Lyrical vs. Melodic (Inspired by...
• Written by KeyJam
KeyJam's Notes
This is a fictional rap battle between lyrical and melodic rap as concepts, inspired by Harvey Seasalt's Rap Battle series. Check him out, he's fucking GOATed.
// JUDGE: Alright, what is goin' on ladies and gentlemen?
// JUDGE: Today, we have two styles of rap going head to head, I'm talking of course about Lyrical and Melodic.
// JUDGE: Lyrical rap, are you ready?
// LYRICAL: Mhm.
// JUDGE: *inhales deeply* Then kick this shit.

Eric B, Nas, Rak', KRS, Pac, Big
Would mass suicide if they ever checked y'all shit
Assholes, they wanna mass excrete it
Package, treat it, then send it off to get mass repeated
We tired of bitches, hoes, drugs and expensive clothes
Think it was sunshine and rainbows slingin' dope?
No, kiddies don't know the work we did for a lil' control
But you had it easy, daddy workin' for Interscope
UMG, test me, beat you blue like UFC
You can't be serious, your mel'dies sound hellish
You sound retarded and white, kids make it
Cause they autotuned them farting on mic
Can't pick apart the shit we write, we stand tall, wrists strong
You can't stay on the Billboard one hun, jus Tiktok
Your relevance fleetin', you're simply seething
That our stone-cold hearts are still-a-beating, bitch
// JUDGE: GOD DAMN! Call me Jeremy and jiggle my cheeks.
// JUDGE: Melodic rap, are you ready?
// LYRICAL: Hell yeah.
// JUDGE: *exhales deeply* Then kick this shit.

Who the fuck are you talkin' down to?
Paintin' ugly pictures wit' your words, you just a clown too
Sure we don't rhyme every single line dude,
But you still clingin' onto that one cypher from high school
Time to stop chasin' the high, start wavin' 'em by
Cause by the time you drop an album we'll make singles fly
I know you want lyrical miracles all the time,
But Immortal Technique is great... at makin' the party die,
See, nobody likes whinin' 'bout street life in the 90's
'Bout shit nobody lived, actin' tuff like you diamonds
You're jus coal, once I get through and blow the dust off
You'll know that you can't rap as good as you once thought
Please, shut the fuck up, let the AUX bump up
We playin' Uzi, Carti, you playin' yourself, you bum (uh)
// JUDGE: Niiiiiice. We all had fun here, right?
// LYRICAL: Yup.
// MELODIC: Fuck yes!
// JUDGE: Welp, that's that. Tell us who you think rapped better. Until next time, PEACE!
