Epic Rap Battles of History Appreciation


Another YouTube phenomena has caught my attention over the years, and it's called Epic Rap Battles of History. Promising on delivering exactly that, each video represents two sides which are connected in some way, and then they proceed by performing rap battles.

The thing is that although they are structurally called rap battles, as far as lyrics, music and styles go, anything goes! From pop stars to scientists to historical figures to fictional characters, anyone who is well known for various reasons has a good chance to appear, provided that there is a counterpart character well up for the task to oppose him or her!

Being highly popular and promising new content depending on which rap battles the masses of fans want to see next, Epic Lloyd and Nice Peter have been sitting on a mountain of fame and profit, not only because of the idea, but also because of the high productive values, including the music, the costumes, the battle structures, the special effects and so on.

It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I wasn't exactly a fan of actual rapping before this either. Try out one of their videos if you get the chance, you might be surprised at how they are delivered, like I was at first!

My current top 10 favorite Epic Rap Battles of History are currently by the way(in no order):

10.Bruce Lee VS. Clint Eastwood
9.Gandhi VS. Martin Luther King Jr.
8.Rasputin VS. Stalin
7.Sir Isaac Newton VS. Bill Nye
6.Steven Spielberg VS. Alfred Hitchcock
5.Jack the Ripper VS. Hannibal
4.Steve Jobs VS. Bill Gates
3.Zeus VS. Thor
2.Adolf Hitler VS. Darth Vader Round 3
1.Nikola Tesla VS. Thomas Edison
