A rap battle is when 2 rappers go head to head and use intricate, and creative punchlines. They may use metaphor's, name or word play, or personals. There are on beat rap battles such as the ones that take place on BET'S 106 & PARK. Or acapella, where they rappers spit without a beat. There are several acapella rap battle leagues taking the game by storm such as, Grind Time, URL, Dont Flop, and Fight Klub.
Here are some examples of punchlines used in a rap battle said by well known battle rappers.
