Top 9 Most Seriously Serious Rap Battles

Well hello...this is what happens when Dumbfounder and myself get bored. We judge stuff and tell you about it here. Click through this Searchles TV channel to take the heart-pounding rap battle ride of your Tuesday morning.




1. Drillbit Taylor...I didn't see it. I don't plan on seeing it. But I think it's just precious the self-esteem a well-executed rap battle can give a highschooler and also when the kiddies born well after his death bust out with a "keep walking, I don't want to get shot like Tupac."

2. Top That...Teen Witch. Of all the questions I have of how this scene came to be - you know...the meeting the writers had that really locked it down as a "good idea", the choreography, etc - all I can actually wonder out loud is why Rhet is wearing a belly-shirt.

3. Extreme close-ups. I gotta give these guys some credit - their hearts were in it.

4. Sister Act 2. The Disney version of a "tough" schoolyard. Even if it's before Lauryn Hill got a case of the crazies...Whoopi still trumps all.

5. Scary Movie 3. Actually supposed to be a spoof which should have disqualified it from this list, but I have a soft spot for Fat Joe.

6. Ninja Turtles...Ninja Rap. Not an actual rap battle but Vanilla Ice is rapping and the Turtles are battling some belching, well-costumed miscreants. Plus this is the closest youtube comes thus far to a Vanilla Ice rap battle.

7. Again, self-esteem building through rap battling warms our hearts.

8. South Park. You Got Served dance-off. Okay so it's a dance-off. This is as close as mountaintown Colorado will get to a rap battle. You know they may not even be called rap battles in places where rap battles actually take place - that's how un-hip to rap battles I really am.

9. And the movie that gave us chills, brought forth an unlikely American hero, and taught us all to lose ourselves in the moment.

So what did we learn here today? That if I'm flipping through tv channels and see Sister Act 2 or Hannah Montana, I always stop and watch...and that you can create your very own Searchles TV channel @ here if you think you can Top That.
