Epic Rap Battles of History Part Two

In part one I posted some of my favorite ERB's and while this blog is not yet taken off, I am not giving up hope.

The concept is a solid one for Epic Rap Battles of History, they take usually two famous or semi famous people from history, they can be real people, such as Lady Gaga, John Lennon, Freddy Mercury or famous from movies or books, such as Darth Vader, Batman, Sherlock Holmes, and etc.

The two people will battle rap style, some of the pairings make more sense then others, but they take YOUR requests for future rap battles. Last time I put some of my favorite rap battles but in case your tastes or the opposite of mine I will put some of my least favorite up now so you can get a taste of all types.

So now some of my least favorites from the first two seasons, as Season 3 just started and only has two battles.

Season One:
 Easter Bunny vs Genghis Khan

This was just a weird, weird pairing. While the Khan parts were not bad and the Easter bunny had a clever line or two it is in my opinion one of the weakest of the whole series.

Christopher Columbus vs Captain Kirk

 While this was fun and had some clever lines from both sides, it never quite hit the level with me as some of the others do.  Its really on the fence for me, I don't hate it but its not in my faves either.


 Napoleon vs Napoleon

Title really says it all...Just paired up due to same names.

SEASON TWO: This season is harder to find ones I don't like as they had really started getting into the swing of it, so while I don't find any of season two bad I will put the ones I feel are the weakest and why.

Mario Brothers vs Wright Brothers

 While I REALLY wanted to like this one as it also stars youtubers Rhett and Link who I also like. But this was just another too weird a pair up for me to really get behind. Its fun but not all that clever considering the talent involved.

Cleopatra vs Marilyn Monroe

Again, not awful and the pairing makes a sort of sense but its just not my favorite overall. But its not all bad.

Batman vs Sherlock Holmes

 Okay, calm down, let me explain. While BOTH sides have good or great lines I have a few issues with this one, The writers know more about Batman then Sherlock giving them more to work with on that side, they have knowledge of Sherlock but its limited, or maybe there is just more to work with in Batman. Either way Sherlock gets the best lines and while I love both people I really felt Batman got the short end here. Thats really my main issue with it.

So that is some of the ones I felt were weaker, Season two is great overall as they knew what they were doing by that point and really had fun with it.

So give them a follow on Twitter(see previous entry) or Youtube and see what Epic Rap Battles is all about. http://www.youtube.com/user/ERB
