Rap Battles

Rap battles are debates on Debate.org that are formatted similarly to real life rap battles, except under the limits set by the round-by-round format and character limits of debates. Just like real life rap battles, they feature two users insulting eachother and bragging about themselves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_rap
Although rap battles usually fall into the above description, unique rap battles have appeared that focus on other topics or have purposes beyond bragging and put-downs against one's opponent. This includes a debate about whether Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prediction for the messiah, formatted like a rap battlehttp://www.debate.org/debates/Christian-rapper-me-vs.-Jewish-rapper-Rap-battle-debate/1/, and a rap battle that focuses on complementing rather than criticizing one's opponent. http://www.debate.org/debates/Rap-Battle-Compliments/1/. Another interesting example is the Fancy Polite Gentlemens Rap Battle. http://www.debate.org/debates/Fancy-Polite-English-Gentlemens-Rap-Battle/1/
