CHARLTON, Mass. (AP) - Police in a Massachusetts town are warning residents to be on the lookout for men challenging passers-by to rap battles.
Charlton police told WCVB-TV that a black SUV containing a group of men in their late teens or early 20s pulled up next to three teenage boys Saturday afternoon.
One of the men got out of the vehicle and started rapping. The other men then asked the teens if they wanted to "spit some bars" with them. When the boys declined, the men drove off.

will justice ever come to these lawless towns?

[Daddy-of-war]

I for one would like a law to put a stop to this violent drive-by rap battles.

[Breadman]

Getting served can be painful to one's physical and mental state, so I can't blame them.

epic rap battles of charlton!
like, this is super weird but pretty funny to think of a bunch of dudes just randomly challenging complete strangers to a rap battle.

when the boys declined, the men drove off

Well I mean that's the only appropriate course of action, what else do you do in that situation?

[Pretender]

I wish drive-by rapping replaced drive-by shootings. Then again, if you humiliate someone hard enough they might kill themselves.

The obvious solution is to ban stanzas longer than 4 sentences. No one needs more than 4 lines to rap.

I'm a Mass. rappist

[Ear Blaster]

I would start christian rapping.

[gareth]

Thank christ they drove away, imagine what might've happened if they took up the challenge - males and rap is a potentially lethal concoction.. The USA seems like a VERY dangerous place as of late.

I watched 8 Mile so I feel I'm sufficiently experienced enough to handle myself well in such a dangerous situation.

Imagine if instead of school shootings we had incidences of troubled individuals slaying dozens with the sickest bars you've ever heard.

People would show up to watch gang wars.

[PersonalJesus69]

Since this made the news, I half expected them to be ending in beatings or shootings.

They just drive off... Wow.

[Chaotic Lord]

Scum of the earth. Forget "spitting bars", they belong BEHIND bars.

[JesterUK]

but supahot isn't a rapper

[cube]

rapping about jesus? i mean if you want to lose the rap battle and your dignity then sure

If someone properly worked bible wordplay into a 16 against me, Id take the L.
