Mr Bruff vs Skepta: IGCSE Rap FIRE IN THE BOOTH (FIRE IN THE BRUFF?)
[Freestyle]
You know I heard this track in the car today on radio 1
And I thought - you know what?! This would be good for a revision rap!
But, the exams tomorrow so I thought, I'll quickly whip this out, put it out tonight and take it off tomorrow!
[Verse]
Tomorrow is the day of the exam for igcse
People been messaging me all day like Mc Bruff help me please
Bank holiday revision won't you just help me
OK, let's see
Extended - start with question 1
If you want 20 out of 20, for marks to be full it
Means you got to give equal balance to each of the three bullets
One and to are explicit - the info is easy to find
But for that third bullet point, you've got to put in the hard work and grind
That third bullet point, the info for that one is hidden and
Implicit
If you ain't prepared for that, bruv you gonna miss it
Try to find 5 things for each, then put them into your own words
Don't worry about finding synonyms for everything - just focus on the verbs
Remember timing: there's only 45 minutes for the question
That means you gotta be concise, no time to waste on messing
Question 2 is 30 minutes, language analysis like we all know
But with 8 quotes to analyse, you can't afford to be slow
Choose your quotes carefully - no marks if you got the wrong ones
Define the literal meaning, then explain the advanced connotation
Question 3 is the easiest find 15 things in the source you can take a quote directly, the words don't even have to be yours
Then on the 3b you summaries the whole lot in your own words
3b's only worth 5 marks, just do it in a quick burst
3as the most important, for 15
But it's not actually as easy as it seems
7 or 8 will come easy, the rest are implicit again
Spend time looking hard - there's easy marks to gain
[freestyle]
Yeah, this rap is insane
You may not like it... But... Play it again!
