>Epic Rap Battles of 'history'
>Most videos are just pop culture figures
>>1002143
>Pop culture isn't history
Everything is history.
>>1001933
They're neither epic, nor battles, nor historic

My 8year old cousin loves them and they got him interested in history. So they're pretty okay.

You're doing the god's work now son, a whole new level of voltairism.
It's funny how the satire has more of a following than the actual battle rap movement.
>>1002124
This for sure
Though I reeeally enjoyed these
Voltaire, Socrates, Nietszche
vs.
Sun Tzu, Lao Tsu, Confucius
Julius Caesar
vs.
Shaka Zulu

They are "epic" in that they depict very renowned characters from history, they are rap battles, they are not 100% historically accurate, but they are of history, it's also just a catchy name.

This.
Also Jim Henson vs Stan Lee.
Sometimes the battle raps can be kinda weak and it's not historic enough. But they're fun.
They're a fun casual watch and it's also fun to watch some autists on here go on spergfits about their existence.
Always got a good chuckle out of the one in OP in particular.
Sometimes good.
Sometimes it feels like a LE WRONG GENERATION youtube comment (Bieber totally won against Beethoven, yet because of Le Bieber hate meme, everyone says Beethoven won)

Theyre pretty good. They actually include a lot of history references in the raps which if you dont know about the people/setting you wouldnt understand at all.

Not epic rap battles, but I like it.
The only good historical rap themed musicals are Hamilton and 1776.

Holy shit, this is great

I haven't seen them but I assume they're scripted, in which case they aren't really rap battles.
It's not much of a battle if the same person writes both raps.

Of course theyre scripted, and most rappers who go into rap battles have it semi thought out if not written down beforehand.
Anything with actual historical figures can be good. Anything with women is bad except the Bonnie and Clyde vs Romeo and Juliet video. The videos about pop-stars and fictional characters are more likely to be shit.

They used to be fun but last time I checked (read: last year some time) they were going to shit. They still come out with a couple of gems every now and then though.

that's because most of their fans aren't actually fans of rap.
