Rap Battle

Rap. That strange genre of rhyme without reason, meter without melody, and peculiarly unpoetic poetry. Its supporters consider it the Übermensch of the lyric, and its critics consider it sub-musical. Regardless its musicality, however, it has become one of the most popular genres in the last thirty years, reaching a pedestal of profanity far above most other genres. This being the case, we decided to include a rap in We Lost The Musical, for the sake of all you hip-hoppers out there.

But this is no ordinary rap. This is a Rap Battle. Not only that, but the participants are none other than Sawyer, an auto-tuning country singer, and Ben Linus, a bell-bottomed disco star. And neither of them are black.


What.


Of course this seemed like an awesome idea at the time. And of course, now the musical is completely written  -- except for the rap. No surprises there.

This might be the biggest challenge of the whole musical: two extremely indie, somewhat nerdy white boys attempting to write a rap.

Time to get rhyming.
