Like others, Andrew Dudley of Haighteration was baffled by the many, many, many $2000 Rap Contest flyers that seemingly popped up all over San Francisco this past weekend. To find our more, Dudley, called the posted number to find out. Haighteration reports:
Turns out the flyer is for the 2Racks Rap Contest, created and hosted by San Francisco-based poet/rapper Sellassie. The contest is billed as “a fast-paced, single-elimination rap competition where emcees perform original songs head to head in front of celebrity and industry professional judges, competing for a $2000 cash prize.”
Other cities, like Chicago, Atlanta, Honolulu, Orlando, Seattle, and Los Angeles, will also host a throwdown. San Francisco's goes down on August 20.
