      its actually not true though. He says he is as dope as 2 rappers, that means Albert E(instein)=Mc(rapper) ×2
      Mc squared is a whole another thing, so, unless Mc equals 2, Albert E can't be as dope as 2 rappers and also equal MC squared(it works with 2 because 2 squared is four, and 2×2 also equals 4)

      I know this is a bit late, but Genghis Khan and the Easter Bunny are both symbols of virility in their own ways. I hope I don't have to explain the bunny, but there's a persistent (and almost certainly false) myth that a huge portion of people alive today are descended from Genghis. It goes back to his own bragging about how many women he'd gotten pregnant.

    I would honestly love to see a part two to the battle between Gandalf and Dumbledore. After all the shit that went down with _The Hobbit_ trilogy (like how it was written to be a duology but the studio wanted it to be a trilogy so they could get more money out of it all, which severely screwed up the pacing) and now the shit going on with the new _FBaWtFT_ movies (like how Dumbledore isn't even going to have his romantic relationship with Grindelwald depicted because Rowling said not to, despite her *insistence* that he's gay, plus all the McGonagall math mix-up), I think they could come up with some really sick bars.

    "Im as dope as two rappers you better be scared cause that means Albert E equals M C squared" is easily the best line in any of these songs over any of the seasons. And the fact that Hawking was auto-tuned was a pretty classy way to represent such a horrid condition he had. It may be the 4th one made and some have MUCH better tracks (Jefferson vs Douglass may have the best one) but imo it's the most creative and the best one for the reasons I listed above and more.
    Also, ya'll need to continue Star Wars vs WWII. I'd LOVE to see Princess Leia vs Anne Frank.

      elise was one of beethoven's students
      he composed the piece "für elise" for her since he was in love with her
      she wasnt that good at playing the piano so he tried to make it simple so that even she could play it
      then he found out she was engaged with another man and decided to make the music really fucking hard to play just to fuck with her
