Theres also this thing in south America where dudes basically have rap battles only they sing it flamenco style and accompany themselves with accordion. Shits awesome

^^ Lol yup
Rap battles are just the modern form of these rituals/events. Actually the only reason I knew of them was because of a few papers I wrote about rap's creation and evolution in high school/college

Hey hush, this is a good thread. Very good shit I never even knew this stuff. To keep things in perspective though:

doist thee not knoweth that to speaketh in such a fashion is to hideth thine own lisp in thee olden days of old?"
