Rap Battle Sayings

#1. I moved to New York - I attended NYU, did a BFA in Acting at NYU. I was really into hip-hop, so I started battling, like '8 Mile.' I used to rap battle.

#2. I got into music via the competitions; the first time I ever performed was in a kind of rap battle, competing for money.

Doc Brown

#3. I might not have a boyfriend, but I have cupcakes, an those tasty bastards haven't let me down yet.

#4. Being a man is the continuing battle for one's life. One loses a bit of manhood with every stale compromise to the authority of any power in which one does not believe.

H. Rap Brown

#5. The French are so into themselves that they don't even notice you.

Bono

#6. Baseball is the greatest thing in the world.

James Gray

#7. The 808 kick drum makes the girlies get dumb,
We're rollin' Rainier, and the jealous wanna get some.
Every time we do the sucka MC's wanna battle,
I'm the man they love to hate, the J.R. Ewing of Seattle ...

Sir Mix-a-Lot

#8. "Ice" came in when my friends would say "cold as ice" - if you could rap and battle people you'd say "Dude, that was ice cold." It had nothing to do with jewelry. Back then, it was like "Your cold, dawg." "Vanilla Ice - that's cold."

#9. If you only live to be 100 than I want to live to be 100 minus one day so I never have to live without you...from whinnie the pooh

#11. There is an old maxim that says that two empires that are too large will collapse. The analog in set theory is that two different theories that are too powerful must necessarily contradict each other.

#12. Cultivate these, then, for they are wholly within your power: sincerity and dignity; industriousness; and sobriety. Avoid grumbling, be frugal, considerate, and frank; be temperate in manner and speech; carry yourself with authority.

Marcus Aurelius

#13. MC's they retreat cause they know I can beat 'em,
And eat 'em in a battle and the ref won't cheat 'em.
I'm the best takin' out all rookies,
So forget Oreos ... eat Cool J cookies.

LL Cool J

#14. Heathens are unredeemed outcasts from heaven who roam the planet without hope of surviving the deaths of their bodies. They may have values, but they are not secured by any divine source. Yet we embrace this because we think it represents the truth.

Julian Baggini

#15. I remember when I fell from my first bike:
There were no 'Are you okays?' and rarely 'Are you alrights?'
Just dirt in my pockets, handful of gravel ...
That's when I realized that getting up is only half the battle.
