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 .
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.
@@AR-bj5et Thanos vs Oppenheimer was one of the best IMO (excluding Thanos second verse, that was so bad hahah) Just all the references to bot Marvel and the life of Oppenheimer and chemistry are amazing
@@skiddy529 it does , but you can't tell me it goes harder than lenin and gorbachev's songs. Stalin and rasputin's songs are also bangers , but putin I don't like.

Fun fact: Steve Jobs is the only ERB character to not get introduced. This is because the video came out like 2 weeks after his death so everyone know who he was
The newer ones have way more complex bars, a good example is their dead serius bar from potter vs skywalker, that one flies over a lot of people's heads.
@UCejp0KpClUd9noTHkMXh4-Q but his opinion is not considering these raps in their full complexity. It's a faux claim of credibility. If you're not knowledgeable on a given topic you should shut the fuck up
@@valerieblackwell5765 again while I heavily disagree with his opinion I have to say why yours is wrong. We are in the market place of ideas everyone is allowed to give their ideas in this marker place, so then while you might disagree and say he doesn't know anything about the topic, but this is the market place of ideas, knowing about something doesn't mean anything.

Had to pause after he rated Stalin V Rasputin at C, that video is a masterpiece of references and wordplay, and I remember it came out when I was a student learning about history (WW1/WW2/Cold War stuff) Would watch it over and over again because it was one of the best ERB had ever done
Rasputin vs Stalin is their peak, their video still to beat. It’s got so many historical references and is the best example of what this channel should be-history rap battles. Plus the flow and music itself is great but hey, each to their own, at least everyone can agree ERB are RUclips classics and are amazing. Also Stan Lee vs Jim Henson is a must see banger.
I'm seeing you everywhere patterrz, stop following me bro Fr tho love the content man kinda crazy seeing you pop up in the comments of so many yputubers I watch
Imagine hating on Jobs vs Gates. It's so wholesome when he's says "the whole world loved but you were my friend" and Master Chief vs Leonidas. These are legit some of the best ones.
The director‘s one to me is one of the best, the set-up between Spielberg, Hitchcock, Tarantino, Kubrick and their body of work & state of cinema is so well done while also referencing different eras and styles of rap music, with Michael Bay‘s finale being the brilliant icing on the cake.
Everyone talking about the history references but I can't get over the "I'm about to bake raps from scratch like I'm Carl Sagan" line. A reference to the original "Cosmos" series, where Carl Sagan famously says "If you want to bake a pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe", and Stephen Hawking's PhD Thesis(and subsequent work) was a lot to do with early universe cosmology
Dude I didn't realize they had such big names in these. Key and Peele, snoop dogg, fucking smosh (this was back when they were the biggest channel on yt) That's actually really impressive.
I honestly think that their new battle are way better than their old ones. The level of references and bars are higher. The production quality is also higher.
@@howiedahaole7743 that’s so not true, they have a team of writers and patreon supporters who can submit lines, early ERBs has some very silly unrelated bars compared to the genius that is “You’re an ump Che, that’s Bay of Pigs latin.”
bro all of the vids in the tier list were seasons 1-3, if he saw shit like easter vs wester philosophers or pennywise vs the joker then he wouldn't think that
L tierlist tbh. The older ones had their flair and it was easier to get the bars and the disses, but as it went on, they started putting in more references in their bars and it just makes it so much better. But after Rasputin’s battle, it just watched it go downhill on the video.
Poe vs King should be higher than C tier man. It's up there with Jack the Ripper vs Hannibal Lecter. Poe even rapped in his style for the first verse, and they started and ended the rap like The Raven, a famous work of Poe.
Artists vs. Turtles is absolutely one of the best they've ever done. The rapping, the beat, and the historical references are all so, so good. From an art major =P
it's honestly pretty disappointing. too few art and historical references. east vs west philosophers is without a doubt the best one, artists vs turtles doesn't hold a candle to it
Maybe in terms of historical references but the vs lacks punching and that's number 1 in a rap battle, they need to diss each other way more and harder.
Frankly, I was super hyped when I got notified for this vid, cause I love watching both Lud and ERB, but rn I am literally losing my mind. You filtered the battles by view count (when it doesnt judge them based on quality AT ALL), watched mostly mid tier battles on stream, and ranked battles from like 9 years ago as the cream of the crop when they have SO much more underrated battles that actually have some top tier writing and production quality
Like, I get it if the only value you get out of erb is whether or not it's entertaining/makes you laugh, but there's so much effort that goes into it with good writing, sound design and whatnot. Yeah sure it's corny but what did u expect when it's called 'Epic Rap Battles of History'
I still fucking love ERB. rewatched basically all of them recently and there are barely any that I think are bad. even the newer ones absolutely bang imo
@@magnus9839 dude its not stealing when its such a clear cut reference to the video its on, not really a surprise more than 1 person had the idea to comment it
I heavily disagree tbh, Thanos' first verse was fire, and his second was alright. The issue is that Oppenheimer's were both godly, and he didn't have an incredibly bad costume. I'd say it's more of a decisive loss for Thanos, there are way more one sided battles.
"My boy in Israel" was a reference to a skit from few years back about a stormtrooper literally being in Israel... Can't remember the details and I couldn't find the videos. But I'm surprised nobody mentioned that. You should look it up. From what I can remember, it was hilarious.

Same man like what is this all bangers, and people are like f tier or something, like huh, i missed the meeting when everyone decided to say erb = cringe wtf
I remember watching these back in high school, but when the Albert Einstein vs Steven hawking came on out of the depths of my brain came every lyric, 10 years later I somehow knew the entire song by heart. Could not agree more with your "nostalgia blast" comment.
The Vader Hitler battles are so legendary. I remember random people at high school just screaming "I AM ADOLPH HITLER, COMMANDER OF THE THIRD REICH! LITTLE KNOWN FACT, ALSO DOPE ON THE MIC!" all the time.
Not to mention saying he supported it lmao 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.
Mozart goes hard, vividly remembered einstein and stephen hawking. Nice seeing some of the ones i haven’t seen honestly a hilarious series couple months ago me and my friend online actually remembered ERB but didn’t rewatch any.
id say if you want a very good representation of each season i would suggest seuss vs shakespeare mozart vs skrillex muhammad ali vs michael jordan east philosophers vs west philosophers ivan the terrible vs alexander the great pennywise vs joker
Usually, you might want to make a tierlist when you're a total amateur or good at your subject. Doing one when you're average is a bit complicated, honestly, you're just getting caught in the crossfire. I had to step back quite a few times with the choices that were made, and I'm pretty tolerant.
Master Chief vs Leonidas was still in my head, line by line, after all those years. Imagine I could use that memory for something useful.. So what in the cinnamon toast fuck is that piece of art doing in F tier??????
....what do you mean, "Was"? Lol. Since I discovered them in 2012-ish, I never stopped watching. They take breaks to make sure that you're not burnt out
These rap battles hold up even better now than when I was younger, there’s so many jokes I pick up even now that went over my head as a kid. Fucking loved these
So annoyed the Hal9000 bars got skipped and that Lud said everything was worse after the Microsoft bar. "I'm on your lap and in your pocket. How you gonna shoot me down when I guide the rocket" is like the coldest bars in any ERB ever
This was just a ploy for epic rap battle to finally do Luds suggestion. He knew that comment was there and he’s been thinking about it for the last 10 years

The Trump Vs Hillary one was such a huge deal when I was in 8th grade? Everyone was going nuts about his line about his ass pressed against the glass ceiling
As someone who still loves ERB I feel attacked.....and you are correct. Season 1 review!
Same man like what is this all bangers, and people are like f tier or something, like huh, i missed the meeting when everyone decided to say erb = cringe wtf
@@urosmirkovic8353 the logic isn’t complicated. It goes “I liked erb when is was younger and younger me = cringe therefore erb = cringe
@@BarginsGalore ay I'll fight anyone on this erb still slaps
Tbh Luds taste here sucks. The later ERBs are just objectively better battlerap and production quality ;)
@@smokeychickenwings1038 thank you!
The fact that he left all the rhett and link parts out really hurts me.
I remember watching these back in high school, but when the Albert Einstein vs Steven hawking came on out of the depths of my brain came every lyric, 10 years later I somehow knew the entire song by heart. Could not agree more with your "nostalgia blast" comment.
And you remembered even the amounts of words "million"???
That 10 million verse is still, to this day the hardest line I have ever heard in an ERB
if anyone wants it, the song playing at 00:01 is Submission Plaza Theme from the Check Mii out Channel OST
Erb still slaps and it slaps even harder when you get the references, thank god for their comment sections as well.
Reminds me of Drew Gooden I see the yoink and the twist are both doing well
I was thinking the exact same thing
holy shit the spam bots
@@nbshftr they're everywhere man we've lost
The Vader Hitler battles are so legendary. I remember random people at high school just screaming "I AM ADOLPH HITLER, COMMANDER OF THE THIRD REICH! LITTLE KNOWN FACT, ALSO DOPE ON THE MIC!" all the time.
I PUT THE GERM IN GERMANY. I'M SICK ON THIS MIC
Are we just gonna not talk about Ludwig's grandparents being cousins?
Right ? I mean great grandparents ok maybe. Diffrent times. But grandparents?
Not to mention saying he supported it lmao
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.
I am 100% sure he was joking, yall are taking what he said too seriously.
He’s talked about this before
@The he’s actually inbred lol
3:57 was crazy, nice job steve
Was hoping he'd watch Teddy Roosevelt vs. Winston Churchill. Probably their best one besides the TMNT one
Mozart goes hard, vividly remembered einstein and stephen hawking. Nice seeing some of the ones i haven’t seen honestly a hilarious series couple months ago me and my friend online actually remembered ERB but didn’t rewatch any.
"you can't get down a ramp"
That didn't age very well.
Wait how?
@@Lndo-sh1xl cause he old
He fell up some stairs earlier this year
@@venividi8523 I forgot about that lol
id say if you want a very good representation of each season i would suggest
seuss vs shakespeare
mozart vs skrillex
muhammad ali vs michael jordan
east philosophers vs west philosophers
ivan the terrible vs alexander the great
pennywise vs joker
DUDE ITS YOU??????????
@@UnisRapper hello
What would you say would represent season 7 so far?
These kind of erbs you have to watch multiple times to understand the jokes
Ok I hate the fact he put the Stalin one so low it had so many good disses for anyone that knew them
Anthony Padilla actually delivered his lines pretty dope in the Painters vs Turtles one.
ERB should do Rebecca Black vs Rick Astley. That would be pretty cool
Usually, you might want to make a tierlist when you're a total amateur or good at your subject. Doing one when you're average is a bit complicated, honestly, you're just getting caught in the crossfire. I had to step back quite a few times with the choices that were made, and I'm pretty tolerant.
I was shocked he ranked some at S and A.
The micheal Jackson vs Elvis Presley rating is making me lose my shit rn
He fucked up the tierlist so bad
I used that hawking verse in school in like 5th grade and got an A on that project, pog
THis is literally the only Ludwig video I've seen in full and all I know about him: Having absolute shit taste in ERBs
ERB was the reason I made a RUclips account. I had to lie about my age so I could watch Darth Vader vs. Hitler 3 since it was age-restricted.
Master Chief vs Leonidas was still in my head, line by line, after all those years.
Imagine I could use that memory for something useful..
So what in the cinnamon toast fuck is that piece of art doing in F tier??????
This has to be the single most fucked teirlist about anything i’ve ever seen
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING
I KNOW RIGHT?! SERIOUSLY, LUDWIG, HOW DID YOU FUCK IT UP SO BAD-
Honestly the Director Rap has a special place in my heart. That one was fire
....what do you mean, "Was"? Lol. Since I discovered them in 2012-ish, I never stopped watching. They take breaks to make sure that you're not burnt out
These rap battles hold up even better now than when I was younger, there’s so many jokes I pick up even now that went over my head as a kid. Fucking loved these
Btw, props on the editing. I was worried that the video was gonna be bad because the raps would be very edited, but the editor did a great job, 10/10.
Man i remember going to school like "GUYS GUYS YOU SEE THE NEW ERB YET?!?!" lmao the good ole days.
bro rewatching these im getting so many more of the jokes and punchlines they had in these battles
Ludwig NEEDS to open up the lyrics on genius, we need a rewatch😭😭
So annoyed the Hal9000 bars got skipped and that Lud said everything was worse after the Microsoft bar.
"I'm on your lap and in your pocket. How you gonna shoot me down when I guide the rocket" is like the coldest bars in any ERB ever
ERB got better over time. Rhymes got more factual, beats got less obnoxious, the new ones are actually really good.
I love that Lud has been using the same account for at least 10 years.
Rasputin vs Stalin is S tier dude, wtf?
ikr, and jobs vs gates is easily up there
It's by far the best one.
This was just a ploy for epic rap battle to finally do Luds suggestion. He knew that comment was there and he’s been thinking about it for the last 10 years
Asking someone who clearly just floated by in school to rate historical rap battles is a GREAT recipe 🥶
