Although we’ll take him any day over Malcolm Turnbull, to prove just how #down he is with the kids, old mate Shorten has faced off in a rap battle against Fitzy & Wippa on NOVA this morning. The Labor leader has put his sick flow to the test, throwing down serious BARS over 50 Cent’s iconic, In Da Club.

Please watch at your own risk.

Lil Shorten rapped about rapped about taking down his political adversary Turnbull, Question Time, and Tony Abbott’s views on same-sex marriage – who said hip hop ISN’T political anymore??

Fitzy & Wippa, beacons of all things cool, edgy and revolutionary went on to declare how they had more “street cred” than ole Shorten. We’re currently trying to relieve our eyes from extreme burning and cleanse our ears of the toxicity. BRB.
