Usain Bolt slays James Corden in rap battle


Usain Bolt can rap as well as he runs. OK, that's not even close to being true, but he's still pretty good at it. Good enough to take down Late Late Show host James Corden in a freestyle battle, at least.

Corden may have lost, but he definitely held his own. He got off to quite the start with a powerful Michael Phelps punchline.

Athletes aren't great at math, so I hope this helps / You have 14 gold medals less than Michael Phelps

Bolt came back strong by busting out his gold medals (always a baller move) and then clinched the battle with this one:

So you saw Cool Runnings on your couch one night / while I was in the gym making that move my life / I'm the fastest human being in the history of racing / You're the host of lowest show in the history of ratings

Easily the most impressive feat of Bolt's career.
