Epic Battles Of History
Poetry Contest Description
If y'all haven't seen the youtube videos, you might want to
So basically the person above you will pick someone from history, anyone they want and you are to write something as said person. (lets test y'alls knowledge of history lol)
The first person will be :
Billy The Kid
The first person will be :
Billy The Kid
Zinger, I like the idea of writing in 1st person as historical figures, but why does it have to be a rap battle? That really limits participation. Why not a straight up poetry battle? I'm just fucking over rap battle comps, only because the standard of the rap here in DUP falls short compared to what I've seen recently at an open mic in NYC.
If you DUP rappers want to prove me wrong, how about y'all start laying down your raps on a recording, with or without beats, and post it here in DUP to show us all your killa flow... Instead of telling us how fly your rhymes and multies are.
Good luck with the comp, h o m e s.

Ricky, just because someone writes in 1st person about vets that doesn't make them a vet. That goes for rappers rapping about being rappers. Because that's the challenge of being a creative writer, telling a story and making it real.
I believe everyone who commented on the piece you're referring to, excluding tank girl, had been in the military at some stage in their life and the reason why they commented is because they connected with the poem.
I look forward to hearing you rap.

SWEET CELSA
Adios my sweet Celsa
It’s time for me to go
Will ride together again
But not till after you’ve grown old
Amour my sweet Celsa
No tears for me will you shed
Will meet on a grand hacienda
When in heaven we are wed

Epic battles?! And then we get Billy the Kid....fucking hell.
Here are some people to look up for real epic battles...Alexander, the Spartan holding up Darius, the greeks wasting Darius at sea, Hannibal, the romans wiping hannibals arse in the end battles, the new zealand maori fucking with the English, Ajax, Genghis, the Turks versus the Anzacs (if fuck-ups count), Wellington, Nelson, even that French midget who was pretty handy with 1/2 a million men, anyone talked about in the art of war commentaries....the list goes on....Billy the Kid was a nothing, just some loser with a gun and a crew....fuckin' hell....
