe that you are going to get yourself in a fist fight. So remember stall with a few verses and them hit him or her with an insult not too occasionally. And DON'T bring in family

Rule 2. If your rhymes sound good but don't make sense you probably still have a chance due to your flow.

Flow is critical at points. Making sure your rhymes don't sound like a 2 Chainz song is the best way to go. And trust me don't make up any Dr. Seuss rhymes. Sound as intelligent as possible, and expand your vocabulary a bit. If your rhymes sound like "caca" you should just probably walk away as soon as possible. Be sure to sound good and look good because your opponent is going to make the mistake of insulting your style. Why is this bad? Well, if you insult someones sense of style you basically leave yourself vulnerable to any mockery of any kind. And that is not where you want to be.

Rule 3. Last but not least, the golden rule. Know when to stop.

If you've insulted your opponent for quite sometime, most likely, you're going to take the fight to a whole new perspective which is known as the personal stage. This is where all the family talk and bad insults never end so learn how to manage your temper and stop when you know it's time.

So remember, Don't go in the "personal stage" and learn how to back off. Lay back on too many insults and keep it calm. Don't talk about style cause your opponent will embarrass you. And last but not least, keep your rhymes clean and sounding nice.
