Mozart didn’t need to open his mouth for me for him to win. Just knowing he was a child prodigy, wrote his first symphony at age 8, first full scale opera at 12, and the world still listens to his music 300 years later, with psychologists recommending his music for certain anxieties…..the Austrian wins hands down.
The line that cinched it for me was when Mozart said Skrillex smelled of a dead mouse. Dead Mau5 is an electronica DJ who has done house, synth wave, dark wave, techno, trance, and brostep(the style of dubstep most people are most familiar with). Skrillex started off doing emo, then jumped over to brostep, because he was always chasing popular trends and he bit heavily off of the style of many electronica DJs for not only his musical style, but also how he did his shows.
This battle reaction kind of displays the problem with watching the ERB's out of sequence; the earlier ERB's show a lot of the premise and channel's growing pains, but if you watch the episodes in consecutive succession, you can see how the writing and production values evolve, improving dramatically over the course of series.
In one particular challenge, Motzart wrote a piece that required a piano have the keys at both ends and the middle at the same time. He used his nose to play the middle.
these were some of their earliest ones and they went by faster. flow wise i liked skrillex but as far as pure burns yeah mozart somewhat gave em a bit more of a nuke :P
Hey jamel I know you tend to react to the older classics but I'd love to see you react to a song called Low Beam by Her's they left us too soon. Peace my friend
Please tell me the reason you've not done Frederick Douglass vs Thomas Jefferson is because you've seen it already. It is one of the all time best battles.
The thing that makes this a little harder is that you'd have been better off watching them in chronological order. That way you could see how the lyrics, the beats, the burns and the effects have developed over the ages. When you see one of their originals like Skrillex v. Mozart and then compare it to something like Wolvering v. Freddy Krueger, you'll see the crazy difference in the evolution of ERB. :)
Mozart is the appropriate opponent because it has been many many years since someone so fresh and exciting happened to music. Where is Jamal's reaction to Make it Bun Dem!? Did I miss it?
I saw this years ago was shocked that Skrillereck was in this. Looking now I think he held on better than I first felt. I liked Mozart's point about comparing Skrill's sound to diarrhea. This one gets better when you think about it.
I feel like one of the few people who think Skrillex won this battle, and it's not even close. Skrillex had better wordplay, better and more varied disses, and built himself up better. Mozart just kept insulting dubstep.
Sorry man, but if you build a two-story house, it's still nothing to a skyscraper. And considering Mozart's music is still fairly relevant even today, I'd say he can get away with dissing just about any musical style.
I really didn't like that one even when it first came out. That was one of ERB's lesser vids. Which kinda bummed me out because I actually love both Skrillex and Mozart so I was hoping for some good bars. Just didn't get them.
You should see the one where the real Skrillex showed up. To date the only time a rapper has played themselves in ERB, and it was at RUclips Live many years ago.
Mozart wins! Skrillex’s line about no one knowing who Mozart is finished it for me. Mozart is long dead and I know who he is, while I have never heard of Skrillex. And even many of Skrillex fans will know who Mozart is.
I find this wrong on a visceral level. Comparing a genius with Mozart?? Okay, I had to go with the joke. Seriously, Mozart against anyone from pop music.. I cannot suspend disbelief that far. I am a classically trained pianist so maybe I am biased but seriously, Mozart was a prodigy. His first commission was at 7. He wrote an opera at 12. Come on now. Yeah I am passionate about classical music. Lol.
They didn’t even need to play this - Mozart vs Who the F**k is Skrillex (or however you spell it)! He said he was a “rock star”??? A DJ isn’t a Rock Star
That last line hit hard because Mozart legit created his first piece of music at age five and it's musically more complex than anything Skrillex ever created.
Can you please react to Brian Wilson presents SMiLE? I’ve been asking for a while, and the album will blow you socks off. You are truly missing out on a great one Jamal
Skrillex name is Sonny Moore, and he was the singer in From First To Last before his success as Skrillex. The man knows music, even if most people will write him off simply because one of his projects arent their taste.
no one even knows you????? mkay skrillex, with this sentence you loose..... mozart and beethoven are houshold names, all over the world. but skrillex??? not so much^^
Mozart didn’t need to open his mouth for me for him to win.

Better Man than Me.
From first to last wipes

This aged like the finest of wines. That "2 more months the world will forget about your skrill excrement" line is most prophetic.
had me in the first half, not gonna lie
Mozart won this. Being known as a genius after 200 years is far more accomplished.

Only 2 minutes.... kinda like Skrillex's popularity.
The live version of this one is good, too. The real Skrillex comes out and does it with Lloyd and Peter.
I've seen a Skrillex concert. Mozart ALL EFFING DAY...
Good one. I love that you're jumping around in the ERB catalog. It's a great random-play treat.
I give it to Mozart simply because I dug the line "what kind of drugs does it take to enjoy this"
these were some of their earliest ones and they went by faster. flow wise i liked skrillex but as far as pure burns yeah mozart somewhat gave em a bit more of a nuke :P
Doesn't mean Mozart can rap, necessarily...
There's a live version of this battle that you should check out too!
With actual Skrillex showing up to do his verse.
@@theonlynolantube And looked like he was about to cry when it was Mozart's turn.
Because he knew he was already losing.
Hey jamel I know you tend to react to the older classics but I'd love to see you react to a song called Low Beam by Her's they left us too soon. Peace my friend
Never heard of Skrillex, but I know all about the awards that Amadeus ran away with.
You should check out the live version of this one (They did at a youtube show ? i think) worth the watch, seeing how they do it live
I always felt Mozart won
I Just want You to Know I love You and Your Personality BroMan such a positive attitude We need more Positive People.
Thank you so much for all you do brother!!
try Saturday night from Herman Brood & His Wild Romance :D greatings from Holland:D
You gotta check out the live version they did of this rap battle; they even got a special guest for that one.
Dance Gavin Dance - Turn off the Lights, I’m Watching Back to the Future pt2
(Acceptance Speech 2.0 version)
Hey Jamal, are you going to the Hall and Oates concert??? Please go live when you are there ok??? Thanks✌🏻💜
Nice - good to see them still rocking!
There's a live performance version of this too. Check it out!
Please tell me the reason you've not done Frederick Douglass vs Thomas Jefferson is because you've seen it already. It is one of the all time best battles.
Eh…. I think that one is too one sided.
Idk about that, chief
More like one of all time best one sided beatdowns in rap form, lol
Okay, battle is a bit wrong, that was a bit of a beatdown...
You need to do a reaction to the live version of this one.
The thing that makes this a little harder is that you'd have been better off watching them in chronological order. That way you could see how the lyrics, the beats, the burns and the effects have developed over the ages. When you see one of their originals like Skrillex v. Mozart and then compare it to something like Wolvering v. Freddy Krueger, you'll see the crazy difference in the evolution of ERB. :)
You gotta see the live of this. A surprise in it
You should check out crash and burn from savage garden with the official music video it's very positive 👌
Giving it to Mozart for the Dead Maus reference.
You should really do Abraham Lincoln vs Chuck Norris then Do Barack Obama vs MIT Romney
You MUST check out the rap battle between Hermione and Katniss, Harry Potter vs Hunger Games
That's Princess Rap Battles. Not the same channel.
Mozart is the appropriate opponent because it has been many many years since someone so fresh and exciting happened to music. Where is Jamal's reaction to Make it Bun Dem!? Did I miss it?
Come On Home by Lambert, Hendrix&Ross
In the same line as this one is Bieber vs Beethoven. It's as lopsided and hilarious as it sounds.
I saw this years ago was shocked that Skrillereck was in this. Looking now I think he held on better than I first felt. I liked Mozart's point about comparing Skrill's sound to diarrhea. This one gets better when you think about it.
I feel like one of the few people who think Skrillex won this battle, and it's not even close.

Mozart just kept insulting dubstep.
Sorry man, but if you build a two-story house, it's still nothing to a skyscraper. And considering Mozart's music is still fairly relevant even today, I'd say he can get away with dissing just about any musical style.
Dubstep in and of itself is the reason why Mozart wins. It should be a genre that people insult.
Another fab battle!
My 63 year old dad loves your videos!!!
Mozart epic legend, and his music is still awesome,
but I have zero idea who this other person is!
Rock me Amadeus...
I really didn't like that one even when it first came out. That was one of ERB's lesser vids. Which kinda bummed me out because I actually love both Skrillex and Mozart so I was hoping for some good bars. Just didn't get them.
My dude. I love your hat! Where can I find one?
You should see the one where the real Skrillex showed up. To date the only time a rapper has played themselves in ERB, and it was at RUclips Live many years ago.
I've actually wondered what kind of drugs one needs to enjoy different things. Not Skrillex, but other things.
Mozart wins! Skrillex’s line about no one knowing who Mozart is finished it for me. Mozart is long dead and I know who he is, while I have never heard of Skrillex. And even many of Skrillex fans will know who Mozart is.
Yes, any semblance of a "battle" ended right there.
Seriously, WTF are you talking about it's F'n Mozart!
Agree, too short
You should do master chief vs leonidas
Can you make the window playing the video a little larger please? It’s awfully tiny.
That beat was lit AF. But Mozart def won that one.
He rocked harder when he was 5? Flawless victory!
Please react to Achilles come down by gang of youths.
Yeah, I thought it would be better too. Just call it a draw and call it a day.
I hope no one thinks I'm trying to fault you but the correct pronunciation of his name is Mote-zart. The "Z" has a TS sound. Just FYI.
Mozart was so far ahead Skrillex couldn't see him with a Telescope
Mozart was a prodigy pianist opera composer under the thumb of his father who died penniless whereas Skrillex is a d-jay who uses techno
It is pretty funny how many times Mozart mentions poop. He is a freaking weirdo, even as a genius who never got to live an especially life.
I find this wrong on a visceral level. Comparing a genius with Mozart?? Okay, I had to go with the joke. Seriously, Mozart against anyone from pop music.. I cannot suspend disbelief that far. I am a classically trained pianist so maybe I am biased but seriously, Mozart was a prodigy. His first commission was at 7. He wrote an opera at 12. Come on now.
Yeah I am passionate about classical music. Lol.
And never apologize for that. :P
in my opinion, skrillex won.
on another note, you should react to thor vs zeus.
They didn’t even need to play this - Mozart vs Who the F**k is Skrillex (or however you spell it)! He said he was a “rock star”??? A DJ isn’t a Rock Star
Shaka Zulu vs Julius Caesar?
Skrillex had the better flow, but Mozart wins.... BECAUSE ITS FUCKING MOZART!!! (vs a dj)
Practice: "Moe who?"
Jack Slater: "Zart!"
Mozart wins, period. I mean...like Deadpool 2 put it: "What the #### is 'Dub-step'?"
Mozart took his lunch money and the Win
The live version was much better!
Can you do sabaton?
So... who's Skrillex again?
I think that tells us who won.
Wolfy Mozart wins this one heads down for me!
Mozart, FTW!
Day:1 react to gentle giant proclamation
You reek of dead mouse… damn haha
Momomozart for tha kill!
That last line hit hard because Mozart legit created his first piece of music at age five and it's musically more complex than anything Skrillex ever created.
Can you please react to Brian Wilson presents SMiLE? I’ve been asking for a while, and the album will blow you socks off. You are truly missing out on a great one Jamal
Mozart won it, he had the history to back himself up
Mozart, hands down 😂👌🏻
Mozart!
Mozart all day
Ugh, Skrillex... 🙄 🤢
Me with today's "music" is like Mozart here... 😄
WUB WUB
Mozart
Skrillex name is Sonny Moore, and he was the singer in From First To Last before his success as Skrillex. The man knows music, even if most people will write him off simply because one of his projects arent their taste.
🤣
Mozart won.
Donald trump vs Joe Biden epic rap battles of hostory
Mozart won
They were both equally….mediocre. Mediocre is the word you were looking for lol
no one even knows you????? mkay skrillex, with this sentence you loose.....
mozart and beethoven are houshold names, all over the world.
but skrillex??? not so much^^
I know they’re blocking your videos but we need some kind of music back. These videos you’re watching are mad corny. Lol
