Synopsis
One day at the snack bar, Alpha Dog, Demel-ishun, Blitz Comet and the CrewCrew have been challenging people to rap battles, with all of them losing, including one nicknamed Big Trouble. Pops shows up and tries to beat them with poetry, but he gets humiliated. Angered, Pops challenges them to a rap duel. Mordecai and Rigby try to help Pops with the rapping because Pops cannot rap, he can only recite poetry. However, Pops refuses to rap negativity against the CrewCrew, so he decides to stick with poetry. Soon, Mordecai and Rigby realize the beauty of poetry, but they decide not to go after poetry and call Pops a loser. Skips tells Mordecai to help Pops, and they go there to try and settle the score.

Production notes
Cartoon Network ordered six episodes on August 13, 2009.
Each show is composed of two 11-minute episodes.
Developed as an animated short for Cartoon Network's Cartoonstitute.
Two groundskeepers, Mordecai (a six-foot-tall blue jay) and Rigby (a hyperactive raccoon), are best friends who spend their days trying to entertain themselves by any means necessary, much to the displeasure of Benson (their boss, who is a gumball machine) and to the delight of Pops (an older, lollipop-headed gentleman). Their everyday pursuits often lead to things spiraling out of control and into the surreal: they open portals to other dimensions, summon demons via an '80s arcade game and accidentally use choreographed dance moves to send co-workers to the moon. All in a typical day's work on Regular Show.
