Bill Shorten and Malcolm Turnbull Are Now Contending for the Title of Weakest Rapper Alive

The Prime Minister and the leader of opposition think it's funny to do rap disses but I don't think anyone's laughing.

There seems to be a trend of politicians trying to rap lyrical to increase their standings in the polls and we're not here for it.

Last week on The Project, Malcolm Turnbull offered his turn at "rapping" some "bars", which was a complete mess (skip to 2:25 for le cringe).

But just when you thought it couldn't possibly get any worse, Bill Shorten threw his hat in the metaphorical rapping politician ring (which no one asked for or deserved).

If we have to decide which one was slightly less brain cell-damaging, we'd have to go with Shorten because at least it was an actual verse with a slither of flow (being v generous).

But then he dabbed, so that's -20 points, making them pretty evenly attrocious.

Let's just hope this is our last glimpse of this miserable game of politicians rapping for (dis)likes.

Just so you can compare, I'm going to leave one of the smoothest freestyles in history here.
