My Top 50 Best ERB Verses of All Time

Поделиться

  • Опубликовано: 2 ноя 2022
  • Too many ERB verses, too many great ones to choose from. There are plenty that feel like they should absolutely be in the top 50 but aren't simply due to the huge # of verses, but most of these are MY absolute favorites to listen to/analyze, especially due to how stylish or brutal they were (so list is gonna be diss-based but not entirely).
    Ik I'm bound to miss more than a few verses that probably deserve to be on my personal list. It is a bit old now, but feel free to point out which ones I might've even missed on accident (Thor/Zeus, Juliet, etc.)
    Note: Small typos on some texts. Goku's 2nd verse should've been #35. Should've also put Vader and Adolf's verses higher xD.

      Ironically enough, that battle is my favorite ERB ever, so I was actually contemplating on whether or not to put a majority of its verses on here, though I didn’t want to make this video contain multiple verses from the same battles too many times lol.
      As for Catherine's verse, I actually think it's either the most or 2nd most well written verse for the entire battle, but the singing kinda ruins it as an actual verse for me, unfortunately. Still, it should still be pretty close to being on the top 50 if I were to make an extended version.

But for me, that rap battle is one of my favorites. King really went hard with the line "perving on your cousin when she was 13 years old, now that's disturbing" because Poe married his first cousin when she was 13 years old haha.

      otherwise, yeah, they're pretty close, but i could still see why you or anyone would prefer harry's verses. it just goes to show how good it was because there's never been such a dissonance (as to who actually won) of that degree in an erb battle.

In battles where a guest is performing their role but I can tell if EL's or NP's performing their voice, I didn't count it as a Guest but to whoever's voice it was (Boba Fett for example counted towards NP).
    EpicLloyd: lllll lllll lllll lll (18)
    NicePeter: lllll lllll lllll ll (17)
    Zach: lll (3)
    Guest: lllll lllll llll (14)
    Yes, Zach gets his own count too. I'm surprised Poe v. King didn't make top 50. This list was pretty even if you add Zach's bars with the Guest count and keep in mind I did not count the honorable mentions. I personally have always preferred EL's bars over NP but he's got some good ones too, especially Oppenheimer. My favorite verse has got to be both of Master Chief's or both of Ben Franklin's from way back when.
