2Jacketz Literary Rap Concert

This past Thursday, Sulli’s own 2Jacketz Nation hosted an event in the library, a fitting place to hold a Literary Rap Concert.  After noisily lining up in the foyer, we gleefully filed inside the library, and crowded up to the stage, which was, in actuality, just all the desks available pushed together.  Once everyone was packed inside, Mr. Begg hopped up onto the stage and gave a brief intro, occasionally interrupted by himself and his assistant Horatio (based on the Shakespearean character) throwing ring-pops into the crowd.  Obviously, this was so we could become as blinged up as they were.  Then the first piece began, a poem written and performed by Gatzby (based on the F. Scott Fitzgerald character).

“There has never been a day when I can walk down the street with blank eyes.

I saturate, associate, yeah, create narrations about the mundane inclinations of life.

And juxtapose the decrepit with the prose, which unscrolls itself before me,

A movie reel of parnassum beauty, projecting its fantastical hues upon the clouded expanses of the city.

You see, words have always been a part of me.

From the fumbling syllables and clunky consonants of second grade reading lessons,

To the pilgrimages made to the dust-shrouded bookshelves of the clouds

Those syntaxes have stitched themselves into the synapses of my mind.”

After the opening act, the official rap concert began.  The Wolfpack, assisted by Hazelle David, performed a slightly… modified, (and considerably cooler,) version of the Reading Rainbow theme.  It was great.

The event concluded with Mr. Begg presenting to the crowd a copy of the 2Jacketz comic book, telling the story of his defeat of Santa Claus, the greatest menace our world has ever seen.  Just then, said Great Menace turned up behind the crowd, proclaiming that Mr. Begg’s account of events was dramatically different than the truth.  He then challenged Mr. Begg and 2Jacketz to a battle, which will occur at the Winter Extravaganza this year.  Presumably this fight is to the death.

It’s time to pick sides:

“Santa And The Elves” or “Begg And 2Jacketz.”  May the best team’s name be honoured throughout history.
