About this lesson

Two MCs boast about whether dumplings or steamed buns are the tastiest food to eat.

How to practise

  1. Listen to the battle with the karaoke: each syllable lights up on the beat.
  2. Learn the hook: say each bar in the pause after its slow play.
  3. When the song comes back, rap the gaps in the hook yourself.
