That was terrible with the exception of like 2 lines. Seemed really weird and off.

I don't really like raps like this idea where the subjects are too similar. Like when people requested Gandalf vs Dumbledore and it was just stupid and boring
Too current, they just did DT v HC.
We are overdue for a classical musician vs modern musician battle this season though.

Ouch that Ash vs. Darwin was horrendous
I'd see Tony Stark vs Elon Musk; or House Windsor vs House Lannister.
I do want to get a Justice League vs Avengers; but I want them to do the individual heroes first.

I didn't even know there were new videos. I liked the Hillary vs. Trump one. She didn't win the election, but she won that rap battle. I'd say it's the best female performance in the series yet.
Lincoln, as always, is fun. EAGLE!
The Ash vs. Darwin one was the type I knew would be bad going into.

The effects on the intro were pretty nice, though.

"My worst song is better then your best TV show" heh. Pretty solid battle!
Dude not every matchup is going to be thematic perfection, they had Genghis Khan vs. the Easter Bunny for christ's sake

OK, I honestly like both sides, especially strive wonder, but the basic concept for the battle prevented it from being great
If they could've had Stevie Wonder and wonder woman on two separate battles, it would have been great
EDIT: Actually Stevie Wonder was really damn good, but the concept really drags the whole thing down

Well Wonder Woman was blind once
Should have made Stevie Wonder versus Shiryu from Saint Seiya then .... dude became blind like 4 times in the anime
Stevie Wonder vs Daredevil seems the obvious pick or am I just crazy?
I hate to nipick but Wonder Woman did die and become the Goddess of truth
You're overthinking it. No one cares about the minutiae of a character who's been around for seventy years and is best known for a campy TV show.
The common element is wonder. It works for the purposes of this amusing battle rap.
Hey, Julia Child vs Gordon Ramsay was pretty dope.

Idk why that one doesn't get more love. It's my favorite one of the season by far
Yeah short and you can barely hear the rappers. Especially Ash.
Same here. Mamrie and Lloyd both absolutely killed it. Their impressions were absolutely spot-on. Flawless.
Martin versus Tolkien was great too.

It was fucking ama,ing, and I keep replaying that opening bit from "that's how" to "grateful". The music, lyrics, gestures, set pieces, everything flows do well there
It fits the mold with the algorithm change; ERB's videos are short, so the new algorithm will give them less exposure. But the fact that ERB has been around for a while now has to have an effect too, they are not a hot new thing anymore.

Wasn't there a huge bug where posting new videos somehow unsubscribed people?
I can imagine it hurting alot of bigger channels, especially one like ERB which goes on breaks
Youtube unsubscribes people who haven't watched a video from a channel in a while automatically. And because of the new algorithm were shorter videos get less exposure than longer video, less people watching a new video tells Youtube to unsubscribe those users.
