<p>His videos are so entertaining. At least, they used to be... NicePeter's original rap battles were AWESOME but his new stuff is lacking. (Rematch between Hitler and Vader? How very unoriginal.) I still think he's a genius though. And Epic Llyod deserves more recognition, he has practically no fans. </p>

<p>A list of the rap battles & their winners (feel free to debate me on the winners):</p>

<ol>
<li><p>John Lennon vs. Bill O' Reilly
(Lennon DEFINATELY won)</p></li>
<li><p>Adolf Hitler vs. Darth Vader
(Vader won, it was kind of obvious. And then he won again in the rematch)</p></li>
<li><p>Abraham Lincoln vs. Chuck Norris
(Chuck Norris won. He always wins)</p></li>
<li><p>Sarah Palin vs. Lady Gaga
(Palin won, but I enjoyed Gaga's outfit changes immensely)</p></li>
<li><p>Kim Jong Il vs. Hulk Hogan
(What a terrible battle. Hogan and that other guy won. Lame concept, lame execution)</p></li>
<li><p>Justin Bieber vs. Beethoven
(Beethoven won; the world would agree because everyone's always hating on Justin Bieber)</p></li>
<li><p>Einstein vs. Hawking
(Hawking won. Autotune + Angry Birds, ftw!)</p></li>
<li><p>Genghis Kang vs. Easter Bunny
(Easter Bunny won, he was so much more articulate than poor Genghis)</p></li>
<li><p>Napolean vs. Napolean
(Napolean Dynamite won, NicePeter did a great job impersonating him)</p></li>
<li><p>Billy Mays vs. Benjamin Franklin & the Shamwow guy
(Franklin & the Shamwow guy won, although it was a little unfair for Mays)</p></li>
<li><p>Gandalf vs. Dumbledore
(Another terrible rap. I don't even know who won, they were both just annoying.)</p></li>
<li><p>Shakespeare vs. Dr. Seuss
(Dr. Seuss won! Although I'm a big fan of Watsky)</p></li>
<li><p>Mr. T vs. Mr. Rogers
(Mr. Rogers won... I used to watch Mr. Rogers)</p></li>
<li><p>Kirk vs. Columbus
(Cap. Kirk won. This one was tricky though, they both did great)</p></li>
<li><p>NicePeter vs. EpicLyold
(KassemG won. Lol, Kassem...)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Shamwow guy was on Billy Mays’s side</p>

<p>Mr. Rogers > Everyone.</p>

<p>I disagree with Vader winning I think Hitlers line of “You stink Vader why don’t you step in my shower” won it.And I also disagree with Hawkings winning I think Einstein won it with “I’m the giant whose shoulders you would have stood on if you could stand”.I agree with the rest.</p>

<p>Einstein vs. Hawking. Completely agree with you there. Hawking was amazing!</p>

<p>But I think that Shakespeare won against Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss didn’t even do anything. And Things 1 and 2 sounded extremely annoying.</p>

<p>Einstein vs. Hawking is just awesome.</p>

<p>I love how they hide tidbits of HISTORICALLY ACCURATE information in the raps.
For example, in the Hitler one, Vader said “my stormtroopers make yours look like someone took a piece of **** and cloned it.” Well, the guy who invented Star Wars actually got many of his ideas from WWII. Hitler called his troops “stormtroopers”; so does Vader (what a coincidence).</p>

<p>I dunno about Hitler winning… The shower part was funny, but was it a redeeming move? The lyrics leading up to that part were stellar, but he never followed up his threat, and Vader did freeze him in cryptonite. </p>

<p>Lol, I loved the Einstein vs. Hawking one too. Anyone notice that Einstein spoofed Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time” with “A Brief History of Pain”?</p>

<p>@shmluza See, I don’t think it matters if Dr. Seuss actually rapped or not. Dr. Seuss was so boss he didn’t NEED to say anything to win. He had his fictional creatures rap for him. Cat in the Hat beats boring playwrite any day.</p>

<p>The “things” were pretty annoying. “Smash your globe” was the only funny part (an allusion to smashing Shakespeare’s famous Globe Theater).</p>

<p>I LOVE THESE VIDS!!! I watched these a loooongg time ago and CRACKED UPPP!! It’s soo stupid lol</p>

<p>Well… i think hitler overall had better written lyrics the only insult that darth vader made that I found funny was the one where he insults hitler’s mustache.I also don’t think vader made his words flow the way hitler did.Wasn’t really a fan of the rematch either though.</p>

<p>Word 10char</p>

<p>Having Hitler frozen isn’t actually part of the rap battle, so it really doesn’t mean anything. “Definitely”, Einstein won since Hawking is lame.</p>

<p>Kirk vs. Columbus was definitely my favorite. Every time Kirk opened his mouth, I started cracking up. I think it’s safe to say that he won by a LOT.</p>

<p>I love listening to the Napoleon one when doing my AP Euro homework.</p>

The freezing thing is DEFINATELY a part of the video- and the rap. It’s the basis for the rematch too. Hitler may have been a brilliant speaker in real life, but in the video he reminds me of a little kid screeching at a big bully. </p>

<p>Uhhm, Hawking’s awesome. I saw him on an episode of the Simpsons. (And on the Fairly Oddparents!) That means he’s automatically cool. </p>

<p>@anaria
Captain Kirk dominated. At first I thought Columbus won, but then I was like… No, no. Just because Kirk sounds like he has a speech impediment doesn’t mean he can’t win a rap battle :)</p>

<p>@pippakarenina
I listened to the Napoleon rap while studying for a test once. I think it helped with my thought process.</p>

<p>Defini tely.</p>

<p>^ Haha that was bothering me too.</p>

<p>Heavily disagree with OP. I think Shakespeare and Abraham Lincoln won their respective battles by far. Watsky has too much hip-hop talent to NOT win, and Chuck Norris a) sucks in real life, and b) just talked about himself in his rap with no retaliation.</p>

<p>OP, stop capitalizing words you can’t spell CORECTLY.</p>
