Ten minutes later, I thought he left, I was talking across the room to my boss that...

"I hope that rap guy doesn't come because I get really cringed out when people freestyle for some reason. Especially if it's bad. I hope the guy is good, he could end up being really good, but like even professional freestylers make me cringe hard for some reason. It's like that feeling when you watch a really awkward episode of the Office but it's when people rap in front of me."

Silence.

I look up. White rap dude didn't leave. He's standing right there. I almost exploded and my phase into a walking talking ironic cringe machine had finished. Only thing I said before he left was "well, I hope you uhhhhhh prove me wrong, man".

F*ck.

Did he look like Fred Durst? That's how I pictured him when I read your story.

If you show a bit of computer skill, it's a file named "transparent_pixel.gif" and it's literally 1x1 in size.

What makes it more cringe than written rapping?

Tbh I find most Hip-Hop to be cringe worthy these days. Can't remember the last time I listened to something and liked it.

I guess just that if someone is rambling off a bunch of stuff they're making up on the spot, it's likely to be a bunch of nonsense. I might also be confusing some freestyle with battle rap. I find the idea of two men boasting and chest-bumping at each other through improvised rhyme schemes to be hilarious in all of the worst ways.

1. Freestylers generally have a terrible sense of when to freestyle and who wants to hear it.
2. The hand gestures.
