This reminds me of a made episode where there was this white kid who first attempt at rapping was "rap rap rap rap rap rap rap rap rap"

on the video however, the host says that this was better than last year...

I don't even want to see last year.

I've been watching this video alot and everytime I find something new that I missed that was funny. Which makes me wonder if this is actually staged because, comedy wise, this was executed so perfectly.

Obvious examples are the host bromance massaging the judge, Eli's long pause after he says "I'm the best mayne, I did it" (timed perfectly), horrible and dated camera work and effects.

But what makes this so good are the little things which you only notice after multiple viewings. Such as, white text being overlayed on top of Marv-O's white T shirt make it impossible to read, Envy's erratic "hiphop" hand jestures, Eli's multiple view split screen and picture-in-picture (which is pointless since its of the same person,lol), the quick camera tilting upward due to bad camera man and LOTS of perfectly awkward pauses before camera transitions.

And so much more, not to mention the freestyle lyrics and general banter making this the perfect storm of comedy.

So it makes me wonder, is this pure comedic genius or really just some mentally challenged kids putting on a rap battle show?

my favourite part is how they put the pure white titles across the pure white t shirt

Could've sworn this was from the Fresh Prince. Nothing in that video made me think 2005, except the P. Diddy "uh huh...uh...uh huh" used as a crutch for not having anything worth saying.

The guy even says something about a 'walking cripple'? Which leads me to think that surely the guy can't be mentally disabled.. that'd be way too nasty, right?

Or maybe he's cool about people making those sort of jokes?

At times he looks like he is mentally disabled.

This is the first video in a long time that i've laughed at uncontrollably. "This dude, like that, he ran in front of the cat." That's the most legendary rap line i've ever heard. You can hear how everyone is laughing so hard after he finishes too... oh god... oh god i could die happy now.

Eli got in trouble for saying "fucking." After they cut his mic, you can hear him say, "I said 'freaking.'"

Plus, you gotta give him props for at least getting up there when he obviously wasn't prepared. He should expect personal shots ("walking cripple") when he gets into a rap battle.

Well done!

Is Eli by any chance blind? I feel kinda bad laughing at this, cause it looks like he might be blind, due to the wierd eye-movement.

dannym3141 (http://www.videosift.com/member/dannym3141) — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:36:08 -0700

Yeah cause laughing at a blind person for reasons completely unrelated to his sight is WRONG!

Blind people can't be stupid, rediculous, silly, strange or funny.

Eli seems to have recently spent a lot of time in the fetal position. I'm glad to see him upright.
