"Rap Night" is a venerable Yankee tradition dating back to the 1700's, celebrated today in Manchester, NH and Portland, ME -- the original location. The crew behind Maine's rap night have been doing big annual emcee battles for ten years now...which brings us to 10th Annual Ruckus Cup Classic.
There's been no shortage of discussion about Who Is The Best Rapper so far in 2017, and most of those discussions are fucking pointless. Nobody can agree on which measurements matter, or what kind of accomplishments define achievement. On November 25th, there is going to be a real rap battle with real judges for real money. A thousand US dollars type real money.
This will be bringing in talent from all over New England, so if you wanted to make a name for yourself, this is probably the right time and the right place.
Probably comes with an important disclaimer, though: they're doing signups at 8pm the day of the event. No word yet on how many slots are available, but that is something to consider before you commit to a road trip.
Odds are pretty good the contestants will be performing front of a sold out house, too. In a rare nod to the four elements, there are also going to be DJ battles and a breaking exhibition in the building. This event is 18+ and advance tickets are $18. Doors at 8 pm: again, be there at 8 pm to sign up for the battle.
