Hi hello I did the math finding syllables per second for the rap at 2:56 and Guns and Ships, and Plankton actually rapped faster.
In 14 seconds, Plankton rapped 121 syllables, which averaged to about 8.64 sps. In the equivalent of 22 seconds (without all the interruptions) Lafayette rapped 172 syllables, which averaged to about 7.82 sps. In 14 seconds of Guns and Ships, 118 syllables were rapped, averaging to about 8.43 sps.
Also, in the first 3 seconds, Plankton rapped 20 words.

And as far as I'm aware, Wesley has gotten nada

“Oh Karen! It’s evil! It’s diabolical! It’s LEMON-SCENTED!”

[cordiallypstar]

Coming up as one of many
Mom and Dad had plenty more of me
And 20/20 vision, never had it
So I had to be a devastating, coversating, luminous communicator
Hoping later every hater of this tiny little nerdy me would pay
Never heard of me? Okay,
I AM A GIANT
I don’t give it up, I live it up
Floating in the saline
Running from the balene
A celebrated single cell of cilliated, cerebellic genius.
HA. HA. HA.

In my opinion Karen and plankton have the best lines in the entire production

[endermon]

Friend: What is your favorite rap song?
Me: It's complicated.

[gokuwrightattorneyatlaw]

"Come on Sheldon, you couldn't rap if your life depended on it."

[evelynkanitz]

1:00 Fun Fact: If you listen closely right after Spongebob says "I am simply shocked!" you can hear Plankton groan in frustration.

[evelynkanitz]

During the dance sequence, I was surprised that Wesley Taylor was able to dance w/ a Plankton puppet attached to his foot.

[kylepaperbook]

Bro this would've been absolutely if they included Karen's beatboxing. Just adding the rap and the beatboxing would make this song a s c e n d.

[ananas]

This is WAY better than the original recording

[evelynkanitz]

I'm surprised that Plankton can even rap.

[RhysezPieces]

On the debate over whether the Live! or soundtrack version is better, I raise:
The soundtrack version captures Plankton’s tv tone and voice (deep and sinister)
Live! captures Plankton’s personality and plays more into Spongebob being a cartoon show at heart (light and comedic)

[tubahuman]

The live versions are so much better than the studio recordings it’s crazy. You get all the lines, character moments, sound effects, and soooo much more energy.

[Mr.Awesome]

This version of the song just feels more like plankton than the cast version and the rap is a better end than the cast version

[samirahernandez]

Who raps faster, Plankton or Lafayette from Hamilton.


Like for Plankton. Comment if u think its Lafayette.

[Hapsetshut]

Never did I ever expect to be so attracted to Plankton in my life

[plumberina]

When he says “get the fish out” do you think he means that fish is like replacing the f word “get the f*** out” or is he actually talking about the residents

[pokemondimensions]

3:13 did they really put air horns in this? That makes it funnier than it already was

[sophiecooke]

Hamilton: We have the fastest rap in Broadway/Musical history
Spongebob Squarepants: Hold my bubble tea...

[harmonypon]

“Hold on, Plankton! I am simply shocked!” “ *RGGHHH* “
