Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Rap Battle Contest - Beta

Internally, Brian (merch guy) and I like to torment Dave Coffman (PAX guy that is super shy) by taking on his (not actually his. Brian and I made it for him) West Coast 80s Rap Persona, DJ DeeCoff. We turn the quiet, mild mannered vegetarian into a lyrical flowing sex-hound that runs PAX on the side.
Anyway, I tell you this story because we're thinking of running a weird contest where the winners get a signed pair of these:
http://www.penny-arcade.com/2011/5/23/shoes/
the pre-order version of this:
http://store.penny-arcade.com/products/blamimations-season-1-dvd-set
and the pre-order version of this:
http://store.penny-arcade.com/products/volume-7-be-good-little-puppy
and a signed copy of the upcoming Season 2 DVD.
(NO LINK YET)
Given the creators (Kris/Scott and Mike/Jerry), I thought that what might be interesting was a contest that had you write a rap battle between the two groups. Is this weird? Yes, it's probably weird. But before we unleashed it onto the wild, I wanted to test the waters with you guys to see if it had legs.
Let's say 12-16 verses each side?
If it does well in here, we'll put it out into the world (whoever is best here I'm sure we can come up with a separate prize, and yeah the stuff you submit here will be put into the main pool as well).

I'm wondering the same thing.
Does Khoo want this to be a full-fledged remake of Beat It, or just want some "mad rhymes"?
Also, throwing this thread into my sig to get attention from the rest of the board.

That star up there's called David fo' a reason
It's cuz I elevate and shine for PAX Season
So bright the hos clusta' when I meet 'em
I supernova in their ass and then I leave 'em
Might hold off on ordering Blam S1 to save money on shipping if so
And wooo, rap battle!

Correct!
JordynNolz.com <- All my blogs (Shepard, Wasted, J'onn, DCAU) are here now!
or the greatest thing ever
are we limited in this regard
I mean, should we try to shoot for a Will Smith sorta clean, happy thing, or will it be ok to go the early 90's snoop/tupac route?
2 verses in the books.
(K+S)
Coming at you live from the Blamimation Nation
We got all that you need so don't change the station
Time to lay down these sick Blam beats
So fire up yo' browser and pump out some tweets
(M+J)
Now we don't mean to rain on yo' parade
But we are the boys from Penny Arcade
We got Dickwolves, Fruitfucker and Wangs galore
So listen up fools 'cos this is the score
(K+S)
Now look here Scott they think they the shit
But we are next gen and yo' only 8-bit
Nice call out to the gamers there Kris
These rhymes we dealin' are sure not to miss
(M+J)
You must be trippin' if you think we scared
We just like Batman fools, we always prepared
So don't make us throw on our D&D attire
'Cos that just means yo' rhymes will expire
(K+S)
We don't got to sit here and take this from you
All y'all know we the true PA crew
We took your throne and rinsed it down
Whole world knows this is Kris and Scotts town
(M+J)
Yo' forget one thang in this lyrical war
Let us remind you, freshen the score
We run this ship, starboard, bow and decks
So get the fuck out and clean out your desks
With my Rhyming Fez, get ready for a compositional beating
Like you haven't received since American Greetings
I rhyme with precision, your rhymes sound like farts
From a pair of dudes jerkin' to Strawberry ShortTart
Ice T(ycho)
I'm above the law, just go ask Jack
And my gametes are spread further than a nympho bladderwrack
My vocabulary is endless, like roots of a tree
And I'll forsake you like I did Precipice: Episode Three
SK1
PAX to the north east west and south
You've got so many people comin' its like a night in your mouth
Its true you're popular, got an army of noobs
But I think your talent peaked at "ride bikes and look at boobs"
G
Your mumbles aren't rhymes, is that a wang or a mic
Even Lolbat looks at you and says "does not like"
If you really wanna battle, I say bring it on
I'll leave you with nothing but to scream out 'KHAN!'
MC BLAM
Your fans write your battle raps, whore 'em up
But it'd work better, if you could keep the forums up
Your game is weak, you're no Time who's who
The real reason you're still here is named Robert Khoo
G+T
Has your dad called yet, he'd probably tell you to stop
I'm gonna pick up this mic, that you so nicely dropped
But I'm a drawer not a writer, so I'll end this stanza
something something something something "GIANT PANDA"
hi whippy!
we're writing a rap where Mike and Jerry are battling Kris and Scott
this is correct?
If you do this, you should record yourself rapping it.
Kris and Scott... Scott and Kris...
We're layin down rhymes, yeah sure, this is bliss
You think you're big shit with this penny arcade
But look at this match, you're clearly outweighed
M+J
Turn that shit down, you ain't got nothin' on us
Got four comics but you nothin' but jealous
Ya'll couldn't help but jump at the chance
Moved right in here, we got you caught in a trance
K+S
Keep actin' like you're the cream of the crop
We're cuttin' you down like we're runnin' a butcher shop
Got our kick started, we're ready to circumvent
Blammin' down magic, right outta' the orient
M+J
Look at these two, thinkin' we're outta the game
We just started, we're bathin' in fame
Bitches screamin our names in the streets, they can't get enough of this team
We'll just keep handlin' these beats, while we're makin' your mothers cream
K+S
Alright, now that's a step too far, someone's startin' to sound annoyed
Even your fans can see you're gettin paranoid
Bow down to your friends turned powerhouses
We even got you these gifts, brand new pink blouses
M+J
Now we know you've given up, ain't got no where to run
Throwin' out lines like some sawed off shotgun
Lookin' like zombies, stricken with rigor mortis
Consider this line your eviction notice
*Drop mics*

actually, once I reread Khoo's OP and realized that was not the point of this exercise, I decided not to do it
