EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY!

Epic Rap Battles of History (ERB or ERBoH) is a web series of rap battles pitting both real and fictional figures of history against each other has been running for 12 years now, starting with the release of John Lennon vs Bill O'Reilly on September 26, 2010. Their latest installment was Lara Croft vs. Indiana Jones (October 25, 2022), for a total of 86 installments.

Created by Nice Peter and EpicLLOYD, the series is known for its deep cut references, witty writing, and (especially later on) great production value. It also has featured a multitude of guest rappers, including Jenna Marbles, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Snoop Dogg, George Watsky, Rhett & Link, and much more.

But which one is the most epic? Now it's time for B8 to decide with a tournament!

  • Bracket of 32
  • You get 5 nominations per day, with one of them being a double nomination (bold the double nom)
  • Only official Epic Rap Battles of History raps are eligible for this tournament (shout out to Flash in the Pan Hip Hop Conflicts of Nowadays and other YouTube rap battles though)
  • An ERB currently needs 5 nominations to get in (might change depending on the nominations we get)
  • The bracket will be seeded
  • The tournament will start sometime after New Year and when we have enough entries


Full list of ERB:

Not meaning to push my luck on this but gotta ask since the rules said "5 nominations per day, with one of them being a double nomination":

-do we get a new double-nomination opportunity for day 2 (and each day following?)
-can we repeat nominations from our day 1 on day 2+, or can we only nominate stuff we haven't previously nominated?
-if we're not allowed to renominate something we already nominated, are we allowed to trade our nominations in-topic?

Thanks for asking!

  • Yes you get a double-nom every day
  • Only stuff you haven't previously nominated
  • Sure

Oh. I would have doubled on the first post if I had realized. I was saving my double to see what was doing well. It's still the same day here, though, so

Double: Ruth vs Armstrong

The only other one I'll likely be doubling is my other unsupported nomination, Che vs Guevara, so just consider that doubled for the following day and I'll probably just be happy with that.

Ruth has the absolute most brutal single verse in the series with his radio announcer bit, and there's something incredibly likeable about everything the guy who plays Guevara does.

I don't think allowing pre-saving before the day changes would be a good precedent and might make things too confusing for me personally so I'll take the double nom for Ruth vs. Armstrong but please just make the vote for Che vs. Guy tomorrow.
