Poe was actually never addicted to alcohol. He was actually allergic to it. A person who Poe wrote a bad review about was the person who came up with that. They didn’t it to make him look bad after his death.
Poe married his cousin in order for her to recieve medical treatments through his military benefits if i recall. I did a paper on him back in middle school and i believe thats what the stated reasoning was.
Her family had also already become stricken by poverty. This was to help her with medical treatment AND to stop her from ending up homeless. This is why he calls King out on never living through misery, poverty, or family woes. King has lived a privileged life, he was well off even before he started writing, yet he writes about other people going through hard lives. Poe's poems and writings come from a place of authenticity, which is what made them so powerful. He's calling King a fraud, basically.
His aunt asked him to marry her daughter because she wanted her to have a comfortable life with a man that adored her and treated her well. His cousin was always sickly and he didn’t want her to be abused by a man who just wanted a bunch of kids. Poe was terrified that his cousin would die in childbirth because she was so weak. Some historians believe they never even consummated their marriage.
@@ericmanget4280 You have to understand the kind of world Poe grew up in. Women were property back then. Men wanted sons for many reasons and during times of hardships, families would kill or abandon the elderly and sell off/abandon their daughters to either make money or save resources. His cousin was sick, and a female. They probably couldn't sell her because she was sick. They most likely couldn't afford her medical treatments, so she was simply a drain on resources. In short, they would've either abandoned her or had her killed. In today's society there are resources for people like that, places to go. Back then? Not a chance.
Keith Davis also marrying your cousin wasn’t as much of a faux pa back then. The age thing I don’t think was and issue in that time period either. Different times, different values I suppose.
Poe MARRIED his 13-year-old cousin Virginia -- remember, this was the 1830s, and it wasn't seen in quite as bad a light as it is today. They were very happy together, living with Virginia's mother (and Poe's aunt). They never had kids and their relationship was probably more brother-sister than husband/wife. Virginia fell ill with TB though and died at 24. Poe was absolutely devastated, and basically went off the rails (he had lost both is bio mother and his adoptive mother to the same disease, poor guy). He wrote a poem about his grief over Virginia's death called "Anabel Lee"... I'm not a huge poetry fan, but it's so beautiful and poignant and worth reading.
Poes first verse was good but the second one was eh. It's just fast rapping. Otherwise King had two good verses. Both of his were pretty good and he had that flow.
You know the hilarious thing? Stephen King also battled addictions to alcohol and cocaine for a long time. But personal opinion? Poe took this one. You don't step to the God of Horror and not get slapped like a damn sorcerer's apprentice. And as for "perving" on his cousin, it was a common practice to wed first cousins and to wed young during Poe's time, which was the 1880's - the 1900's. Women married as young as 12 years old and bore their first children at 13.
I doubt the real Stephen King would go after Poe for drinking and opiates; King has had his bouts with both alcohol and drugs, and has been very open about it.
nobody catches the line though. he said he would choke king with a trochee... while writing the entire verse in trochaic octameter... which is the meter poe wrote the raven in... his knowledge of the subject is absolutely absurd.
Oh yeah? Where's the line that references Dolores Claiborne? Gerald's Game? Dreamcatcher? Needful Things? Insomnia? Most definitely not all. Small handful at best.
It's not fair to say that Poe "lost because he messed with little girls.". That's Presentism, a cultural bias. When Poe and Clemm were married, marriage between first cousins was legal in all 50 states. Furthermore, in all of their letters, nothing sexual was ever hinted at, and they never had children. He was even encouraged by her to pursue relationships with other women. Obviously I'm not advocating for such a practice nowadays, only saying you should look at things through the culture they were shaped in, and not the one you know.
except.. we are not beholden to forgive our ancestors for the crimes against humanity they commited. they are to be held responsible for it forever and it lessens all the value in their lifes works. normal back then? so what? yourte telling me NOONE ever asked themselves " oh.. why do we keep getting monstrus looking children when fucking our cousins?" lol :)
Jeszebel black All hes saying is theres more context to it. Judging who wins the battle based off something that isnt even fully explained is just dumb
@@ndaemon1718 My god, dude. You're trying way too hard to sound smart. Poe didn't commit any "crimes against humanity", so get that loaded-words fallacy out of my face. You're imposing today's social climate onto Poe's time. Again, cultural bias, which is incorrect. Historians (as well as informed people) still hold Poe (and his works) in high regard because they know to avoid cultural bias. Also, that's irrelevant. Poe never fucked his cousin, so I don't understand why you'd bring it up. I already said I would not support or indulge in cousin-marriage, so I don't know why you assume such a thing.
First cousin marriage is STILL legal in many states. And yeah, I don't think they had a normal husband-wife type of marriage. 13, though, was considered very young to marry even back then...
Bruh, you also have to realize ERB haddd to give Stephen king way more time than Poe in this battle inorder for it to even seem balanced. It's unfair how talented Watsky is.. ERB also gave him way less time while he was Shakespeare.. Poe: 37 secs King: 55 secs
Go watch any of the following and then come back and tell me that ERB cares about making it look balanced: Isaac Newton vs Bill Nye Skrillex vs Mozart Count Dracula vs Vlad the Impaler Justin Bieber vs Ludwig von Beethoven Lewis and Clark vs Bill and Ted Edit- other one sided ERBs Freddy Krueger vs Wolverine Joan of Arc vs Miley Cyrus Cleopatra vs Marylin Monroe
He wrote the first verse in a trochee (the style used in The Raven). He wrote Shakespeare's first verse in Iambic Pentameter much like most of Shakespeare's works.
Just want to say, since you like Edgar's flows in this, the artist playing Edgar is named Watsky. You should check out some of his solo work. I'd recommend Woah Woah Woah , which has a guest shot from Jim Belushi in the beginning of the video. He's James Belushi's brother (the guy from The Blues Bothers and Animal House if you've seen either of them). Jim Belushi has been in many movies and television shows himself over the years. Another good one to get a idea of Watsky's creativity and skill is his Remix to Dre's - Difference is the Differences. Keep up the reacts, and I totally get the reacting in order. It makes total sense. There are a couple of other shorter series rap type shows you could react to. One is Princess Rap Battles and another from Epic Lloyd of ERB is Dis Raps for Hire.
People always make a big deal about x person from the past having sexual relations with family members like it wasn't a very common thing back then. Also, Poe's cousin was not related by blood, he was adopted as a young child.
watsky is absurd. i'm a watsky fan, i proudly admit that. sooooo many people don't catch that first bar. he said he'd choke king with a trochee, WHILE WRITING THE ENTIRE THING IN TROCHAIC OCTAMETER, WHICH IS WHAT POE WROTE THE RAVEN IN! king had some great jabs, but watsky's knowledge of his craft is unparalleled.
@@weeknightwarrior Interestingly enough, cousin marriage is totally illegal in Alabama and the rest of the south because the South REALLY latched on to the "cousin marriage will 100% lead to flippers and missing eyeballs" thing, but it's totally legal in places like New York and New Jersey. In fact, people will visit New Jersey just to marry their cousins.
No one catches every reference on the first shot. I've seen them all, many times over and still picking up stuff. It's one the things that drew me to reaction videos of ERB, seeing people catch stuff I might have missed. Example, Hugs and Sam caught a reference I didn't put together on a PRincess Rap Battle. When Anna says something to the effect of, 'Anna wrecks ya' They put it as "Anorexia."
Honestly, the line about him perving on his cousin wasn't strong at all. Bare in mind that for us it was disturbing, back then it was pretty normal though.
Plus, from what I understand, he married her specifically to protect her from other men, since she didn't want to be married off. So he wasn't really perving on her.
@@ericmanget4280 Actually context means everything. If you have someone watching these without knowing anything, then you would get someone that just determines the winner by familiarity rather than the blows. A good example of this would be if someone said that Zeus won in the Zeus vs Thor rap battle simply because they don't know the context between Thors lines.
1) 13 years old - isnt little girl already. In some countries like Japan its already legal age for some shenanigans. 2) ehm so what,why speak about babies, "perving" - doesnt mean making babies. So,whats wrong? But anyway, Stephen won imho, too good bars
Hey dude love the videos if you want another great fire in the booth to listen to you should check out lowkey's. Craziest word play ever. Also friends with Akala
2:21 Well, technically alcohol and drugs can solve your problems in a certain way. Both alcohol and drugs are able to lead to death, and death will take away problems in your life. Don't quote me on that. Edit: I'm not saying that it's good to resort to alcohol and drugs though.
Most of that Alcoholic shit about Poe was made up by the man who wrote his obituary. Dude named Griswold. They hated eachother, so when Poe died, he wrote the obituary under a false name, claiming he was a drunk and later he wrote a defamatory biography. Another man named Snodgrass, who wanted to push his alcohol temperence reform jumped on the recently dead Poe as a case for prohibition. King, when it came to drugs and alcohol was probably far worse than Poe. One of the theories of how he died was a weird method of assassination called Cooping. Basically it would mean that they killed him by forcing him to drink alcohol and vote in different locations for the same candidate until he died of poisoning.
I'm gonna be real... The line "Perving on your first cousin blah blah blah". Honestly wouldn't win that for him, because back in Poe's day which was long as actual fuck ago that shit was normal as hell.
The cousin thing is a bit strange and very iffy, he was very close to his housing and she was really sick, and coming to an age where she would be married off soon, probably to a man who wouldn't be able to take care of her, and once she would be married off Poe wouldn't be able to take care of her so he married her so he can protect her, or so the story goes, there is no way of saying it wasn't for more malicious reasons
Poe was not an alcoholic or drug abuser. Yes, there was some - not much - drug in his system (I forgot which one), but it was in EVERYTH8NG those days- makeup. wallpaper paste, people even took it for medicinal reasons... dang it, I wish I could remember the name of the drug. After Poe’s wife/cousin died very young, he was depressed and melancholy. The rumors were put out by a rival aft his death, because he hate Poe. And they persist to this day..... OPIUM! That’s it!
The cultures and laws are different. It is illegal today to have sex with a 13 year old. In Poe's days, there were no such laws and cousins did married each other a lot.
See I have an issue with people bringing up that people from old about age of lovers since back then the lifespan was lower and a lot of people used to be together with younger women then we do now obviously. Though yeah Steven King definitely wins even without that line.
I love this battle but poe could have hit harder. I love King but there is so much things against him. Poe got problems with alcohol yes but king went on rehab and admitted that he didn't even remember writing some of his books because he was on drug. Also i was expecting a diss about this controversial scene in the IT book that i don't even want to remember(that scene if you know is really controversial and awkward and he must have been really on drug to write this ). For poe marrying his cousin, i don't remember the whole story but some some historians said it was for helping her, i think she was an orphan or something. Their mariage was platonic and he never had sex with her.
Honestly take a day to do research my guy because what you be doing is not in depth. You got to look up they live story and you can see if there will be more than one person by looking at the description.
This is my favorite one by far. Watsky and Zach sherwin are crazy talented
Zach sherwin is such a odd name to me. Sounds so similar to mine... xd
Poe was actually never addicted to alcohol. He was actually allergic to it. A person who Poe wrote a bad review about was the person who came up with that. They didn’t it to make him look bad after his death.
I believe there's a theory that he actually died from rabies.
Chemical Blue allergic?

The winning line for me was" You're a faux Bram Stoker, so scram the show's over, your flow's so-so, Poe's poems pwn posers".
Poes poems pwn posers was ill af
Very good line, and technical but king's "fame money talent success you'll always have less nevermore" took it for me
Poes first verse was good but the second one was eh. It's just fast rapping. Otherwise King had two good verses. Both of his were pretty good and he had that flow.
The real-life Stephen King actually wrote a Tweet saying that Edgar Allan Poe "shut me down in the rap contest."

Poe didn't win shit. I know you have a hard on for the guy but objectively speaking it was obvious who the winner was given the time disparity.
@Robertson Thirdly eat poopies
I doubt the real Stephen King would go after Poe for drinking and opiates; King has had his bouts with both alcohol and drugs, and has been very open about it.
Creative people usually struggle with substance abuse, either as a crux for creativity or to cope with mental problems.
And he said that but I think king won
King was open about his drug use. He even stated he wrote a lot of books while high.
I think Edgar wins epically his first verse.
i feel the same way i loved poe’s first verse i wanted him to win so bad but i gotta give it to king he had too many good lines
nobody catches the line though. he said he would choke king with a trochee... while writing the entire verse in trochaic octameter... which is the meter poe wrote the raven in... his knowledge of the subject is absolutely absurd.
If you know King as an author, you can catch that puts all of his book titles into his verses, which I think is dope af.

I LOVE how Watsky wrote this and Shakespeare in their writing styles
The reason Poe’s flow was so smooth was because Watsky wrote it in iambic pentameter
He wrote the first verse in a trochee (the style used in The Raven). He wrote Shakespeare's first verse in Iambic Pentameter much like most of Shakespeare's works.
Most of King's first verse was his book titles, not just Shawshank and Green Mile.

That look on Rich's face when Poe drops that flow. Lookin" like someone farted in his closet! =)
King wins at first glance, but a lot of his lines are pretty hollow.
Poe flowed but his approach to the thing was to say King was successful and that's a shitty way to win a rap battle
i love your videos! i never miss a video. keep it going man!

Poe: Seriously?
that 'I'm over being drunk' feeling happened the first time I got drunk and I haven't been more than buzzed since...... just wasn't fun
I like the Rich reacts or Rich Reactions

That was a great battle, my god
The person that plays Edgar Allan Poe is Watsy. Search up his songs he has crazy flow!
