REFEREE/ANNOUNCER
(Center stage, speaking to the audience.)
Are you ready for the rap battle regional championships!!!
Today we have Mickey Mulhaland, vs MC Steve.
Round starts with Mickey Mulhaland: ready, set, rap!
They stand back so they are center stage between the two, and are also behind them to not steal the show.
MICKEY MULHALAND
(Standing stage left, facing MC STEVE)
You're cheap plastic, I'm 24 karat,
I'm too dang handsome, it's my cross, I bear it,
I fight dirty, I'll win at any cost,
And once I started spitting, you already lost!
MC STEVE
(standing stage right, facing MICKEY MULHALAND, talking with the utmost confidence as if he wasn't dissing himself.)
Okay fool, I'm MC Steve,
That name sounds boring and naive,
You think you'll win with trickery?
Okay! But first, put me out of my misery.
MICKEY MULHALAND
(Harsh whisper, leaning over towards MC STEVE)
Uh...dude, you just dissed yourself! Are you even taking this seriously?
MC STEVE
I'm so sorry, i promise i'm taking this seriously, just sniff I kinda been through some stuff man,
and I think it may have messed up my self esteem and...
MICKEY MULHALAND
Ok Ok just- keep it together.
MC STEVE
I'll try!
MICKEY MULHALAND
I am like a mountain, my rhymes are peak,
Your rhymes can only be described as weak,
(MC STEVE starts to cry when he is dissed, and MICKEY MULHALAND looks at him kinda panicked)
I've got all the ladies, you can call me cupid,
When it comes to intelligence, you seem pretty...Okay.
(Harsh whisper, leaning over towards MC STEVE)
Say not sad things
MC STEVE
(Sounds confident when saying positive lines, sounds sad when saying the sad second half of the line/sad lines.)
You can say I'm really chillaxed
Because im really tired
You could say that I'm on fire
Because I got fired
I accidentally fried google's servers with my tears
Now I'll be crying for several more years
MICKEY MULHALAND
DUDE!
MC STEVE
(crying)
I'm so sorry sob I'm ruining everything sniff I'll just get all my raps out of the way right now so you can win your trophy-
MICKEY MULHALAND
NOO!
MC STEVE
(Interrupting MICKEY)
When I became a rapper, I asked my wife to endorse me-
Instead she served me papers and tried to divorce me.
If I said i'm fine i'd be a liar,
Today my pet dog caught on fire,
My confidence is sinking like the titanic,
My eyes are sparkling with tears of panic,
I told this to my therapist on the phone,
He hung up on me after saying "get a backbone,"
My parents told me that my future's shut
And on top of all of that I have a paper cut
(MC STEVE breaks down crying)
REFEREE/ANNOUNCER
Ok, I think we have a distinct winner here-
(Holding up MICKEY'S hand)
MICKEY MULHALAND
(Let goes of the REFEREE/ANNOUNCER'S hand)
Hold on, wait. Sigh I have to do this.
(Walks up to MC STEVE)
MC Steve, I know you're feeling down,
But you've got to get your feet back on the ground,
You took a chance to do something you love,
You're part of the legacy of the rappers up above,
I know you're suffering from all the haters
But you'll be back like Arnold Schwarzenegger
If you can get through this you'll be a star
So go ahead, show us your stuff, drop some bars
MC STEVE
(In a much better/more hopeful mood)
Mickey you've given me a new attitude
And for that I'm full of so much gratitude
I've gotta say Mulhuland, I think you're really great!
MICKEY MULHALAND
(Hopping onto the other's line)
Yeah same dog, I think you'd make a great mate!
MC STEVE
As cool as ice-
MICKEY MULHALAND
As fly as a starship-
MC STEVE & MICKEY MULHALAND
(At the same time)
This is the start of a legendary friendship!
(They dap each other up; short pause for cheers)
REFEREE/ANNOUNCER
(Walks in between MICKEY and STEVE, serious face/tone)
Well. I still don't change my previous statement that it's obvious who should win this competition.
(Holding up both MICKEY'S and STEVE'S arm in victory)
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing our first two-split winners of the rap battle regional championships!!!
