A rap battle is when 2 rappers go head to head and use intricate, and creative punchlines. They may use metaphor's, name or word play, or personals. There are on beat rap battles such as the ones that take place on BET'S 106 & PARK. Or acapella, where they rappers spit without a beat. There are several acapella rap battle leagues taking the game by storm such as, Grind Time, URL, Dont Flop, and Fight Klub.
Here are some examples of punchlines used in a rap battle said by well known battle rappers.
Loaded Lux: "Bitch you aint a crip ill make you flip like a jolly dolphin/ Lie on a track, die on ya back with the trolly chargin/ broke ya neck now, poke ya chest out like Dolly Parton"

Get the Rap Battlemug. The Fantuish Rap, a once-successful e-paper that has now fallen on hard times and become something of an anti-legend due to its editor, named 'Rapper'. It has recently failed miserably but there have been claims that it will rise 'like a phonixe form the falmes'(sic).
tnman: This week's issue of The Fantuish Rap was proper bo, I tell thee.
Wasson: No it wasn't. I cannot say why, but I disagree because that's what I do.

Get the The Fantuish Rapmug. style of holding a microphone by or very close to the pop screen covering the actual pick up element. Despised by sound people because it prevents the mic from working the way it was designed. Made popular by rappers (and others) appearing in concert, tv, and film singing along with back up recording, ie vocal quallity of actual performance not as critical as a studio recording
