The emcee olympics are another event held at Louder than a Bomb. LTAB is a week long "festival" if you would. The Emcee olympics are the exact opposite of the slam itself. where in the slam its celebrated when a poet brings his or her vulnerability to the stage, at the emcee olympics, there is nothing grand about it. it is a sheer display of machismo and funny puns thrown back and forth. there was a girl who went up to battle, and she had really intricate rhymes, btu she was disqualified because she wasn't as comfortable on stage as the guys were and the judges were all dudes who favored the machismo attitude.

in the last round the two last standing "poets" went face to face and had to flatter eachother. since the two up on stage seemed to be good friends, this was very difficult for them because, well, it just ain't their style to give compliments to eachother. That was what made it hillarious. one dude said "I love your jeans, no seriously though, cause your pockets are at your knees, and...thir easier to get to." it was just a bunch of fun.
