Dwayne N Jazz hey big fan keep doing what you do😀😀
Dwayne N Jazz and react to the caught series by destorm
Dwayne N Jazz react to my chemical romance
It's not racist, Shaka banned growing wheat after his mother died. It was a double diss on his madness after his mother's death and the fact that Rome subjugated everyone they beat.
Wow never knew that about Shaka, makes that last line from Ceaser even better.
Triple diss because if you lose a war, you were enslaved or sold to slavers. It has nothing to do with race, thus not racist.
On top of that, most slaves in Rome weren't even black. Race hardly mattered at all when it came to enslavement for them.
@@sqoo5 to Rome everyone else was inferior unless they themselves become Roma
@@トーキ-g8v One way or another, they learned to respect the Pax Romana. Lol
The last line isn't a reference to the African slave trade, it's a reference to the Roman practice of forced conquered peoples into working and providing for the Roman Empire.
She didn't say african slave trade, she said slavery. Which is accurate.
I know, just wanted to clear it up because I've seen a lot of reactors misinterpret the line.
Soooo slavery?
Michael Johnson its a reference to slavery, but dont get offended and think it was towards africans only, is what he is trying to tell people
exactly thanks, I just didn't want them to misinterpret it as a racist comment, which I have seen people do.
That last line was simply about slavery, not racism. Romans enslaved everyone they defeated, not simply black people. Loved the video.
They never mentioned race. Who says some Romans weren't racist anyways?
Jay 3
the Romans were far from it. They believed in a different type of hate. The hate of people beneath them.
A Men ... I don't know... I don't feel particularly caucasian...
To apply the term white to romans as something they identified as beyond just describing what they'd look like to us, is pretty stupid, as let's be honest I'm pretty sure europeans up until well into modern times wouldn't identify themselves as white. As a german identifying as white still ranks very low on the list of things I identify as.
But I sure as hell, honest to god would never... ever identify as caucasian. The caucasus is a region somewhere between russia and Turkey. Geographically my family ties lie closer to north africa then to caucasia.
Also considering that romans gave citizenship to people who were not ethnically latin or even italian... at that Roman citizenship was what made you roman... I don't think how true your statement that they were racist is.
Sure they thought themselves superior, but I don't think it was a 'race-issue'.
A Men Romans were still white. Especially the upper ruling class. Only the Sicilians and far-south italians of today can be considered half-white, since they’re a product of steady north-african migration over the last 2000 years.
Fact is that the proper Romans were direct descendants of the indo-european Corded Ware culture, just like most of Europe.
Yelsä Vidaravskaja romans enslaved anyone they conquered. Plus, Shacka Zulu banned farming wheat when his mom died so that last line is packed.
Btw, when "Caesar" says "Ask my kidnappers if i'm just a shit talker"... Storytime:
In 75 BCE a band of Cilician pirates in the Aegean Sea captured him at the age of 25.
Caesar simply refused to behave like a captive. When the pirates told him that they had set his ransom at the sum of 20 talents, he laughed at them for not knowing who it was they had captured and suggested that 50 talents would be a more appropriate amount. He then sent his entourage out to gather the money and settled in for a period of captivity.
He made himself at home among the pirates, bossing them around and shushing them when he wanted to sleep. He made them listen to the speeches and poems that he was composing in his unanticipated downtime and berated them as illiterates if they weren’t sufficiently impressed. He would participate in the pirates’ games and exercises, but he always addressed them as if he were the commander and they were his subordinates. From time to time he would threaten to have them all crucified. They took it as a joke from their overconfident, slightly nutty captive.
It wasn’t a joke. After 38 days, the ransom was delivered and Caesar went free. Astonishingly, Caesar managed to raise a naval force in Miletus and he set out in pursuit of the pirates. He found them still camped at the island where he had been held, and he brought them back as his captives. When the governor of Asia seemed to vacillate about punishing them, Caesar went to the prison where they were being held and had them all crucified.
This man's charisma was OFF THE FUCKING CHARTS.
I love that story about Caesar and I'm glad I'm not the only one who got that reference.
@@RosenThorneGaming OFF THE FUCKING CHARTS i tell you.
THANK YOU, MAN! So nice to finally know what some of the lines mean.
Thats one of the most badass things ive ever heard
"so if've heard of your play tell me how does it end, if yes, you get stabbed many times by your friends."
meanwhile shaka got killed by his half siblings...
I love how Jazz went from jamming to "oh, that's slavery", that was hilarious.
Wouldn't be slavery, the Zulu would have been absorbed into the Empire and considered citizens of Rome.
Penguin Taco how u know for sure?
@@WaterKingCrocodoan they did that alot.
WaterKingAnonymous cause both existed as established systems in Africa and France for verging on 800 years. And Gaul by far got the worst deal they saw “Africa” (NorthC) as cultured and not unlike themselves (except Carthage who ironically was almost exactly like them), they committed genocide and then sold the rest of the disobedient tribes into slavery til it put all their own citizen’s farms out of business- but slavery wasn’t hereditary and didn’t last more than 20 years and they had protected rights until it was banned. Pastiness or Gallic hair were looked down on or considered signs of being uncivilized in your stock, like the Noble Savage shit that got tossed around- it was mostly pointed north tho because Gauls sacked rome like 400 years before and scarred their civilization and ethnic prejudices for centuries.
Also literally all of the wheat disses were because Shaka banned the production of wheat - their staple fucking food- because in his later years he literally was going crazy. Somehow they failed to include his own half brothers had to kill him cause of the devastation he was causing.
Beyond the literal hundreds of hours of free, well produced and interesting information on both subjects you could just fucking look at their Wikipedia page for 5 seconds rather than expanding your sphere of ignorance.
@@Souledex another thing I honestly think by beaten,he meant lose in a war. I dont think he meant slavery
Just so you don't get the wrong Idea, the last line wasn't exactly racist, it was something the romans would do to their enemies when they are captured... they would whip and beat them and make them do the crops and stuff and other hard labors.
Which is slavery. She didn't say racist, she said slavery.
which is why i said, "just so you dont get the wrong idea," and because she reacted negatively, I just wrote so just in case, since many other reactors implied that it was racist.
CittaV Box yea a bunch of other reactors thought of it as racist so, there is nothing wrong with you saying tht
So what if it would be racist ? It's a rap battle, you can except any type of "personal" attacks.
CittaV Box if they thought it was racist, they would've reacted VERY differently
"you get stabbed many time by you're friends"
umm correct me if I'm wrong but Shaka Zulu was killed by his brothers.
I wonder why didn't Erb added that.
"ask my kidnappers if i'm just a shit talker." he got kidnapped, told them all he was going to kill them, was insulted that they asked for such a small ransom, a year or so later he crucified them all.
They were both assinated in real life. Anyways I think Caesar won this one hands down both rounds.
That cow hide line is so clean, flew right over there heads
"if I wanted to shake Spears I would wiggle my biography" that was nice 🔥 🔥 🔥
Wiggle
"That last one is like slavery." Nope, just straight up slavery, that's what the Romans did, and they were damn good at it.
@Arthur Morgan The later romans prefer germanic slaves because they blonde hair was a expansive trade ressource. In imperial times, roman women loved blonde wigs
this is the the only other erb I really wanted you to react to now I don't care which one you react to next
ERB Blackbeard vs Al Capone, I keep saying y'all need to see that one.
Mike cushinberry Your wish was granted
Mike cushinberry BUT, THAT BATTLE IS NOT ALL THAT.
Still waiting for Edgar Allan Poe vs. Stephen King.
Danny Boy Is My Name ikr?
Carldereims Songwriter yeah and that's one of the biggest top videos in ERB and they still didn't react to it
Danny Boy Is My Name still now they haven't reacted to it, It's one of my favourite ones as well
Also, can you react to EpicLloyd's Dis Raps for Hire series? There are two seasons so far, season two is still ongoing. Also, for season 1, you'll have to pause to read the comments, since they show up for like a second.
and sometimes Season 2 as well
Keep the reactions coming! They are really great and you make my day when you upload! Keep up the good work 😄
Guys I love your channel u guys r so fun it's crazy how u guys don't have a million subs yet
it feels like so long since you guys did one of these glad to see you back at it
One of the absolute best battles!I really love the casting for the actors used in these.Of course Nice Peter was damn brilliant,but the guy playing Shaka was a perfect choice,and if I had to picture what the real Shaka Zulu looked like,this dude would be it:)
I loved this one. It was the video that got me into rap battles.
5 videos in one day yall are lit
i just looooove the facial expressions on you guys when you listen to this one :D
There's some cool history in this battle, they even use accurate battle tactics, such as Shaka using the "horns" and Juluis couldn't be "outflanked". Also the ending wasn't 'like' slavery, it was slavery, Rome enslaved there enemies quite often. Although there was nothing racist involved, if you lost you were put to work or to death, that's how Rome tended to do things, they were often an extremely practical people.
finally an ERB reaction! Been waiting forever for one.
I particularly loved the wordplay on the ballista. ready aim steady were the commands before fire that the romans used.
I love watching your videos everyday
That was great when he referenced his kidnappers. He said he'd see them crucified and when his ransom was paid, he gathered a fleet, went after those pirates, caught them and crucified them. No one can say that Caesar isn't a man of his word.
Caesar won
"you should take your cow skin shield and hide under it"
been waiting a long for erb you gotta make more
Hey Dwayne and Jazz! BTW, Dwayne technically won that one Injustice round where Jazz used her special ability
Cesar won with that last line.
Random Fact: Shaka aka Shaka Zulu aka Shaka ka Senzangakhona (Son of Senzangakhona) was stabbed to death by his half-brother Dingane after Shaka had 7.000 of his people killed and orderd for the entire Zulu Empire to starve for three months as a sign of sadness over his mothers death because of an illness.
That was the most fire battle ever.
Not only is it slavery, he picked wheat because Shaka Zulu banned wheat after a member of his family died of eating a poisonous parasitie plant that grows on wheat.
And the line about "ask my kidnappers if I'm just a shit talker." is about how he mustered a fleet and hunted down and crucify every last one of the pirates that held him for ransom. A ransom he found insulting so he told them to raise it, which they did and then he killed all of them.
2:09 "That last one was like slavery." Yeah, that's how they did things in the old days. You lose the war, you're the winner's property. With the Romans, it was mostly Europeans that were enslaved.
"Many captives were either brought back as war booty or sold to traders,[9] and ancient sources cite anywhere from hundreds to tens of thousands of such slaves captured in each war."
I haven't seen a ERB for so long but today is the day I see one again 😭👌🏼
I've been waiting for these erbs
Damn, erb started when I was in MIDDLE SCHOOL. Im off to college in a few weeks; time flies.
"Oh that slavery"
Yes jasmine I believe it is
Im sorry this just made my day:
"oh yeah at the end of his biography he dies" XD
When he says "ask my kidnappers if I'm a shit talker". That's referring to when Ceaser was once kidnapped and told his kidnappers that he would have them executed when they got caught, and soon after befriended them and convinced them to take him back, where he had them taken in and executed, just as he promised.
it was about slavery however iy isn't just about slavery. Shaka Zulu was killed by his brother because he forbid his people from growing wheat because of his parents death so his people were litterally starving to death because of how ruling.
This is a comment on the original video, but this is by far the best depiction of Caeser in all forms of media
Julius Caesar's last line In this rap battle wasn't just a reference to slavery. It's a reference to how, after his mother's death, Shaka forbid the growing of wheat for a year to honor her as well as a number of other ludacris orders. As the result , he was murdered by his brothers.
I dunno, guys...that line by Zulu "Yes I've heard of your play/tell me how does it end?/ oh yes, you get stabbed many times by your friends" is pretty raw...gonna go with Shaka Zulu for this one.
The Romans made everyone work for them after they conquered them. Also, I think the wheat line has a double meaning. Shaka Zulu banned wheat farms after his mother passed away.
love yall vids
I've missed these reactions
Well in Rome, a speech that brought cheers, "In our market we have slaves for every budget!" This made Romans happy.
I just noticed the way he said "warrior" is a reference to the movie The Warriors
Last line is referencing the time when Shaka Zulu forced people to stop growing cereals after one of his family members had died.
I see you have Goku black on the back of your laptop as random as that seems that's cool as hell
epic rap battles of history announcer vs. mortal kombat announcer
Yeah its not the same slavery as colonial era slavery. It was quite common during the Roman Empire for the winning side to take slaves after conquering the enemy. It wasn't race based, it was just "we beat you, you work for us now".
The Zulu warriors were very powerful despite their primitive weapons. They had spears and wooden clubs that they used to great agility. Shaka developed a few battle formations that were unique for that time, one of them being something that resembled a bull's horns. The Zulu were also known for chewing a poisonous herb, mixing the toxins with their own saliva. The mixture was then spat into the eyes of the victims, blinding them. The herb was chewed outside of battle to allow the warrior to build a tolerance to it. The main drawbacks were the lack of lethality, and the short distance it could be fired.
"Oh yes, you get stabbed many times by your friends." Uh, Shaka, I don't think you can say anything about that considering you got stabbed by your own BROTHERS!
This is by far the best erb (in my opinion)
peoples shock at the last line surprises me. slavery was a defining characteristic of roman society. had them from all over.
Honestly who DIDN'T Rome enslave? Rome's only worst enemy was itself. You didn't mess with them.
Shaka also got killed by his own people. He grew so crazy at the end of his rule he was assassinated. The kidnapping quip Ceaser talks about when he got kidnapped by pirates. He told them only ask for 50 gold coins and after his ransom was paid he raised a fighting force and killed all the pirates.
Not just his own people, but his half-brothers were the ones that assassinated him.
When they say that Zulu was not in Ceasor time, yea
Shaka was in the 1800s
Interesting fact about the Zulu empire. From what we could piece together about the Zulu from British history is that they kicked Britain’s arse with those sticks and cow shields and the Zulu’s were massively out numbered.
What the fuck?...you got everything backwards...the british were massively outnumbered and kicked the Zulus asses....stop trying to rewrite history....the British won the anglo-zulu war.
I love this one!
Ironic that Shaka said that about Julius being stabbed by his friends because he died by being stabbed many times by his own family lol.
The last line was was more of a reference to the fact that Shaka banned growing wheat after his mother died, and Rome also enslaved everyone they conquered.
To add more insult for the last line from Julius , Shaka had banned all wheat crops after his mother was killed. And so his half brother killed him over Shaka going crazy . So I guess you could say they both were stabbed many times.
If I remember after Rome beat you into the ground you’d send the majority of your crops to Rome for ten or twelve years and then they’re just like “well, your a Roman citizen now. Have fun with that.”
react to Edgar Allen poe vs Stephen King
omg like slow down with these new videos XD like I'm trying to catch up (just kidding I love it I live for it ) XD
In reality. the famous Zulu flanking method would get trampled by Roman cavalry. Fun facts.
Ancient Rome was one of the largest empires in the ancient times. Their population was made up of 90 million/20% of the population back then while the Zulu were numbered at 12 million.
Interestingly, the Zulu Empire was at it's height when the British were conquering Africa.
In 1879, at the Battle of Isandlwana, despite the British army having the best rifles, canons, rockets, and calvary at the time, they lost to the highly trained and disciplined warriors of the Zulu.
They eventually lost at the Battle of Rourke's drift (due to one Zulu commander being over ambitious and crossing a river that separated British South Africa with Zululand, now Swaziland).
Destorm actually did the hand over his chest/heart motion like on Vine
They think that cow skin shields,no armor and wooden Spears could have beaten the fucking Roman empire at it's strongest under Julius Caesar.🤣🤣🤣
Enough people have commented on the last line being not as racist as many take it, sense the Roman's made "slaves" of almost everyone they conquered. But, it is also a reference to the fact that Shaka banned the growing of crops after his mother's death. Shaka's eradicate behavior after the death of his mother partly contributed to him being assassinated.
I don't think they got the lines where Caesar said "First my front lines will drop back and spank you in the chest, then I'll decimate your horns, you can't outflank the best".
love 6ou guys you guys are awsome
Didn't anyone notice that's destrom power 😂😂
Do a combo one of these with the Behind the Scenes.
In this one, it brings up interesting things about those battle formations! Also, Lloyd sells cocaine sometimes, nsfl.
Romans enslaved everybody, plus its also a personal jab as Shaka banned growing wheat after his mother died and he started going nuts.
The last one wasn't a reference to slavery in general, or even enslaving war captives. It was an insult against Shaka in particular, since he banned the growing of wheat after his mother died in a wheat field.
Actually North Africa was the bread basket of the Empire. It wasn't a reference to slavery per say. Yes many would be slaves but Africa did grow most of Rome's grain
Finally! Another erb reaction
this is actually my favorite erb song
Romans enslaved defeated enemies so yes it was a slave reference but not racial.
Romans (and most of the ancient conquering civilizations, such as the Israelites) used to take a lot of war prisoners as slaves and use them to work for them in exchange for keeping them alive. Most of them chose this fate as long as they were spared from death.
the funniest rap 😂😂😂😂
Fun fact its already mentioned that romans made everyone they beat grow their shit, but its also a personal jab to Shaka zulu. Shaka zulu banned the growth of crops and so its funny that he should have to grow crops for someone else.
The last line had 2 references:
*After his mother death, Shaka Zulu banned everyone from cultivating wheat
*The Romans used to enslave the enemy soldiers to work for them, so it wasn't racist at all.
It was just a "double-quote" to history :)
Julius Caesar if you said that last line in 2016 you'll end up like the result at the end of your play
Shaka Zulu was hundreds of years ahead of Julius Caesar. Shaka 1787 - 22 September 1828 - Africa didn't climb the technology tree because for the same reason the Greeks couldn't either - war with each other. They never united so they were fairly easy to beat from an invading force. Rome had many cultures beat for centuries to come which is why so many politics and economic systems today are based on Rome.
You should check out the outtakes for this video in ERB 2.
I think they were referring to the fact that they used the reserves of all the places they conquered like Carthage ( they literally used their wheat)
The last line is even better because they were forbidden to grow wheat.
That ssj rose looks pretty good on a laptop :D
3rd btw yay!! learning about Caesar!!
The Egyptians provided Rome with wheat, they had a contract with Egypt, not as slaves....but as a business....
