Chương 59: The rap contest (part 3)

The two guys stood elegantly on stage, and as expected, they had the 7 digits numbers plastered to their outfits. One of them didn't waste time to signal the DJ to display a nice rapping beat for him, and the DJ did just that.....that's what he came here for. The moment the guy heard the beat being displayed by the DJ, he began nodding his head as an indication that he was feeling the beat immensely.

And before anyone knew what was happening, he had started rapping rhythmically. To be sincere, his rapping style was cool and flawless. Anyone listening to the way he rapped should be able to tell that he has an immense passion for rap music. He rapped with everything in him, his hands, his body and so on. And the best part of it was that everything was based on inspiration, yeah, the cool and fluent rapping was based on inspiration.

A good rapper should be able to rap even without writing down lyrics. A good rapper should be able to rap when he\she hears a cool rap beat, that's what is called rapping by inspiration.....those are some of the stuff that defines a good and gifted rapper. The guy climaxed with his rapping, and as expected, he received a round of applause from the crowds, he deserved it.

The other contestant commenced with his rapping after the applause died down, and in honesty, his rapping style wasn't that bad. Seems like all the contestant of this competition were all talented rappers. The crowds were surely waiting for an awful performance from one of the contestants.....but none out of the four contestants performed badly. Though their rapping skills can't be measured on the same scale....some rapped better than the others, but the fact remains that none out of the four of them rapped badly. But a final decision can't be taken yet, there are six more contestants to go.....so the crowds were still expecting an awful performance from one of them.

The man in suit came out from the broad door after the climax of their performance. And as usual, he uttered the same thing to the crowds about the voting stuff and so on. And the same order of events took place again, two contestants came out from the large door once again, females this time. They did the usual stuff, one of them displayed her rapping skills, after she was done...the other followed suit. And their rapping skills weren't that bad.....infact, it was splendid.

Seem like there wasn't gonna be any awful performance from any of the contestants. The voting took place once again, and that's how things went by until it finally got to the turn for the last two contestants to perform...it was time for Darcy to show the crowds how good of a rapper she was, and the foremost.....to prove to Mark that she wasn't a wack rapper.

But a question still pops up, was she really good at rapping as she claims? well, let's see. Darcy sauntered on stage elegantly with the other male contestant. She was dressed in her usual style, that type of masculine dressing, not forgetting to put on a head warmer.....seems like she has a thing for head warmers. The moment Mark set eyes on her, he said to Ben and Dylan,

"She is the new rapper that just got signed to the 'Cool Boiz' record label".

"The one that just sauntered on stage?". Ben inquired.

"Yeah".

"Wow! she's pretty....looks like she has a thing for masculine dressing". Dylan added with his statement.

Mark grinned a little before saying, "Yeah, she has a thing for masculine dressing. She was dressed like this the very first time I saw her at the 'Cool Boiz' headquarter. She was dressed in the same manner when she came to my house this morning".

"She came to your house this morning? Do you guys have some sort of connection or something?". A confused Ben asked.

Mark smiled again before uttering, "Don't worry, I'm gonna explain all in detail to you guys after the climax of this contest".

"You better do".

Darcy scanned through the crowds to find out if Mark came, but she couldn't find him. With that feeling and belief that he came, she searched deeply once again, she then sighted him among the crowds. The moment she glanced at him, her eyes met with his, she then gave him that look of 'I'll prove to you'. Mark didn't look away when Darcy stared at him, instead, he kept on glancing at her with a straight face.

Without wasting much time, the male contestant beckoned on the DJ to play a nice beat for him, and the DJ did just so. The guy nodded his head to the beat for some seconds before putting it to a halt, yeah, he told the DJ to stop the beat.....he wasn't feeling it enough. This was the first contestant to stop a beat played by the DJ. He told the DJ to play another beat....but a more rapid one this time.

The DJ did as he was told, he played a more rapid beat. Not only that the beat was rapid, it was also cool and filled with an immense vibe. Now, this was the kind of beat the guy needed. After grooving to the beat for some seconds, the guy began to rap. Another swift rapper, yeah, the guy's rapping was swift and very pleasant to listen to...no wonder he beckoned on the DJ to play a more rapid beat for him.

No doubt, all the participants of this contest were all talented rappers, it was evident. The guy concluded with his rapping, and yeah, his rapping style was definitely a good one. It was time for Darcy's performance, it was time for her to show the crowds how good of a rapper she was....it was time for her to prove to Mark that she wasn't a wack rapper. She beckoned on the DJ to play a very special kind of rap beat for her. A type of rapid and slow beat at the same time.....that doesn't make sense right? but that's the kind of beat she wanted.

The DJ searched his laptop deeply before he found the type of rap beat Darcy requested for. Those kinds of beats weren't that easy to get and they aren't that easy to produce. He played it, and as a gifted rapper should do, Darcy felt the beat to her satisfaction, grooved to it, sighed, glanced at Mark once again before she started rapping.

Just to say this, Darcy wasn't close to being a wack rapper, her rapping style was super dope...it was special. She was blending two types of rapping styles together. The onset of her rapping was rapid, but suddenly, she slowed the pace of it, before anyone knew what was happening, she'd diverted it back to a fast rapping while fitting along with the beat perfectly. Everyone in the audience was really wowed by her rapping style, it was really special.

Mark opened his mouth in awe as Darcy rapped, calling her a wack rapper was really a big mistake. He knew that she wasn't a wack rapper, he was only trying to humiliate her in front of everyone also. But he wasn't expecting her rapping to be this good.....actually, to be this splendid.

Dylan shoved Mark a little to get his attention before saying,

"She really is a good rapper, like damn! her rapping style is super dope. I think her performance is the best of all the contestants that performed today. Your label boss made a really good choice by signing her".

"I concur to that". Ben added with his statement nodding his head in agreement.

Darcy spectacularly concluded with her rapping, but she didn't receive a round of applause from the crowds...she received a thunderous round of applause instead. Even without been told, the crowds already knew what to do, the man in suit has always been reminding them to execute it always...that's the voting stuff. Everyone was expecting the man in suit to come out and address them with his speech about the voting stuff and others as he has always been doing. But it wasn't the man that came out from the broad door this time, it was a lady in gown.

She sauntered on stage majestically, faced the crowds and began speaking,

"I am pretty sure you guys enjoyed that performance by the last two contestants. You know what to do, vote for your best among the two. You guys might be wondering why I was the one that came out instead of the man in suit.....well, I'm gonna be taking over from now. The first phase of this rap competition is over. All the ten contestants have displayed their rapping skills to you guys and you guys have done well by voting for the best among the best. Now, we're gonna be eliminating five contestants from the competition.....yeah, those with the lowest vote counts,

Then the second phase of the rap contest is gonna proceed afterward. Before I reveal what is to take place at the second phase of this contest, I'll like to welcome all the eight contestants on stage, two are on stage already".
