    Epic Rap Battles of History proudly presents the George Watsky collection. Three rap battles and a song (written and recorded in one hour during a studio visit). George Watsky has been a great friend and collaborator over the years and if you haven't seen him live yet, trust us it is worth every effort.
    New thing of some sort as often as we can here on ERB2, as we get ready for ERB Season 6 of the Epic Rap Battles of History.
    See you soon,
    nice peter & epiclloyd

    Ching Shih (1775-1844), also known as Cheng I Sao, was a former pirate who once terrorized the China Seas in the early 19th century. She commanded over 300 ships manned by 20,000 to 40,000 pirates. She is widely considered to be the most successful pirate in history, based on the fact that she commanded the largest crew ever assembled, and that she died in her own bed as a free woman.
    based on this i conclude that Ching Shih (aka probably the most underrated badass in all of history) is definitely worthy for an ERB. i suggest either Mary I, Isabelle I, Elizabeth Bathory or Mulan as her opponent.

      thanks for all the comments, everyone. though i don't really like having Ching Shih battle another pirate; they didn't have Blackbeard battle another pirate. that's why i suggested a bunch of equally badass/terrifying women in history and fiction i could find for her opponent.

      Vitória Sousa That was all part of the joke, though. At the time, there was this weird conspiracy theory that Lady Gaga was a man. So having Nice Peter play her in the battle was a nod to that. The lyrics also referenced that theory several times. Happily, that particular “rumor” about Lady Gaga seems to have died out. I cannot see that having Lloyd or Peter cross-dress is going to be a regular solution. See also: any African American characters are also played by guests.
