Proof of Work, part VI

Rap battle breaks out at Bagram

This one is from a few days ago, but it's still good. And my street cred is off the charts, yo.

It's official, if i were living on your time, whichever it currently is, I'd be a normal person as we're both up right now : )

Unfortunately, you used: (expletive), whereas it's be previously determined that CNN now spells theirs out. I guess I can't call you Anderson Cooper anymore.

My real problem is now determining whether he used two different expletives that rhymed, which would be impressive, or the same one twice, which is lame, really.

Seriously tho, awesome story. My next film will be about rap contests in afghanistan. I hope DiFulvio can freeverse.

very awesome dude.

Just so you know, They deleted out the curses in the central office -- this is the fifth or sixth time I've submitted a story with expletives only to have them shot down by my stodgy editors.

It was "shit" and "bitch", which don't really rhyme, but it sorta worked.

'But it was to no avail. Another week, another new champion in Bagram’s Thursday night freestyle contest.'

Man, you are the whitest freestyle-contest-covering reporter I've ever met. But I do applaud your efforts to get cussin' in the newspaper. The real question of the day is would the rhyming that your editors struck from the print edition be considered near-rhyme, half-rhyme, imperfect rhyme, off-rhyme, partial rhyme, slant rhyme or pararhyme? And does anybody know what parahyme means? Is it a medical condition?

If you drink the water out here, you get pararhyme something nasty.
