Macbeth vs Macduff
• Written by Literature
Literature's Notes
Just a quick intro on what this rap is:
This was an assignment I had to do a while back.
I knew about this website, so I decided to do it on here.
It is about the story Macbeth, and for our assignment, we had to create
a modern interpretation of a scene. So I chose the battle scene.
The modernisation is that instead of an actual sword battle,
they are rap battling, and instead of macduff being c-section, he is
illiterate. Anyways, just randomly asking for feedback so I can improve
my current rapping skills. Peace.
Written in head that will stir up a storm
Macbeth verses Macduff, gathers a swarm
Macbeth with his solid nerves of steel
Macduff the opposite, 'hide your squeals'
Macbeth holds a charm that can't be broken
Hold up, maybe Macbeth has forespoken
Duff with a secret, that only he knows
Watch out Beth, Duff will strike from the shadows
[Macbeth's verse of the rap battle]
(16 bars, 32 lines) (Crowd could be cheering in the background)
Automated voice: MACBETH!
How many more fools do I got to kill
For me to claim crown of king of the hill?
Look at this weak tool, screwing his own act
In fact, backtrack to your out-of-whack raps
While you're at it, drag Ross back home with ya
You and your cousin are both poor failures
You brought Malcolm with ya, (is) that a joke?
The guy knows nothing, he never been woke
Siward's gone mad, thinking of dissing me
Old as my granddad with insanity
Then there's Macduff, no mistaking here
Ha, tough luck, aren't you shaking in fear?
Standing next to the greatest of all time
All of youse can text your mamas goodbye
You ain't nothing Duffy, you'll be speechless
When I'm done with ya, preaching worthless speech
To these feeble minded leeches, teaching
Basic rap skills to the dumb-brain teachers
Of the dozen tribe, crying inside while I
Leave you wide-eyed, deep fried and dyed in
Red paint, for when bulls start flying at yas.
For Duncan's sake, return home to Detroit
You're the bait for simpletons and fakers
Just face it, your crew got nothing to do
Even your shoes are too loose for your views
Look, they're being held together with blue glue!
Stupid dozen tribe, absurd and insane
I walk this path alone, nothing to gain
Charm's working well I can say, it's damn tight
Won't be beaten by who can read or write
Give it up Duff, battle's over, it's done
Here's a gun, in case you didn't have fun.

Automated voice: MACDUFF!
Have you ever felt the kind of rage that
Makes you wanna destroy the stage that stands?
Slit your hands and scrap your plans, low lying Beth
I'm about to grab and stab ya to death.
How dare you even mention Duncan's name!
The fame that you 'gained' will break ya frame.
Too much for a small wuss like you to hold
Your fake 'honour' is faker than fool's gold!
I'll never forgive you for what you did
You killed my life; my wife and my kid!
Now you're dissing my cousin and my friends?
The dozen tribe I bring will have no end
To the wrath that we will bring over you
My crew's gonna beat ya, rip ya till ya
Be dripping with blood, leaking like flash floods.
Fury never ends, it's in our lifeblood
Argh, this guy is a sore sight for my eyes
Don't even try to fight, I'll make ya cry
In fact, I'm dying a little inside
I'm about to leave this guy horrified
Hear this out Macbeth, I'm illiterate
Treated cheap because of my difference
Felt hated as I went through gates of hell
But no more, my skill will only excel
Hey Beth, what's that charm that you say you hold?
The one you think makes you're overly bold?
'Can't be beaten by who can read or write.'
That means I am destined to win this fight!
Let's end this duel with the rest of my fuel
Finish this feud with this false minded fool
Beth, your raps are dull, made from gibberish
You've been vanquished by the illiterate
Written in head that will stir up a storm
Macbeth verses Macduff, gathers a swarm
Macbeth with his solid nerves of steel
Macduff the opposite, 'hide your squeals'
Macbeth holds a charm that can't be broken
Hold up, maybe Macbeth has forespoken
Duff with a secret, that only he knows
Watch out Beth, Duff will strike from the shadows
