    The thing with ERB is - your enjoyment depends on your own general knowledge and background . Almost always whenever i went to any of it's comment section i would see dozens of them pointing such subtle remarks and points that i completely overlooked because i didn't knew enough about the subject and made it appreciate even more .

    • @AR-bj5et
      @AR-bj5et 3 года назад +815

      I feel like that's especially true for the newer ERBs, earlier seasons had way shorter verses with more surface level bars and punchlines but man there's so many hidden gems in the newer releases. It took me a while to appreciate Joker vs Pennywise but jeez there's a lot in that one.

      I hope he was just joking. Cause if not that's really ignorant. It's illegal for a reason, because the children end up victims with 3 eyes.

    Tesla vs Edison has always been my favourite simply because of how informational, accurate, and referencing it is. Because they really were rivals and everything they said was true; Not to mention Tesla is one of my favourite inventors of all time and my hatred of Thomas Edison kindof fueled that. I'd always thought they should do Lovelace vs Turing but maybe another time :)

    The issue here (as with any other reaction) is that ERB spends a LOT of time on its lyrics. Your appreciation for the video will be significantly impacted by how informed you are about the two rappers.
