Good but not as good as the other ones. Bonaparte's last line got me though.
Yeah, I'm still sticking to Einstein VS Hawking for my favorite.

Oh and "your buddy Pedro will be voting for ME!" LOL
 
Well it was better than the Easter Bunny shitfest, but only just. Napoleon Vs. Genghis Kahn would have solved all this. They should stop wasting good characters on shite ones that don't work, especially when it's just to have a Napoleon Vs. Napoleon 'joke'.

Hawking Vs. Einstein has also set a very high bar.

I vote for Mother Theresa Vs. Ghandi for the next one, we need an A-grade battle again.

Exactly. The characters should have something in common (more than name or gender) AND have unique things to rap about. Einstein/Hawking, Bieber/Beethoven, or Vader/Hitler are good examples, although Vader's lines got lazy at the end. Compare them to the Bunny/Khan and Palin/Gaga and you can see immediately it works better. Good characters aren't enough. Napoleon Bonaparte and Sarah Palin could've been in much better videos if they were paired with more suitable people.

I thought this one was the weakest yet, and I've been a fan of most of the others.
Still better than the Easter Bunny.

Also "it's all about the Benjamin" was actually a pretty good line.

Kind of poor taste, though, this one. I dunno.

I actually really liked the Easter Bunny one. Genghis Khan destroyed it.

not sure if its already posted. Elie Rap battle
lol, yeah someone posted the full video of that somewhere on here before (probably the youtube videos that deserve more views thread).

Edit:
Apparently someone posted it in this thread as well.

As for the ERB's, I think the problem with some of the newer ones is that they are so one sided and the choices of who's battling who are really bad/make no sense. The guest appearance should have been the one battling Billy Mays imo.

Haha @ the makeup for bill

The video sucks though. In fact...pretty much every video in this thread sucks. Except for Ether.

How very dare you! RAP NEWS is awesome!

Love lord monckton vs Al gore. I absolutely lost it on the emissions line.

They want to tax our wealth
For the developing worlds.

And you don't feel obliged
To provide some assistance
When we still generate 90% of emissions?

Were not in debt for emissions
We make the empire
The natives should pay us
For elevating them higher!

Fucking LOL. Love them all really, but RAP NEWS 7 is also great. The Iraqi chick has some heavy lines.

Anyways, slight derail there.. I liked the hulk hogan one, but the others got on my tits a bit.
 
we need more of these.

Teresa v. Ghandi
MLK v. Malcom X
Samus v. Master Chief
Mario v. Sonic
Bill Gates v. Steve Jobs
Obama v. Trump
Jesus v. Lucifer
etc
 
Yeah latest one isn't that great. The idea is awesome but dammit the beat is so weak. The lines were good but Billy's flow had no umph to it.

Beethoven and Beiber are still the best.

Osama v. Waldo is a good one I saw suggested.
 
Rapidly losing interest in these now :(

They really don't seem to get how the 'something in common' aspect makes them work best.
 
This one exceeds my expectations. Fucking hilarious. The Vince appearance had me screaming in laughter at my job.

EDIT: Beaten HORRRRRRIBLY.

(just saw this for the first time today, didn't know it had been listed already seeing as it's not been as popular lately.)
 
Nooooooooo! There were so many good ideas in the Gandalf vs Dumbledore rap, but they crushed them all together and ruined it.
 
They had a good run, but it's ran out of steam apparently. I loved Beethoven vs Bieber and Hawkings vs Einstein
 
I liked it.
