Item: Battle of the Beach: Coeur d'Alene to host rap contest Saturday at City Park/Get Out! North Idaho.

OrangeTV: My experience rapping is 1) tried Missy Elliott's "Work It" one time on karaoke night and failed miserably. 2) recorded a song called "Trim Your Bush" for the 2004 election which featured a short rap including the lines "It's a hairy situation/to overthrow the administration/time for America to buy some razors/eliminate the haters." This is why I will definitely NOT be participating. However, it might be fun to check out at least. I just don't get enough opportunities to break out my oversized, diamond-encrusted "P" pendant. Bling bling!

Question: Have you ever tried to rap? Were you any good?
