8 Mile - Eminem's Final Rap Battles
"Out of all the vague things you could say, I think this one takes the cake." Blake said with a raised eyebrow.
Cosmo laughed "Nah! I haven't started to get vague!"
"Do you're saying it only gets worse from here?" Weiss asked.
Cosmo nodded enthusiastically and almost everyone groaned.
"Well look on the bright side guys," Oscar said as the all looked at him and he blushed in embarrassment "It keeps us on our toes for what we're gonna see next."
"I guess you're right." Coco said.
"Still a pain the ass though." Roman said.
"Hey! He just woke up from another nap, please don't swear in front of him." Terra asked as she pointed at Adrien who was waving his arms and smiling.
"But I've been swearing all my life, you can't filter the artistic poetry that comes out of my mouth." Roman stated flamboyantly as Neo nodded as she clapped her hands.
"Well you're gonna have to start now!" Saphron shouted.
"Well…not really." Cosmo said as he poofed nous cancelling headphones onto Adrien's ears.
"What the!? Why'd you give him these?" Saphron asked as Adrian grinned at the lack of sound.
"Cause this next one has a whole lot of swears that your kid shouldn't probably hear." Cosmo said.
Mercury smirked "Nice."
"At least warn a person first." Terra said.
"Hey I've got a kid at home too, you think I wouldn't know what's appropriate for children?" Cosmo asked sassily "I'm a literal fairy for children too y'know!"
"Wait, you have a kid!?" Winter asked in shock as well frankly everyone else was shocked too.
"Yup!" Cosmo replied with a grin.
'What mad woman married this guy!?' Watts thought.
'Impossible!' Glynda thought.
'Heh fairies can get it on too I see~' Tyrian thought with a smirk.
'Pancakes~' Nora thought with a smirk of her own.
"Is it another song!?" Ruby exclaimed happily.
"Kinda." Cosmo replied as he Poofed back to his seat "You decide!"
The dimension began by showing Cardin with a black eye as he wore a black beanie and a white long-sleeved shirt. He stood on a stage in front of a crowd with Neptune standing in front of him and Taiyang standing between them as he held a Mic.
"Weird way to start it but ok." Neptune said.
"What's going on in this one?" Whitley asked.
"I have no idea but it looks like their gonna fight." Yang said with a smirk.
"Really? Neptune's so got this in the bag." Sun said with a grin.
"I mean Cardin already looks like he took a beating, not much of a surprise really, I wonder why he's coming back for another one." Weiss said.
"Because I never give up." Cardin stated.
"Or you're just stupid." Coco said.
"Ooh I like that option better." Velvet agreed with a nod as Cardin frowned.
"Hosting underground fights and I'm not even there? I'm hurt Tai." Raven teased.
"Oh well maybe you've got other things to do." Taiyang said as he chuckled nervously.
"Yeah like plan to kill your best friend." Summer said.
"I didn't plan to kill you," Raven said as Summer smiled at her "I sang to kill you."
Summer let out crocodile tears and hugged the person closest to her which was coincidentally Raven.
"Watch the hair Sum Sum!" Raven exclaimed.
"It's your turn, baby. 45 seconds. Let this motherfucker feel it!" Taiyang exclaimed over the mic as he turned to the DJ "Alright. Yo DJ spin that shit!"
"Swear, swear, swear. Dad you owe the jar your entire bank account." Ruby said as she looked at Taiyang who sighed at that and the fact that Glynda was sending a searing glare at him.
"45 seconds? DJ? What kind of fight is this!?" Yang exclaimed.
"Maybe they want ambiance?" Junior guessed.
"But the 45 seconds don't make sense." Winter said.
"Do they really not believe in you that much that they only gave you 45 seconds?" Coco asked with a laugh.
"Maybe all I need is 45 seconds to beat him." Cardin said with a smirk.
Silence filled the room as Neptune burst out laughing and almost everyone joined him as Cardin frowned.
The music started as Cardin held the Mic as he let glaring at Neptune.
"C'mon Rabbit!" Nora cheered from the crowd.
"Cheering for him feels wrong." Nora said as the rest of her team nodded in agreement.
"Don't choke this time." Neptune stated with a smirk.
"Choke?" Blake asked.
Mercury clapped his hands "I got it! Rap battles! This is a rap battle!"
"Oh yeah, the music and time and crowd. This is a rap battle." Emerald said as she finally recognised the scene.
"Neptune can rap?" Scarlet asked.
"Cardin can rap?" Jaune asked.
"Yes…" Both Neptune and Cardin stated with nervous smirks.
"Sure…" Weiss said as she rolled her eyes.
"How crude." Glynda said as she folded her arms.
Ozpin chuckled "Don't fret Glynda, maybe this will give us a new perspective on what goes on in the streets of Vale."
A beat up Oscar nodded his head along to the beat as Cardin bobbed his head to the beat.
"Woah what happened to you?" Yang asked in concern.
Oscar shrugged as most wondered how this would play out.
"He's gonna choke." Neptune chuckled.
"All right, look." Cardin said as he kept bobbing his head to the beat as Melanie was shown in the crowd as a person shouted that he was choking and Yatsuhashi and Fox were shown looking at each other then back at the stage.
"Y'know I think this is the first time you two showed up in one of these." Coco said in surprise.
"Yeah you're right." Velvet said as she gasped.
"Strange but a nice sense of progression." Fox said.
"Wait how are you able to see all of these things?" Coco asked.
"Oh didn't I tell you? Cosmo came to talk to me as I went to the bathroom yesterday and he gave me my sight back." Fox said.
"And you didn't tell us why!?" Coco exclaimed.
Fox shrugged "I thought you noticed."
"Oh my god." Coco sighed as she face palmed.
"Hey, yo. This guy raps like his parents jerked him. He sounds like Erick Sermon, the generic version. This whole crowns looks suspicious. It's all dudes here, except for these bitches." Cardin rapped as the crowd reacted and the camera showed Neptune's group which consisted of Sun, Jaune, Pyrrha, Oscar and Ren.
"Damn!" Emerald exclaimed.
"Okay that was a good one." Mercury stayed with a laugh.
"Such vulgarity!" Glynda exclaimed.
"I know right!" Saphron exclaimed, she was now glad that Adrian was wearing the headphones.
"Hey not cool man!" Jaune shouted.
"I do not appreciate being called that." Pyrrha said with a growl.
"So I'm a German, eh? That's okay. You look like a fuckin' worm with no brains." Cardin continued as the crowd were hyped "These leaders of the Free World rookies. Lookie, how can six dicks be pussies?"
"Hey!?" Oscar exclaimed
"Why are you insulting all of us!?" Pyrrha exclaimed.
"I think you guys did something bad to him." Ruby said.
"What could they have possibly done to him that he hasn't already done?" Weiss asked.
"Our Cardin may be a bad dude but that Cardin could be a completely different guy." Ruby reasoned.
"I mean he does rap so yeah that checks out." Ren said.
"Talkin' about shit's creek? Bitch, you could be up piss creek with paddles this deep. You're still gonna sink. You're a disgrace. Yeah, they call me Rabbit. This is a turtle race." Cardin continued.
Oobleck chuckled "Good wordplay of the classic story of the tortoise and the hare."
"The swear jar is just gonna explode at this point." Ruby said.
Cosmo grinned "Yup! And there's more to come!"
"He can't get with me, spitting this shit. Wickedly lickety shot suspicious society split lickety." Cardin rapped and the crowd ate it up.
"Chica, chica bam!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Don't. Ever. Do. That. Ever!" Weiss said with a glare.
"Now I'm gonna turn around with a great smile. And wall my white ass back across 8 Mile." Cardin finished as he walked away from Neptune while showing his ass as the crowd cheered and the beat stopped.
"And that's a knockout!" Roman announced.
"All in 45 seconds!" Taiyang exclaimed "You linguistic genius!"
"Take some notes Ice Queen, maybe it'll help with your names." Qrow said as he smirked.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Winter stated with her arms folded.
"Eww! I never wanna see your ass again!" Yang exclaimed as her face scrunched up in disgust.
"Both of them!" Coco shouted.
"Neptune I'm sorry man." Scarlet said.
"No way! I could've won! Just let me come up with a comeback!" Neptune complained.
"You know that's not how these things work, take that L and move on." Harriet stated.
The scene transitioned into the next battle with Sun now standing in front of Cardin who held the same look he had for Neptune.
"Here comes a new challenger!" Sun exclaimed as he smirked "You're about to get destroyed!"
Cardin rolled his eyes "Aren't you supposed to be wiping your boyfriend's tears over there?"
"I'm not crying!" Neptune shouted.
"You can't fuck with us." Jaune stated at his group's side while the crowd waited for Cardin to start rapping.
"Jaune!" Saphron shouted.
"Not me!" Jaune exclaimed in fear.
"This Jaune seems a little too cocky for my tastes." Ren said.
"You noticed that?" Nora asked.
"I think we're all starting to notice that." Weiss said.
"Come on, Rabbit!" Yatsuhashi cheered.
"Why do they call you rabbit anyway?" Coco asked.
"I…" Cardin muttered something quietly.
"Yes?" Ruby asked as she leaned closer.
Cardin blushed "Rabbits are my favourite animals…"
Velvet jaw dropped along with multiple students as Cardin frowned and looked away, keeping his tough façade.
"Aww that's so cute!" Nora exclaimed.
"No it ain't! And it doesn't matter, move on!" Cardin shouted with embarrassment clear in his voice.
Multiple thoughts ran through Velvet's mind as she stared at Cardin and she knows that she should hate him but this new revelation just completely shifted her mind set and she was utterly confused on what to think of him at this point.
"Sun, I think you were a little hard on the Beaver. So was Eddie Haskell, Wally and Ms Cleaver." Cardin dissed and the crowd loved it "This guy keeps screamin', he's paranoid. Quick, someone get his ass another steroid."
"Oh!" Emerald exclaimed along with Mercury, Cinder, Roman, Harriet, Robyn and Yang.
"Hey, I don't use steroids! This is all natural!" Sun said as he flexed and smirked.
"Careful, you almost sound like Juandissimo." Blake said but then Ilia shushed her.
"Don't say his name!" Ilia whispered as she looked around "He could be listening at any second."
" "Blah-badi-boo-blah, bah-badi-boo-blah!". I ain't hear a word you said: "Hippity hoopla!"" Cardin continued "Is that a tank-top or a new bra? Look Zoop Zwei just got a fuckin' boobjob."
"It takes skill to say random gibberish and manage to diss them with it." Qrow said with a smirk, he liked the kid's wordplay.
"I never knew that about him." Yang said.
"Knew what about who?" Ruby asked.
"Sun!" Yang exclaimed as Sun looked at her "He's a woman!"
Sun deadpanned as laughs reverberated throughout the theatre and he made official that this was a close second to the his most hated dimensions, the first still being The Creep.
"Didn't you listen to the last round, meathead? Pay attention, you're sayin' the same shit that he said." Cardin said as he pointed at Neptune who threatened him "Matter of fact, dawg, here's a pencil. Go home, write some shit, make it suspenseful. And don't come back until somethin' dope hits you. Fuck it, you can take the mic home with you."
"He is destroying the poor guy!" Mercury exclaimed as he laughed.
"Cardin please! You can't set people on fire like that!" Harriet laughed as Cardin chuckled.
"Why aren't I doing anything!?" Sun exclaimed in frustration.
"Rap battles man, gotta respect the rules or nobody is gonna respect you." Emerald stated.
"This is actually a much safer way to resolve conflict." Amber said as they looked at her since she barely spoke and she blushed "Street wise I mean."
"She's quite correct, if more gangs and thugs would solve their problems through rapping then the crime rate would lower." Penny analysed.
"Lookin' like a cyclone hit you. Tank-top screamin', "Sun, I don't fit you!". You see how far the white jokes get you. Boys like, "How Vanilla Ice gon' diss you?"." Cardin dissed and crowed loved it but time was up and Taiyang signalled to the DJ who cut the music but Cardin kept going "My motto: "Fuck Sun yo!" I get the seven digits from your mother for a dollar tomorrow."
"KO!" Roman shouted as half the room cheered as Sun glared at Cardin.
"What'd you say about my mom!?" Sun shouted.
"Chill monkey boy, don't take it so personally." Cardin said which caused Sun to growl.
"I feel as if these battles would be doing the opposite and insisting more gang violence." Glynda estimated.
Port shrugged "They're for the sake of entertainment and I am all for it!"
The crowd cheered as Sun looked defeated and the scene changed to the last battle as Jaune now stood in front of Cardin.
"Is it wrong that I'm actually cheering for Cardin this time?" Blake asked.
"Funny how these things completely change your perspective on people." Yang said as she wanted Cardin to win as well.
"Traitor! Jaune's our friend and I support him 100%!!" Ruby exclaimed as Jaune grinned.
"Yeah! I can beat him! Just watch, I'll send Cardin packin'!" Jaune stated.
Cardin chuckled "Don't count your chickens before they hatch Arc."
"Final battle, start!" Marrow stated in a deep voice as Harriet and Elm chuckled.
Cardin was now in a tank top as he turned to the crowd "Now, everybody from the 313. Put your motherfucking hands up and follow me! Everybody from the 313, put your motherfucking hands up!"
Yang, Blake, Harriet, Elm, Emerald, Mercury, Roman, Cinder, Robyn, Miltia, Melanie, Amber, Tyrian, Qrow, Taiyang, Vernal, Oobleck, Port and Velvet put their hands up.
"Velvet!?" Coco asked in shock.
Velvet shrugged "This Cardin is the underdog; I love these kind of stories."
"I have no idea what the 313 is but I'mma do this anyway!" Tyrian exclaimed.
"Agreed!" Those with their hands up exclaimed.
"Look, look…Now, while he stands tough. Notice that this man did not have his hand up. This Free World's got you gassed up. Now, who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" Cardin asked as he turned to the crowd "One, two, three and to the four. One Pac, two Pac, three Pac, four. Four Pac, three Pac, two Pac, one. You're Pac, he's Pac, no Pac, none."
"Such masterful wordplay." Salem chuckled 'He's almost as good as Ozma was with poetry…'
"Jaune you better pick up steam because Cardin is beating your entire crew." Yang stated.
"Don't worry, I've got a comeback…I hope." Jaune said with a gulp.
"This guy ain't no motherfucking MC. I know everything he's 'bout to say against me! I am white, I am a fucking bum! I do live in a trailer with my mom! My boy Tai is an Uncle Tom!" Cardin shouted as Taiyang shook his head in denial "I do got a dumb friend named Thunder Nora, who shoots herself in her leg with her own gun!"
"Wait what?" Nora asked with wide eyes.
"Why is this idiot exposing himself!?" Emerald shouted.
"He's just giving Arc more ammunition!" Mercury shouted.
Jaune smiled and sighed "Well looks like I won."
Velvet listened intently at what the other Cardin was saying and noticed how their Cardin was tensing up at the mention of his mom and him being a bum.
"I did get jumped by all six of you chumps! And Oscar did fuck my girl, I'm still standing here screaming, "Fuck the Free World!"" Cardin shouted as he gave Oscar the middle finger.
Everyone was just quiet and shocked by the seemingly impossible predicaments and the blatant confessions Cardin was making.
"Uh…" Qrow voiced but he just couldn't say anything at the moment.
"Don't ever try to judge me, dude! You don't even know what the fuck I've been through!" Cardin shouted.
Everyone looked at Cardin who was looking to the floor and Velvet noticed that some tears were sliding down the sides of his cheeks.
"Cardin?" Jaune asked but he received no answer.
"But I know something about you. You went to Beacon, that's a private school. What's the matter, dawg you mad that I saw? This guy's a gangster? His real name's Jaune. And Jaune lives at home with both parents. And Jaune's parents have a real good marriage. This guy don't wanna battle, he's shook. Cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks!" Cardin shouted as the crowd shouted with him.
"Halfway crooks!" The criminals shouted as well since they knew the saying as well.
"Yeah Jaune I don't think there's a comeback to all of this at all." Blake said.
"He's scared to death; he's scared to look at his fucking yearbook; fuck Cranbrook!" Cardin shouted as Taiyang signalled the DJ and the music cut off but Cardin continued anyway "Fuck a beat, I'll go a cappella. Fuck a Papa Doc, fuck a clock, fuck a trailer. Fuck everybody! Fuck y'all if you doubt me! I'm a piece of fucking white trash, I say it proudly! And fuck this battle, I don't wanna win, I'm outtie. Here tell these people something they don't know about me." Cardin stated as he threw the mic into Jaune's hands.
Nora's eye twitched as she let out a shouted "DON D'MARCO!!!"
"What?" Pyrrha asked in confusion and shock.
"I don't know it just popped out like I had to say it!" Nora exclaimed in confusion as well.
"This kid took all the ammo he gave you and turned it into a ticking time bomb then threw it back at you!" Harriet shouted as she laughed at Jaune "Genius!"
"Cardin?" Velvet asked.
"Leave me alone." Cardin stated.
"How is he even gonna fight back when Cardin put all his cards on the table?" Sun asked.
Roman smirked "He can't."
"Did Mr. Winchester really struggle so much? He's files say the exact opposite of what this Cardin said." Glynda asked sceptically.
Ozpin didn't answer as he sipped his tea while looking at Cardin.
Cardin stared at Jaune as the crowd cheered and he sat down.
"Papa Doc? What you gonna do?" Taiyang asked "DJ! A minute and a half! Spin that shit!"
The beat started as Jaune stood there with the mic. He looked at the crowd and tried to rap but he couldn't come up with anything and the crowd started challenging him as Cardin looked over at him as he was waiting as well. He gave up and handed the mic over to Taiyang as the crowd cheered and he left with his crew as Taiyang started announcing.
"We got a new champion! C-Rabbit! C-Rabbit!" Taiyang shouted as the crowd cheered louder.
"Fuck Free World! 313!" The crowd chanted as Cardin looked over to Melanie who smiled and gave him the middle finger and he did the same.
"C-Rabbit! C-Rabbit! C-Rabbit!" The crowd chanted and cheered.
Most cheered and some were just spiteful and tried to ignore their losses while Velvet stood up and approached Cardin who was surprisingly wasn't cheering.
"Dude you just got destroyed!" Yang shouted.
"Total knockout!" Mercury exclaimed.
"What?" Cardin asked as he looked at her "Came to swear at me? Hit me? Go ahead."
Cardin widened his eyes in surprise when Velvet hugged him, she looked at him and smiled "Watching that was fun, especially when you beat Juan. Cardin you may be a mean lug but that's not you at heart, even you deserve forgiveness and I'll do it through a hug."
Cardin was frozen at first but the tears started streaming down his face as he hugged her back and after a few moments he chuckled.
"Cardin?" Velvet asked.
"That…was terrible. Thanks Velvet." Cardin said as he smiled at her.
"Well I'm not much of a rapper." Velvet said with a shrug.
"Please don't ever rap again." Cardin chuckled.
Velvet smiled and nodded as Coco spoke "Hey Velvet! Get over here!"
Velvet shook her head "I think I'll sit with Cardin for a while."
"You really don't have to." Cardin said as Velvet held his hand with a shake of her head.
"I want to." Velvet stated as Coco raised an eyebrow and sent Cardin a warning glare before sitting down.
"When you want to talk, I'll listen." Velvet said.
"I always did wonder, do those ears of yours give you like extra super hearing? Cause that would be cool." Cardin asked.
"Well…" Velvet started to explain and they talked while others stared in shock.
"What is happening?" Ruby asked.
"I don't know!" Nora exclaimed.
Cosmo poofed to the front "Well what'd you think?"
"Very insightful." Ozpin said with a smile.
"Yeah." Cardin said as he looked over at velvet.
"Jaune's crew got bodied though!" Emerald exclaimed and most agreed.
"Bang! Bang!" Mercury imitated gunshots as Roman laughed.
"That may have been one of the worst." Neptune said.
"No wonder they named you Neptune." Harriet said.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Neptune asked.
"King Neptune? King of the Ocean aka the king of salt." Harriet dissed as Elm laughed and Neptune frowned.
Cosmo laughed as he poofed the headphones on Adrien's head away "Well this one got a little more serious but the next one is gonna be awesome and sad at the same time."
"That doesn't sound good." Qrow stated.
"What is it?" Ruby asked with a nervous gulp.
"The next one is gonna show a great hero fall but boy does he go down swinging!" Cosmo exclaimed.
