The Mac Lethal ‘You’re VS. Your’ rap is a grammatical rapping spit-fire. Lethal raps over the popular track Goyte’s ‘Somebody I Used To Know,’ educating the grammatically impaired. Making the direct connection with the song, stating grammar was something that people, “used to know,” Lethal may have single-handedly launched a [new sub-genre of hip hop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-rapper-music).

In an Internet world full of short forms and abbreviations, Lethal takes a stand; specifically, against people who mix up “you’re” and “your.” Many Internet users would applaud Mac Lethal for his epic lines, such as, “when they [argue on the Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roast-my-chat)/but trying to debate with them is harmful like a cigarette/you try to outsmart these stupid jerks but you never win.”

This intelligent rap provides a hilariously honest perspective that will hopefully inspire a return of the [lost art of grammar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supertext).
