tbh i honestly wondered if that's sort of how they kinda choose who plays what. like, if they've got a preference, go ahead. if they've not got someone coming in, presumably, which face/body type/personality fits the bill better (like, epic lloyd actually said he sorta liked the more aggressive sort of character) if they need someone kinda square faced, stocky, lloyd. tall, lanky son of a bitch, peter does the trick, or zack.
I liked the philosopher's battle too. It featured Jin as Confucius who, fun fact, is an actual battle MC. He won freestyle Friday seven times in a row back when 106 & park had good rap battles.
sooooooo underated, just a slew of roasts on BOTH sides but thor i think had more. which made me uset uz im a greek mythos fan but hes not wrong about greek being vindictive and cruel toward humans.
It's a testament to how great erb is that there's only 2 here that make my top 10. You have people who disagree because they have so many that are incredible. You can say the directors (my #1), or the Russians or even the assasin's creed one, because they do these with such care, that even in a battle that serves as a commercial, you can find Blackbeard delivering one of my favorite verses in all of rap. I love Epic Rap Battle, and have been watching it from very early on. I started watching early 2011, and since they started announcing when rap battles will be released, I haven't missed a single one
it's incredible how strong of quality their content is... i wonder if there could never be a longer-form rap-opera sort of thing like idlewild or double edge films DJ short, Spin... it'll always find a welcome audience
I'M SO HAPPY YOU MENTIONED ZACH! My favourite battles are always the ones he's in. His flow is so characteristic and he makes me really happy in every rap battle he does. He's so amazing
I can't agree more, which is why I was sad that his solo stuff is not so similar. It reminds me of old Watsky or some kind of indie-spoken word rap. It's a different flavor than what I've known him for (however his writing is ALWAYS there) I always suggest that ERB needs more pissed of Zack Sherwin
@@FlowUrbanFlow Funnily enough, old Zach (back when he was MC Mr. Napkins) used to have a few more pissed-off-ish bits. If you haven't yet, you should check out F-Bombs, Aggressive Bee, Flag Roast, and, if you can find it, Spelling Bee. It's still not quite the same flavor, but could be your thing.
@@FlowUrbanFlow Nice! Btw, this just made me remember Lloyd's Off The Top improv show; Zach had a few cool bits in the rap battle segment on that: ruclips.net/video/731MaA8znWY/видео.html
As a history buff, Churchill vs Roosevelt is one of my favorite rap battles of all time. I LOVE THAT YOU TALK ABOUT THE ENDING! Cause I especially LOVE the editing towards the end with the rain, with the flashes of the horse, then the troops parachuting in a la Allied powers coming in to save the DAY. And SLOWING DOWN THE FRAME RATE OH MY GOD THAT WAS SO GOOD. damn. It was a thing i noticed the first watch and was hoping to see it talked about in the comments but....nah. Sadly to this day the comments of the older videos are just flooded with "this vs this" and often really bad suggestions. I hope more people will talk about the actual BATTLE in the future in the comment section.
Everybody wants to be the one who decides "who's next"... without considering that their suggestions are either a terrible pairing of two random characters that they happen to like but are not related in any way, or they're not historical in any way, or often both of these at once. It's "parachuting" btw, because the noun is "parachute". ;) Cheers
@@sixstringedthing yea that seems to be the case though there are a lot of really good suggestions I'll admit that. They're just hard to find in the sea pf fictional character suggestions. Though those battles can be good too depending on who they pick. Oh my GOD I feel fucking stupid for for not catching that lol. SPELL CHECK WHY DID YOU FAIL ME?! lol
@@ribottostudio I think the "Flash In The Pan Battles of Now" were a great and subtle dig at people continually suggesting battles between current Marvel heroes and videogame characters (although the few ERB's they did with those characters turned out pretty well anyway). Don't beat yourself up, happens to us all. :) see ya
@@sixstringedthing whoever thought of that Flash in the pan battles of now is genius. It really is a nice dig on the really shitty suggestions and they actually make those raps good so....win win lol.
I agree and but that being said the next fight I'd like to see is Oda Nobunaga versus Augustus Caesar. Nobunaga the warrior who came very close to uniting Japan versus the Nephew of Julius Caesar, First Emperor of Rome. East versus West. Legend vs Legend. But other then that it's interesting to see how far the series has come. Hitler for example is a massive parody and nothing like how he was in history. But Churchill and Roosevelt are incredibly cool and done appropriately. The fights between historical figures have always been more fun to me. I'd love to see say Sargon of Sumeria versus Montezuma of the Aztec. Or Vlad the Impaler versus Charlemange, Holy Roman Emperor, King of the Franks. History has so many incredible people that I feel that sometimes they dive too much into pop culture. I love some of those episodes but Jenner versus Banner and Ellen versus Oprah are not battles I ever wanted to see. Why have we not seen a battle with Nixon in it yet? But hey just my opinion I guess.
My top five : 1/ Winston Churchill versus Theodore Roosevelt (literally perfect) 2/ Steven Spielberg vs Alfred Hitchcock (I love cinema) 3/ J.R.R. Tolkien vs George R.R. Martin (also love fantasy) 4/ Jack the Ripper vs Hannibal Lecter (great portrayal of the characters) 5/ Rasputin vs Stalin (SLAVS)
Neil Murtagh who is ur favorite director from the cinema rap battle?Mine is Kubrick-Tarantino-Hitchcock-Spielberg------------------------------------- -----------bay
8:13. True story. I sent my college philosophy/religion professor the link to East vs. West Philosophers. I agree. It was a genre defining moment. If you pick just one battle to show a friend to get them interested, I'd send them that one.
So you're finally doing Freddy Kruger vs. Wolverine… sounds violent. Btw I did this THE DAY BEFORE it came out, thinking it as a joke. Slightly shocked when it actually happened.
@@medra4838 Stinger talks about a hint for upcoming rap battles and shows a Freddy glove, but talks about Bugs Bunny. Warner Brothers on Elm Street, anyone?
dont think the bugs bunny thing was serious but im thinking maybe Freddy vs Jason which becomes a “cavalcade” as Lloyd calls it of slasher film characters
I have a couple matchups that I think would be pretty cool, 1. Neil Breen vs Tommy Wiseau (Both so bad it's good directors) 2. Willy Wonka vs Milton S Hershey 3. Dr. Frankenstein vs Dr. Jekyll (Maybe have Hyde and Frankenstein's monster show up) 4. John Lasseter vs Hayao Miyazaki (Both famous artists/animators) 5. H.P Lovecraft vs R.L Stine (Both novelists who focus on horror) 6. Han Solo vs Neil Armstrong (Both space explorers) 7. John Wick vs Jason Bourne 8. Archie vs Charlie Brown 9. Wolverine vs Wolfman 10. King Tut vs Billy the Kid
Wonka vs Hershey sounds pretty good. Here's other suggestions as well. 11. The Fresh Prince vs Martin Payne 12. John Williams vs Hans Zimmer 13. Louis Armstrong vs Dizzie Gillespie 14. Buzz Lightyear vs Buzz Aldrin 15. John Wayne vs Woody 16. Rock lee vs Bruce Lee 17. Rick and Morty vs Doc and Marty 18. Robert E Lee vs Douglas Macarthur(maybe Erwin Rommel,Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler and Andrew Jackson as extras) 19. Timmy Turner vs Jimmy Neutron 20. Harry Potter vs Percy Jackson
I've seen many great suggestions so far, and in this thread alone I like the vast majority of them, so here are my suggestions: 21. Shigeru Miyamoto vs Gabe Newell 22. C.S. Lewis vs J.K. Rowling 23. John Wayne vs Miyamoto Musashi 24. Erwin Rommel vs Otto von Bismarck 25. Dorothy vs Alice 26. Pythagoras vs Charles Babbage 27. Ronald Reagan vs Ronald McDonald 28. Ed Gein vs Leatherface 29. Hannibal of Carthage vs William the Conqueror 30. Simon Bolivar vs Fidel Castro
You guys put a lot of effort and do a lot of research when writing a rap. I can see this cause some references are really "deep" and not obvious, which is amazing and is also an opportunity to learn something. For example I've learned from Bonnie & Clyde vs. Romeo and Juliet that Clyde cut off his toe to avoid work in prison or something like that. So I have a question: how do you prepare for a rap? Do you read books? How do you learn all those facts about The characters? Also, 2 questions that I wanted to ask you guys are: - Which battle would you like to re- do and why? - What is your favourite verse and why? Ps. What about an ERB with Tarzan and Mowgli (Jungle Book)? Seems a fair match up. Keep up with the great work, I can't wait for Season 6
Cool questions! How do we prepare for a rap: we do read books, I am almost always reading some sort of history book every night. I use a Kindle, so I can download new books easily, and have access to many at once, and read in the dark. We watch any documentaries that are out there, we watch any movies that are out there, we read the wikipedia articles on characters, we watch youtube videos. Anything that will help us build up a store of information, we'll try to consume. Then we sit down and write out all the things we think could be mentioned about the character. Basically making a list of key words, phrases, concepts and ideas. Some of those ideas everyone already knows, so we can make an easy joke about them. For example - we all know "Romeo, oh Romeo..." so we can just mention that in a joke without explaining anything. But for the toe thing you mentioned, we have to find a way to deliver the information, and make a joke about it. your other 2 questions are good too. which battle would we re-do - I've always wanted to re-edit Hulk Hogan vs Kim Jong il. so we did. stay tuned. favorite verse: I think HAL 9000, there's just so much information in it, but it all flows smoothly and doesn't sound like there was a lot of effort in it. I like it when verses turn out that way, so right now that's maybe my favorite verse. Tarzan is a fun character, will keep him in mind. jungle book dude, I'm less sure about. but cool idea none the less.
@@ERB2 That's so cool! And Hulk Hogan vs Kim Jong Il is one of my favourites from the early ERBs. I just love Macho Man's rap. It's so simple and yet so true! It's one of the battles I quote the most. Also the beat is great!
@@ERB2 What can I say... thank you so much!!! As a fan, it means a lot to me that you spent some of your time to answer my questions, and it wasn't a short answer either! You really care about your fans and this community, and it shows. Plus, I got my "personal" Q&A and your top 5 rap battles, so... happy birthday to me ahaha Again, thank you so much, I really appreciate it :)
Pretty awesome East Vs West Philosophers came from a chat-room full of hardcore ERB fans. You guys really took the idea of that battle and brought it to its fullest potential - what an amazing piece!
Personally 5: Bob Ross vs Paublo Picasso 4: Rasputin vs Stalin 3: Vader vs Hitler 1 2: Ivan the terrible vs Alexander the Great 1: Jack the Ripper vs Hannibal Lector
Mine 10. Frank Sinatra vs Freddie Mercury 9. Roosevelt vs Churchill 8. Cleopatra vs Marylin Monroe 7. Sherlock vs Batman 6. Jack the Ripper vs Hannibal 5. Bill Gates vs Steve Jobs 4. Albert Einstein vs Stephen Hawking 3. Mr T vs Mr Rogers 2. Edgar Allen Poe vs Stephen King 1. Tony Hawk vs Wayne Gretzky
My Top Five: 1. J.R.R. Tolkien vs George R.R. Martin 2. Deadpool vs Boba Fett 3. Stan Lee vs Jim Henson 4. Ivan the Terrible vs Alexander the Great 5. Rasputin vs Stalin
AvengingXman2 mine: 5. Mother Teresa vs Sigmund Freud 4. Steve Irwin vs Jacques Cousteau 3. Rasputin vs Stalin 2. J.R.R Tolkien vs George R.R Martin 1. Edgar Allen Poe vs Stephen King But most on your list is definitely my honorable mentions list
I hope you’re doing more historical ones again, cos those are by far the best. Do something like Peter Tordenskjold v Admiral Yi of Korea or Hannibal of Carthage vs Leonids of Sparta or Brian cox vs Niels Bohr
1. Marilyn Monroe vs Cleopatra 1. George Washington vs William Wallace 2. Romeo and Juliet vs Bonnie and Clyde 3. Michael Jackson vs Elvis Presley 4. Tesla vs Edison 5. Gandhi vs Martin Luther King Honorable mentions: Bruce Lee vs Clint Eastwood, Michael Jordan vs Muhammed Ali, Obama vs Romney
I couldn't restrict myself to 5 so i made a top 15: TOP 15 ERB'S EVER MADE!! 15: Shaka Zulu vs Julius Ceasar Is my Civilization fanboyism showing? Shaka was great, but Ceasar was bloody fenomenal 14: Hitler vs Vader part 1 A true classic. Showed the world how great the series is early on 13: Tolkien vs George R R Martin The dream of every fantasy nerd. Tolkien was a fucking boss 12: Master Chief vs Leonidas An unexpected battle, but great nontheless. Staring two of the greatest and most threatening rappers in the series 11: Gordon Ramsey vs Julia Child Truly underrated. Gordon Ramsey's agression makes for some pretty flaming verses and Julia Child plays it off rather well. Not to mention that Gordon Ramsey himself has seen and loves this one 10: Movie director Battle Royale Every actor performs their director exceedingly well, with more than enough unique traits to keep it interesting in each verse. 9: Mr T vs Mr Rogers Probably the only battle i am including due to the existence of a single line. Mr Rogers final line was a career-ender for any opposition. 8: Frank Sinatra vs Freddy Mercury Perhaps i am biased because these are 2 of my favorite singers. Sinatra is good, but Mercury is a bloody star! 7: Wonder Woman vs Stevie Wonder Getting T-Pain for Stevie Wonder was one of the series' best decisions. He makes it look so easy, and brings serious questions to Wonder Woman's status as a feminist icon. 6: Jim Henson vs Stan Lee Bit of a heart-breaker concidering what has happened to the rappers themselves. The melancholy is broken by Walt Disneys great final verse though. 5: Gandhi vs Mlk How can you not love Key and Peele? The battle of pacifists was executed so well i have no ideas for improvements. Most agressive hug-out i've ever seen. 4: Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates The battle that originally made me subscribe and stay looking for more content from this channel. The tempo, the verses, the lyrics... Perfect 3: Russian Battle royale The first Battle royale rap battle in ERB and it is great. Also a nice guide to russian 20th century history. Every new rapper surpasses the previous. DAAAAAAA 2: Philosopher battle What Nice Peter said. So much brilliant thought and subtext behind each line. It should make every philosopher happy. Honorable mentions: Elvis vs Michael Jackson, Roosevelt vs Churchill, Skrillex vs Mozart, James Bond vs Austin Powers, Trump vs Clinton 1: The Greats vs Ivan the Terrible I put this as my nr. 1 because it tells a fun story. It is a fun idea with a brilliant execution and shows each part of ERB at its finest: The editing, the costumes, the writing and the performers. Everything is perfect. Ivan makes for a great villain and the Greats make for interesting adversaries. The perfect ERB.
I'd say top 5 for me: 5) Rasputin vs Stalin, it's a classic. First battle royale like you said but they completely nailed it on the first shot. Another one I love so much I can recite by memory. 4) Gordon Ramsay vs Julia Child, I've always been a Ramsay fan and i think that with all the cooking jokes, the editing, and the jokes about the actual characters it's one of their more clever well put together battles. 3) Musk vs Zuckerberg, I know it's not an old video by any means, but it shows how they're always growing, they are always willing to do new things whether it be accents, or topics (the shift to social media based jokes instead of history jokes like many of the other battles) 2) Philosophers, been a favorite of mine and still one of the only ones I know off the top of my head by memory Honorable mentions: Joan of Ark vs Miley Cyrus, Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates, Jim Henson vs Stan Lee, Donald vs Hillary (very close 6th place like super close), and White vs Grimes 1) Alexander the Great vs Ivan the Terrible (and others) like you said, overall its just such a perfect execution.
I would love to see Dexter vs Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen) They’re both psychopaths who influence the police forces so they wont be caught and they have an irresistible love for killing!
Yes. That top Five then this top Five cleared my mind of today and brought me a much appreciated smile. I got into your stream, back in like 2009, alone in Missoula and marveling at your work. Now getting my first world in order and feet on the ground in Orange. Stoked to bask in the lyrical ingenuity and the collaborative visual flow. Thanks Guys!
One of the things I love about the philosopher battle is that no one can agree who actually won. There's a channel that did a voting system, but the vote was 45-55 in favor of the easterners... but I'm guessing if you asked ever single one who they chose 50% of those who voted wouldn't be able to remember who they chose
I agree on the philosophers battle being the best. When i get a craving for ERB I always start there before I go down the rabbit hole. The way the beat changes from character to character is friggin excellent.
5. Goku vs. Superman 4. Mr. T vs. Mister Rogers (i guess) 3. Ivan the Terrible vs. Alexander the Great 2. Eastern Philosophers vs. Western Philosophers 1. Jack The Ripper vs. Hannibal Lecter
Nice, someone else who thinks Jack the Ripper vs Hannibal Lecter was the best. Not only was it clever, but the actual beat/music was way more catchy than other rap battles!
5) Ash Ketchum vs Charles Darwin 4) Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerburg 3) Stevie Wonder vs Wonderwoman 2) Darth Vader vs Adolf Hitler Trilogy 1) Boba Fett vs Deadpool
The philosopher battle will always be one of my favourites. Hope you find a way to bring back the guys who played the eastern philosophers for a future battle.
So honestly, I totally agree with you on place 1, 2 and 4 (though 4 might be my number 3^^). I love those to death. Another one I recently came to appreciate a lot is James Bond vs Austin Powers. Sean Connery's entrance and 1st verse are just so fucking great! But because that was pretty much my favourite part I would put that in 4th. 5th was hard for me to decide but I really enjoy Barack Obama vs Mitt Romney. But as you said, that is just my CURRENT selection, seeing as you guys have made SO MANY awesome Battles. I thank each and every one of you for all the hard work and effort and love you have put into this. They really show off the love and care you guys have for this project and I hope it continues to be successful until you want to do something new :)
Second hand Porsche/Portia, I even squint better than you, I'm celibate - cause I don't give a fuck, Scarlet Fever - TB - Gotta catch 'em all, Are some of my favourites.
What I love about your rap battles is how well researched they are and amazingly the lyrics all fit together and pun together. Not to mention the beats are genuinely awesome.
Ooooh my...the shadows in Theodore vs Churchill. I've never noticed and I've seen it many times (one of favorites). That's an awesome thing to know and I can appreciate the video much more!
What's funny is that it is probably Bugs Bunny Vs. Freddy Krueger OK, that could really rock!!!! :) Glad to see you all back to making battles. I have honestly missed you guys/gals doing what made your channel famous to start with. Let the Epic Rap Battles continue!!!!! :)
I think my favorite ERB is Sherlock vs. Batman, because of how differently it flows. Some of my other favorites are Caesar vs. Zulu, Hawk vs. Gretzky, and Picasso vs. Ross.
You are awesome dude! Just keep having fun and ERB will continue to be awesome. My favourite of all time is Picasso vs. Bob Ross. Bob Ross just rocks it in that one.
I’ve been watching for as long as I can remember but if I had to choose a favorite it would have to be Jack The Ripper vs Hannibal Lecter Or Julius Caesar vs Shaka Zulu. But as many people agree it could change and it does, it’s so hard to choose when every battle is incredibly made. I’d love to see Captain America vs Captain Marvel Rick and Morty vs Dipper and Mable Spongebob vs Winnie the Pooh Iron man vs Spider man Some of these are off the top of my head. Btw if erb2 like this I’ll crap my pants Love the videos!!
I might be biased this season after Wolverine vs Freddy Kruger It's harder to decide number 1 favourite but the ones I have watched the most are: Deadpool vs Boba Fett Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton Artists vs TMNT Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates Cleopatra vs Marilyn Monroe Mario Bros vs Wright Bros Mozart vs Skrillex Bob Ross vs Pablo Picasso Zeus vs Thor Eastern vs Western philosophers Tolkien vs Martin Gordon Ramsey vs Julia Child Wonder Woman vs Stevie Wonder

dont think the bugs bunny thing was serious but im thinking maybe Freddy vs Jason which becomes a “cavalcade” as Lloyd calls it of slasher film characters
And I can’t remember where but they hearted a comment saying Freddy vs wolverine
Woah, Peter actually lost all that weight for a rap battle? That's some real dedication.
"These white boys getting burned 'cause guess what? Now the sun's out" is one of my favorite lines in ERB history
Timmy wrote that in the vocal booth, he's really funny at coming up with stuff fast
NERD Incorporated wtf no and piss off troll!
@NERD Incorporated there now not going to do that since you wrote it like 200 times
@NERD Incorporated what the actual fuck you loser
@NERD Incorporated, 225 responses? Damn.
Your team is amazing keep with your awesome ideas and lyrics
Oh, so glad you mentioned Teddy vs. Churchill! That's my absolute favorite battle. I love the jangly old-timey piano in the music!
I never knew about the Churchill vs Winston Easter Eggs. That's awesome, guys. Thanks.
... U mean Winston Churchill vs Theodore Roosevelt
Post apocalyptic slim vs nice peter
*not even a challenge*
PETA vs Steve Irwin
Steve Irwin already wins.
FireCloud42
Steve irwin would wrestle Peta into submission
I think Peter said something about never wanting to do Steve Irwin because he didn't want to make jokes about his death, but that was a long time ago.
*STEVE IRWIN VS JEFF CORWIN*
Isn't PETAs CEO karen
i really like how peter acts like your grandpa and a 20 year old at the same time
I have a couple matchups that I think would be pretty cool,
1. Neil Breen vs Tommy Wiseau (Both so bad it's good directors)
2. Willy Wonka vs Milton S Hershey
3. Dr. Frankenstein vs Dr. Jekyll (Maybe have Hyde and Frankenstein's monster show up)
4. John Lasseter vs Hayao Miyazaki (Both famous artists/animators)
5. H.P Lovecraft vs R.L Stine (Both novelists who focus on horror)
6. Han Solo vs Neil Armstrong (Both space explorers)
7. John Wick vs Jason Bourne
8. Archie vs Charlie Brown
9. Wolverine vs Wolfman
10. King Tut vs Billy the Kid
Wonka vs Hershey sounds pretty good.
Here's other suggestions as well.
11. The Fresh Prince vs Martin Payne
12. John Williams vs Hans Zimmer
13. Louis Armstrong vs Dizzie Gillespie
14. Buzz Lightyear vs Buzz Aldrin
15. John Wayne vs Woody
16. Rock lee vs Bruce Lee
17. Rick and Morty vs Doc and Marty
18. Robert E Lee vs Douglas Macarthur(maybe Erwin Rommel,Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler and Andrew Jackson as extras)
19. Timmy Turner vs Jimmy Neutron
20. Harry Potter vs Percy Jackson
Alexander the Great vs. Julius Caesar make it happen!
Rhett & Link vs. NicePeter & EpicLloyd???
I've seen many great suggestions so far, and in this thread alone I like the vast majority of them, so here are my suggestions:
21. Shigeru Miyamoto vs Gabe Newell
22. C.S. Lewis vs J.K. Rowling
23. John Wayne vs Miyamoto Musashi
24. Erwin Rommel vs Otto von Bismarck
25. Dorothy vs Alice
26. Pythagoras vs Charles Babbage

28. Ed Gein vs Leatherface
29. Hannibal of Carthage vs William the Conqueror
30. Simon Bolivar vs Fidel Castro
Willy Wonka vs. Charles Goodyear (invented the rubber condom... and did a lot of other things with vulcanized rubber) would be better. LMAO
Personally, my favorite one was Caesar vs Shaka Zulu
Becky Brown boom shakalaka
Doc j dunk on you like boom shakalaka
You guys put a lot of effort and do a lot of research when writing a rap. I can see this cause some references are really "deep" and not obvious, which is amazing and is also an opportunity to learn something. For example I've learned from Bonnie & Clyde vs. Romeo and Juliet that Clyde cut off his toe to avoid work in prison or something like that. So I have a question: how do you prepare for a rap? Do you read books? How do you learn all those facts about The characters?
Also, 2 questions that I wanted to ask you guys are:
- Which battle would you like to re- do and why?
- What is your favourite verse and why?
Ps. What about an ERB with Tarzan and Mowgli (Jungle Book)? Seems a fair match up.
Keep up with the great work, I can't wait for Season 6
Cool questions!
How do we prepare for a rap:
we do read books, I am almost always reading some sort of history book every night. I use a Kindle, so I can download new books easily, and have access to many at once, and read in the dark. We watch any documentaries that are out there, we watch any movies that are out there, we read the wikipedia articles on characters, we watch youtube videos. Anything that will help us build up a store of information, we'll try to consume. Then we sit down and write out all the things we think could be mentioned about the character. Basically making a list of key words, phrases, concepts and ideas.
Some of those ideas everyone already knows, so we can make an easy joke about them. For example - we all know "Romeo, oh Romeo..." so we can just mention that in a joke without explaining anything.
But for the toe thing you mentioned, we have to find a way to deliver the information, and make a joke about it.
your other 2 questions are good too.
which battle would we re-do - I've always wanted to re-edit Hulk Hogan vs Kim Jong il. so we did. stay tuned.
favorite verse: I think HAL 9000, there's just so much information in it, but it all flows smoothly and doesn't sound like there was a lot of effort in it. I like it when verses turn out that way, so right now that's maybe my favorite verse.
Tarzan is a fun character, will keep him in mind. jungle book dude, I'm less sure about. but cool idea none the less.
@@ERB2 That's so cool!
And Hulk Hogan vs Kim Jong Il is one of my favourites from the early ERBs. I just love Macho Man's rap. It's so simple and yet so true! It's one of the battles I quote the most. Also the beat is great!
@@ERB2 What can I say... thank you so much!!! As a fan, it means a lot to me that you spent some of your time to answer my questions, and it wasn't a short answer either! You really care about your fans and this community, and it shows. Plus, I got my "personal" Q&A and your top 5 rap battles, so... happy birthday to me ahaha Again, thank you so much, I really appreciate it :)
Fast forward till now: Robert J Oppenheimer is my favorite!
Oppenheimer/Thanos
Wolverine/Freddy
Walter White/Rick Grimes
Stevie Wonder/Wonder Woman
Ivan the Terrible/Alexander The Great
J. Robert Oppenheimer VS Thanos is probably my favourite as well.
Trump vs Biden just became mine
Freddy Vs Wolverine was the best
Not an actual rap battle
Just freddy tryna avoid further incineration
He did such a good job at portraying Oppenheimer.
‘I’m terrorising London, fuck the 7/7 bombers’, By far one of the best lines they’ve ever wrote.
My favorite is the Jack the Ripper vs. Hannibal Lector one.
My man!
definitely. the lyrics and beat are amazing
As another wolf I approve this battle. My favorite followed by Ivan the Terrible vs Alexander the Great.
Same here its the only one i keep rewatching
Pretty awesome East Vs West Philosophers came from a chat-room full of hardcore ERB fans. You guys really took the idea of that battle and brought it to its fullest potential - what an amazing piece!
Yesss! The Philosopher's Battle is legendary. It's always been my favourite one but they're all so gooood.
My fav must be the Martin vs Tolkien
Jon Snow, King in the North
“You’re a pirate
You even stole my R. R.”
Tolkien won with just that.
You know nothing!
I want to see ERB to do one called "Queen Elizabeth II vs. Queen Victoria"! Now that would be so fun! Or maybe "Buzz Aldrin vs. Buzz Lightyear"!
And Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Mary I and Queen Anne all join in lol
that second one would actually fit as a battle
Omfg, Buzz vs Buzz would be awesome
Nice spelling. s.
:)
I hope you know its post to be like that.It's the way english used to be it means Rap and or Raps.
@@ERB2 putin vs kim jong un maybe?
Battle(s)
Someone 5173 I saw that to. s.
It's hard to choose my favorite there's just so many
Personally
5: Bob Ross vs Paublo Picasso
4: Rasputin vs Stalin
3: Vader vs Hitler 1
2: Ivan the terrible vs Alexander the Great
1: Jack the Ripper vs Hannibal Lector
Mine
10. Frank Sinatra vs Freddie Mercury
9. Roosevelt vs Churchill
8. Cleopatra vs Marylin Monroe
7. Sherlock vs Batman
6. Jack the Ripper vs Hannibal
5. Bill Gates vs Steve Jobs
4. Albert Einstein vs Stephen Hawking
3. Mr T vs Mr Rogers
2. Edgar Allen Poe vs Stephen King
1. Tony Hawk vs Wayne Gretzky
Jack the Ripper was amazing. It’s beat is da best
@@anxiousclan176 should probably say Jack the Ripper'S rap battle or it just sounds like you're supporting Jack the Ripper
Patrick Bridge oops....
I agree
I love these so much. I think J.K. Rowling versus Jane Austen would be awesome!
Steve-O-tronius37 Jane Austen would kill.
Jane Austin wins for me. No hesitation. She may have made an iconic universe about wizards and shit, but as a person shes bad. Like bad bad.
“Some days I wake up and think ‘you know what? I really liked Oprah v Ellen, screw the haters’” same Pete
It’s awesome hearing Peter speak with such enthusiasm and joy. It’s clear to see how passionate he is about what he does.
We’re always happy to see you too! 🤗 Great list!
Best rhymes that got cut in editing? I think it would make a nice video
Daniel Oliveira great idea!
@@Lenny.Calisthenics thanks mate!
@Shaekur ROUF I can only agree, but my guess is they will never see it
My Top Five:
1. J.R.R. Tolkien vs George R.R. Martin
2. Deadpool vs Boba Fett
3. Stan Lee vs Jim Henson
4. Ivan the Terrible vs Alexander the Great
5. Rasputin vs Stalin
AvengingXman2 mine:
5. Mother Teresa vs Sigmund Freud
4. Steve Irwin vs Jacques Cousteau
3. Rasputin vs Stalin
2. J.R.R Tolkien vs George R.R Martin
1. Edgar Allen Poe vs Stephen King
But most on your list is definitely my honorable mentions list
1 Thor and Zeus
2 Russians
3 joker and pennywise
4 Theodore and Winston
5 hannibal and jack
Ed Edd n Eddy vs The Power puff girls, make my childhood fight.
Holy hell that would be awesome!
If they do it their better be some jawl breaker joke's
I hope you’re doing more historical ones again, cos those are by far the best. Do something like
Peter Tordenskjold v Admiral Yi of Korea or
Hannibal of Carthage vs Leonids of Sparta or
Brian cox vs Niels Bohr
Definitely - historical battles truly shine, I don't know how they keep it getting better and better.
They already did Leonidas
1. Marilyn Monroe vs Cleopatra
1. George Washington vs William Wallace
2. Romeo and Juliet vs Bonnie and Clyde
3. Michael Jackson vs Elvis Presley
4. Tesla vs Edison
5. Gandhi vs Martin Luther King
Honorable mentions: Bruce Lee vs Clint Eastwood, Michael Jordan vs Muhammed Ali, Obama vs Romney
I couldn't restrict myself to 5 so i made a top 15:
TOP 15 ERB'S EVER MADE!!
15: Shaka Zulu vs Julius Ceasar
Is my Civilization fanboyism showing? Shaka was great, but Ceasar was bloody fenomenal
14: Hitler vs Vader part 1
A true classic. Showed the world how great the series is early on
13: Tolkien vs George R R Martin
The dream of every fantasy nerd. Tolkien was a fucking boss
12: Master Chief vs Leonidas
An unexpected battle, but great nontheless. Staring two of the greatest and most threatening rappers in the series
11: Gordon Ramsey vs Julia Child
Truly underrated. Gordon Ramsey's agression makes for some pretty flaming verses and Julia Child plays it off rather well. Not to mention that Gordon Ramsey himself has seen and loves this one
10: Movie director Battle Royale
Every actor performs their director exceedingly well, with more than enough unique traits to keep it interesting in each verse.
9: Mr T vs Mr Rogers
Probably the only battle i am including due to the existence of a single line. Mr Rogers final line was a career-ender for any opposition.
8: Frank Sinatra vs Freddy Mercury
Perhaps i am biased because these are 2 of my favorite singers. Sinatra is good, but Mercury is a bloody star!
7: Wonder Woman vs Stevie Wonder
Getting T-Pain for Stevie Wonder was one of the series' best decisions. He makes it look so easy, and brings serious questions to Wonder Woman's status as a feminist icon.
6: Jim Henson vs Stan Lee
Bit of a heart-breaker concidering what has happened to the rappers themselves. The melancholy is broken by Walt Disneys great final verse though.
5: Gandhi vs Mlk
How can you not love Key and Peele? The battle of pacifists was executed so well i have no ideas for improvements. Most agressive hug-out i've ever seen.
4: Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates
The battle that originally made me subscribe and stay looking for more content from this channel. The tempo, the verses, the lyrics... Perfect
3: Russian Battle royale
The first Battle royale rap battle in ERB and it is great. Also a nice guide to russian 20th century history. Every new rapper surpasses the previous. DAAAAAAA
2:
Philosopher battle
What Nice Peter said. So much brilliant thought and subtext behind each line. It should make every philosopher happy.
Honorable mentions: Elvis vs Michael Jackson, Roosevelt vs Churchill, Skrillex vs Mozart, James Bond vs Austin Powers, Trump vs Clinton
1: The Greats vs Ivan the Terrible
I put this as my nr. 1 because it tells a fun story. It is a fun idea with a brilliant execution and shows each part of ERB at its finest: The editing, the costumes, the writing and the performers. Everything is perfect. Ivan makes for a great villain and the Greats make for interesting adversaries. The perfect ERB.
I also agree that Ivan vs Alexander is the best
Could not agree with your top 2 more!
I'd say top 5 for me:
5) Rasputin vs Stalin, it's a classic. First battle royale like you said but they completely nailed it on the first shot. Another one I love so much I can recite by memory.
4) Gordon Ramsay vs Julia Child, I've always been a Ramsay fan and i think that with all the cooking jokes, the editing, and the jokes about the actual characters it's one of their more clever well put together battles.
3) Musk vs Zuckerberg, I know it's not an old video by any means, but it shows how they're always growing, they are always willing to do new things whether it be accents, or topics (the shift to social media based jokes instead of history jokes like many of the other battles)
2) Philosophers, been a favorite of mine and still one of the only ones I know off the top of my head by memory
Honorable mentions: Joan of Ark vs Miley Cyrus, Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates, Jim Henson vs Stan Lee, Donald vs Hillary (very close 6th place like super close), and White vs Grimes
1) Alexander the Great vs Ivan the Terrible (and others) like you said, overall its just such a perfect execution.
Honestly, Ghandi vs MLK is one of their worst. Ghandi's lines were great but MLK's lines were just Indian jokes. It's more of a MLK vs any Indian.
Dank Potatoes no boba vs dead pool?
I would love to see Dexter vs Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen)
They’re both psychopaths who influence the police forces so they wont be caught and they have an irresistible love for killing!
problem is though Hannibal has been used. What if we used Dexter vs Norman Bates?
Mr.Bubbles Well that was Anthony Hopkins’ Hannibal from Silence of the Lambs, while Mads Mikkelsen’s Hannibal is kinda different
Dexter bs ted bundy? Or someone like that??
@@bradmace9005 i agree with you that would be awesome
Prinze Delrosario Thanks!! :)
Yes. That top Five then this top Five cleared my mind of today and brought me a much appreciated smile. I got into your stream, back in like 2009, alone in Missoula and marveling at your work. Now getting my first world in order and feet on the ground in Orange. Stoked to bask in the lyrical ingenuity and the collaborative visual flow. Thanks Guys!
I see what you did with the title. I, for one, like it. Cool video. s.
Two questions:
1. What battles were scrapped from Season 5?
2. What ideas/lines were cut from Pete/Lloyd 2?
One of the things I love about the philosopher battle is that no one can agree who actually won. There's a channel that did a voting system, but the vote was 45-55 in favor of the easterners... but I'm guessing if you asked ever single one who they chose 50% of those who voted wouldn't be able to remember who they chose
*"s."*
I was looking for you
Brunigaa
Justin Y. “e. s.”
They just corrected it lol
How you make top comments everywere
I'm excited to hear Lloyd's favorites!
I agree on the philosophers battle being the best. When i get a craving for ERB I always start there before I go down the rabbit hole. The way the beat changes from character to character is friggin excellent.
I'm glad you made this video its always nice knowing which battles you guys love that become the foundation for future battles
5. Goku vs. Superman
4. Mr. T vs. Mister Rogers (i guess)
3. Ivan the Terrible vs. Alexander the Great
2. Eastern Philosophers vs. Western Philosophers
1. Jack The Ripper vs. Hannibal Lecter
Nice, someone else who thinks Jack the Ripper vs Hannibal Lecter was the best. Not only was it clever, but the actual beat/music was way more catchy than other rap battles!
Tylerredrocket Jack The Ripper vs Hannibal Lector was for sure their best rap battle
That Philosopher battle was something else. So many elements to balance. Definitely one of my top 5. Love that Zach Sherwin!
Yo.... Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde versus Frankenstein and His Monster?
...
Also god I love Dan Bull
that would be awesome
5) Ash Ketchum vs Charles Darwin
4) Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerburg
3) Stevie Wonder vs Wonderwoman
2) Darth Vader vs Adolf Hitler Trilogy
1) Boba Fett vs Deadpool
Why isn’t this put on ERB1 ? That channel has so many more subscribers. This video by itself deserves a lot more views.
Now we need Epic llyodd's list. WHEN?
The philosopher battle will always be one of my favourites. Hope you find a way to bring back the guys who played the eastern philosophers for a future battle.
4:07 when a dude tells his friend about his first bone
😂😂😂 I got to this comment right when it came on!
Savontae Diggs 🤣🤣🤣
So honestly, I totally agree with you on place 1, 2 and 4 (though 4 might be my number 3^^). I love those to death. Another one I recently came to appreciate a lot is James Bond vs Austin Powers. Sean Connery's entrance and 1st verse are just so fucking great! But because that was pretty much my favourite part I would put that in 4th. 5th was hard for me to decide but I really enjoy Barack Obama vs Mitt Romney. But as you said, that is just my CURRENT selection, seeing as you guys have made SO MANY awesome Battles. I thank each and every one of you for all the hard work and effort and love you have put into this. They really show off the love and care you guys have for this project and I hope it continues to be successful until you want to do something new :)
The Method Man and B. Franks lines in the philosophers battle are the best you guys have ever written.
Second hand Porsche/Portia,
I even squint better than you,
I'm celibate - cause I don't give a fuck,
Scarlet Fever - TB - Gotta catch 'em all,
Are some of my favourites.
Light sabre? You need a light saver! Use some of your force to fix your f***ing respirator!
@@johnsolace2588 life* saver. I'm assuming that was a typo but If you had one of your fav lines wrong that's even better lmao
@@illusions500 obviously a typo xD
What I love about your rap battles is how well researched they are and amazingly the lyrics all fit together and pun together. Not to mention the beats are genuinely awesome.
My favorite: Rasputin vs Stalin!
Our favorite
@@armored_potato_1153 lol
Ra-Ra-Rasputin.
Lover of the Russian queen
Anarchy there was a cat that really was gone
the philosopher rap battle was my first erb i've ever watched.
Mine was Martin Luther King vs gahndi and that's how I found out about ERB
Ooooh my...the shadows in Theodore vs Churchill. I've never noticed and I've seen it many times (one of favorites). That's an awesome thing to know and I can appreciate the video much more!
What's funny is that it is probably Bugs Bunny Vs. Freddy Krueger
OK, that could really rock!!!! :) Glad to see you all back to making battles. I have honestly missed you guys/gals doing what made your channel famous to start with. Let the Epic Rap Battles continue!!!!! :)
Rasputin VS Stalin is pure gold
both of you are so smart, and it is mind blowing how many jaw dropping lyrics you have put forward.
I think my favorite ERB is Sherlock vs. Batman, because of how differently it flows. Some of my other favorites are Caesar vs. Zulu, Hawk vs. Gretzky, and Picasso vs. Ross.
This is pretty bang on in my opinion, I completely agree with the number one pick, that one is pretty perfect
You are awesome dude! Just keep having fun and ERB will continue to be awesome.
My favourite of all time is Picasso vs. Bob Ross. Bob Ross just rocks it in that one.
Wooooooooo! Love you guys!!! Can not wait to see more :D
Peter, Oprah vs Ellen is one of my personal favorites and probably the most underrated ERB. I'm glad you hold it in high regard.
soon as i saw that glove i instantly thought of wolverine vs freddy kruger
It’s almost like having a Monday show again :)
You guys are the flat-out, no-foolin' best thing on the internet.
This stuff will live forever.
Now we know why.
I’ve been watching for as long as I can remember but if I had to choose a favorite it would have to be
Jack The Ripper vs Hannibal Lecter
Or Julius Caesar vs Shaka Zulu. But as many people agree it could change and it does, it’s so hard to choose when every battle is incredibly made.
I’d love to see Captain America vs Captain Marvel
Rick and Morty vs Dipper and Mable
Spongebob vs Winnie the Pooh
Iron man vs Spider man
Some of these are off the top of my head.
Btw if erb2 like this I’ll crap my pants
Love the videos!!
*Freddy Krueger vs Wolverine* 😎😎😎
Thank you for putting the full video at the end
That Philosophers Battle is fantastic.
Steve Jobs Vs. Bill Gates will always be my absolute favorite.
That twist in the very end... Gotta love you guys!
My favorite one is Eminem vs a bag of M&M’s.
You sir, are everywhere
what about the Red M&M
Yung Cash Register aka Lil Broomstick would need less than 10% of his skills to beat Em
*Really*
*Top Ten Rappers Eminem is Too Scared to Battle*
Bugs Bunny and Freddie Kruger? Are you guys battling the Nerd?
Bugs Bunny? What?Where?
NVM in the end, but I think it's a joke. Or maybe Flash in the Pan.
Bugs probably a joke
Man I'm just glad you're back!
I might be biased this season after Wolverine vs Freddy Kruger
It's harder to decide number 1 favourite but the ones I have watched the most are:
Deadpool vs Boba Fett
Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton
Artists vs TMNT
Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates
Cleopatra vs Marilyn Monroe
Mario Bros vs Wright Bros
Mozart vs Skrillex
Bob Ross vs Pablo Picasso
Zeus vs Thor
Eastern vs Western philosophers
Tolkien vs Martin
Gordon Ramsey vs Julia Child
Wonder Woman vs Stevie Wonder
CRAG I know they are doing Krueger but are you sure he’s vs Wolverine?
@@amirunz6879 Id like it more if the put Krueger vs Jason Voorhees vs Michael Myers vs Ghostface or something like that
@Claridge Hopefully Edward Scisssorhands makes an appearance in that one.
Maybe, but I thinks it's Freddie vs Jason (after the movie)
@Brock Lesnar Alpha Male what you mean by worst lol... they were great
The fact he’s literally done an ERB with Snoop Dogg and didn’t mention it, that’s a boss move
