NYT: Our Year In Rap Contest

It’s time to brush up on your news because The New York Times Our Year in Rap Student Contest is baaaaaack!

Here are the deets on the contest: Write 12 to-16-hot bars about the craziness that happened in the news this year.

You choose the topic.

It can be anything: The Michael Brown and Eric Garner verdicts, doping in baseball, the girls abducted in Nigeria, 12 Years a Slave director winning the Oscar and Donald Sterling’s racist remarks.

Flocabulary, the educational hip-hop heads, will pick the winning entries, and the winners will have their rhymes published on The New York Times site and on Flocabulary’s.

All entries are due Jan 7th at 7am EST.

My advice? Brush up on 2014’s shenanigans, including the team that won the World Cup before you enter.
