Information on the rapper
Edward Teach (or Edward Thatcher), better known as Blackbeard was born around c. 1680 and was an English pirate who operated around the West Indies and the eastern coast of the American colonies. He is one of the most infamous and notorious pirates in recorded history.
Little is known about Edward's early life. He was most likely born in Bristol, England and may have served aboard privateer ships during Queen Anne's War. Teach joined the crew of Captain Benjamin Hornigold around 1716 and was placed in command of a sloop he had captured. The two engaged in numerous acts of piracy. After Hornigold had retired, Teach captured a French merchant vessel, renamed her Queen Anne's Revenge, and became a renowned pirate.
He earned the name "Blackbeard" because of his thick black beard and fearsome appearance, which he used to strike fear in the ones he robbed. Blackbeard would raid merchant ships, stealing all the valuables, liquor, food, and weapons from the ships and let them go if there was no resistance. If the crew on the ships would try to resist, they would all be killed or left behind on a deserted island. He kept headquarters in the Bahamas and the Carolinas. Despite his infamy, he wasn't the most successful of pirates, having only a short reign of terror between 1716 and 1718. On November 22, 1718, Blackbeard and several of his crew members were killed by a small force of sailors led by lieutenant Robert Maynard, who was arranged by Alexander Spotswood, the governor of Virginia, to try and capture Blackbeard. It took 5 gunshots and 20 cutlass wounds for Robert to kill Blackbeard, and he tied his head with rope and hung it up on Maynard's Bow. His body was then thrown overboard on November 22, 1718.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
I come strapped with six pistols and a dagger.
Walk under the black flag with a scallywag swagger!
Ain't no parrot on my shoulder and no rings in my ear.
I'm an irate pirate, real swashbuckling buccaneer!
Beef with me? Please! I'm the high seas Caesar!
My cold heart is many degrees beneath the deep freezer!
You're an obese greasy sleaze squeezing a diseased peter
That no skeezer would touch if she had fifty foot tweezers!
Don't start a war with me; you're not hardcore!
I'll pimp-slap those face scars of yours: port and starboard!
You spent time in Alcatraz. I'm sure you were fine,
If you dropped the soap as little as you drop dope rhymes!
Verse 2:
The Valentine Massacre brought you condemnation,
But I'm gonna sink you faster than your income tax evasion
When I toss you overboard like a mob abomination,
So prepare to learn the Davy Jones locker combination!
Forty cannon on the Queen Anne; your gang can't stop it!
I'll pilfer all your rum and sell it back at a profit,
'Cause I'm a criminal legend with a bad-ass name!
You're a fat thug with an STD in his brain!
Scrapped lyrics
Any sausage eatin' mobsters named Al Capone should cross the
Skull and crossbones. He'll walk the plank to Davy Jones' Locker.
Yar, I went out on an adventure, but I was in my blimey prime.
See, I'd rather lose me head than lose me friggin' mind!
Trivia
- His background was made by Ubisoft, who sponsored the battle. This is the second (known) time ERB has not made a background themselves.
