I just now realized that the gimmick in this fight is that Capone was a real bad guy that kept a good image, while Blackbeard tended to avoid violence but kept a *very* violent image.
How did nobody bring up that Blackbeard was shot five times and stabbed 25 times before finally dying? Dude blockaded a world financial center without a gunshot.
Al Capone may have been a bad guy, but his evil was focused purely on rival gangs and the Lawmakers. He was always for the little man and was one of the most outspoken against prohibition despite him profiting the most from it.
@@FrinniferFran...no? Al Capone was suspected to be behind the murders of over several dozen people. Not all of which were rival gangs. Being against prohibition is a very low bar to clear for being "good". If a crime organization happens to do a good thing every so often that doesn't excuse the evil acts they commit. Edward Teach (Black Beard) is not much different. He, among most famous pirates during the golden age of piracy didn't actually kill people all that often. The only reported murder from Blackbeard was when he was literally fighting for his life (and lost it). However, he did still make sailing in the Caribbean far more dangerous. And he greatly impacted the economy of port towns on the southern east coast.
@@pacmonster066 well, a Silver Tongue certainly got Al Capone far. Being perceived as a Robin Hood (even when he really isn’t) and doing good despite the Evil Acts committed, sure they were all basically publicity stunts, but can you deny the positive effect it had on people going through the Great Depression and all the lives he’s touched through his acts of Charity? I will admit that he was CERTAINLY no saint, but if people even after ALL this time, are still willing to speak of him in such high esteem these days (namely those who were affected by his charity) it speaks volumes on who is more fondly remembered. Especially NOWADAYS when we’re in such times where even THE GOVERNMENT is turning their back on those less fortunate.
Nobody notice the line about "Teaches"? I always thought it was "Teachers" as Capone did actually attack his teacher, but Blackbeard's name was Edward Teach, which makes the line even better 👏
@@zeal7895 That's not the point of the comparison. Al dente is considered the perfect way to cook pasta, and it's not easy to master: it requires measuring the timing to perfection to avoid overcooking and messing it up. Both making pasta al dente and rapping hard require superior skill in their respective fields; as such, this is a boast by Al about his top-notch rapping skills, which he is claiming to be comparable to the top-notch cooking skills required to be able to make perfect pasta al dente.

Pirate trivia: a Black flag flown by a pirate was actually a good sign. It meant if their target ship heaved to and surrendered, the pirates would only take the crew prisoner. A red flag flown meant no quarter offered.
True. And it makes sense in Assassin’s Creed 4. When you capture a ship some of the living crew surrenders and you can hire them. Edward wasn’t a bad pirate in that sense unlike Bart Roberts. He’d murder everyone
Idk abt any of that, but the black flag w a skull & crossbones was flown by all ships that had some kind of infection within its crew so they were sent to the sick bay instead of the normal port. Pirates adopted the flag since it was much easier the sneak into towns that way

Just looking through the other comments, you can see it seems people are pretty evenly split on who won. So yeah, they did a damn good job on this one.
The thing about Blackbeard is he was a bit like a rattlesnake or a poison arrow frog. Dangerous animals use fear tactics to announce their inedible nature. In short a man that wore 6 pistols, lit fuses and a sword is telling you he don't want none, but if you keep it up he'll oblige.

*wear the teacher's hat with the Italian flag on it* I know that this day would have arrived. As Italian I can tell you 100% that "pasta al dente" is a specific tecnique to cook the pasta to let it intentionally hard. This come with some clear advantages: hard pasta last longer (perfect for cold pastas or buffet/brunch situation) or when you have to pack pasta for a fast lunch (example: wifes pack pasta lunchbox for husbands). Finally, is the only correct way to do the famous Pastapie (in italian "pasticcio di pasta).
The line about burning the boat and collecting the insurance money made me sad that' I'd probably never here another line as dope as that as long as I live.
Not really a strong finish because Blackbeard was from North Carolina, not South Carolina. I'm shocked that ERB screwed that one up or maybe they did it on purpose since Capone dropped out of school and wouldn't have learned that fact.
"when I toss you overboard like a mob abomination, so prepared to learn the davy jones locker combination" yo bro that was sick though. gotta be my favorite line
Fun Fact: EpicLLOYD had said that Al Capone was one of his favorite characters he has played in Epic Rap Battles of History so far along with Skrillex, Adolf Hitler, Walter White, and Clint Eastwood being EpicLLOYD's other favorite characters he has played in ERB so far as well. Nice Peter had also mentioned that he thought Capone's first verse in this ERB video had one of the best flows in ERB history so far.
How is no one talking about the greatest line: "I mean that rat-nest beard trapped so many crumbs, this bum could get marooned and still eat lunch for a month!" That was a big yikes
Funny that Black Beard was hitting Capone with the syphilis rhymes when he had syphilis. They found a urethral syringe and mercury on his ship (these were the treatment for syphilis from the 16th to early 20th century)
Thank you! I'm not the only one that thought PotC was fantastic! :D. If anything, Depp SAVED PotC. (considering he said it was the only role he had separation anxiety with, and even travels to hospitals wearing the costume for kids!)
"I mean, that rat nest beard's trapped so many crumbs, this bum could get marooned and still eat lunch for a month!" They both went hard, but that line SOLD it.
Al Capone did bitch slap one of his teachers. Got kicked out of school for that. I did a paper with a lot of him in it for my university history class so I’ve done plenty of research on him. ERB does it’s research.
Notice he doesn't say "teachers" he says "teaches" Blackbeard's real name was Edward Teach. How damn good are ERB? They're referencing both him slapping his teacher AND him slapping Edward Teach aka Blackbeard. All in 1 line.
It also shows infamy. No-one dresses up like Al Capone because he was just a guy in a suit most kids haven't heard of. But when you here Blackbeard you instantly think of the most iconic pirate.
Honestly??🤔🤔 This should have been a trilogy. They were too evenly matched. I'll give it to Capone due to the fact his feedback was vicious. But Blackbeard killed it the second time.
This and the one from Thanos vs Oppenheimer seems to get stuck in my head every now and then. Got a fist of gold when I'm rapping Six Infinity Gems what I'm packing!
Someone needs to tell EpicLLOYD he needs to go into acting. He plays the part of his characters so well: just look at the face he has when he plays Capone. It's the kind of narcissistic, disengaged look of someone who has seen so many people die he could paint his house with their blood. It's a dangerous look, and not many people can pull it off on acting alone.
Eh, maybe. He always feels/acts the way he always does when he plays different characters. Blackbeard was one of his better ones, but he's not as good as EpicLLOYD is.
I always love coming back to this video, it reminds me of my Grandpa Antonio, he was born in the twenties and met Al Capone, I remember the story passed down from my dad about this, my grandfather at the time was around 7, and he was asked by Al Capone to run numbers for him, which if you don't know what that means, look it up, but in short, it means he wanted my grandpa to find lottery numbers, basically simple money related things that Al Capone was known to do, when my grandpa refused, Al Capone laughed and handed him a twenty(equal of $100)while saying, "You're a good kid, you better follow what your parents say." and told him to go home essentially. I have a lot more stories about my family and the ties between them and Al Capone, and I always like coming back to this to remind me how important my family is and what they've done leading up to my generation, or the 3rd Italian-American generation, after my great grandparents moved to the U.S. from Italy.
@@ichigopockychan , I don't think Capone would have hurt a seven year old boy at all nor his family if they were civilians not bothering his business. That would be bad PR and bad for his business.
They did explain how they change their pitch in editing to make every character sound different. But still I love how much work EpicLLOYD puts into these. Nice Peter aswell. The entire team puts a piece of their soul into these.
Billy Bob I think he’s just a great actor in general, tbh he’s wasting his talent on RUclips as he could probably be making twice the amount of money he’s currently earning if he took to television instead.
Anh Kiệt Nguyễn al dente is a used to describe pasta, “to the tooth” or tough. He’s also Italian so it’s funny that way too, since it’s an Italian phrase.
"Beef with me? Please! I'm the high seas Caesar!" Best line, game, set, match. You don't wanna start a beef with the King of the seas, and Caesar salad has chicken, not beef. Just in case anyone missed that.
+Luis “lrdrskillz” R al dente is an italian way of cooking rice and pasta. you cook/boil it a little shorter than usual so that it's almost done and a bit raw/hard. so Capone meant that he's hardcore or something like that. a tough nut to crack if u will
Why in the hell are people arguing about who won based on their real life actions?! This is a RAP battle! People should be judging the raps and insults not who made more money or killed more people! Get it together Internet!
The History Of Rap: Vol. 1: The Genesis In the early 1970s a musical genre was born in the crime-ridden neighborhoods of the South Bronx. Gifted teenagers with plenty of imagination but little cash began to forge a new style from spare parts. Hip-hop, as it was then known, was a product of pure streetwise ingenuity; extracting rhythms and melodies from existing records and mixing them up with searing poetry chronicling life in the 'hood, hip-hop spilled out of the ghetto. From the housing projects hip-hop poured onto the streets and subways, taking root in Bronx clubs like the Savoy Manor Ballroom, Ecstasy Garage, Club 371, The Disco Fever, and the T-Connection. From there it spread downtown to the Renaissance Ballroom, Hotel Diplomat, the Roxy, and The Fun House. It migrated to Los Angeles, where a whole West Coast hip-hop scene developed, sporting its own musical idiosyncrasies, its own wild style. Through television shows like BET's Rap City and Yo! MTV Raps and a succession of Hollywood movies, hip-hop gained millions of new fans across America, in places far removed from the genre's Bronx roots. It spread to Europe, Asia, Africa, and nearly every continent on Earth, gaining more cultural significance as the years rolled by. Today it is one of the most potent and successful musical forms of the 20th Century. Hip-hop is the voice of a generation that refused to be silenced by urban poverty, a local phenomenon fueled with so much passion and truth it could not help but reach the entire world. Like every musical genre that came before, hip-hop has its pioneers, artists who were essential in defining and popularizing the art form. This CD series showcases those legendary artists -- their songs and their enormous talents -- who created what today is known as rap. The History Of Rap. How can we truthfully tell this story? There are so many different versions. Who is correct? There were approximately ten different pioneers, each of whom stakes a claim as the originator: Pete DJ Jones, Kool DJ Herc, DJ Hollywood, Eddie Cheeba, "Love Bug" Starski, Grand Master Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Kurtis Blow, the Sugarhill Gang, Run DMC.
***** I notice there's no mention of the power outage preceding the riots (looting) just before the start of this era in music. (No disrespect, I just find it amusing no one ever brings it up.)
I fucking hate the comment section nowadays. Dislike button doesn't do anything and you can't see flagged comment's so everyone censors out the negative replies. The quality of RUclips comment's has really gone down since 2013. And they are not in a logical time order, the top comment system was way better. >:( in a nutshell WE WANT DISLIKE BUTTON AND TOP COMMENTS BACK! Can I sent youtube feedback somewhere?
You can send feedback through google or youtube, just look at the bottom of the webpage, it'll either say send feedback or there will be an options type button that will allow you to send feedback. I hope this helps.
+multipotato I completely agree with you. The comment section was probably set up so people could share snippets of ideas or say a short word on what they thought of the video, nowadays it is used for endless arguments and cyber bullying because people think they are anonymous on the other side. Many lives with great potential are wasted before RUclips. I am even contradicting my own ideas about the comment section by writing this to you.
MultiPotato55 I hope they'll actually do something about it, I personally don't mind extended comment length, but what we have currently is quite excessive and the fact you can make pictures in the comment section doesn't help matters either, not to mention no one's going to be typing a freaking novel. I also agree with what they have done to the vote down button, it was a useful and less drastic alternative to reporting a comment as abuse or spam as a way of saying you disagree or dislike what the person said. I'd also like to add that video responses are still dead in the water.
I'd even go so far as to say it went pretty clearly the other way, and for all the hype the al dente line gets, I consider it borderline suicidal. You're boasting about how tough you are, so you call yourself only the slightest bit hard? Great delivery, still self-sabotage.
The entire section from "high seas Caesar" to "50 foot tweezers" is one of my favorite lines in all of ERB, and I think Al Capone's Kenway and Cap-owned lines are kinda shit. This battle goes to Blackbeard for me
@@prawn1717 "al dente" is a nice pun too, but it's dubious, because al dente isn't actually very "hard" - it's slightly undercooked pasta : ) but weakest verses of Capone are still better than weakest verses of Blackbeard ("the Valentine's Massacre brought you condemnation" - that's not a diss, that's Wikipedia... "but I'm gonna sink you faster than your income tax evasion"... still feels like Wikipedia, not a strong diss).
@@vibovitold I agree, but in a rap battle I think it's more fun to talk about someone's strongest bars than their weakest, and in that respect Blackbeard takes it imo. "You're an obese greasy sleaze squeezin' a diseased peter that no skeezer would touch if she had 50 foot tweezers" is just too fun, and "well you're a huge dick" is not a great comeback at all
+Liv Rose the income tax evasion 16 bar undoubtedly won that for Blackbeard, Capone's flow and rhymes were elementary at best. Blackbeard brought flow and punchlines for days. It was the best ERB IMO though!!
9 лет назад+4
+Liv Rose "If you sropped the soap as little as you dropped your rhymes"
sunsetknight I think he may be considered more famous in SC since he did a lot of raiding down that part of the coast. Could be wrong about that though.
Can't help it. This is, by far, one of the best damned Epic Rap Battles of History that has ever been made. The rhymes are sweet, the beats are sick, and the two are HUGE names that actually makes some sense fighting each other.
"C'mon they chopped your head off, and they hung it from a rope. The only legend you left was your prohibition on soap. I mean, that rat nest beard's trapped so many crumbs, this bum could get marooned and still eat lunch for a month!" Well, Al Capone came in strong but won with this line. Can't believe this came out 7 years ago. I feel old. lol
That line is so cool 0:21 “beef with me please I’m the high seas Ceaser” 1. He is the Julius Ceaser of the ocean 2. You don’t want beef on a Ceaser salad 3. He is the one who “seizes” the high Seas
"I'm a busy man, Captain Crunch. I'll make this quick." One of my all time favorite ERB lines, because calling Blackbeard that to his face is a bold move.
This was one of the best battles so far. They both do so well that during their side of the battle, they make it sound like they'd win hands down, but then the tables turn 180 degrees when the other starts rapping.
To clear somethings up, Black Beard was more of a warrior in every way than Capone. More skillful with a gun, sword, ect. Now lets get to the rap battle. BlackBeard Round 1 "Ain't no parrot on my shoulder, and no rings in my ear, im an irate pirate, real swashbuckling buccaneer " +1 Powerful Start "You're an obese greasy sleaze,squeezing a diseased peter,that no skeever would touch if he had fifty foot tweezers."+1 Harsh "I'll pimp slap those face scars of yours port and starboard, you spent time in Alcatraz, im sure you were fine, if only you dropped the soap as little as you drop dope rhymes" +1 Clever Al'Capone Round 1 "I'm Ruining Pirates faster than Johnny Depp did" +1 Clever "With a scurvy ridden ship, filled with bilge rat pricks."+1 Pirate Related, Somewhat effective. "I'll use that fuse in your hat to light up you and your buddys, then burn your sailboat down and collect the insurance money." +1 Pirate Related, Effective BlackBeard Round 2 "The Valentines Massacre brought you condemnation, but i'm gonna sink you faster than your income tax evasion." +1 Very good, powerful line. "When I toss you overboard like a mob abomination, so prepare to learn the davy jones locker combination."+1 Effective "Forty cannon on the queen anne, your gang can't stop it, I'll pilfer all your rum and sell it back as a profit". +1 Effective "You're a fat thug, with an STD in his brain"+1 Very Effective Finish. Al'Capone Round 2 "The only legend you left was your prohibition of soap"+1 Effective "I'm the emcee slice like Edward Kenway"-1 In BlackFlag, Edward is allyed with BlackBeard, automatic point taken away. "Rap so hard, call me Al, Dente."+1 Good "Take your little sloop John B and go home, tell South Carolina BlackBeard got Capwned."+1 Name Reference Final Results Al'Capone 6 BlackBeard 7 This was obviously a very good, close match. But BlackBeard won, its easy not to notice BlackBeards strong history references, but are very, very clever lines. BlackBeard Wins.
***** At first, I really thought Al'Capone Easily won, but after looking at all of the strong history references and even Al'Capones life references really gave BlackBeard the win, also, Edward should have been on BlackBeards side.
You can't beat Blackbeard because he pwned Al Capone "The valentines massacre bought your condemnation, but I'm gonna sink you faster than your income tax evading, toss you overboard like a mob abomination, so prepare to learn the Davy Jones locker combination. Forty cannon on the Queen Anne your gang can't stop it, pilfer all your rim an sell it back at a profit. Cos I'm a criminal legend with a badass name, you're just a fat thug with an STD in his brain. One does not simply beat Blackbeard...
Wow, this is probably the most evenly matched of the rap battles I've seen in this series. Both of them landed some sick burns and had a great flow and look, neither really had a clear advantage overall.
Hunter Avants I’m too lazy to fact check but apparently he got some rotten milk and was so mad about it he put influence into it becoming a law. He probably didn’t single handedly make it a law but the fact he had anything to do with it al all is funny. Or could just be made up history

Strong finish.
at the end from some reason i really had a feeling to get assasins creed 4 Black flag . dont ask me why
One of the finest of all ERB finishes.
@@serarinfinity7125 greatest assasins creed game and its so underrated. its actually so fun to play
@@SharpleK Definitely a great game... They simply shouldn't have called it Assassin's Creed from my point of view
Not really a strong finish because Blackbeard was from North Carolina, not South Carolina. I'm shocked that ERB screwed that one up or maybe they did it on purpose since Capone dropped out of school and wouldn't have learned that fact.
“ This is Capone rappin, I’m cappin this captain, capiche?” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
fun fact: Capone was actually arrested on grounds of tax evasion
that angered Capone's father who punished him severely
Because it doesn’t matter how you make your money
You pay the irs
Nice reference.
Dude... uncool
xD did you come here from Oversimplified?
That angered Capones mother who punished them severely
This is the most underrated ERB of all time

EpicLLOYD did an amazing impersonation of a gangster
impression
yeah honestly you're right, that was a really good impression, not even the voice but the acting was incredible
Brian Stewart
Was black beard left handed or is peter?
Both the pistols are facing the left and the sword was in his right side?
lets not ignore peter's great pirate accent
His first verse totally sounds like Joe Pesci in his prime :D
The backgrounds my favorite part. Blackbeard's men steal Capone's alcohol (1:23)(1:29) and Capone's men order a hit on Blackbeard's men (1:35)(1:47).
Holy shit I never noticed that’s amazing
Chaoddities hate to repeat what the other replies say, but I never noticed that before either
I never made the connection that it was alcohol they stole 😭
and the hired an assassin from assassins creed to pull it off
Yeah, that particular assassin was from Black Flag, close friend to Blackbeard actually
"The only legend you left was your prohibition on soap"
😂😂😂
@@TheFlyingSailorYT lol
Best line
Lol shots fired!
At least that would help Capone drop it a lot less.
"when I toss you overboard like a mob abomination, so prepared to learn the davy jones locker combination" yo bro that was sick though. gotta be my favorite line
This battle is so under appreciated
Astro theultimate 40 mil views is definitely under appreciated
yeah alot of other ERB has 90 mil which this deserves
FirepowerWow Not a lot, there are only a few with 90mill.
Astro theultimate yeah
This one actually has a lot more views than lots of other rap battles
This is still probably one of ERB's greatest battles.
Yes. This, James Bond vs Austin Powers & Jack The Ripper vs Hannibal Lecter are the best three.
I think I should perhaps remove this from my list, and add the Gordon Ramsey vs Julia Childs, instead.
+Saul Trow (GTAVideos) Keep this one and remove the Bond one
Måns Ericsson That one's really good.
Saul Trow Not better then this one. (My opinion)
“You ain’t a tough guy, my kids dress up like you for Halloween....”
Damn
Last Mistake You'll Make one of the weakest lines in this
After many listens I call it even, this is probably their best work.
This line makes no sense in my opinion
@@SpiderManpeterxxxparker How? It's perfect to highlight how childish pirates have been reduced throughout the years.
@@Gadget-Walkmen good point lol
Fun Fact: EpicLLOYD had said that Al Capone was one of his favorite characters he has played in Epic Rap Battles of History so far along with Skrillex, Adolf Hitler, Walter White, and Clint Eastwood being EpicLLOYD's other favorite characters he has played in ERB so far as well.
Nice Peter had also mentioned that he thought Capone's first verse in this ERB video had one of the best flows in ERB history so far.
TIL EpicLloyd also played Eastwood in ERB.
He played Hitler? Jesus Christ
That last bit about Nice Peter is originally what lead me to this video.
How is no one talking about the greatest line: "I mean that rat-nest beard trapped so many crumbs, this bum could get marooned and still eat lunch for a month!" That was a big yikes
I recite that one for reason out loud constantly.
You're not gonna act like "If you dropped the soap as little as you drop dope rhymes" is also a big yikes
You right about that SuperMel18
I have no idea what happens when you get marooned so that line flew right over my head.
@@eddietuggles3679 it means if you get stranded on an island for example
"Prepare to learn the Davy Jones locker combination."
Catchy line but Al Capone still won.
Andrew Burton years after I first saw this and I still get that line stuck in my head.
The soap respectfully disagrees
the prohibition on soap and the one about the beard. finishers
Hell no, Al Capone CRUSHED him!
wrong
Till this day ill still say this is one of the best ERBs ever. love it.
Oh yea I still love listing to this one. It's real gangta rap
+JediPolock Al Capone voice 😂
tyeah this one is well thought out
Funny that Black Beard was hitting Capone with the syphilis rhymes when he had syphilis. They found a urethral syringe and mercury on his ship (these were the treatment for syphilis from the 16th to early 20th century)
Is nobody gonna talk about Capone calling Blackbeard Cap’n Crunch?
loved that one
I found that so funny
Cap'n this captain, capise.
Every time I watch this vid I laugh when I hear that
He never said that doe
“Ruining pirates faster than Johnny Depp did.”
Come on, man. He was great.
Thank you! I'm not the only one that thought PotC was fantastic! :D. If anything, Depp SAVED PotC. (considering he said it was the only role he had separation anxiety with, and even travels to hospitals wearing the costume for kids!)
I think it means Johnny Depp was so good it ruined other pirates
Sabakryou You are right
“JOHNNY DEPP WAS NOT THAT BAD!!! ...And cross Depp reference off the list...”
@@velvetsparrow Omg None piece reference
"Im a busy man Capn Crunch so imma make this quick"
Dayum that WAS quick
"I mean, that rat nest beard's trapped so many crumbs, this bum could get marooned and still eat lunch for a month!"

Am I the only one who felt that "So prepare to learn the Davy Jones locker combination" line way too hard 🔥🔥🔥
it's undoubtedly the best line
Epic
Shit was exclusivel
Exactly 🔥
Such a clever line
Al Capone did bitch slap one of his teachers. Got kicked out of school for that. I did a paper with a lot of him in it for my university history class so I’ve done plenty of research on him. ERB does it’s research.
Notice he doesn't say "teachers" he says "teaches"
Blackbeard's real name was Edward Teach.
How damn good are ERB?
They're referencing both him slapping his teacher AND him slapping Edward Teach aka Blackbeard. All in 1 line.
They sure do that’s what makes them even better
@@Tkieron arguably the hardest bar in the battle. Using a double entendre for his name and the historical reference to slapping a teacher.
@@Tkieron this comment deserve mor likes than the post
That teacher deserved it too
"you ain't a tough guy, my kids dress up as you for halloween"
game
set
match
your an obese greasy sleaze squeezing a diseased peter that no skeezer would touch if she had fifty foot tweezers......... black beard won
Well on Halloween kids dress up as things they fear, or things they think is scary so....lol
Shakeem Brown Yeah because hot dogs and Disney Princesses are soooo terrifying.
It also shows infamy. No-one dresses up like Al Capone because he was just a guy in a suit most kids haven't heard of. But when you here Blackbeard you instantly think of the most iconic pirate.
then why do some girls dress up as a princess for Halloween? lol XD
1:47
Timestamp it man!!
That was so coo
Honestly??🤔🤔 This should have been a trilogy. They were too evenly matched. I'll give it to Capone due to the fact his feedback was vicious. But Blackbeard killed it the second time.
give then at least a rematch
Edward Grindstaff precisely👍
BlAckH0le yeah I seen that one too. If I said it before, I'll say it again, this should be a rematch/trilogy.

Someone needs to tell EpicLLOYD he needs to go into acting. He plays the part of his characters so well: just look at the face he has when he plays Capone. It's the kind of narcissistic, disengaged look of someone who has seen so many people die he could paint his house with their blood. It's a dangerous look, and not many people can pull it off on acting alone.
Maybe EpicLLOYD is secretly in with the Crips.
***** Gotcha ;) Just sent you a message on Hangouts.
I totally agree! Just look at his eyes at 0:52-0:54. They just ooze arrogance hahahah. EpicLlyod is certainly talented.
Agreed
Eh, maybe. He always feels/acts the way he always does when he plays different characters. Blackbeard was one of his better ones, but he's not as good as EpicLLOYD is.
I always love coming back to this video, it reminds me of my Grandpa Antonio, he was born in the twenties and met Al Capone, I remember the story passed down from my dad about this, my grandfather at the time was around 7, and he was asked by Al Capone to run numbers for him, which if you don't know what that means, look it up, but in short, it means he wanted my grandpa to find lottery numbers, basically simple money related things that Al Capone was known to do, when my grandpa refused, Al Capone laughed and handed him a twenty(equal of $100)while saying, "You're a good kid, you better follow what your parents say." and told him to go home essentially. I have a lot more stories about my family and the ties between them and Al Capone, and I always like coming back to this to remind me how important my family is and what they've done leading up to my generation, or the 3rd Italian-American generation, after my great grandparents moved to the U.S. from Italy.
goat shit bro
Your grandpa got lucky…
DAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNN!
@@ichigopockychan , I don't think Capone would have hurt a seven year old boy at all nor his family if they were civilians not bothering his business. That would be bad PR and bad for his business.

it's epicloyd and I agree he is a great actor
nice Peter played trump too
Michael King guess you never saw Ross vs Picasso. His Spanish accent sucked
The number of voices that epiclloyd is amazing
They did explain how they change their pitch in editing to make every character sound different. But still I love how much work EpicLLOYD puts into these. Nice Peter aswell. The entire team puts a piece of their soul into these.
Blackbeard's part at 1:15-1:25 is easily one of the best collections of bars in ERB History
WE GET IT YOU'RE A PIRATE

the guy from assassins creed in the background wins
oh thx
Isn't Edward and Blackbeard friends
Or was it Conner hmmmm

what does it mean?
+Luis “lrdrskillz” R al dente is an italian way of cooking rice and pasta. you cook/boil it a little shorter than usual so that it's almost done and a bit raw/hard. so Capone meant that he's hardcore or something like that. a tough nut to crack if u will

Why in the hell are people arguing about who won based on their real life actions?! This is a RAP battle! People should be judging the raps and insults not who made more money or killed more people!
Get it together Internet!
People on these videos feel the need to give everyone a ducking history lesson to base upon who won, and not the actual lyrics themselves.
The History Of Rap: Vol. 1: The Genesis
In the early 1970s a musical genre was born in the crime-ridden neighborhoods of the South Bronx. Gifted teenagers with plenty of imagination but little cash began to forge a new style from spare parts. Hip-hop, as it was then known, was a product of pure streetwise ingenuity; extracting rhythms and melodies from existing records and mixing them up with searing poetry chronicling life in the 'hood, hip-hop spilled out of the ghetto.
From the housing projects hip-hop poured onto the streets and subways, taking root in Bronx clubs like the Savoy Manor Ballroom, Ecstasy Garage, Club 371, The Disco Fever, and the T-Connection. From there it spread downtown to the Renaissance Ballroom, Hotel Diplomat, the Roxy, and The Fun House. It migrated to Los Angeles, where a whole West Coast hip-hop scene developed, sporting its own musical idiosyncrasies, its own wild style.
Through television shows like BET's Rap City and Yo! MTV Raps and a succession of Hollywood movies, hip-hop gained millions of new fans across America, in places far removed from the genre's Bronx roots. It spread to Europe, Asia, Africa, and nearly every continent on Earth, gaining more cultural significance as the years rolled by. Today it is one of the most potent and successful musical forms of the 20th Century.
Hip-hop is the voice of a generation that refused to be silenced by urban poverty, a local phenomenon fueled with so much passion and truth it could not help but reach the entire world. Like every musical genre that came before, hip-hop has its pioneers, artists who were essential in defining and popularizing the art form. This CD series showcases those legendary artists -- their songs and their enormous talents -- who created what today is known as rap.
The History Of Rap. How can we truthfully tell this story? There are so many different versions. Who is correct? There were approximately ten different pioneers, each of whom stakes a claim as the originator: Pete DJ Jones, Kool DJ Herc, DJ Hollywood, Eddie Cheeba, "Love Bug" Starski, Grand Master Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Kurtis Blow, the Sugarhill Gang, Run DMC.
***** I notice there's no mention of the power outage preceding the riots (looting) just before the start of this era in music. (No disrespect, I just find it amusing no one ever brings it up.)
Totally agree with u
Qwixand56 You read that?
I fucking hate the comment section nowadays. Dislike button doesn't do anything and you can't see flagged comment's so everyone censors out the negative replies. The quality of RUclips comment's has really gone down since 2013. And they are not in a logical time order, the top comment system was way better. >:(
in a nutshell WE WANT DISLIKE BUTTON AND TOP COMMENTS BACK!
Can I sent youtube feedback somewhere?
Yeah true
You can send feedback through google or youtube, just look at the bottom of the webpage, it'll either say send feedback or there will be an options type button that will allow you to send feedback. I hope this helps.
+multipotato
I completely agree with you.
The comment section was probably set up so people could share snippets of ideas or say a short word on what they thought of the video, nowadays it is used for endless arguments and cyber bullying because people think they are anonymous on the other side.
Many lives with great potential are wasted before RUclips.
I am even contradicting my own ideas about the comment section by writing this to you.
Ok I sent youtube (actually google :/) feedback of these things, but in a better language. I hope they will notice it.
MultiPotato55 I hope they'll actually do something about it, I personally don't mind extended comment length, but what we have currently is quite excessive and the fact you can make pictures in the comment section doesn't help matters either, not to mention no one's going to be typing a freaking novel. I also agree with what they have done to the vote down button, it was a useful and less drastic alternative to reporting a comment as abuse or spam as a way of saying you disagree or dislike what the person said. I'd also like to add that video responses are still dead in the water.
People say that Capone won this by far but I disagree. This is by far one of the closest matches of ERB ever and it's difficult to tell who won
I'd even go so far as to say it went pretty clearly the other way, and for all the hype the al dente line gets, I consider it borderline suicidal. You're boasting about how tough you are, so you call yourself only the slightest bit hard? Great delivery, still self-sabotage.
True, people aren't realizing how good blackbeards lines really were so it's EXTREMELY CLOSE...so close I'd even call this one a tie.
The entire section from "high seas Caesar" to "50 foot tweezers" is one of my favorite lines in all of ERB, and I think Al Capone's Kenway and Cap-owned lines are kinda shit. This battle goes to Blackbeard for me
@@prawn1717 "al dente" is a nice pun too, but it's dubious, because al dente isn't actually very "hard" - it's slightly undercooked pasta : )
but weakest verses of Capone are still better than weakest verses of Blackbeard ("the Valentine's Massacre brought you condemnation" - that's not a diss, that's Wikipedia... "but I'm gonna sink you faster than your income tax evasion"... still feels like Wikipedia, not a strong diss).
@@vibovitold I agree, but in a rap battle I think it's more fun to talk about someone's strongest bars than their weakest, and in that respect Blackbeard takes it imo. "You're an obese greasy sleaze squeezin' a diseased peter that no skeezer would touch if she had 50 foot tweezers" is just too fun, and "well you're a huge dick" is not a great comeback at all
"Take your little sloop John B and go home. Tell South Carolina black beard got capwned." OK HE JUST DESTROYED HIM
+Liv Rose the income tax evasion 16 bar undoubtedly won that for Blackbeard, Capone's flow and rhymes were elementary at best. Blackbeard brought flow and punchlines for days. It was the best ERB IMO though!!
+Liv Rose "If you sropped the soap as little as you dropped your rhymes"
+Desū Gun
"C'mon the chopped your head off and they hung it from a rope the only legend you left was your prohibition on soap"
Yeah, he killed and crucified Blackbeard with that last line.
ik u irl 😂😂😂
After Blackbeard's first verse I didn't think it was possible for Capone to come back.
*I was wrong*
Hiring Edward Kenway to kill people has that effect.
I mean Al Capone should have just got the Dark Brotherhood probably cheaper
Jabwarrior 58 they are but their is no guarantee that it wil be done in time or quietly, their new recruit is..... a wild card to say the least

LexMadafaka yup
Blackbeard's introduction verse is so underrated
"Tell South Carolina Blackbeared got capawned"
(Blackbeard goes to South Carolina)
"We will never speak of this.."
RetroMagnet I live in South Carolina.....I know....and I will tell everyone else man.
RetroMagnet except his home was in North Carolina

sunsetknight I think he may be considered more famous in SC since he did a lot of raiding down that part of the coast. Could be wrong about that though.
he did raid.. but his home is (or rather was) not that far from where i live. about a mile or less in fact.

To clear somethings up, Black Beard was more of a warrior in every way than Capone. More skillful with a gun, sword, ect.
Now lets get to the rap battle.
BlackBeard Round 1
"Ain't no parrot on my shoulder, and no rings in my ear, im an irate pirate, real swashbuckling buccaneer " +1 Powerful Start
"You're an obese greasy sleaze,squeezing a diseased peter,that no skeever would touch if he had fifty foot tweezers."+1 Harsh

+1 Pirate Related, Effective
BlackBeard Round 2
"The Valentines Massacre brought you condemnation, but i'm gonna sink you faster than your income tax evasion." +1 Very good, powerful line.
"When I toss you overboard like a mob abomination, so prepare to learn the davy jones locker combination."+1 Effective
"Forty cannon on the queen anne, your gang can't stop it, I'll pilfer all your rum and sell it back as a profit". +1 Effective
"You're a fat thug, with an STD in his brain"+1 Very Effective Finish.
Al'Capone Round 2
"The only legend you left was your prohibition of soap"+1 Effective

This was obviously a very good, close match. But BlackBeard won, its easy not to notice BlackBeards strong history references, but are very, very clever lines. BlackBeard Wins.
Nice analogy
*****
At first, I really thought Al'Capone Easily won, but after looking at all of the strong history references and even Al'Capones life references really gave BlackBeard the win, also, Edward should have been on BlackBeards side.
You can't beat Blackbeard because he pwned Al Capone "The valentines massacre bought your condemnation, but I'm gonna sink you faster than your income tax evading, toss you overboard like a mob abomination, so prepare to learn the Davy Jones locker combination.
Forty cannon on the Queen Anne your gang can't stop it, pilfer all your rim an sell it back at a profit.
Cos I'm a criminal legend with a badass name, you're just a fat thug with an STD in his brain.
One does not simply beat Blackbeard...
but you forgot +1 to Capone for bringing in geography in last line ;D so i guess it become a draw ;D
Autism!?
that last verse..."Al dente" & "Blackbeard got Capwned". GODLY
Can people stop comparing the raps by achievements, compare them by how good they diss each other.
This comment should be the highest rated.
@106505657959324362529 People point out how Al capone has a 'tommy' gun. This is a rap battle, not a shootout.
***** And How Blackbeard has more expirience with weapons.
These people don't understand how rap battles work.
Hatsune Miku At your service! To be honest, that comment and what you both just said in response to one another should be the highest rated.
I completely agree, we can compare their achievements after saying who won the actual rap battle.(In our opinions of course)
I’m sad nobody is talking about the outro at 1:59.
Wow, this is probably the most evenly matched of the rap battles I've seen in this series. Both of them landed some sick burns and had a great flow and look, neither really had a clear advantage overall.
Fun fact if the day: Al Capone is the reason we have dates on milk jugs
How so?
Hunter Avants I’m too lazy to fact check but apparently he got some rotten milk and was so mad about it he put influence into it becoming a law.
He probably didn’t single handedly make it a law but the fact he had anything to do with it al all is funny.
Or could just be made up history
@@trucetruce335 Hm I see
I checked you are correct.
Ivan Kirin nice
Al Capone wins for sure. Or that Assassins Creed dude in the background
+Yuraidesu capone's guys were convincing him to slice up some pirates.
+Yuraidesu Edward Kenway for the win. :D

The "so prepare to learn the Davy Jones locker combination" bar was good
