Oct 21 2008Literal Translation Of A Freestyle Rap Battle
Well we've seen a couple literally translated music videos in recent history, and now comes a rap battle, carefully translated by a well-spoken honkey. I love the part about having sexual relations with the other guy's biological mother (around 2:00) -- rappers really do that shit, it's true. And then, at the end of the video, they actually start fighting because the one dude is all up on his tippytoes trying to kiss the other one. I didn't get that part.
Hit the jump to see the very NSFW (due to language) original video.
Thanks to JeffJ, who once killed a guy just by rapping about him.

Offensive to say the least, but also funny. Or at least I assume it is, because I can't watch streaming videos at work.

it's great cause the real video has a delay like an intro in the front, so you can go up and click play on the translation vid
very nice, like there's some poor cracker on the sidlines reporting the rap battle for all his little whitey friends......

lame ripe off from the guy who actually does a good job of the literal translation vidoes. at about the minute mark, i had to stop myself from the screwdriver that my hand was trying to shove in my eye.
11. C-Basstian - October 21, 2008 2:30 PM
Damn i wish i could watch this shit at work...
12. boredom - October 21, 2008 2:32 PM

15. Daisy - October 21, 2008 2:45 PM
Fake!
This is an obviouis photoshop job. You can tell because the Shadoiws and shading are all wrong.
It kinda looks like some out takes from hte movie Never Back Down though, so thats pretty cool.
16. Elmo - October 21, 2008 2:46 PM
f***in never back down
that movie blows
17. Davo - October 21, 2008 2:52 PM
That was funny shit.
18. SlowMonkey - October 21, 2008 2:53 PM
Stupendous! If only all rap (except for The Chronic, that was the only good one) could be 'translated'. And then, all the graffiti artists, please be so kind as to "paint" everyone's pants up....
19. Thumperchica - October 21, 2008 3:07 PM
@14 - We have gmail blocked and we can't clear our history. I'm fairly certain our IT guy knows I'm on here all day, he also knows I work better with a distraction (oddly helps me focus?) and if that went away.... I'd lose it.
20. C-Basstian - October 21, 2008 3:15 PM
i was pissed enought when they blocked thinkgeek.com
21. boredom - October 21, 2008 3:20 PM
@19 and anyone else with blocked websites. If the site is blocked attempt to load the httpS version. This or go to the cmd prompt, type ping xxxx where xxxx is the full internet address. If succesful it will say something like
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx succesful. Just type the (xxx.xxx) number into the address bar. Or check out http://www.shorturl.com/

Hahaha that was some funny ass shit, quite frankly, if you do go and literally "translate" this rap battles it is just too funny that what it all sums down to is always the same, you know the whole "hey I'm more badass than you and i did stuff with your mom" type of shit, but it's entertaining! lol
23. Genius - October 21, 2008 3:46 PM
@21: welcome to the internets, please be sure to RTFM before proceeding. The two methods you so expertly explained for bypassing web filters will work on approximately .1% of websites. Don't try to confuse the masses with that bullshit. Most websites do not have https (Geekologie included) and most websites are being hosted on a share IP address (that thing with all the numbers and dots) so going to the address(try geekologie for instance, http://74.86.101.10) will not get you anywhere.
24. Genius - October 21, 2008 4:14 PM
p.s.
@geekologie: You really should configure your web server so it doesn't show the apache/cpanel page when you go to the IP address this can be insecure. If I had any patience or desire to be malicious I would probably be able to guess the cpanel login info.

@23 & 24 don't stop, you're making me hot
29. jackassiscool - October 21, 2008 6:01 PM
rap is gay.....rappers are gay......those guys just wanted to kiss each other.....hence the sexual tension and subsequent scrap.
30. Pastor Al - October 21, 2008 6:11 PM
Your all white.
BELEIVE IT!
31. weaksauce - October 21, 2008 6:28 PM
How is this a translation at all.... the narration has nothing to do with what they were freestyling about.... would have been better if it was a real translation.
32. Matthew - October 21, 2008 7:58 PM
rap is not music, freestyle is not an art, nor challenging, nor worth the time.
33. ND - October 21, 2008 9:02 PM
them peepoles is dizz-umb!
34. Dave - October 21, 2008 10:14 PM

Awesome!!!
35. SuckMyComment - October 21, 2008 11:06 PM
ROFL hilarious, and it is roughly what they are talking about, but its hard to get times right i guess.
36. Dr.Freak - October 22, 2008 12:26 AM
So... nobody noticed that the names of the rappers in the "translation" of video #1 are different to the names in video #2? This leads me to believe that this is FAKE!
Granted, the amunition for insults in rhyming form is limited & the "white" translation is very funny, it has nothing to do with this actual battle & i suspect was pinched from somewhere else...
Move along please, nothing to see here.
37. Kyle - October 22, 2008 2:30 AM
THAT WAS HILARIOUS. (I invoke Rule 54.)
38. glace neuf - October 22, 2008 10:31 AM
only funny if you watch just the translation - if you watch the original, you will see that these "translators" are barely using the original source material.
39. mc choco king - October 22, 2008 3:29 PM
Goddammit, now ill never know whats the other type of niggas in life. The type that find bitches and f*** em and...WHAT?! The type that find dudes and f*** em?

42. Tock - October 23, 2008 3:34 AM
HA, the guy didn't know how to finish his line so he says "Get out my face!" and starts swingin. He was poised to win that battle too. Whatta shame..
43. Peregrinus - October 23, 2008 6:08 AM
Ah, fisticuffs. Jolly good, and in a gymnasium no less. Most certainly a signature ploy to reflect their sub-mediocre initiatory upbringing level to their respective opponent and followers.
44. pigeon - October 23, 2008 4:31 PM
#30: Only five words and two of them are misspelled. Translation: Pastor Al's area of residence is vastly inferior to that of any peckerwood, and as a consequence Pastor Al's idea of being strong is abstractly equated with his anger that is inversely proportion to his ability to reach his goals in life. Pastor Al's failure is a direct result of his lack of appreciation of education earlier in life; hence the poor spelling and ignorant association of skin color with character.
45. Kevin - October 23, 2008 9:38 PM
HAHAHAHA!
46. Anita Bath - December 8, 2008 2:14 AM
@44: "his anger that is inversely proportion to his ability"?! Speaka da English, please—especially if you're flaming some other guy for bad spelling…
47. PisserPJ - March 21, 2009 10:28 PM
Actually hilarious.
48. Usher Milk Mustache - June 23, 2009 3:34 PM
One of the guys in the video actually looks a lot like Usher but w/o that milk mustache he's often sporting.
49. Doodie - December 3, 2009 12:25 AM
Great post. Rap battles are the pinnacle of negativity and ignorance. And well................they're gay.
I loved the video so much it has doodiepants.
