User blog:Bobdave/Epic Rap Battles - Modern vs Classic Announcement

Hi

Okay, first thing, this is a completely different prospect to the *insert specific interest* vs History series.

Second, yes! I am announcing a new series! Perhaps one not as esoteric as Rap Battles of the Pokédex!

Epic Rap Battles: Modern vs Classic!

So, as you may have guessed from the title, the premise of the new rap battle series is to have two(+) people with a common ground battling. One from an older time and one(+!) from more recent years. How long ago? How recent? It's all relative to the topic at hand! A centuries-old subject might prompt people from the 1500s sparring those from the 1900s. A topic spanning back to the ancient world could have a dude from 948 BC battling someone from the American Civil War. Something that was invented in the 1950s would probably warrant an opponent from the new millennium. As long as there's a distinct difference in the way things were done in the specific niche between the time periods, I'm down with it. The connections themselves should still generally be quite solid, though. Probably similar to that of an ERB's (especially considering some battles indeed use this premise with a strong connection).

I am also open to things like royales and team battles. Team battles would just be multiple people facing multiple people, simple enough. Royales on the other hand would be like a "History in Rap Battle format" type thing. Going through the timeline of a topic and whatnot. These should be reserved only for very, very, significant and specific subject matters. I ain't doin' no "leaders throughout the ages", cuz there's no way to compact that timeline enough for a battle if you get what I'm saying. Don't be too liberal with these royale suggestions, please. They'll be special battles which I can't have popping up every other installment.

So yes! If you have any suggestions, drop 'em and I will consider and research each and every one! Guests I will handle as suggestions arrive and I add them to my roster of upcoming battles, but if you'd be happy to guest, do mention it so I know! Have a nice day!

Btdubs - This'll probably wind up premiering after the completion of Rap Battles of the Pokédex Season 1. With four more battles to go, I'mma set the premiere date for this series on... July 16 let's say. This could end up running into Season 2 of RBotP but I'll cross that bridge when it hits me in the face!

Mark your calendars!

Or don't!

But get somewhat hype!
