What is Alex Trebek vs Nostradamus?

Right you are

So basically with this, I took ages because I had no idea who Alex Trebek was before this was suggested because Jeopardy isn't a thing here. I watched like 2 episodes on YouTube to get a feel for it and wrote each rapper's first verse but then had nowhere to go because while Jeopardy and Trebek have both been around forever, there are so many episodes that there aren't that many, like, pinnable jokes. But I pressed on and finished the final verses on the day of upload (helped by the sex-a-licious Josef). If I'm being honest with you, I'm not fully sure I even understand the connection between these two but people suggested it so I did it anyway which is probably a bad thing but in the words of Abraham Ford, suck my nuts.

To contrast with last time where the beat was fast and shit, today the lyrics are much slower, or drawn out. Prepare for long lines and convoluted flows that may or may not work, it's up to you to determine that!

In this contest of a French person vs a Canadian person (again, I'm not confident I know the connection), host of syndicated NBC game show Jeopardy, Alex Trebek, battles the Renaissance apothecary and famed predictor of big events, Nostradamus in a battle of whose game show is... who can foresee... I don't fucking know but they're battling for sure!

Alex Trebek:
This is verbal war! Let's meet today's opponent!

A French fortune cookie coming up short like Napoleon

And I'm your host Alex; answers the category "Victors"

Went from Music Hop straight to the top and the Odds are against this Wizard!

I've rocked TV since '84, you've been irrelevant for Centuries

I doubt with your gout you could step to me, now you've put yourself in Jeopardy!

Compare my show, alluring, to your stories, vague and boring

Your most accurate prediction was expiring by the morning

Nostradamus:
The prophet and the show host in a bout, I'll smack him as fast as he inebriates

When I knock the crap out your sailor mouth, all Canada will have left is Bieber and Drake

And if that quatrain was a strain on your pitiful brain, allow me to explain the facts

When it comes to attacking talentless hacks, this gangster Frank's got the Alma-knack

Yes, you have that plaque, but it isn't worth Pat Sa-Jack, I blow minds with the foretellings I'm penning

<font color=#d09f73>Predict atomic bombings and September the Eleventh, son I'm winning on repeat like my name was Ken Jennings

<font color=#d09f73>But honestly, the apothecary from Saint-Rémy need no prophecy

<font color=#d09f73>To know that at the point this conflict ceases, you'll be left standing in your boxer briefs

<font color=#9a04ad>Alex Trebek:
<font color=#9a04ad>Yes, you're a High Roller, but there's a Truth I've got to Tell

<font color=#9a04ad>That exactly as you know of yourself, your raps are going off to hell

<font color=#d09f73>Nostradamus:
<font color=#d09f73>I'm divine! I divine! Step out of line and like a lion

<font color=#d09f73>In the prime of his time, I'll leave this elder cruelly dying!

<font color=#9a04ad>Alex Trebek:
<font color=#9a04ad>You might think you're a worthy Challenger, but you'll crash and burn like a shuttle

<font color=#9a04ad>So don't think you can Dare to diss me, I'm dealing out a dope Daily Double

<font color=#9a04ad>And trust me, I've met with many a contestant, so as a test, take a guess at this question

<font color=#9a04ad>"This Fraud of a Frenchman has a penchant for senseless, pedestrian, tenuous pretention"

BUZZER <font color=#567b98>Who is Michel de Nostradame? <font color=#9a04ad>Slammed the buzzer so hard, coulda lost an arm

<font color=#9a04ad>Fought heart attacks hard and warred with Nerdcore so a pompous frog's not a cause for alarm

<font color=#9a04ad>Take it from my Emmies and the Walk of Fame, you're condemned by academics while I'm challenging the brain

<font color=#9a04ad>You can see the future clear as day, so you claim, yet I won the jackpot and you're out of the game

<font color=#d09f73>Nostradamus:
<font color=#d09f73>I'll rebut this canuck with astronomical candour, this rap category is one you can't answer

<font color=#d09f73>I should be battling stars, I'm an MC of truly galactic standards (ha!)

<font color=#d09f73>Don't dismiss this as fiction, I'm keeping it real! This un-Fortunate gonze is asleep at the Wheel

<font color=#d09f73>So Let's Make a Deal: if you yield, you won't feel the burns even my plague doctor skills can't heal

<font color=#d09f73>You're too old for this shizz, so behold the physician of diss-dishing whose taking a hold of this quiz

<font color=#d09f73>My influence is so bold and so big, that Psy became a sign of the apocalypse

<font color=#d09f73>I'm really no saint, but that 'stache was a sin! You read off the cards and you still couldn't win

<font color=#d09f73>So stick to the horses, put down the gin, 'cause I'll send you off crying like the kids backstage been
