While we can probably all agree that Rambo came in 3rd, you gotta give Peter credit for pulling off a verse like that while doing a solid Stallone impersonation.
They all were 10/10 in character, mad props to all of them for that. I'd say it was about between two 9.5/10s and a 10/10 overall. McClain won 1st while the other two tied for 2nd. I'd also have to give mad props to Peter for making someone like Rambo even able to participate in a rap battle... Rambo wasn't a deep, clever, or articulate speaker.
@@That80sGuy1972 I don't know about Rambo lines, at first I thought they were weak but the more I listen to them the more I find them funny, it must be Nice Peter delivery.
@@paulll47 Exactly. :)
@@That80sGuy1972 maybe In the sequels, but the 1st movie wasn’t like that
@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 He spoke so little and expressed so little in the 1st movie it allowed you to interpret him to be more than what he was. I thought the same thing until I watched all the movies back to back. Rambo, socially speaking, was a really simple guy. All of his brainpower ended up being tied up in being an epic-level soldier, forged that way from his post-high-school youth all through his adulthood via training and combat experience. That's part of what made him really believable. I'm the only non-veteran in my family that loved that character as much as I do.
McClane came at him like a shotgun. Effective, hard hitting, deadly, but no flash, no style. Wick was like an antique knife, not the hardest hitting but just more impressive and interesting. Rambo was an RPG. Not flash, no precision, but got the job done.
Perfect description.
Frrrr. I could see a decent case for any of the three of em winning
wait... that sounds like the Shopping Gun Scene of John Wick 2
Definitely.
pin this, its done
It's been said a few times already, and it's true.
2:39 - *_"How bout a little hakuna matata, Baba Yaga?"_* might be the most John McClane thing to ever be said by someone who isn't even John McClane. I don't know how Lloyd is always able to *_LITERALLY MORPH_* into his Role, but he never misses.
Yeah like even with the roosevelt erb he looked just like the man himself
Except Batman
@@technewseveryweek8332 Peter played Batman not Lloyd, Lloyd played Robin
@SamoaVsEverybody814"with your brooding saga.." that kills me 😅😅

It's really hard to not choose John Wick because his buttery flow of classy punches and flexes reminds you of the beautiful game and almost makes you forget how hardcore disrespectful McClane's pure bars were.
I feel like it's a matter of who didn't lose, and I think Wick definitely didn't lose, the only bar against him was like 2 bars about dogs.
@@ChayChay0510 "More survival wife"
"Your acting falls flatter than the Hans, Gruber"
"Leave the underground coin game to Mario Brothers"
"I'm like this prick's ring finger, I only need one clip"
"Your High Table rules don't apply to this conflict, I'll finish you right in the lobby Mission Accomplished"
@@RudockAviar I forgot about survival wife, that was good, and the mario bros one. The rest were meh.
@@RudockAviar he still rebuttal all those bars
@@ChayChay0510 I think all of the Wick disses towards McClain were kinda weak, but Rambo really hit McClain hard. Overall, I'd definitely say McClain had the best and most memorable disses though
Gotta give this one to McClane but the "decent dad" diss from Rambo was crazy fucking disrespectful.
Rambo low-key had personal beef with him
You asked about who's playing John Wick: That's Zach Sherwin, he's been in several ERBs and usually assists with writing in tons more.
I will be honest, I totally did not recognize Zach.
He was also “Alexander the Great”
@@theasexualidiot4803 And Voltaire in East vs West philosophers

@@theasexualidiot4803 And Sherlock holmes I believe to.
"I feel like no matter who I choose, I'm going to be wrong"
This, to me is the mark of a great ERB - where you literally can't choose a winner because the sides in contention were neck and neck.
This one was definitely a brilliant battle.
ERB is the one channel that still reaches new fights after 10 years.
...and neck.
@MKDumas1981 not gonna lie, it was just neck and neck. Imo rambo didn’t do so hot. But mclane and wick are a different story
Ngl this was a beat down i don't see anybody but Mclaine as the winner
well i mean, there are cases of stalemates. Ex: lady gaga and sarah palin, adam and eve, dumbledore and gandalf
As smooth as Wick’s flow was, the disrespect of McClaine was just unstoppable
Fr
Agreed. Honestly, that first one - "You, less survival knife,. You more survival wife!" That would have been the end of it, were it not for Wick dropping some fire.
Facts
McClain had an edge, his character is supposed to be disrespectful. He simply cannot lose points for that... and Epic L was a perfect choice for that, he does angry really well and that translates easily into a cynical jackass like McClain.
The Taliban/Mujahaddin line was weak, even if it set up the 'with a vengeance' line.
So close, but have to go with McClaine, with Wick a close second.
John Wick was Zach Sherwin. One of the most frequent ERB collaborators. He’s played…
- Albert Einstein
- Doc Brown
- Sherlock Holmes
- Ebenezer Scrooge
- Stephen King
- Egon Spengler
- Voltaire
- Walt Disney
- Alexander The Great
- Wayne Gretzky
and has helped write so many more battles for ERB as well.
He's one of my favorite guests on ERB
I just knew in my heart he was gonna miss that parrabelum bar. (For those that don't know) A parrabelum is a semiautomatic pistol. And "Si vis pacem, para bellum" in Latin means "If you want peace, prepare for war"
Also to make it more fun, parabellum was the name of the third John WIck movie.
@@Shinxy28 its a prety complex bar. I honestly only know the Latin translation because of the Punisher movie
Parabellum is not a pistol in of itself. 9x19 Parabellum is the most popular type of round for pistols and submachine guns ever since the end of WW2. It is used in nearly all popular modern semiauto handguns, for sure, but the name’s for the round, not the guns.
Winston also quotes that Latin in the 3rd movie.
@@Turt3752 word, thanks for the info. I'm not really a gun guy.
While we can agree Rambo didn't win (we all won) his presence was definitely a plus here. He wasn't a punching bag and this is definitely something better than if it was just two Johns.
I liked that they stayed in character, we all know rambo isnt the smartest, and that mcclain is a smart ass.. while wick just is smooth and efficient, that they were able to do the raps and keep it in character makes it nearly impossible to say who won. Very well done.

@@Sonic_the_Hedge-hog depends on if they’re in high school
@@Sonic_the_Hedge-hog Oh you'd be surprised
The Josh battle
Definitely close - I'm giving it to John Wick just because I think Zach Sherwin made a better John Wick than Lloyd made a John McClane. Super cool battle overall - Rambo was played a bit for laughs but it's not like he got rolled, either. He had his shots.
Okay but watch it again and tell me that Zach Sherwin didn't play John Wick as if he was played by Nicholas Cage
@@InternetsDadGaming even better
@@InternetsDadGaming so his acting would be better?
Lloyd in the first round sounded more like his Al Capone.
@@embran8486 that's what i was thinking, similar to frank sinatra or al capone
Wick is played by Zach Sherwin, my absolute favourite ERB participant. Played Einstein back in the day, Alexander the Great, Sherlock Holmes, Frank Voltaire (Western Philosophers) and many more. He's always got great wordplay and I believe he's a writer on many other ERB's too.
Including Scru's lol
He never recognizes Zach and doesn't even realize they worked together.
Or he's fucking with us.
@@Adamdidit I'm thinking Zach only helped write Lloyd's verse in that battle since Scru pretty much wrote his own, and Scru mentioned he hadn't heard Lloyd's full verse
@@isabellataylor8810 Even so there's better than 50/50 odds he spoke with Zach during the process.
I really think he's fucking with us.
I need to see an ERB battle between Zach and Scru. Those two would go crazy with whomever characters they play. And honestly, give em 4 rounds instead of 3.
Gotta go with McClane. Wick had some real good flows and some good punches, but none of them were able to overcome McClane's, especially with the "Survival wife" and "dog pushing up daisies" bars
I kinda wish that Wick had hit McClane with a rebuttal on that, "like at least my wife was happy when she died, when they asked Holly if she was married, man she lied."
Although McClane dissing Wick about his wife makes no damn sense when his own marriage is going down the drain. Wick takes the win for me here.
Rambos tight vent line was BRUTAL though
Yeah the wife line didn't make as much sense from him. And on top of that there are very few people that can argue against the 3 chapters without sucking diss. Wick takes the win for me
Yeah, I'm definitely feeling McClane's bars. Rambo definitely needed to had come in, machine guns blazing.
Nice Peter is usually the "straight guy" while Epic Lloyd usually hams it up. Rambo was the best thing ever and the fact that it was him doing made it even better. Him just screaming "it's not over" made me genuinely laugh 😂. Everyone slept on him.
It reminded me of Michael bay
@@ek9589 yeah but that's part of having watched them forever doing different roles.
@@ek9589 yeah they have the same overly masculine action hero accent
That line from McClane to Rambo about “never the W without the P and O” is one of the biggest upper cuts I’ve ever heard in an ERB. And it was an opener…
This guy is cool. He should totally be in an ERB video.
He was just in one. :) ruclips.net/video/fCeUvPL9rMc/видео.html
@@iChristina2012 you just missed the joke
@@iChristina2012 r/woosh
@@mrwheat1270 HAHAH😂
fr tho
McClane went for the throat. It felt like Wick worked a little too hard for that cryptocurrency line. All his swagger really underlined McClane's diss about him appearing fancy, but being flat like Gruber.
Rambo wasn't interested in fancy lyrical tricks. He was a straight talking wildcard (that popped up like toast). But that mud camo face... That was a little haunting.
Rambo was my favourite in this despite him being the clear loser. Just such a fun performance done by Peter there and I think they portrayed Rambo perfectly, he also had some pretty nasty lines thrown in there which made it all the better. ERB has been on a hot streak and having such a great battle when it’s the first 3 way free-for-all they’ve ever done was truly impressive.
I agree with Scru’s ranking too, McClane definitely threw the hardest punches. Wick was incredible, would have won most battles if it wasn’t for McClane.
Only other time I can think of where I loved the clear loser of a battle the most was Austin Powers (Ironically another 3 man battle and maybe on a technicality the first 3 man free-for-all they did (Powers didn’t really get to go at both so doesn’t really count in my mind)).
Bond was relentless and beat him in a pure rap battle sense but Powers was just a great performance and was hilarious, Rambo here reminds me of that. Great battle overall.
I think Peter really has a knack for bringing out comedic performances and absolutely killing them- I loved his portrayal of Austin Powers as well, and the way he did Rambo completely and utterly WORKED.
If it was just Rambo vs McClane then he would have won for sure imo
Powers is definitely one of the most underrated characters in ERB
McClane was just too hard, Wick was clean and efficient, but I feel that while he got the job done McClane went above and beyond the call of duty so to speak. Rambo got some good hits in but he overall felt lacking. To me it's 3. Rambo, 2. Wick, 1. McClane.
-John wages war on John and vanquishes the evil of John- I mean what
McClane’s survival wife bar was nuclear and that POW one was up there too. Gotta give it to him
It's not only POW, it's also a wop)
Mclaine was VICIOUS with his hits, Wick had the smooth flow with his shots. I honestly aint sure who wins between them because rambo just doesnt measure up in skill. Even his shots didnt hit as hard because they felt like the sentences didnt fit together quite right.
Zach Sherwin is just too good, always has the most interesting flows. If they ever get you back on (they'd better!), I'd love to see you take on Zach.
This one was amazing but I still kinda think the Alexander verse is his best yet
Zach helped write some of the Bezos lines, so, in a way, he did.
McClane had the best disses, Wick had the smarts and the flow, but I'm giving it to Rambo on the grounds that he had to overcome the way the character talks and still beat out some good bars.
Scru is the best reactor I've seen so far, hope your doing well scru!!
McClaine was definitely the most disrespectful with his punches. Wick came in smooth and buttery and had a good mix of flexing and punching, but he was a bit more tame with it. Rambo was more humor focused which made it hit that much harder when he got a good swing in, but the impersonation was top notch.
I think the main thing was simply that Rambo and McClane fired more at each other than Wick, who got to take shots at them both pretty equally. Makes it a bit hard to judge since Rambo seems to have the weaker verse, and McClaine's stronger verse doesn't often take enough hits at Wick to say who is the overall winner.
I guess if I had to pick, I'll give it to John.
McClain Rambo or wick?
@@shauntelmeralltard3376 That's the joke.
A new ERB and Scru reaction to go wit it? Christmas coming early for the filthy animals😂‼️
I saw this new ERB and immediately couldn't wait for you to react to it lol. Can't believe it took less than a couple of hours to wait. Didn't expect a same day reaction.
right.. me neither 😲
The video hasn't been out for an hour and you already have a reaction. You there are the goat reactor
McClain hit more often, Wick’s pen, style, and power of the punch were harder. Question is, quality over quantity or quantity over quality?
Edit: I think Wick won because McClain targeted Rambo more and Rambo attacked McClain more, so Wick was hit less and targeted them both with a lethal fucking pen.
Nah, McClane threw three massive blows at wick "leave you pushin up daisys" and "you, more survival wife" and "lock this in a hole in the groud", so he spent the rest of the time punching rambo lightly. Youre right about wick's pen though, sherwin is unreal. that po-po flow was incredible.
I don't think Rambo took ANY shots at Wick
@@MrSquare he says he’ll not obey the rules of the wick films and kill him in the lobby that’s about it
@@christopherfloody5555 "Only one of us to go three chapters without sucking"
His last line at McClain "When you fell off with a vengeance"
The cryptocurrency.
People think Wick didn't take shots at Mclain but a lot of his hits were doubles.
@@christopherfloody5555 plus John shaft.
John Wick easily won for me. Like, Rambo was simply acting more than he was spewing bars...which is nice, but in terms of the actual 'battle', he sadly was not up to the bar. So, between Wick and McClane, I have to give it to Wick, because McClane was mostly just bashing everyone and being obnoxious, while Wick was a lot more calm, direct, passionate, and lethal. It was like a silent assassin going at an insane soldier rushing straight at you. Wick won.
McClane was just so great though, he was nonstop destroying them. Wick had some great lines though
" because McClane was mostly just bashing everyone and being obnoxious"
Yes? a Rap battle has to include that.
This isn't a song, he can go and be smooth in his own time. A rap battle is time for punching in the face.
Wick did not win 😂😂😂
Jean, the part where Wick said “ooh, i’m gonna need a dinner reservation for two.” means that he’s gonna need a cleaning crew to clean the bodies. He said it in the first movie and the first half of JW2 iirc.
Well damn that was quick. I think John hard the hardest bars, John had the best flow, and John had the best disses.
I think John won.
nah, John was in the lead for a moment but then John went in... John definitely won!
Bro! John Wick's opening line was a bar all by itself. "I'm gonna need a dinner reservation for two". When ya mans calls the clean up for the dead bodies. 🔥🔥
Best flow: John
Best disses: John
Best wordplay: John
Winner: THE AUDIENCE
John McClane is now the second ERB contestant to win two consecutive back to back Don DeMarkos in one verse
The first was Albert Einstein
What about Joan Rivers?
@@Kubikjelinek lol, Joan Rivers has been the most disrespectful one to do it in ERB, along Sigmund Freud
I think Joan Rivers was a Don Demarko machine gun, she just got way more than 2.
@@rafaelnarcio9997 Scru started getting annoyed at how she was just gunning them down with no repercussion lol.
The think with Joan Rivers is that the Don DeMarkos were plenty they weren’t consecutive back to back in one verse. They were nasty bars but not DeMarkos
This one needs to be revisited Scru.
McClane came over the most aggressive but Wick had the cleanest and most surgical lines I my opinion.
The only problem i have with scruface reactions to ERB's is that he misses the subtle disses. The amount of random knowledge makes it understandable how people miss them but I still love the videos either way=)
@KlazeGamez yeah, and especially on the first watch.
John Wick definitely won his flow was too tight. Btw, he's played by Zach Sherwin, an amazing rapper and writer for ERB. He also played Walt Disney, Alexander the Great, Scrooge, and Stephen King in the ERB series.
This was an entertaining battle, and Lloyd's portrayal of John McClane was SPOT ON.
The only thing I really dislike about it, is that my late friend couldn't be here to see it with me. Die Hard was his favorite movie.
He went a little too high pitched at certain points imo. For example when he says "bare feet" in the beginning.
His voice was a little too high
@Aditya Rao it’s way better because it’s low effort. He comes off with the exact vibe of the die hard movies: satirical and assholic to an absurd degree, the more lowkey impression but still being spot on makes it much more on tone
11:05 Scru and McClane yelled “Whoa!” at the same time!
I will go with John Wick just because he had the least amount of Don Demarcos aimed at him and in my opinion has the least amount of dirt that can be used against him.
Problem is I think with the more survival wife line all of that dirt was dumped on top of him lol
They all had different battle techniques, but Rambo's specifically wasn't a great choice when going last. McClane went diss after diss after diss like a gun firing, but Wick balanced dissing with building himself up and used penmanship to help balance things in his favour. McClane I think his disses will be remembered longer than Wick's but Rambo's performance will outlast both. But at the time of watching it, I say Wick won, however my opinion will change later to favour McClane
“PTSDeez nuts” is still one of my favorite lines
I love the twist they did on their yearly Christmas Battle
Wick looks and sounds familiar for one reason: he is an old face.
Zach Sherwin has entered the building, after maybe 5 years from his last ERB appearance in Tony Hawk vs. Wayne Gretzky,
So happy to see Zach Sherwin back in an ERB
McClane hit hard with the disses and his candor attitude but Wick's flow coupled with his cadence and disrespectful lines in his bars made him the clear winner.
This was such an unexpected ERB and I’m here for it lol this was great
Wick had the best flow and rhyme plus the best disses scheme and Zach has an amazing John Wick impression,the battle was super close though.
In all the comments, I have yet to see someone tie in that CRYPTocurrency line.... because crypts are where the now deceased combatants rest. ;)
Wick won this handily, and I'm a fan of all 3 movie sets. There is so much subtlety and grace in his lines, and yet so much damage... McClane did great, but Wick was the assassin.
Rambo: Not too flashy
Wick: Clever and precise
McClane: Pure disrespect
It feels like McClane won but how can you give it to him after Rambo wrecked his shit like that?
Best above the belt disses: McClane
Best below the belt disses: Rambo
Least damage taken: Wick
Really cool how the results mirror the characters so well.
This was worth a 3 way dances in ERB and definitely worth it with "ho ho ho" being there since people still debate if Die Hard counts as a Christmas movie and posted just before Christmas.
Personally I choose John Wick. Not only did he have punches but he had that buttery flow, all while maintaining a damn near perfect persona. Mclane had bars and I'd definitely say he was a extremely close 2nd but while the others were imo true to their characters, Mclane was more Epic Lloyd. I gotta give it up to Nice Peter a damn near perfect rendition of Rambo but his portrayal took away from the bars.
I’ve never been this early before.
Love your ERB reactions
This one was really fun and nostalgic. McLean made me laugh the most though. And the way Rambo came in with “NOTHING IS OVER!” Had me dying. 😂
This is one of my favorite ERB's! When John Wick said "ooh"! I lost it!
Rambo came out punching, but you were mimicking him, so you missed it.. "I just turn it off" It wasn't great but it was still a punch at both of them... And McClain won
Wicks first line needing a reservation for two is assassin talk in his series about needing two body bags so his first line is saying you both will be dead when this is over so ill just make the call in front of both of them so they arrive when I'm done
Actually, Rambo's "I'`ll finish you right in the lobby, mission accomplished" makes it more badass in my opinion. There is nothing more dangerous than an enemy who couldn't care less about legal vs illegal in terms of territorial immunity. I'll be totally honest, if it weren't for the "no fighting on Hotel grounds" rule, John Wick would already have been killed by someone in the first 3 movies. So Rambo's line implication, ie. "I don't give a shit about your high table rules" is more underrated than some of you might think, as Rambo just robbed Wick off of Wick's only physical-space safe zone basically. The only territorial immunity that Wick had from other assassins was the hotel grounds, and now Rambo can more easily attack him and finish him off, that's what Rambo is basically saying.
Also, "why don't you go lock your mouth in a hole in the ground" is a reference to the Knock Knock 2015 movie with Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeve's was tied up by these two Psycho girls as he was abused by them. So basically McClane is embarrassing Keanu Reeves here, not necessarily the character John Wick as such, but it is still a Don De Marco in that respect and a good movie reference.
Exactly! Also he is basically making wicks second movie seem completely useless.
Any ERB with Zach Sherwin in it instantly goes to the top of the list. His writing style is so damn cerebral I can't get enough of it!
John Wick was Zach Sherwin. Its never too late to go on a Zach Sherwin reaction crusade. He was MCMrNapkins in the past and has some real roller coasters of songs.
"if the rapper Biz Markie decided to have a female dog he could call it Miz Barkie" from his song SWITCHITUP still haunts me
@Aditya Rao spread the word
" does your lip hang low? Does it wobble to and frow? Can you string that shit up on your compound bow?" Was too good
Sir, first of all, I love your enthusiasm; that needs to be said before anything else.
Rambo - There were times when his rhythm went off into a ditch; from around 9:38 to around 11:00 I was wondering if I was having a seizure. Still, his best was very good.
McClane - Strong, consistent performance all the way around; also, being first up in a 3-way is high-pressure and deserves recognition. And, though it wasn't strictly a diss, "And lighten up Wick with your brooding saga. How about a little hakuna matata Baba Yaga?"
Wick - IMO this is a clean win and double kill. I appreciate extra literacy in a rap battle and, "Bitcoin? No. Hitcoin? Certainly. I'll put you two in tombs and call it cryptocurrency." and "Those were mujahideen; there's a difference. The Taliban formed in the 90s when you fell off with a vengeance." certainly qualified.
im a little late but when john wick says "i need a dinner reservation for two" is a reference to the fact that in the movies dinner reservation is code for body disposal
In terms of movies, Rambo is my fav, always will be, but this rap I genuinely can't decide
Dude, @ 2:30 after the POW line, you start looking like someone waiting to open the best surprise gift when Lloyd starts talking about Stallone's lip issue.
I have to go with wick because the lyrics and flow were impeccable
John Wick caught him two absolute BODIES. He was continuously punching and that rhyme scheming was STOOOOOPID fire. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I agree wick's verse was 🔥🔥🔥
I actually unironically think Rambo won. He just was the most accurate (unlike McClane) and didnt feel too much like a Dad joke like Wick.
Fr I agree. Lloyd’s McClane had good hits and Zack Sherwin wins on flow (like he usually does), but Nice Peter playing Rambo was just too damn funny and he had good enough bars to take the cake
@KlazeGamez ah to each his own I guess. I remember laughing my ass off the whole time he was on screen. And I don’t think anybody can drop a bomb as hard as that “McClane family Christmas” line and get slaughtered.
McClaine's Daisies line hits different when you remember that Wick's first dog, the one that dies, is named Daisy.
ERB done did it again 🤣🍿
OH DAMN!!! I was just browsing through ppl's reactions to it and apparently I just stumbled upon Mansa Musa... Wow... Good job winning your rap battle...
🔥5 DonDemarcos🔥
McLaine - 3
Wick - 1
Rambo - 1
When the guy stand up from the chair like he's looking for cover after McClane talk about Wick's wife 🤣
If I went with how accurately the characters were represented, I'd have to go McClane 3rd, Rambo 2nd, and Wick 1st. While Llyod is good as McClane, he lacked the tounge in cheek feel that Bruce Willis brought to it, and was -TOO- serious. If I went by the hits, and how hard they hit, I'd still give it to Wick, McClane being second, Rambo being third, because he went all offense, and lacked any defense. Wick was a back and forth, and Rambo, well...he just never really got rolling.
12:34 "who won that?" - Just started watching your channel after seeing you in the last ERB. Really like hearing you break this down.
I gotta give the win to John Wick. John McClane came in doing nothing but dissing with almost little to no swagger. Oh yeah McClane came out swinging but when your strategy is to tear your opponents down it ain't gonna fly with me.
John Wick had the smoothest flow, a good ratio of flexes to disses. He also had the longest and most continuous series of bars, rhyme schemes, and disses I have ever seen in any ERB to date. The fact that he was able to hit them both without missing a beat is fire, just absolute destruction. It had word play, it had disses, doubles, triples, you name it it had it.
Honestly I think these 3 represent each side of a rap battle. McClane is when you try to win with nothing but disses and little to no flexing. Rambo is the opposite where he did a LOT of flexing and little dissing. Wick was a good balance between the two.
I see that a lot but I just think that Cryptocurrency currency line just... Felt out of place here and he didn't necessarily earn it. Other than that, I liked John Wick but he also lacked actual disses, so I'd say in that department, it was fairly unbalanced but probably the best flow in the battle but it's like the actual actor, he's very nice and has shown some fancy set of skills, but his actual acting skills... Leave a few things too be desired outside of Bill and Ted. McClain came in firing and didn't stop, like the actual character would do, so I feel all of them were properly represented but honestly it's called a rap battle and if you're lacking in the department where you're tearing your opponent too shreds and just talking about how bad ass you are, that can only go so far. McClain took it for me as I enjoyed his rhyming scheme and the fact that he ripped into everyone quite proficiently while also mentioning that he's bad ass, takes it for me.
@@fordprefect5967 well it's kind of a double. That current cryptocurrency is a decentralized form of money currently only used in few formats, much like the gold coins of John Wick's place. It's also a play on words, the word crypt being a place where the dead are buried. So he is essentially referring to his money as literal blood money.
@@Kage342 I know what Cryptocurrency is, but thank you for breaking that down for me, that line isn't as bad as I thought it was, it's not the best line in the battle in my opinion still but it's gained a new meaning. Thank you for that
@@fordprefect5967 it's a line that can be missed if you aren't looking at it or listening. Notice how he puts real emphasis on the word "crypt." But I am glad I could help you out. Definitely not the best line, I agree, but I am happy I can help shed light on it.
@@Kage342 Indeed, again, I appreciate it. Have an awesome day
Deeply reminds me of the old ERB’s
Wick had skill and technique, but the disrespect on McClane was so plapable. It's gotta be McClane for me.
The winner? All of us. They need a round two for this one.
You should react to Adam vs Eve
Damn you got to this one quick af lmao
Ask me if I give a fuck about a diss
Wick straight ASSASINOED the BOTH of them.The 3 chapters line was MAJOR and when you compare the SWAG, CLOUT and STYLE there's just NO contest.
Wrong, John Wick fan boy.
Those movies are boring as shit and he came 2nd in this battle.

One thing I only now noticed about rambo. He spent 95% of his time fighting mcclaine. I wonder if thats because of the first rambo movie dealing with awful cops attacking him.
It's close, but I think John clutched it out.
Eh, I personally gotta hand it to John. Still respect your opinion though
I have to give it to John, honestly, but it was close
I personally think John won.
I really like how they’re all sort of Rock Paper Scissors where each one owns another in their verses
McClaine for me, hands down he was out the gate swinging and he never let up. John Wick was probably the most cerebral in his writing but his zings were not as spicy, and Rambo was… On character lol, but not on top here imho.
Bro your such a good editor how the flip did you get it out this fast
I think they all had some pretty good jabs and lines, but honestly I felt like John Wick escaped with the least damage dealt.
Glad to have you here at erb scru.
John got this, easy. Not so much John, or John. It was definitely John.
Now you need to watch the behind the scenes
This is one of the best ones, as.it really felt like the actual character's style & feel in the movies. Like it actually felt like I was watching a real life battle between the 3 vs actors posing as them.
I'm still a bit of a novice of understanding rap battle flow, but for me, I'm wondering how much self promoting do you need to do along with punching? Wick did the most self promotion of the 3, while McClane spent the majority of his time trying to bow his way through them. It feels very Wick like for him to take the punches & keep moving like it was nothing, throwing some solid hits back. If a rap battle is dependant on overall most solid hits, the McClane all the way. If you can survive a battle by slipping around the punches & show how much better you are, then Wick takes it.
Well it's a mix of both really with perhaps a slight emphasis on power of the diss. Yeah you might have better disses but if the flow's choppy then it's not gonna sound as fire as it would have had the cadence been delivered better. And though Wick ran him close in that regard, I think McClain took the W
once I saw they uploaded I knew it would be only time before scru would react
