Every rap battle benefits from a good hype man who riles up the crowd and gets everyone excited. But sometimes, the so-called “rap battle hype man” goes a little too far with his sidekick duties. Instead of drawing attention to the amazing rap, he distracts everyone with his excessive shouts and blasts of encouragement.

This rap battle between Young Steady and K-Kendle at the iBattle Worldwide showcases one of those obnoxious henchmen. While the people in the crowd nod along with him at first, you can tell they start to get annoyed at his droning cat shrieks by the end.

This clip from the 1989 movie Teen Witch features, quite possibly, the worst rap battle in history. While it’s undeniably the worst it’s also the absolute BEST thing ever.

Louise and her BFF Polly are biking when they run into a couple “funky” teens attempting to be all swag by rapping a diddy called “Top That” with the help of a boombox. Polly wishes she could be as cool as them so her magic friend secretly gives her the power of rapping. Her curly-haired friend then manages to serve the trio of no-good ruffians with her own unique strain of crap.

I also must point out that 1989 is the year I was born, so I can attribute much of my awesomeness to the state of film during my birth year.
