What started in the UK with telco’s O2 and Tesco, a rap battle over twitter has now reached Australia. While most competitors will avoid mentioning the name of a competitor like they’d avoid a hungry zombie, it seems this afternoon something very different and refreshing played out online.
After Nehad Kenanie (@nehadk) tweeted the following, the creative 140 characters of rap was picked up by local telcos Vodafone and Telstra.
Best thing on twitter ever. @O2 vs @tescomobile rap battle. Two telcos going at. @VodaphoneAU @Telstra & @Optus could learn a thing or two.

Over the following 2 hours the Aussie geek version of an Eminem rhyme broke out. Not to be left out, iiNet also jumped on stage with no word from Optus, I guess they’re bust serving customers. The tweets are pretty funny and as we approach 5pm on Friday, let’s hope the drunk talk turns inappropriate soon.
