Yes the floorboard was one of the Edgar Allan Poe's stories The Tell-Tale Heart. Give me the story about a man who killed an old man for his deformed eye. Then he cut him up and put him under the floorboard and all the sudden he starts hearing a heartbeat under the floorboards. In The Raven the bird always keeps repeating Nevermore is because the guy is morning of his dead wife and wondering what he ever going to see her again in the bird always keep saying Nevermore.
Without Poe there is no Lovecraft. Without Lovecraft there is no King. Without King horror would be so different. Poe is the grandfather of horror. Truely Poe’s Poems Pwn Posers
Fun fact: Stephen King commented on this battle stating that Poe beat him solidly. On Twitter or something I believe. I'm still of the opinion that King won mostly due to the final line of the battle 🤣
@Scott Allen Stephen King dropped so many amazing bars this battle, Poe just didnt get enough content in his lines. Also Zach is one of my favorite ERB players
@@Tazzasaurus1 I'd also say that it's often a bit of showing humbleness and "being put against an old master" in cases like VS Poe, which causes some of the still living competitors to declare their opponent the winner. Going in and saying "Yeah, I won that!" could cause them to be perceived a bit egomaniac etc. Iirc Gordon Ramsay did that for his duel vs Child though. And imho i think he won. Child was mainly "YOu're an angry manchild!" While Ramsay was mainly going on about her cooking. Considering it's two chefs going at it, the latter holds more weight for me. And while Gordon doesn't dispute any part of her insults on his character, SHE also doesn't dispute ANY of his attacks against her being "A glorified Translator" and how she's only reurgitating french recipes.
King knows not to diss Poe, but definitely in this battle I feel King won.... I absolutely loved LOVED Poe's verses, but King's verses were very versatile with using his works and stuff.. Idk it was a hard one as I am a Poe biased, but King's verses were very intelligentially put together. Ugh both were, but Kings were better.
@@amberhoward7807 yeah, as I said: imho a good number of the people that have been put into a match and say "opponent won!" did it because of (trying to show) humbleness, and potentially the respect they have for an opponent, especially when said opponent is ini the same Genre. Admittedly though, ERB sometimes has issues with what feels like preferential writing. I think Hulk VS Jenner felt that way for many. Then there's Bats VS Sherlock, where Bats is a parody of the College humour parody and as such gets absolutely trounced...
My favorite line in this is "In eight bars I can write a whole best sellers" implying his rap game is that tight, but also a little dig at himself since he used to be a raging, bar-hopping alcoholic.
More specifically, a trochee is a stressed syllable followed by an instead syllable. It would be more accurate to say that his first 4 lines were trochaic (every couplet was a trochee) Interestingly, the singular for iambic poetry is an iamb. It's the exact opposite, a short syllable followed by a long. Most English sentences are structured iambic.
@@theevilgood And when Watsky played Shakespeare in an earlier ERB, he goes "I hath been iambic on that ass." Does the exact same thing, performs the meter then names it in his verse.
Poe married his cousin to help her financially he never had intercourse with her standards were much different as women were still mostly considered property in Poe's time
So In the first few second of Poe’s verse, the poem structure he is using is a trochee, so his line saying he’ll choke him with a trochee is kind of a double entendre and also a nod to the style of writing that Poe used.
Poe's second fast-rap section (after he mentions King's cameos) is in reference to one of his short stories, "The Tell-Tale Heart". In that story, the narrator is a murderer that kills his neighbor and cuts him up into tiny pieces so he can hide the body and appear innocent, which Poe is also saying he'll do to King.
Rage, Misery, Running Man, Cujo, Tommyknockers, and The Stand are all Steven King books. Also Castle Rock, Maine is the setting for several of King's works.
This rap contains one of the most convoluted lines, when Stephen King talks about his "big Dick bibliography", because one of his pen names was Richard.
The best way to choose an ERB is to pick out any with characters/figures you know well. I'm a book nerd, so this one is great for me (I even grew up on Beverly Cleary.) "Quoth the raven, 'Never more,'" repeats in the poem The Raven. There are lots of titles of their books through this.
There's a non-ERB collab with Watsky and Zach Sherwin called "No E" that's really great wordplay, worth a react. The "Nevermore" thing is from one of Poe's most famous poems, "The Raven."
You should check Dan Bull and The Stupendium - both make raps/songs about games. But just the lyrics they write and the words they use is amazing. They also do collaborations frequently and they are all amazing. If you like word-play - nobody on this platform is better than those 2. Check Faith vs Order from them. Little Nightmares 2. From the Stupendium - Control, Death and Taxes, Cyberpunk are all amazing (all his songs are). It's just the level of writing is so far above anything else I have heard here. From Dan Bull - Civilization, Bioshock Infinite, Senua Sacrifice etc.
Stephen King had a whole verse just name dropping his book titles. With the whole story Edgar Allen Poe might not have actually perving but in battle rap your opponent can frame that in the worst way possible, which is what Stephen King did. Poe writing about sticking someone in a floor board was from one of Poe's stories. That last line with King was a flip of one of Poe's widely popular the Raven story. The Raven kept saying "nevermore" throughout that story driving the author character mad in that story. It was just a flip off that story Poe wrote and it was King who flipped it.
Poe will always be scarier than King. Here's a few fun facts why I think that. 1) Right before Edgar Allen Poe died, he was found super intoxicated on something (likely opium and/or alcohol), but in someone else's clothes. We still to this day don't know who's clothes Poe was wearing. 2) Before he died, Poe, on his deathbed, said "God help this poor soul". The creepiest part is that shortly after he died, all medical records and even his certificate of death just vanished from existence. We still to this day can't find anything about it. It was just probable that he died of complications with drug effects and alcohol, but it's so strange that we don't even have any real copies of his medical records or death certificate. 3) Up until like 2009, every day on January 19th, his birthday, 3 roses and a bottle of his favorite cognac were left on his gravestone. Nobody actually knows who did it, and nobody ever saw who kept leaving those things on his grave. One person claimed he did, but his story doesn't add up and likely just sounds like trying to get clout for the church... Also, King can't talk too much about Poe's romance with his little cousin when he had that 13-year old orgy scene in IT.
Kings house, your in my house now is basically what he was saying because his last name is king. Telltale heart, buy was buried under the floorboards, and the victims heart beating drove him mad.
@@carlgroen3563 In order: Rage, Misery, Running Man, Shining, Cujo, The Tommyknockers, The Stand (when he says till you can't Stand up, the S is capitalized which tells us it's a reference to his book)
Yeah. So in The Raven, the narrator sees a raven at his window who keeps saying the word "nevermore." And the whole poem/story is the narrator (who lost someone, and is depressed) spiralling into a breakdown talking to this raven, believing it to be some harbinger because he keeps interpreting what its saying as confirming his already spiraling and frayed worries and dread. Even though all its doing is repeating the phrase "nevermore," that it probably just picked up from somewhere. Hence the squawky way he says "nevermore," at the end. Its actually a fantastic poem, one of my favorites of all time. Worth a read
"The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe is where the Nevermore comes from... Now if you really want to wow your mind. Geoff Castellucci has read "The Raven" and that amazing bass reading is available to listen to on his channel. :D
I like that you actually take the time to do research on the characters before reacting to the erb. a lot of other reactors will just start their videos by saying "i dont know much about [person] so i might be bias" or "i dont know [person] so sorry if bars go over my head" its like really? google for a few minutes and learn the character so the bars will make sense.. so thank you for that
Misery is a novel about a woman whose favorite author gets into an accident right near her house and she tries to nurse him back to health. But then she's obsessed with having him around and so she tortures him so that she can keep taking care of him. There's actually a famous scene where she sticks a brick between the dude's legs and then smacks his ankle with a hammer, knocking it to the side and shattering the bone against the brick. Running man was, I think, the one where people sign up for a marathon. But the people have to run/walk/crawl until they literally drop dead. And the last person left alive wins some unimaginable sum of money.
In the King's house I've always felt is a reference to the fact that most of King's books are set in fictional parts of New England. Castle Rock is one of those places. He's saying, you've stepped into my domain now.
I would say the line about 'in the kings house' is to his name (Steven King) and that he is the ruler of the genre, and also leads to the next bar 'Now watch the Castle Rock', because kings historically live in castles.
King's first set is chucked full of title references - some written as King and some under his pseudonym: Richard Bachman. Castle Rock is a setting for some of King's books. The whole "I'mma hit him, cut him into itty-bitty bits, and I'mma stick em in the floorboards!" is a Tell-tale Heart reference.
i love your videos bro. and i would love to sit down and have an actual conversation with you about this particular topic of stephen king and edgar allen poe cause edgars second verse was a small diss, Stephen mentioned his book and film Misery but edgar was actually miserable. saying that stephen is just pretending to be like that cause he enjoys it as a hobby, edgar does it because its his outlet for what is really going on in his life
if you were a simpsons fan you might have heard Poe's work before. in one of the early treehouse of horror eps they dedicated a segment to telling the entire Raven poem. read by James Earl Jones (whom you can also listen to just him reading it on youtube. not a long video). Homer plays the main character being harassed by a raven that looks like bart (who just says nevermore).
Kings house/castle rock bar. The Kings house was a reference to the fact this is Stephen King's house. He's running the show and a kings house is a castle. So watch the castle rock is a double bar. A reference to his show and to basically say we about to whoop ass
So the floorboards line is a reference to The Tell-Tale Heart, which is one of Poe's short stories and possibly one of his best stories. I'd recommend you read it, it's really good and you can probably get through it in half an hour.
I've been watching a lot of your reactions the past few days. I love how you sometimes overthink things. Like the "King's house" which is literally just because it's Stephen King who's saying it.
Castle Rock is in that particular corner of Maine, Castle County.Where things just seem awry, lest you require needful things.Christine can help you , She will not let you down. Should you need any further Services, I'm sure cujo find them in Lisbon Falls or Derry.
I remember, years and years ago, Stephen King talked about how he knew he was messed up in the head. He said he couldn't write as many horror books if he'd been normal. His prime example was talking about how, if he was writing a scene about a falling elevator, he had no qualms about putting a little old lady in the bottom of the shaft to get splattered. It went something like: "I'm not normal. I can't be. You don't write the novels I write if you're normal. There is something wrong with me."
when you're googling references, try googling the name of the person and then the word you're looking for, to connect them to eachother. like "stephen king rage" "stephen king castle rock", that way google knows what you are trying to search for instead of trying to find any website with those words in it. :) if you only search for a single word, google wont know that you are trying to find info connected to a single person.
when ever doing any research on stephen king you got to remember 1 thing. He released a lot of books and such under a pen name. So some of the things you couldnt find could be based on the fact it was under his other name.
Nevermore was about Edgar Allan The Raven it's a good read and it's not terribly long I recommend you give it a shot you might not get some of the words because people who wrote anything like him back then used very prolific and very seldom used modern language
This is hard battle to call if you don't know their work. Literally every line has a reference to something or building to it. Its a little too much to go ever every single one. Rage- and also Misery are both books of his, running man,cujo, castle rock, Tommy knockers was a movie by him dont know about a book?
1st marriage was to help with medical issues 2nd marriage was his first cousin as well and that wasnt for medical reasons but ended bc of medical reasons
Also,Watsky is an author too!✌fantastic lyrical genius!!you should stick with ERB with people you are already familiar with,it will greatly help them make more sense and easier to understand the Punches. Just a thought.thanks for checking it out.
My ERB reaction playlist!

It's also a reference to how fast he puts out books.
It's also a reference to when he wrote a best seller while in prison (hence, 8 bars)
It’s also cool cuz he only raps for 8 bars of music after that line
Fun fact, a trochee is a method of poetry...the very one he used on the first 4 lines.

While Shawshank and Green Mile were both short stories they are some of King's best work. They were both adapted into award winning movies.
Green Mile wasn't a short story, it was a full novel, originally released in six serialized parts.
Green Mile is one of my favorite movies. Duncan nailed that role

Castle Rock is actually the name of his production company. The logo for it pops up in all his movies

The drugs and alcohol played a big part. It's a sad thing to say, but he wrote better when he was wasted.
The same actually goes for most artists.

Have you seen Alice Tango by Chi Chi? Its 3 year old song IMO its actually one of the best songs she has made.
Nevermore was about Edgar Allan The Raven it's a good read and it's not terribly long I recommend you give it a shot you might not get some of the words because people who wrote anything like him back then used very prolific and very seldom used modern language
You can hear a bit from Raven, read by Geoff Castelluccis YT.
This is hard battle to call if you don't know their work. Literally every line has a reference to something or building to it. Its a little too much to go ever every single one. Rage- and also Misery are both books of his, running man,cujo, castle rock, Tommy knockers was a movie by him dont know about a book?
1st marriage was to help with medical issues 2nd marriage was his first cousin as well and that wasnt for medical reasons but ended bc of medical reasons
Quoth the raven. “Nevermore.”
Quote the Raven" never more"
FYI, you should watch the movie version of Misery.
The erb wiki has all the references from each bar, it’d probably be faster if you had that ready.
Also,Watsky is an author too!✌fantastic lyrical genius!!you should stick with ERB with people you are already familiar with,it will greatly help them make more sense and easier to understand the Punches. Just a thought.thanks for checking it out.
One of my favorites. Poe's flow though.
Watsky is an amazing rapper and lyrist.
I completely agree!!😄
King spitting out all of his books and movies....and I think Castle Rock is the one that produced his movies but not 100% sure on that.
Mostly Castle Rock produced or produces his films.
Love the green screen
I love the flow of both of them I would get stage fright to be honest
I like to go into the battles blind and use context clues to figure out the bars
Watsky is a beast, so good.
Rage and Misery were two separate books. King liked single-word titles.
Watsky played po... you should check him out. He is fire!
Could you do a reaction series of the TV show Grimm on Amazon Prime? Such a great and underrated show! I will say hands down one of my fav shows!
Read the raven poem ...worth a read
