Feudalism: The Middle Ages Rap
I used the song C.R.E.A.M (Cash rules everything around me) by Wu Tang and made it Castles Rise Everywhere Around Me. This song is all about the different social groups that took part in feudalism and the Manorial System. Here is a preview down below.
Serfs grew food on land that was arable
Being a peasant probably was terrible
Nobles and peasants are not comparable
Clothes were scarce so undies aren’t wearable
These ages were dark and the plague was black
But nothing was as scary as a Viking

King Henry VIII and Bloody Mary Rap: Going Back to Catholic
This song is based off the song by the Notorious BIG which is based off LL COOL J's going back to Cali. The first verse is based on Henry and the second verse is based off of Mary Tudor. Girls always volunteer to do the part of Bloody Mary. Very rarely do I have to rap the Bloody Mary part.
