Repente: Funny rhymes & Good times


(Source: Clube do Repente)

I grew up in the mid-90’s on a healthy dose of hip-hop and rap, mostly listening to the likes of Tupac and Notorious Big. Between them and their respective territories, there was always talk of a duel of sorts and in their lyrics, they would often diss the hip-hop scene on the opposing coast. Hearing the word duel reminds me less of two people musically conversing with each other and more of the kind of duel one might see in an old Western film. In fact, both rappers I mentioned happened to have lost their lives to gun violence.
