Showdown time! Alright so I've done a side-by-side comparison with this and Yug Guy's arrangement while listening to the original.

Sebastian and Olimar have informed me that Yug Guy's arrangement contains some wrong notes (if one of you could point that out, that would be great), so I went to judge the other aspects of the arrangements:

- Visually, Olimar's looks cleaner. Sizing and stave spacing make it compact without any loss of clarity. Yug Guy's sheet deviates from the hypermeter, changing horizontal spacing, and the rap staff is placed quite close to the piano staff above, making the distinction between systems less clear.
- Yug Guy's sheet is more "complete" in the sense that the rap part is written out where the piano overlaps it, but I prefer the layout that Olimar has because the rap is written out as pitched notes, making it easier for someone to adapt it to piano if they desire. The diamond noteheads give the rap a contour so that you can tell where it rises and falls. Although I must say that I think the pitched notes written out sound a bit odd sometimes played as written.
- I do like the accompanying chords (like in m. 9-16) an octave up better, but either way is fine.

Uh... I think that's everything I thought about just now. After such an assessment, I would be inclined to go with Olimar's arrangement for the site.

After some discussion, Yug Guy has decided to take his submission down...

Great work.
