...take advantage / You can’t stand this / Looking like a four-eyed wooly mammoth,” rapped Forrest N. Blackwelder-Baggett ’11. Northeastern junior Benny D. Lombardo kept it simple: “Me against you rappin? / You sound like me when I’m crappin.” The crowd responded to every line, cheering the best remarks while booing the corny ones.
