My Favorite Rap Battles Where White Guys Surprisingly Won

It’s not a bit, guys. I’m legitimately into rap that nobody else listens to and a follower of the underground battle scene that nobody cares about. Actually to be honest, I used to be really into it a few years ago back before I got a mortgage and realized life was meaningless. Nowadays, I catch 8 Mile whenever VH1’s running it on a loop and reminisce about the good ol’ days when I used to drive 8 hours to Cincinnati just to sit in the crowd and get a pic with the Scribble Jam champ that year.

Needless to say, I’ve watched a shitload of rap battles in my life. Honestly, all shtick and self-deprecation aside, it’s one of those raw forms of competition that I’ve always been drawn to and impressed by. It’s hard enough to stand on a stage and come up with jokes on the fly to demoralize a guy you’ve never met, but being able to make it rhyme and make it funny? That’s tough.

There are a couple of battles that’ve stuck with me throughout the years. Some because they were funny, others because they were unusual and then there’s the select few that I’ll always remember because they were unexpected. Everyone thinks Eminem’s the only dude that ever did this but, believe it or not, there’s a handful of white guys who got sweaty palms and ate Mom’s spaghetti way before 8 Mile was in theatres. Here are some of my favorites out there;
