Students will battle it out for a chance to win up to $300
in scholarships. The rap battle will be from 7 to 9 p.m. on September 19 at
the Meacham Auditorium, located in the Oklahoma Memorial Union.
The tournament will be divided into eight rappers. Each
contestant will compete against each other in a freestyle. The noise level of the crowd will determine
the winner. The winner of the rap battle will receive the title of “Best Rapper
on Campus.”
The auditions were held on September 3 and 4 in the Traditions
Room at the union. Participants
freestyled for up to three minutes to a panel of judges from the Black Student
Association and the Union Programming Board.
Each candidate was judged based on flow, originality and
stage presence. According to the community affairs coordinator of the Black
Student Association Mariah Moore, the scores ranged from eight to nine.
This is the first rap battle hosted by the Union Programming
Board.
