Zinger, I like the idea of writing in 1st person as historical figures, but why does it have to be a rap battle? That really limits participation. Why not a straight up poetry battle? I'm just fucking over rap battle comps, only because the standard of the rap here in DUP falls short compared to what I've seen recently at an open mic in NYC.
If you DUP rappers want to prove me wrong, how about y'all start laying down your raps on a recording, with or without beats, and post it here in DUP to show us all your killa flow... Instead of telling us how fly your rhymes and multies are.
Good luck with the comp, h o m e s.

Ricky, just because someone writes in 1st person about vets that doesn't make them a vet. That goes for rappers rapping about being rappers. Because that's the challenge of being a creative writer, telling a story and making it real.
I believe everyone who commented on the piece you're referring to, excluding tank girl, had been in the military at some stage in their life and the reason why they commented is because they connected with the poem.
I look forward to hearing you rap.

SWEET CELSA
Adios my sweet Celsa
It’s time for me to go
Will ride together again
But not till after you’ve grown old
Amour my sweet Celsa
No tears for me will you shed
Will meet on a grand hacienda
When in heaven we are wed
Sir Winston Churchill

Thanks, but now I realize that maybe Churchill wasn't such a good prompt. If no one responds to it in a few days, maybe I'll change it to something more exciting.
