1. When in a rap battle, you want to make sure that your verse includes three major things.
2. Similes - Making comparisons with your opponent to something that insults them. Try to link it with something going on in the world at the moment that everyone has heard of.
3. Disses - (a diss is an insult)You want to diss your opponent on broad topics like: how they dress, speak, spit, look, walk, talk, act, or their personality; or personally: the way they live, their past, their lifestyle, or any other weaknesses about them.
4. Humor - Make the crowd and judges and even your opponent laugh. Sometimes that will win the battle for you.
5. Battle raps are made up of two parts; a set up and a punch line. The set up is a line that is an opener or rhyme line that your punch-line (where the insult is) will follow. A Punch-Line is basically a line that incorporates a Metaphor, Diss, and/or anything else to enhance the flow directed at your opponent.

Happy Holidays to All
