Pi vs Tau Rap Battle
So some years ago in school, there was an extra credit assignment for Pi Day (March 14). I had some inclination toward writing poems (I still have this which is why I am intending to continue posting poems on my page), but figured that a Pi Poem would be too lame to present to my peers. So I went more... hip and wrote a Pi vs Tau Rap Battle. Tau is 6.28318530718... it's 2 x pi. Here it is in all its nerdy glory.
As the Challenger, Tau goes first.
Tau:
I Tau-er [tower] over competition, namely Pi
I got most mathematicians by my side.
Man, twice of your power belongs to me
I start with a 6 you start with a 3.
More useful for the unit circle, Radians Baby!
Being kind I'll give you half of a verse. Maybe.
Pi:
I'm Pi, here we go! Bringing up the celebration.
3.14-15-926 Sing it nation!
A constant debate, sure to infuriate
'Cause Pi comes out on top, no one knows June 28.
Recognized everywhere, math symbol number 1.
Now I wait for your rebuttal, I bet this will be fun.
Tau:
628-318-5307-18
Tau coming in strong, Pi brings too little, too late.
Am I 2 Pi, or are you just one half Tau?
Being the champion, I think I write the definitions now.
Well seeing that's established, my work here is done.
I'll be accepting your resignation in 3, 2, 1...
Pi:
I'm never resigning. You can't make me quit.
My position in mathematics is just too legit.
People are dedicated to me, they know my digits in the thousands.
No one memorises you: "6.28? Eh I'll just round it."
A battle on Pi Day, Tau just can't win.
So as he throws in the Tau-el [towel], crowd chants "Finish Him!"
That makes your record 0 and 1, and gone is his grin.
The crowd and I agree that today
PI WINS
