"Epic Rap Battles" is an amazingly well done Internet series. The plot is simply that two people have epic rap battles. Despite the name, it's not just done with historical figures. It's literally any person, living or dead, real or fictional. Will it be real vs. Real? Real vs. Fictional? Fictional vs fictional?
Probably the most impressive thing is that the people on this really did their research! You have to be smart to understand a lot of the jokes and know the stuff that they're talking about. I think my favorite might be Ash Ketchum Vs. Charles Darwin. I get it, they're both about evolution! There really aren't that many episodes when compared to other long running YouTube shows. I imagine that must be because these episodes are very hard to make.
Even if the visuals don't always work out, you can constantly be entertained by the songs. I think the craziest one would have to be Genghis Khan vs. The Easter Bunny! Who seriously ordered that? I guess I could even compare this to "Death Battle". I mean, it's rap, not death, but there are some similarities. We even get some celebrities in this like Key and Peele! ****
