Never thought a reactor would recognize the “DC is a whole step down” as a reference to music as well as the obvious comic book comparison to Marvel. Also this is one of my favorite ERBs
Michael Lawrence Idk about that but DC has been doing good on TV shows, Streaming Service, their comics and their Animated stuffs which they are better than Marvel.
As a supposed "feminist icon" Wonder Woman getting hit with that "You're a misguided C- on a Bechdel test joke" is an absolute SLAUGHTER. Stevie Wonder takes it, that line alone was such a huge advantage.
@@iamvaraid7652 I'm not the guy you asked but the "bechdel test" is a feminist theory regarding film and other media; a story should have more than one female character and have at least one scene where they interact but don't speak about stuff to do with a guy. Basically its a way to ensure that female character's story and development isn't totally dependant on a male character's. So the bar is referring to how Wonder Woman's first story is about her discovering the outside world with a man
Sappho was a female Greek poet who's poems we're about lesbians, as she was one. Earlier in modern history sapphites or something similar was a way to call a woman a lesbian. It's important here, because Wonder Woman was an Amazon (Greek connection), then there are is the whole lesbian theory about Amazon's and the fact that mythologically they were on the Greek Isle of Lesbos I think, don't quote me on the last one. There may be other smaller meanings and connections the that line has but I think I got the biggest ones.
One of the creators of ERB (epic Lloyd) has another series called "Diss Raps for Hire" The name says it all. Lloyd spits pure FIRE so definitely check it out.
I don't think anybody ever got so effortlessly crushed in an ERB as Stevie did Wonder Woman. She wasn't even terrible. He just rolled flawlessly with it.
Even though I’ve known it for years, the fact that Wonder Woman was created by the same man who invented the Polygraph Test never fails to surprise me whenever I think about.
Jax Wilkins 4 other people liked my comment so I believe somebody does care. Not to mention this is a comment section. No one needs to care for me to comment something. You immaturity doesn’t solve any problems.
the line where shes mentions vision questions and catches a mic is a reference to a video someone took of stevie wonder catching a falling mic stand on stage which lead people to question if he was really blind
You need to watch Eastern Philosophers vs. Western Philosophers, JRR Tolkien vs. George RR Martin, and chuck Norris vs. Abraham Lincoln. You should also go back and watch at the behind the scenes that you missed.
that youtube videos raise some vision questions line was about the time where someone bumped a mic and he straight up caught it. but he most likely heard the sound of the mic being bumped and just reached out for it.
the talent in this video they did was just mind boggling. the amazing lady they brought in you should check out her work. her nickname is superwoman and of course T-Pain. keep up the great work man love your channel.
I guess my comment before doesn't apply here. This battle was great. I do agree with you, Mr Stevie Wonder took this battle hands down. Great reaction. Thanks for that. Family First. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Im so glad you let these play out the way you did because you caught all of the haymakers with their build-ups. I will never, ever, ever, get over the line "I'm the ceremony master blaster with the bars, and I got more grammy's than your panties got stars." and then of course in that ERB fashion, [F] - Finish Her *FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF* "You couldn't walk in my shoes, so stick to your re-boots, with plots so thin even I can see through! It's not a superstition I believe you got dissed, not even your tiara's coming back from this!" like !*BRUTALIZED*!
Cathy Lee Crosby played Wonder Woman first in the tv movie of Wonder Woman. It was rebooted for a tv series with Linda Carter taken over the role. Then Super Friends and Justice League cartoons and finally the Wonder Woman in the movies recently.
I was ready for you to react to this..keep them coming! And when stevie had said that DC is a whole step down. They were throwing a jab at the fact that the DC comics (which wonder woman is a character in) is a whole step down from the Marvel universe in movie genre. But I could be mistaken cause of when you mentioned the musical notes.
Love the epic rap battles reviews. Would love to see you do the one with Steve Jobs vs. bill gates. I think you will love it. Thank you for these I work night shift and I always tune in to you tube to see what the next epic rap battle is going to be. Keep doin what you are doing.
Da capo (English: /dɑː ˈkɑːpoʊ/, also US: /də -/, Italian: [da kˈkaːpo]) is an Italian musical term that means "from the beginning" (literally, "from the head"). It is often abbreviated as D.C. The term is a directive to repeat the previous part of music, often used to save space, and thus is an easier way of saying to repeat the music from the beginning. Also, obviously the Marvel/DC rivalry.
I mean that's part of the joke, but the really awesome part of the line is the fact that he's a singer who has a song named "higher ground" and he says he comes from a higher ground but that "DC" (as in the letter in a musical scale) are a whole step from where he's at. So he's "a step" above her entire universe. He even SINGS the sliding scale down to prove that's what they were going for, the words "whole step down" are each a half note apart from D to C# to C. It's a double entendre line and thats what makes it so slick.
I'm sad that not a single person has caught the"its not a superstition I believe you got dissed" line which is referring to stevie's song "superstition". Its not a great line but I thought someone would have said something ab it.
I'd love to see a reaction to Atmosphere and one for Brother Ali. Atmosphere has some great music but it's underground and reletively slept on here on RUclips. Fantastic storytelling to his lyrics, I recommend "yesterday" "sunshine" and "the waitress" however not all have official videos. For Brother Ali "uncle Sam goddamn" "Forest whitaker" "own light" All of those songs are awesome, and there's alot more as well. If you find the time I highly recommend giving them a shot.
I've been thinking Goku versus Superman for a while, and now that I see people saying it I must insist. it's always been one of my favorites, and I know you're going to like it with all the word play they do
You should react to some Voiceplay songs! I recommend either “Grims Grinning Ghosts” or “This is Halloween.” Some of my favorites, but they have some really good mash-ups! Loved this reaction; one of the best ERBs in my opinion ❤️
Not sure if you have any XP with HP or LOTR, but check out Gandalf vs Dumbledore. It’s basically two of fiction’s most iconic wizards going head to head in a rap battle
@@SpiralSine6 I fully agree. They basically made Douglass a voice for their personal ideas of what slavery was, instead of the person he really was. They literally only reference one thing about him which was a quote that's ALWAYS taken out of context. It was insulting and inaccurate. I'm amazed that Mat4yo managed to take their original intent and make an actually awesome verse out of it.
And because im neurotic, I had to Google it. Stevie Wonder, 29 Grammy's. WW's undies, 25 stars. LOL! 🤣
guess in the rest of the comics she'll have more stars if dc noticed lol
I'm only seeing 25 Grammys when I look it up
damn. we didn't even know that when we wrote it. just sounded dope. I'm pleased.
@@EpicLLOYD Woah. It's the EpicLLOYD! Sweet. 🤩
When the creators doesn't know how many layers their own bar has
ERB: "How much head swaying do you think you can do?"
T-Pain: "Yes."
Ashley Canak LMAO 😂😂😂 this is so accurate man!
most underated comment ever i swear
We all do it. We hear better that way.
Wonder Woman: *makes blind jokes*
Stevie Wonder: *your free trial of living has expired*
Underrated comment! Love it! LMAO
Love it like Doof likes dunkleberries
Stevie Wonder definitely dominated in this battle. This is probably the one reaction I've seen that mentions the D-C musical line. Nice job.
Man they're talking about dc being a step down from marvel lol nothing to do with music notes
@@jacktovey4674 It's a play on words. D-C is literally one musical step down. Either learn how to troll, or get some music theory in your head.
@@jacktovey4674 yeah bro what does Stevie Wonder got to do with marvel lol
@@jacktovey4674 He literally transitioned from a D to a C when he said that DC was a whole step down.
Agreed, but dont you think wonder woman being part of DC has something to do with it as well?
Also, musically speaking, the note C is a whole step down from D -- a half-step would be C#. Definitely a double entendre. These guys are SLICK!
I think he got that one.
I think he was also dissing DC Comics with this too.
@@ffjsb that's what he meant by dou le entendres
Yeah, they're pretty #.
@@dominiccampbell181 he had it backwards, in the vid he was saying that D was a step down from C.
Close, but mans had it backwards
"Plots so thin, even I can see through"
That's like destroying a beehive with a fucking nuke.
@@theonefrancis696 destroying an ant with the sun
I love the flow on both sides, but Stevie was *beautifully* savage! And it's so much better when he *sings* his lines too!
Never thought a reactor would recognize the “DC is a whole step down” as a reference to music as well as the obvious comic book comparison to Marvel.
Also this is one of my favorite ERBs
christian giles If you're talking about Cinematic Universe then yeah DC is a whole step down but if the Universe as a whole not even so down.
@@internetgoat4831 I heard at&t might shut down DC comics
Michael Lawrence Idk about that but DC has been doing good on TV shows, Streaming Service, their comics and their Animated stuffs which they are better than Marvel.
@@internetgoat4831 I'm talking about the comics, not the shows and movies.
Michael Lawrence The comics.doesnt seem to be in a problem or in a place for them to shut down since they've been doing great issues and stories.
As a supposed "feminist icon" Wonder Woman getting hit with that "You're a misguided C- on a Bechdel test joke" is an absolute SLAUGHTER. Stevie Wonder takes it, that line alone was such a huge advantage.
Jc Tejada .....the fuck are you talking about?
Brandon Giles in the comic books wonder woman’s updated origins is that the amazons raid ships, fuck all the men to get impregnated, then kill them.
@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 Death by snu-snu?
He who Paints the Earth Red I guess
BeyondBlue lilly Singh who plays her is also a major feminist
“DC is a whole step down” is all of these, a music reference, a Comic book diss, AND and electric reference
And also a reference to how all 3 erb involving dc characters had the dc characters lose
I feel like I the sufferin sappho line gets overlooked a lot by most people reacting to this. Super underrated line but very good.
And the bechdel test bar
Wanna explain these cuz I cant figure them out haha
Logan Reyes can you explain that one?

"With plots so thin even I can see through" might be one of the best roasts in ERB History.
Give it up to T-Pain for capturing the essence of Stevie Wonder. I mean from the body movement to his look, to his singing.....man did a helluva job.
"It's over, it's over, it's over"
Final line comes out...
Surprised Pikachu Meme
Lol yeah that last line was the nail in the coffin.
J R R Tolkein vs George R R Martin please and thanks! Keep up the great work!
Hell yeah
Yeeees
That's my favorite, but you kinda need to know about them to enjoy it
Agreed
Yeah that one is an under the radar gem
I’m still gonna day again you gotta do goku vs Superman it’s almost Clint Eastwood levels of savage at the end
Stevie was a savage! That "with plots so thin even I can see through" line destroyed her.
Goku vs. Superman, absolutely merciless, both of them
Absolutely
Yes this is Fucking brutal.
I totally forgot about this!!
I don’t know if he’ll understand the last bar in that fight, but the comment section will be there to explain.
YES! I've been begging for this for about a week now! Needs to be done!
"You couldn't walk in my shoes. So stick to your Re-boots! With Plots so thin even i can see through!"
Hes BLIND! XD
Savage af

There’s a reason T-Pain won the Masked Singer.
Facts. Whole step up there lol

When Wonder Woman picks a fight with a blind guy and still loses.
This is why we never sent sayian women to missions..
Stolen comment
Wonder Woman should've tried to rap against Daredevil.

WOW, I never understood the "DC is a whole step down" till now, at least the second meaning you explained! Genius!
Can you please explain yo me? I am a non native speaker
The Bechdel Test line was a good jab, too.
Lil Stevie won even he coins see the victory
Do Weird Al’s Do I Creep You Out
the line where shes mentions vision questions and catches a mic is a reference to a video someone took of stevie wonder catching a falling mic stand on stage which lead people to question if he was really blind
Could just be good reflexes and sensory awareness. Blind people's other senses are boosted to compensate by their lack of vision.
You need to watch Eastern Philosophers vs. Western Philosophers, JRR Tolkien vs. George RR Martin, and chuck Norris vs. Abraham Lincoln. You should also go back and watch at the behind the scenes that you missed.
t-pain making stevie the next super villian murdering wonder woman like this.
We need lance armstrong vs Babe Ruth the most destructive second verse dwells there
Thank you! Ive been asking for this for the last month!
The second verse for babe Ruth honestly scared me
Thank you! It's about time! I TOLD you that you would love this one!
This is the first time I’ve seen someone get the DC line 👏🏼.
that youtube videos raise some vision questions line was about the time where someone bumped a mic and he straight up caught it. but he most likely heard the sound of the mic being bumped and just reached out for it.
Another good video man. I would love to see you follow this up with Superman vs Goku.
“I got more Grammies than your panties got stars” bruh
Love your reaction vids. I have watched ERB since the beginning and I am enjoying them all over again with you. Keep it up.
Rewinding After u paused is pretty nice
the talent in this video they did was just mind boggling. the amazing lady they brought in you should check out her work. her nickname is superwoman and of course T-Pain. keep up the great work man love your channel.
Me: Hello police?
What’s your emergency?
Me: Yes, I’d like to report a murder.
It’s a few years old, but with school starting soon you should watch “Don’t Stay in School” by BoyinaBand!
(Love your ERB reactions!)
I enjoy watching these with you. I went back and watched them all again lol.
your reactions make the battles so much better
Stephen hawking vs Albert Einstein
10 seconds in: *HAYMAKER*

I'm so glad I woke up to this!❤️❤️
YEAH L!!!! Thank you, my guy, for doing this request for me (and many others I'm sure in the Fam!!)
Loved this one, well I love all of your ERB reactions but this one was a lil extra fire
Why did nobody mention the genius of when he said "whole step down" the notes he sung also went a step down
I'm so glad you got the whole step line, I think you might be one of the first reactors I've seen understand that..lol
Can explain it
You're super smart. One of the only reactors who actually gets a lot of the jokes and references.
Bro! These rap battles are truly epic and you are doing an awesome job with your reactions!!! Keep doing what your doing!
Babe Ruth vs Lance Armstrong has the most savage verses
"..with plots so think even I can see through" Drop the mic Stevie! That's perfect
Yes thank you.
You did it yay thank you!!!
Doing great brutha keep it up and do ya thing
5:41 was the is the start of one of the best verses in ERB
I enjoy this a big holla from portugal ma dude
Your reactions are more entertaining than the actual videos you react to. Outstanding, keep it up XD
Ey man, you gotta react to Nikola Tesla vs Thomas Edison.
We need to move the ring straight to the cage.

It's both it's DC comics and the less obvious musical reference
That “plot so thin, even I can see though it” always get me.
T-Pain's Stevie won, but you've gotta admit that Lilly Singh (aka Superwoman. Do you know who she is?) did a pretty good job as Wonder Woman.👍

Stevie Wonder was the best sounding, and most savage representation they had in any of their rap battles.
yeaaah finally! after so much spamming. Thankyou!!
The "your RUclips videos raise some vision questions" refers to parts where it seems Stevie wonder isn't actually blind.
I just came across your reaction videos Matthew your content is lit keep up the videos 💯
DC comics is a step down from Marvel Is what he was referring too, but still funny as hell

George Washington vs Willam Wallace it won't disappoint 😀
SmokyBear 420 one of the most viscous battles to be sure
You should check out Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates if you enjoy clever wording like that "DC is a whole step down" line
The vision questions line refers to him catching a falling mic stand
You seriously gotta watch George Washington vs William Wallace my dude. Just do it!
I'm a musician and didn't catch the DC line. Good job. You should judge actual rap battles. You have the ear for it, straight up.
I've been thinking Goku versus Superman for a while, and now that I see people saying it I must insist. it's always been one of my favorites, and I know you're going to like it with all the word play they do
everyone to ever watch ERB says the "Epic Rap Battles of history'
You should react to some Voiceplay songs! I recommend either “Grims Grinning Ghosts” or “This is Halloween.” Some of my favorites, but they have some really good mash-ups! Loved this reaction; one of the best ERBs in my opinion ❤️
I just absolutely love how Wonder Woman keeps pulling out the blind jokes but Stevie cleverly counters that shit HARD. I fucking love it.

Goerge Washington vs William Wallace
Jrr Tolkien Vs RR martin
John Lennon vs Bill O'riley
Your reactions crack me up.

Dam he killed it. And i love the behind-the-scenes too.
Great job spoiling it before i even clicked xDDD
