Q: How do you know that hip hop is dead?
A: When a dork like me finds a video of an eleven year old rapping on youtube.
This rap battle occurred about two months ago on www.kotdc.com between Xotix, a female rapper, versus Universe, a rapper that is eleven years of age. The battle happened in a chatroom rap league with others being judges while listening.
