Snake5555555555 10/10/19 2:23:46 AM #83:	83. Stephen King vs. Edgar Allan Poe (12 points) Nominated by: Raka_Putra (4/5 remaining) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56R3hU-fWZY" data-time=" Importance: 1.5 Fear: 1 Snake: 9.5 This has always been one of my favorite ERBs. I'm a big fan of both of these authors, and the flow, lines and references are simply outstanding and so creative. Starting with Poe's verses, I love how the beginning is delivered in Poe's signature trochee style (also referenced in a line), and later using alliteration as a reference to The Raven. The Bram Stoker diss towards King and subsequently 'Salem's Lot is great, but what's even better is the subtle nod towards this quote from Mistery: "you beat a typewriter instead of your meat". Great use of word play all-around there! Poe's second verse is a bit more uneventful for me, however the speedy delivery and mannerisms of Poe is incredible, plus he still gets in some good lines like how Poe really suffered from tragedy throughout his life, focusing on straight disses rather than too many clever references. On to King, his first verse involves name-checking so many of both his own works and Poe's that it becomes such a dazzling display of distressing disses that it can honestly be hard to keep up with! IKing's second verse however really comes in hard with just some killer lines; one of my favorites being "In eight bars I can write a whole best-seller", a stone cold reference to both Poe's alcoholism and of course, a musical bar. Honestly, that's probably my favorite line of the whole thing! It's really cool how the raps both start and ends with a Raven reference too, fantastic bookending! ERB's can be a pretty hit-or-miss affair, depending on your familiarity with both figures really, but on the whole, this one absolutely nails it. I only touched on it briefly, but the acting for both authors is so on-point it's, dare I say, scary! It just really adds a lot of punch to the lines when the actors are giving it their all. On the topic of who won... I think I have to give the edge to King! His second verse just really seals the deal for me. In reality though, I'm actually Poe > King! So, even if you don't like ERB too much, I'd say give this a watch if you love one or both of these authors, I think you'll enjoy it! --- I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back. https://i.imgtc.ws/2Q88rI4.gif - https://i.gifer.com/E07R.gif <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:928578116] in Snake Rank... [t:78055346]...</cite> <quote>83.
