Jamal. This is going to be a slippery slope for you. The disrespect that flows from the music is on another level. ERBs will get you more views, but the vibe can be infectious. Don't get me wrong, ERB is really good, but just watch yourself.
Sometimes the characters are played by celebrities. Here, old Michael was Nice Peter and Elvis was Epic Lloyd. They created the series. They were also The Joker and Pennywise.
Hi, I am sorry to comment on this great video with a totally unrelated request, but i do not know how else to do so. I doubt you'll even see this but if you do and others agree I'd love for you to react to this version of "Loser" by the Dead. I think you'd love it. Thank you ! ua-cam.com/video/oZ_Y_GEQfwI/v-deo.html
It is totally appropriate to pause a lot during ERB videos. While you're laughing at one joke they throw 3 more spitfires out. I love these ERB reaction videos.
He rewinds a bit too so he doesnt miss any, lots of channels dont and its annoying, or they check their phone without pausing the video then get mad if people complain about it..
Bro, you don't have to apologize for needing to pause these battles, man. There's a LOT to catch in most of these. The two main writers are NicePeter and EpicLloyd. They're freakin brilliant with their bars and they do some serious deep dives as far as history and actual facts about the people in the videos.
Don't worry about these getting blocked, the ERB guys love the reaction community. At least one of them regularly watches them too, so they might see this.
The amount of research these guys do is impressive. Its like getting a history lesson in rap form. You need to watch the subtitles. in the Einstein vs Hawking one of them calls the other a pea brain spelled p-brane in the subtitles, which is part of string theory.
Michael, was obsessed with Elvis, that's why he married his daughter Lisa Marie. And their lives mirrored each other, bankrupt at the end of their lives, elvis died of heart failure, my died of an overdose, both assumed to be okay but left to die on their own.
@@VKrulikoski "I felt I was disposable. You know? And it was the same with my father." She was talking about the people they surrounded themselves with and she didn't like how they treated people. You were either 100% loyal or were 100% dismissed.
In no scenario based in documented fact was Michael Jackson obsessed with Elvis Presley. He never cited him as an influence and even as child according to his brother Jermaine, he felt Presley was a comsumate copier of Black acts like Jackie Wilson. Especially Jackie Wilson. Jackson is well documented for citing his influences and Presley was never mentioned in the conversation. One man had a massive successful career that bestowed upon him the distinction of having the most artistic achievement awards ever irrespective of gender( over 750 plus awards) and is documented as having the most successful career ever as an artist. His influence as an ARTIST is seen in 3 to 4 different generations right up until today. His work as a solo artist sounds just as fresh and relevant as it did when it was first introduced to the public. He won 7 academy awards in one night, more than Presley did in his entire career. He is in the song writers Hall Of Fame and Dance Hall of Fame which puts him in esteemed company with others of those respective genre's who made their mark on the artistic consciousness of their peers and audience. He also had artistic control over his career and had a vision for his work. Of course I'm referring to Michael Jackson. Elvis Presley was a good singer and I have a considerable amount of his work . I like his ballads especially as he matured. He was Charismatic and a good vocalist who put feeling into his interpretations. However he was primarily a cover artist who made his living covering other people's songs. Out of 700 plus recordings he did not write a single song. He Benefitted off of the creative efforts of others and added his own spin vocally to their songs. This meant he did not have the creative spark and intelligence to make something of his own that could add to the music culture in a game changing artistic way. Cover artists generally have limited options and their careers depend in large part on the work of a good song writer who can create something worthy which is not easy. This explains Presleys drop in popularity and significance during the 60s British invasion, Soul explosion and the explosive hard Rock, Heavy metal, disco, folk etc. ....eras in the 70s. He was a las Vegas lounge act by the mid 70s who had been relegated to doing repetitive spins on old hits that his generation appreciated. From an ARTISTIC standpoint he is not mentioned by any rock act etc.....As an influence on their creativity and vision as serious artists. When he is mentioned it is generally out of respect and courtesy. Most credit him for making Rock and Roll mainstream. He was a figure head with a certain look that the segregated conservative 50s tolerated. He deserves credit for opening the door for the black pioneers he revered and tried to emulate. But as far as being an artist who brought along REAL music change and Socio cultural awareness Like The Beatles and Bob Dylan, he simply does not rate in that dynamic. Jackson By contrast opened the doors for black artists on MTV which by his sheer star power took that medium and made it a house hold staple for all acts regardless of ethnicity. He also penned some of the most poignant songs on social issues and the human condition that in some ways brought much needed light to those societal concerns. I like both men and respect them both. Always will. However No 2 men can be as polar opposite in terms of achievements than these two. The only thing they have in common is their respective emotional disorders and mental breakdowns and unwillingness to get help that unfortunately led to their untimely passing.
@@fitzgeraldanthony9333 Elvis Presley 3000 Music Award. Michael Jackson only 300 music award. Check out the Graceland Archives (Elvis estate, where only part of the Elvis awards are). It's gigantic. Elvis Presley played several musical instruments (Michael Jackson did not play a musical instrument - Michael Jackson said so himself). Elvis invented his own dance style (Michael Jackson only copied the moonwalk). Elvis invented his own style of music with R&B. According to history books, Elvis also invented the pop sound (there was no pop sound before). In the media, too, Elvis is often cited as the first musician to have sung pop music. I can give more examples. Even today, Elvis receives many gold and platinum awards each year, which are shown at Graceland in January each year.
When Elvis said that he was going to light him up like a Pepsi commercial, I almost died laughing!! 🤣😂🤣 That entire thing was so wrong on EVERY level!! 🤣😂🤣
The people named Elvis ''The king of rock and roll'', Michael Jackson and his record company named Michael ''The king of pop''. PERIOD. No offence to Michael.
No THE PEOPLE CALLED MICHAEL the King of POP. The Media tried since the 80's to deny him the TITLE. The Companys and the Media are desperate to look for another King of POP - but they failed. The TITLE sticks, if you like it or not. WHY DO YOU have to insult Michael Jackson to make Elvis bigger? If YOU are so confident in his greatnes, why did it bother you? WE are not interested in Elvis title.
I would only add that imo the king of rock and roll is really a toss up between Chuck Berry and Elvis. As a guitarist I want to say Chuck is easily the king of rock and roll, if for no other reason than he could play that guitar like ringin' a bell. ^-^
@@unknown-pt9fk The moniker King of Pop was first given to Michael Jackson in 1989 during the Soul Train Awards. He was named "Artist of the Decade" and during her presentation of the award long time friend Elizabeth Taylor declared him to be "The King of Pop, Rock & Soul." That's the first time Michael Jackson was ever referred to as the King of Pop, by a friend at an awards show. Elvis Presley was originally referred to as a "country" or "hillbilly" artist until his music took on a more rock & roll sound. The first time Elvis was officially referred to as "The King of Rock & Roll" was by a Memphis based journalist named Robert Johnson in 1956. Johnson had criteria for his claim however, citing various things such as the fact that Elvis drew the largest & most enthusiastic crowds, the amount of money he was making at the time, and the fact that he sold more records than any of his contemporaries & rivals. Not to mention his Movie contracts. Michael is Definitely the King of Pop, no one can take that from him. But Elvis had #1 hits across 6 different charts ranging from Pop, to Rock & roll, to Country & bluegrass. The irony though, Jackson & Presley were a lot alike. Both were eccentric, shy in public settings & interviews, had their own Estates(Elvis with Graceland & Michael with Neverland).
If Elvis is the King of Rock what does that make Chuck Berry? Elvis just did music that was already happening in the black community and made it ok for white kids to listen to he isn’t and wasn’t the King of Shit.
Oh man... It’s MJ & The King now??? Holy s**t!!! 🤣🤣🤣. Little man playing MJ at the start was BANG on target with the outfit & the ‘fro ✊️😁. Brother man playing Elvis was hysterical... If I had to “go to the videotape” (the very famous sports call), I’d have to give this one to The King... In a photo finish ☝️😎📸. Jamel... These guys were ON FIRE!!! 🔥🔥🔥
What, have you watched ERB before sir, because if you haven't, you're in for a wild ride, so many amazing rap battles, so just sit back and relax, and enjoy the ride.
Peter and Lloyd are the guys who write the ERB bars. They also produce all of the beats (bare one or two). These boys are fantastic. They put so much work into these battles.
They were right there on screen, too. Lloyd portrayed Elvis and Peter portrayed "vanilla added" Michael. There is a third writer, Zach Sherwin. He's on screen in ERB's frequently also, though not as much as the first two. Zach has been Sherlock Holmes (vs Batman), Alexander the Great (vs Ivan the Terrible), and Voltaire (Philosopher's battle). Notable guest stars, like Weird Al and Snoop Dogg, also contribute to the battles they appear in.
I've seen a few of these before but I hadn't actually seen this one, so I was howling along with you. The writing here is just fantastic. I might need to go down a rabbit hole and go watch stuff I missed.
The two guys that are responsible for these rap battles are known as Epic Loyd and Nice Peter. If you really want to find out what's going on, then check out the behind the scenes videos.
Michael lost right out of the gate. He said he beat all Elvis's records. Michael #1 songs= 14, Elvis= 18, Top10 songs= Michael= 30, Elvis= 40, here is the killer record no one even comes close to, Top 40 songs Michael =36, Elvis= 114. Now bow to the true King. (dont get me wrong I like MJ but no contest.
Micheal only had like 12 or 13. Elvis has by far out sold anyone else. He HAS outsold Michael Jackson and the Beatles put together along with a COUPLE OF OTHERS!!!
@gdwillia91: You are right Michael Jackson was always jealous of Elvis. Elvis had a lot more records than M. Jackson. Elvis said to his billions of fans: "I'm not a king, I'm a completely normal person"! Michael Jackson said to his fans: "Please, say king to me"! You can see that Elvis was the real king.
@@matrix5000100 that's the biggest cao right now lmao he never said that, nor was he ever jealous. why would he ? in terms of generall popularity, awards, and album sales, he completely washed elvis on that lol
@@ShortPuff You have your opinion and I have mine. It was Michael Jackson's own words: "Why does everyone say Elvis is king and nobody says king to me!" There is a film of it. It is also a fact that every Michael Jackson album was financed with millions of dollars in advertising. That's why Michael Jackson had trouble with his record company Sony, because Sony didn't want to pay the many millions anymore. 99% of Elvis Presley albums were never funded by advertising. Elvis Manager once said: "You don't need to advertise Elvis albums, because Elvis albums sell themselves!"
Not only are Epic Lloyd and NicePeter really funny, but their lyrical and mic skills are on point. I love the amount of research and visual detail that went into these videos; and yeah, I have to agree that Elvis won this battle.
You turned me onto these today...I WENT BINGY...The combinations are so amazing and there's kernels of knowledge in every one...Miley Cyrus vs Joan of Arc was hilarious...the Oppenheimer one was staggering, so amazing; Hitler Vs Darth Vader was sublime...It helps to be well read and well versed in history and then they become hilarious...What an amazing original idea...I can't believe they've been doing these for ten years on here...Not until I saw you reacting to them did I check them out...Thanks for your hard work!
This was hilarious. I’ve never seen anything like it. I was taking a break from true crime, and wow, I could not stop laughing. I really needed this. I have to play this again and send it to my family, well, some of them. 🤣
My good sir, this is OLD! Nice Peter and Epic Lloyd have some amazing work that has been out since forever! You HAVE to check out their great stuff, like Bruce Lee vs Clint Eastwood, Cleopatra vs Marilyn Monroe, Bonnie and Clyde vs Romeo and Juliet, Thanos vs Oppenheimer, Joker vs Pennywise just to name a few
At 5:50 at the end of the video, I didn't think Jamel was going to go to his corner... I thought he was going to do like Elvis & Leave the Building!! Lol. Man, you looked ready to run!!! ROFL :) (Sorry I'm so late to this video, not sure how I missed this one!!) Love ERBs & love your reactions to them all, so keep doing them and music as you please :)
There are so many epic rap battles of History. They've been around for years. You have just jumped in a huge rabbit hole. One of my favorites I don't know why is Burger King versus Ronald McDonald. That was one of my first ones I ever saw and it was hilarious. Welcome to the epic rap battles of History. It'd be really smart to watch the background in the history of how they do these. It is amazing. The more you get into it the more you see there will be some celebrities on they're doing some stuff it is awesome. And no holes barred that's for sure just like the real rap battles
Whenever you get back around to doing Epic Rap Battles, I highly suggest you check out Bill Gates vs Steve Jobs, or even the Hitler/Vader trilogy. I am happy you've found these. Great reaction buddy.
ERB loves watching people react to their videos. Sometimes they even comment. I haven't heard of anyone getting a block or strike from their videos being reacted to. Enjoy the rabbit hole. These guys are hilarious!!
They're all excellent, to be honest. Pick one at random, it'll be great. Hitler vs Darth Vader is one of my personal faves, as is Ronald McDonald vs Burger King
To answer your question about who they are: Michael Jackson (older) played by series creator Nice Peter. Elvis Presley is played by fellow series creator Epic Lloyd (who has his own rap series called Dis Raps For Hire).
@Jamel_AKA_Jamal You're good with the ERB. Peter and Lloyd don't do copyright claims on reactions. If you're enjoying them, I would say just go through them all. I would love to see your reactions to the whole library and with how much they have, you'll have content for quite some time. My favorite, though, is JRR Tolkien vs George RR Martin.
My face hurts from LMBOROTFLOL LMBOROTFLOL, I was talking to you Jamal… screaming my replies, and you looked at me with a stare and screamed ANSWER ME.!?!?! lol lol lol. Mind you, I know you weren’t truly talking directly to me, but it feels that way when I get so rapt in watching videos. As far as the video, it was my first time seeing one like that. So I hope another subscriber has your answer for you. Take care, see ya soon💞
Brother Jamal, I think Ray Stevens 'Ballad of the Blue Cyclone' and 'Haircut Song', would be great to see you react too! God bless. And thank you for the fun times and reactions!
Bro, that was a great video. Just gonna let it out there, if you didn't pause enough for an ERB, you didn't get the bars and that's bad..... Cause they don't hold back for these battles and that makes their content great man...
Don’t worry about copyright blocking here man, these guys LOVE when folks do reactions to their content. I’ve seen Peter and Lloyd react to several folks thanking them for reacting. They are amazing talent that have Ben doing these for a decade now (and almost all of them are amazing).
"Nice Peter" was older Michael, and "EpicLLOYD" was Elvis. This was released in 2012 and was from their second season. Peter and Lloyd write most if not all of the material themselves, but they also frequently have guests appear in the videos, such as Snoop Dog as Moses, Jenna Marbles as Eve, Weird Al Yankovic as Sir Isaac Newton, and T-Pain as Stevie Wonder. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Rap_Battles_of_History, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Epic_Rap_Battles_of_History_episodes
If you are gonna do all of them, and I hope you do, save a couple of good ones for the end and do the earlier ones soon otherwise may be left feeling disappointed!
great how these all leave you speechless for a moment after, there is No limits when it comes to ERB. Fun rewatching these. There are sooo many. Adam vs Eve is a short but funny one.

They get a lot of help from their discord as well. There is just too much lore for some of these characters haha.
Michael Jackson: "I didn't lose any chocolate. I just added vanilla."

but the joker was his best

Wow I haven't seen those epic rap battles for years!! Thank you for getting me back in that rabbit hole!
If it’s been years then you are in for some treats as there are new ones.
I'm so glad you're in my feed, I love your reactions man! Keep these up
Awsome....i didnt know of these epic rap battles of history until seeing this video. Keep being a great human. Keep reacting.
Thank you I needed a good laugh today because watching your reaction was priceless. 🤣🤣
Also, I guarantee you dont need to worry about getting blocked. ERB loves reactors! And pause all you want, ERBs are super pause worthy.
Wow I just got through requesting this on your newest reaction, and here it is a day-old, you already have it. That's great!
You turned me onto these today...I WENT BINGY...The combinations are so amazing and there's kernels of knowledge in every one...Miley Cyrus vs Joan of Arc was hilarious...the Oppenheimer one was staggering, so amazing; Hitler Vs Darth Vader was sublime...It helps to be well read and well versed in history and then they become hilarious...What an amazing original idea...I can't believe they've been doing these for ten years on here...Not until I saw you reacting to them did I check them out...Thanks for your hard work!
Omg, that was hilarious! I can't stop laughing! 😂🤣
This was hilarious. I’ve never seen anything like it. I was taking a break from true crime, and wow, I could not stop laughing. I really needed this. I have to play this again and send it to my family, well, some of them. 🤣
Hitler vs Vader is pretty classic.
How did I not know about this for 10 years.....Ive been checking out these Epic rap battles all morning
Bruce Lee vs Clint Eastwood is my favorite so far
Just came across your channel via this vid. Subscribed! Love the sick setup in the room!
Michael Jordan vs Muhammad Ali - Epic Rap Battles of History
My good sir, this is OLD! Nice Peter and Epic Lloyd have some amazing work that has been out since forever! You HAVE to check out their great stuff, like Bruce Lee vs Clint Eastwood, Cleopatra vs Marilyn Monroe, Bonnie and Clyde vs Romeo and Juliet, Thanos vs Oppenheimer, Joker vs Pennywise just to name a few
This is too funny! Love your reaction, as always 😁
I'm so hoping you fall down this rabbit hole and bring us all with you!
Sorry jamal, my elvis won. 😂😂😂💞💞💞
At 5:50 at the end of the video, I didn't think Jamel was going to go to his corner... I thought he was going to do like Elvis & Leave the Building!! Lol. Man, you looked ready to run!!! ROFL :) (Sorry I'm so late to this video, not sure how I missed this one!!) Love ERBs & love your reactions to them all, so keep doing them and music as you please :)
There are so many epic rap battles of History. They've been around for years. You have just jumped in a huge rabbit hole. One of my favorites I don't know why is Burger King versus Ronald McDonald. That was one of my first ones I ever saw and it was hilarious. Welcome to the epic rap battles of History. It'd be really smart to watch the background in the history of how they do these. It is amazing. The more you get into it the more you see there will be some celebrities on they're doing some stuff it is awesome. And no holes barred that's for sure just like the real rap battles
Whenever you get back around to doing Epic Rap Battles, I highly suggest you check out Bill Gates vs Steve Jobs, or even the Hitler/Vader trilogy. I am happy you've found these. Great reaction buddy.
You should check out the mr.t vs mr. Rogers epic rap battle next that one is my favorite so hilarious
ERB loves watching people react to their videos. Sometimes they even comment. I haven't heard of anyone getting a block or strike from their videos being reacted to. Enjoy the rabbit hole. These guys are hilarious!!
I really like the music and movement you use in the intro. It reminds me of the old Rocky and Bullwinkle show
Sometimes ERB is like a masterclass in verbal savagery.
so glad you found these guys
They're all excellent, to be honest. Pick one at random, it'll be great. Hitler vs Darth Vader is one of my personal faves, as is Ronald McDonald vs Burger King
The same two that I was thinking of since everyone knows their history.
This one was one of the most savage ERB's they've made
Damn this video is almost 10 years old and I'm JUST NOW SEEING THIS? HILARIOUS! Thanks for sharing this one!
Needs subtitles, mate lol
Welcome to the ERB family, man. ERB ALWAYS goes there =D
I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR ERB CONTENT!!
To answer your question about who they are: Michael Jackson (older) played by series creator Nice Peter. Elvis Presley is played by fellow series creator Epic Lloyd (who has his own rap series called Dis Raps For Hire).
Awwwwwwww man, I wondered when this day would come. Welcome to the rabbit hole of ERB.
@Jamel_AKA_Jamal You're good with the ERB. Peter and Lloyd don't do copyright claims on reactions. If you're enjoying them, I would say just go through them all. I would love to see your reactions to the whole library and with how much they have, you'll have content for quite some time. My favorite, though, is JRR Tolkien vs George RR Martin.
Michael Jackson the king of pop we miss you Michael💕💕💕💕
I love your reactions to these! Please keep it up!!
@ 5:09... “When you met your own wife when she was 14”... That is a massive BURN 🔥🔥🔥
Finally! You’re gonna love these and we’re gonna love seeing you discover the genius
My face hurts from LMBOROTFLOL LMBOROTFLOL, I was talking to you Jamal… screaming my replies, and you looked at me with a stare and screamed ANSWER ME.!?!?! lol lol lol. Mind you, I know you weren’t truly talking directly to me, but it feels that way when I get so rapt in watching videos. As far as the video, it was my first time seeing one like that. So I hope another subscriber has your answer for you. Take care, see ya soon💞
It would be Awesome if you reacted to more of these!
PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE
Had to watch you reaction to this again
Brother Jamal, I think Ray Stevens 'Ballad of the Blue Cyclone' and 'Haircut Song', would be great to see you react too! God bless. And thank you for the fun times and reactions!
Never saw these before. Keep on. Funny.
The last episode of Season 1 has Epic Lloyd vs Nice Peter and its AMAZING! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣
Yo!! WOW. Super impressive.. I'm going for MORE.
Please keep doing these! ERB is amazing!
Bro, that was a great video.
Just gonna let it out there, if you didn't pause enough for an ERB, you didn't get the bars and that's bad.....
Cause they don't hold back for these battles and that makes their content great man...
This is one that's honestly too tough for me. Between not only the burns but also the rebuttals, this is one of the few that deserve a rematch.
Whoever writes these things has an amazingly creative mind!
It might be fun to put a poll up with these reactions to see who your viewers think won.
Don’t worry about copyright blocking here man, these guys LOVE when folks do reactions to their content. I’ve seen Peter and Lloyd react to several folks thanking them for reacting. They are amazing talent that have Ben doing these for a decade now (and almost all of them are amazing).
@Minska Catral is 100% on point. Peter and Lloyd will not block your reactions. They LOVE reaction videos.
I know you probably don’t know a lot about these two but I would love to see you react to Shaka Zulu vs Julius Caesar
Do all of them my good sir. And you shouldn't have to worry about them getting blocked. They are very supportive of people reacting to their videos.
Nice peter and epic Lloyd. Been watching them for years, crazy talented
This has got to be one of the funniest ones I've ever seen. Their disses were so cold! Had my mouth open the whole time. LMAO🤣🤣🤣
"Nice Peter" was older Michael, and "EpicLLOYD" was Elvis. This was released in 2012 and was from their second season. Peter and Lloyd write most if not all of the material themselves, but they also frequently have guests appear in the videos, such as Snoop Dog as Moses, Jenna Marbles as Eve, Weird Al Yankovic as Sir Isaac Newton, and T-Pain as Stevie Wonder. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Rap_Battles_of_History, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Epic_Rap_Battles_of_History_episodes
This is one of ERB's best
This is one is so easy, the King, Elvis.
Television - Marquee Moon
I haven't laughed so hard in awhile 🤣, thank you
If you are gonna do all of them, and I hope you do, save a couple of good ones for the end and do the earlier ones soon otherwise may be left feeling disappointed!
Capt Kirk vs Columbus is good, and so is Dr. Seuss vs. Shakespeare.
SAVAGE Stuff !! Elvis Won 🏆 😎 ⚡TCB
I have never seen any of these..that was crazy..can’t wait to see another.
Oh, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy whatever ERB's you pick, LOL! So sharp and tight and fun. Vicious sometime yes, but always on point. ;o)
Indeed
Loved the reaction!!! 😂
Loved this
great how these all leave you speechless for a moment after, there is No limits when it comes to ERB. Fun rewatching these. There are sooo many. Adam vs Eve is a short but funny one.
Thank you for this. 😅😅😅😅🎶🎶
