Teacher Beats Student In Rap Battle
Tuesday 14th February 2012 | Osh
Mark Grist, a 30 year old poet and supply teacher showed 17 year old MC Blizzard how it’s really done, and vowed to never use sexist, racist or homophobic language in the future.
You really need to check this battle out- though Grist does not teach the Mancunian student directly, he’s definitely picked up a few tips when it comes to rapping!
More than a million viewers have already seen the online battle video at Dontflop.com. It’s hilarious and like a battle you’ve never seen before! Complete with lyrics from MC Blizzard like (I get to battle that nerdy bastard who failed at controlling a class. You knobhead! I hope you drop dead/ If I punch you in the face, who you gonna call? Ofsted?) with the genius retaliation from Grist including (This rapper’s pint sized, he’s cock- eyed, when he raps his mouth only moves on one side. A prepubescent Popeye complete with a physique that implies that all the spinach in the world has died.)
Grist has got support from many unlikely fans for his ethically sound battling. He said ‘I wonder how necessary homophobia, misogyny and racism are if you want to win a battle. If you can do it without using them, why do you choose to do so?’ He is clearly a man of his words because he proves his point in defeating the student.
Harry Love said that it was a legendary battle, with poetical perfection between the teacher and student and ended with ‘Thank you Mr Grist for teaching your class.’
