Sports Olympic Rap Battle: Michael Phelps Vs. Amanda Beard

There’s blood in the water. Tuesday, on 93.7 KRQ Tucson’s “Johnjay and Rich in the Morning” radio show, Olympic swimmer and model Amanda Beard made a few sideways comments about fellow USA Olympian and national hero Michael Phelps. When asked if they were dating or had kissed, she replied, “Eww, that’s so nasty! … Come on, I have really good taste.” Phelps, who is drowning under eight fresh gold medals (not to mention endorsements and groupie love), has brushed it off, and Beard has apologized for making jokes at his expense.

Of course, Complex couldn’t let it die with such a minimal splash. We imagined the swimmers using their breath control to battle. It’s no race to the finish, just a test of rap skills. Check out the verses below and vote on who leaves who wet up.

Kicks of the Day Jordan Olympian

Looks like Jordan Brand is beating you over-anxious sneaker bloggas to the punch, by leaking the majority of their fall releases (besides the retros of course) on their website. The latest hybrid-type sneaker that JB will put out is this Olympian, a Jordan X with a funky twist. Given the name of the silhouette, expect the big push for these to come during the heart of the Beijing Olympics.
