Prelude.....
The Interview:
Q: After weeks and weeks of worldwide anticipation, it is finally time to unveil what can only be described as an epic in internet lyric battle competition. How does it feel?
Marcel: Well, it feels good. Very good.
Q: As you can see, the arena is packed to full capacity with thousands of die-hard fans and open-eyed spectactors. Are you nervous at all?
Marcel: Somewhat.
Q: As you probably know, this competition has been criticized by a huge sum of the population. There have been a lot of people bad-mouthing you, saying you're not a real MC, you can't rap, this whole competition is a big joke, no one will show up, etc. What do you have to say about that?
Marcel: I've heard the allegations and accusations, but I don't let it get to me. I mean, sure it's sickening, but you have to understand, any time you try to do something positive for the community, people will hate. But you can't let them pull you down.
Q: There have also been rumors floating around saying that the reason you set this event to begin on July 2nd is so you could have time to pre-write your verses. Is there any truth to that?
Marcel: Of course not. When I present the official rules and regulations of the contest, everyone will realize that it is impossible for me or anyone else to cheat using pre-written material.
Q: I understand there will be a half-time show featuring Destiny's Child, Redman, Missy Elliot and Phil Collins?
Marcel: I can't officially confirm or deny that at this moment. But I can say that there will be a half-time show. As for the special guests, negotiations are still under-way.
Q: How long will the competition last?
Marcel: I can't discuss that kind of information at this moment.
Q: Over the past several weeks, anticipation for this event has reached an all-time high...
Marcel: Yeah, I've done interviews with all the greats; MTV, BET, Entertainment Tonight, ESPN, The National Enquiror, Oprah. Just trying to get the word out. And now, the time has finally come.
Q: Well, I'm not going to hold up this event any longer. I'm looking forward to a great battle competition. Any last words?
Marcel: Yes. I'd just like to let everyone know that the pain is a-comin... right now.
