Fun fact: Today's poll is different because there are too many rappers.

Ketchum vs. Darwin
Ruth vs. Armstrong

Ya gotta be real good to break the traditional format and bring enough heat. The back and forth is what makes it a rap battle, and without that it's hard to drop enough bombs.

That's a fair point. My favorite multi-rapper match isn't here yet but I think it does that really well.

This is pretty close to how I'd rate them, though I'd put Lenin first and Stalin above Kubrick.

Spielberg vs. Hitchcock
Ruth vs. Armstrong

Ruth's play-by-play announcer in the second verse is the single best burn in all of ERB, not because it's got great flow or amazing wordplay, but just because of the truth and the delivery. Ruth's casual and not taking the whole thing seriously, which is upsetting Armstrong, and then he flips the switch and shows what he gets upset at and absolutely spits nails at Armstrong for his lack of sportsmanship.

@Arishok Just confirming, can I count this post as your vote for both Spielberg vs. Hitchcock and Rasputin vs Stalin?

Spielberg vs. Hitchcock
Rasputin vs. Stalin

I find Ruth/Armstrong to be pretty weak honestly, probably my least favorite battle featured in the tournament so far.

Ketchum vs. Darwin
Ruth vs. Armstrong

All four of these are great, but Ketchum's burns are way too good and Ruth goes absolutely nuts in that one verse. So it's gotta go to them for me.
