The Rap Battle Parodies

The Rap Battle is a comedic video series uploaded onto YouTube by MrDeshawnRaw that revolves around Supa Hot Fire, a supposedly unbeatable battle rapper. The series is based on the premise of battle rapping, where the winner is generally audience-chosen; much of the comedy in the series is based around the idea that Supa Hot, despite having a sluggish non-sequitur flow, has a large entourage who ecstatically picks him as the winner even when his opponents display more rapping skill.

Episodes
Part 1
The series began on May 25, 2011, with THE RAP BATTLE . The video is a supposed episode in a rap battle series called "Prime Time Rapping", where the MC introduces the two contestants: challenger B-Bone, whose name is routinely misspoken, and champion Supa Hot Fire, who is currently unbeaten over more than 300 million battles, but repeatedly notes that despite this, he is not a rapper. It quickly becomes apparent that the battle is anything but fair: Supa Hot has a large entourage opposing B-Bone's single friend, the MC notes that Supa Hot always goes first, and as Supa Hot delivers a strange, inert, non-threatening verse, his entourage bursts out cheering after each line, much to B-Bone's bewilderment. Conversely, B-Bone's tighter rhymes are visibly ignored, with little to no reaction. Supa Hot then delivers his final verse entirely in onomatopoeia and dives into the frenzied crowd, as the MC announces him as the winner.
Some of the phrases in the video, like "Psych! That's the wrong number!" and the entourages cheering after each verse went viral.

As the series became more popular, THE RAP BATTLE PT.4 (PARODY), uploaded on March 13, 2012, would feature comedian Chris Rock. Rock portrays Tremendous Repeat in the video, a rapper who sports a New York Knicks fan getup and repeats most of his previous statements.
