Last Name: Ever. First Name: Greatest.

It's true. This blog post is full of explicit lyrics. Don't read on if you're offended by rap music (or at least don't watch the videos)!

At about 2am on Saturday, March 27th, we were all headed home after a night of celebrating our dear friend, Rory, who killed it in the NCAA Division III National Championships in breaststroke. Drake's "I Want This Forever" came on and I mentioned how much I wished I had the Eminem verse memorized. And then it happened, the champ, himself, challenged me to a rap off. Not just of Eminem's verse, but of the entire song. If you're not familiar with this song, it consists of four verses, each rapped by a different rapper. It would be no small feat to memorize it. I of course responded with, "Bring it on!"

We decided the rap off would take place today, Monday April 5th. We knew we would be seeing each other at swim practice at 5:30am in the morning and, seeing as we are SO hard core, we figured it would be the perfect setting for a rap off. The initial plan was to do it on the blocks because Rory claimed he could "bump the music in there!" Fast forward to this morning and Rory is running around with some tiny computer speakers. This simply would not do. The rap off was immediately moved to Jessi's car.

So, me, Rory, Eric, Jessi, Steve, and Nate all bundled back up after stripping down to our swim suits and ran for the door. Our swim coach, Kevin, had no clue what was going on since he had just told us to get in the pool for our warm up. We simply explained we had a rap off to attend to - obvi!

Once we got in the car, Rory pointed out that "these are the types of things that happen while the rest of the world sleeps!" That's right. While you all are sleeping in, white people around the nation are having rap offs in cars in the parking lots of Christian University campuses!

I would be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous. Rory and I talked a lot of shit in the days leading up to this. This guy doesn't mess around. He is by far one of the most hard-working, determined human beings I know. I knew that messing up, even once, was not going to be an option.

So, off we went. True to form, my girl was there to film the entire thing. Enjoy! (Be sure to stop my music on the playlist on the right.)

So there you have it. I didn't mess up. NOT. ONCE.
