First verse was terrible, but it picked up quickly.nateeasy said:

Wow, that was a good battle... The Cat in the Hat verse along with their reaction to Shakespeare wins it for them though imo.

I liked these better when they were somewhat historical and not just topical cultural references.
The lyrics are fine but the voices are so off. Vader vs. Hitler was so funny because of the line delivery (e.g. "I am Adolf Hitler, commander of the third reich! Little known fact: Also dope on ze mic!"). Also, Gandalf sounds very similar to Genghis Khan.

Me too. I just watched Shakespeare vs. Dr. Seuss and I wasn't impressed. These have really gone down hill since the shittacular Khan vs the Easter bunny.

My favorite one is Hitler vs. Darth Vader. The beat is amazing.

No one here has looked at the most recent one? (Mr. T versus Mr. Rogers - can't link to it because I'm at work.)
I think their low point was the Ghengis Khan versus the Easter Bunny, but the subsequent ones have been a steady improvement (with this latest one being the best one, post-Einstein and Hawkins).
Some of my fav lines of this one:
Mr. T:
Mr. Rogers:
Clearly I think Mr. Rogers won.

Mr. T:
"I'll choke we with your own sweater sleeves / You couldn't even beat me in the land of make believe!"
"I will Mr. T bag you, in the closest cemetary / Nobody's gonna miss you, cuz all your friends imaginary"
"I will Mr. T bag you, in the closest cemetary / Nobody's gonna miss you, cuz all your friends imaginary"
Mr. Rogers:
"I like you just the way you are, one in a million / but it looks like the barber gave your head a brazilian."
"I teach the whole world full of children, I can tell / you call yourself T cuz you're too dumb to spell"
"When my plan comes together you won't even see it coming / I'll chop you into 4 black dudes and I'll remake Cool Runnings"
"Get right back in your van, get the fuck out of my neighborhood"

I was expecting real memorable rap battles when entering the thread. Then I saw the first post and changed my expectations to DJ styled video clips of historical figures forming some kind of mixtape, left thread disapointed. Not bad for YouTube Junk but the production values are too high for the amaturish end result. I wonder if that dude has real mixtapes or if he can freestyle?

Captain Kirk vs. Colombus
Definitely an odd one, what with Colombus' pause in the beginning, and Kirk's stunted speech. It's not as good as some of the more recent ones, but I still enjoyed it.

Good beat, and Columbus is fun, but they go a little overboard on the Kirk shtick.

Somehow stumbled upon one of these videos on Youtube (I have no idea)... and couldn't help but watch every single one of them. All of them are at least 50% excellent some of them 100% amazing.
Love Einstein vs Hawking, Mr. Rogers was just amazing (Cool Runnings? LOL), and Kirk's performance made that video take a bit to grow on me but Christopher Columbus is killer (I am the fabric of history, you are a fictional stain. I'll stick a flag in your ass and claim you for Spain! - also something very appealing about the colors and presentation of Columbus). Also enjoyed Gandalf vs Dumbledore. Of course Hitler vs Vader is awesome, I'd love to see a part two especially for that. Don't care much for Shakespeare, Watsky can do better than that I'd think. Not bad, just feels a little disjointing somehow. Overall good shit and I'm really interested to see what they pull out for the second season.

I thought the taking off the Leia helmet to reveal the Darth Vader helmet was funny.
Hahaha.
This beat is SO HARD!!
"So suck on these ...... ah... these what sir... these robot NUTS!"
Season 2 is already off to a good start and that preview has me STOKED for the rest of them.

Hah. I agree, Hitler wins again. I'm surprised the first episode of Season 2 didn't pack more of a punch, though. I have to say I'm excited to see Hawking chilling in Jaba's lair - in retrospect that has to be my favorite singular performance. Can't WAIT to see him back on it. Sieg fucking Heil.. hah. Really enjoyed the "double mask", too. Clever to start out with "someone who loathes you" I don't really dig the "end" though. Also rather surprised they reused the backgrounds. Love Vader thrusting in the background..!
Agree with you, I think the track on the first was a lot better on the first battle. This also has to be one of the shortest ones (as far as the verses go), it clocks barely a minute.
Haha, this is the best one in a long time.
