A rap battle, also known as an MC battle, is a set up competition commonly held in leagues such as King of the Dot and Ultimate Rap League, in which two rappers either improvise lyrics or have written lyrics to insult the other rapper.

Style and performance

Rap battles includes a lot of braggadocio (bragging and boasting) content "combined with put-downs, insults, and disses. Battle raps are often written solely for the purpose of impressing people with technically inventive rapping, and knowing a wide variety of rapping styles and a wide range of MCs is recommended. Some MCs started out writing mostly battle raps and battling other MCs before they began making records.

History

Battling is generally believed to have originated in the East Coast hip hop scene in the late 1970sTemplate:Citation needed. One of the earliest and most famous battles was in December 1982 when Kool Moe Dee challenged Busy Bee Starski - Busy Bee Starski's defeat by the more complex raps of Kool Moe Dee meant that "no longer was an MC just a crowd-pleasing comedian with a slick tongue; he was a commentator and a storyteller", which KRS-One also credits as creating a shift in rapping in the documentary Beef.

In the 1980s, battle raps were a popular form of rapping - Big Daddy Kane in the book How to Rap says, "as an MC from the '80s, really your mentality is battle format... your focus was to have a hot rhyme in case you gotta battle someone... not really making a rhyme for a song". Battle rapping is still sometimes closely associated with old school hip-hop - talking about battle rapping, Esoteric says, "a lot of my stuff stems from old school hip-hop, braggadocio ethic".

Some of the most prominent battle raps that took place on record are listed in the book, ego trip's Book of Rap Lists, and include such battles as the Roxanne Wars (1984–1985), Juice Crew vs. Boogie Down Productions (1986–1988), Kool Moe Dee vs. LL Cool J (1987–1991), MC Serch vs. MC Hammer (1989–1994), Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg vs. Luke (1992–1993), Common vs. Ice Cube (1994–1996), and LL Cool J vs. Canibus (1997–1998) - all of which include memorable battle rap verse.

In 1998, Robo Rob creates the first freestyle and text battle website known as Ell Oh Crew. The following year EOC battlers Axe and Fam Nice branched out to create the modern battle league format. New Jerusalem was the first full fledged battle rap website and resulted in what was the best looking and most modern hip hop website of the early 21st century. Unlike EOC, New Jerusalem (later known as Sacred Society) had interviews, hip hop news, a poets corner, and tournaments with rookie and pro levels. The top ten battlers of New Jeru/Sacred were also ranked every month and the top spot was known as the Supreme Lyricist. However, the award most highly sought out by battlers was the Esco Award for the emcee with the grimiest, darkest content and style.

Mickey Factz started his career in Sacred Society Battle League and has also coordinated and hosted many Ultimate Rap League (Smack/URL) events.
