Without further ado, we present a group of British schoolboys who attempt to transform battle rapping into something it hasn't been here in America for quite some time. See, here we have battle rappers trying to relieve themselves on stage. But overseas, it looks like battle rap is the second biggest sport next to, well, soccer. All of these kids are packed with adrenaline, losing their shit after each rhyme. They're like a football team riling each other up before the big game, smacking helmets and inexplicably shoving one another. Does it matter that they're all pubescent little kids who probably have never been to a rap show in their life? No, of course it doesn't.

Some of these boys come up with some clever rhymes, too. No one in the pack is the next Eminem or anything, but there are a few cats who stand out.

(0:11) – This dude may or may not be injured. He's holding a crutch, but it doesn't seem like he's using it for balance. Injury or no injury, he does come through with the worst ether: "I already said you were a rap crook/Yo, I should write a book on how I made you so shook/And your sister's virginity is what I took."

(1:06) – This guy's bars are so weak it hurts, but the dance he does after he finished may be the best thing we've seen since the Shmoney Dance.

(2:38) – And the most clever line goes to: "Your mom likes the flavor of my dirty milk/That's why I always leave her body as smooth as silk."

Shout out to the teacher/principal who breaks up the battle at the end. We doubt they had much material left.
