Congratulations, you performed my favorite ERB intro ever. The whole flow from the intro up to "...squad of killers!" is so well written, but I particularly love the delivery of "revolting, heavy metal rebel blood spiller..." It's just strangely satisfying to the ear, you know?
Took me years to realize that when Che threw the cigar at Guy who batted it away with his hand, it landed on an explosive barrel to his right. The explosion that happened when Guy finished his turn at the end of the video was caused by it.
Che's got a very smooth style. It's one of the few rap battles where I felt even though Fawkes had some damn good disses, Che's flow and voice won him the battle.
Okay it's a bit hard to count them all, but I'm pretty sure that Guy Fawkes has 36 barrels of gunpowder behind, which if you don't know, is the exact number of barrels they discovered Guy with. Its always the tiny details with y'all I swear
@@DrakoWulf ngl upon further inspection, I don't know wtf was going on in my mind before but I definitely grossly miscounted to barrels. I feel like I might've counted extra barrels and assumed that there mighta been more
Really? I just sat here and said too myself even after all the time off they had they still nail that erb style and tone. Like the opposite of what you experienced..Huh
The actor playing Che deserves more praise, the way he lines up with the music, the way he moves his head around when he’s looking at guy, perfect, just perfect.
Guy Fawkes has such good takedown lines in this one. Obviously the capitalist one but also "This battle disproves your communist initiative / These rhyme skills are not evenly distributed." "I was tortured until I could hardly sign my name, and listening to you felt pretty much the same". Che arguably has better boasts but Guy has no chill.
@@thevideocommenter3061 Pig latin is a made up language that involves taking the first syllable of a word, moving it to the end, and adding an "ay" sound. Therefore: "chump" becomes "ump-chay" or "ump-che".

Best lines: Che's opening flow ending with "squad of killers" is probably the smoothest intro this series has ever seen. Fawkes' "Face it Ernesto, you're Castro but less so, He's Cuba Commander, you're more of the Destro." It's like butter to my ears.

People found similar humor in the occupy movement wearing the Guy Fawkes masks from the V movie. Every one of those sold WB got a cut. The harsh reality is anything that can have a symbolism against corporate greed, Will absolutely become merch made by it and sold to fuel it and we all know society will eat it up. And we are all guilty at some point of not noticing.

There are a lot of preconceived ideas, exaggerations at media (from left to right). Bad info to feed a determined agenda. We are doing bad here, but not THAT bad, but also not THAT good.
@@michaeldixie7535 the editors had to center his face and keep the camera properly rotated. So yes the actor may have moved as well, but its still primarily an editing feat.

Rob Rico absolutely killed it with the acting, the imitation of the Guerrilleiro Heroico was on point and pretend hanging was incredible, and all the general motions were amazing
I appreciated this because at first I thought this sounded like a lame battle, but I learned new things that whole time and that was dope. I'm listening.
Honestly I thought they really dropped the ball. Literally all they could say about Che was that his face is famous. Like there’s so much they could of said about his life, his work, and how Cuba changed after the revolution with healthcare and education. For god sakes they have a lung cancer vaccine now and all they could say is that he’s on a shirt...
ImperialPeasant Well to be honest they probably didn't want to go to deep into his life since it would lead to some pretty controversial topics like Che's habit of putting homosexuals into labor camps at gunpoint.
Bored Kangaroo Oh absolutely. There were many dark moments in his history and in the Cuban Revolution as a whole. But it’s still kind of a letdown to have the legacy of a flawed, complex revolutionary be reduced down in the same way as his image is in the West
1:34 This is a very nice attention to detail, Che throws his cigar at Guy, and he throws it away at the barrels. Laster at his last line, you can see the cigar igniting the barrels and blow the place up. Very good attention ot detail by ERB
I dunno. I think these two guys were murderous terrorists. One guy won a revolution the other clearly failed and didn't. If I was Guevarra it would piss me off my face was used to make ppl rich, but it would make me happy that after my death more of my enemies died. I'm looking at this from the eyes of a killer. Which he was. Yes he was an idealogue but he just enjoy killing. The revolution was an excuse. My opinion. Guy Fawkes failed and his face is also sold as Merch to pppl who don't even know his name.
"treat this battle like the gallows; take another dive" is a crazy line if you take into consideration that when guy fawkes was being lead to the gallows he jumped off of the scaffolding before he could be hung and broke his neck, and "take another dive" is to intentionally lose a competition
Not quite, he had the noose round his neck, and insisted on climbing to highest point, but he jumped early, from the highest point, before the ladder was taken away, meaning the force of the jolt meant his neck broke and he was killed instantly..he did it on purpose to avoid the rest of the horror of being drawn and quartered while still alive… Had he just jumped off the scaffold without the noose round his neck, he might have broken an arm or leg, but it wouldn’t have killed him…
I completely agree. Best part of that line, for me, is that the subtitles spell "cabrón" exactly as it is spelled in Latin America! That is some serious dedication right there.
RamonSon Agudelo ahhh, lo siento para mis errores. Yo olvido esté aspecto cuando yo escribí mi texto. Tú tienes uno punto muy válido. Muchas gracias para la corrección de mi error. No tengo fluido completo en español: mi lengua materna es inglés (soy de Australia), y todavía viajó solo a México y Belise en América Latina en mi vida (soy arqueólogo, y mi especialidad son los célticos y los vikingos), así que yo sé muy poco en los sujetos de la historia y cultura de los mejores países en América Latina.
"Treat this battle like the gallows and take another dive", combined with Guevara's subtle swinging, is probably the single most haunting line I've heard from ERB. Big fan
Which is actually historically accurate. Fawkes jumped off the gallows and died from a broken neck. Even after that, they still emasculated and cut him up.
I really hope the guy who played Che comes back for more battles. He's got a good voice, and the way he really chews up his words in the lip synch (I'm the hardest Marxist ever graced a banknote for example) is really well done and kinda sexy tbh.
One note: shout out to the editors. I love the shot where Che mentions the gallows and hangs himself and the edit makes him dangle. I don't know why - but that's solid work. Back to work, ERB minions!
Guy Fawkes Lilnes on Guevara being capitalized, rhyme skills, and pig latin were all so clever and layered. I gotta give this one to Guy Fawkes. However I do like how confident and smooth Che was
Oh, this is one for the (ERB of) History Books. Dozens of great lines on both sides, great visuals in the background, great beat, and I learned a thing or two. You guy's still got it.
Damn, the actor for Che did great on the last line “take another dive”. Like, everything was perfect about that, even the moves he did, the way he sorta jumped up, and even the smirk. That went along great with the way he said it. And plus, he’s suuuuuuuper smooth.
I'm stunned by these 2 seconds too, but I'm pretty sure the swinging motion comes from amazing editing in post-production and not from the actor. Either way, fantastic.
I can't get over how cool the "take another dive" bit looks with che swaying back and forth from the "noose" He just transitions into it so smoothly and it looks so good. Satisfying as fuck honestly
@@unknown32523 It's a multi-part joke. First, if you take the word 'chump,' an insult in itself, and turn it into Pig Latin, it actually becomes appended to Che's name. Then it uses Pig Latin to bridge to the Bay of Pigs, a horribly botched invasion of Cuba by Cuban exiles backed by the US. Fawkes at once calls him a chump and an unmitigated failure, all while referring to him by name.
@@DeltaPhi I had to look up what Pig Latin was bc I had thought it was just a reference to the Bay of Pigs hahahahah I guess this is what happens when you don't grow up in an English speaking country 😅 Also, I thought Latin here was intended as "hispanic" >\\\
1:01 For those who don't understand the "I could hardly sign my name". the king had him tortured and forced him to sign his name before he was tortured (so it was a neat signature) and then when they finished torturing him, his name was scruffy from the torture
Please find any excuse to cast Rob Rico again, he killed it.

If I was Guevarra it would piss me off my face was used to make ppl rich, but it would make me happy that after my death more of my enemies died. I'm looking at this from the eyes of a killer. Which he was. Yes he was an idealogue but he just enjoy killing. The revolution was an excuse. My opinion. Guy Fawkes failed and his face is also sold as Merch to pppl who don't even know his name.

amazing. it seems like ERB deserve a thumbs up even before the start of any video.
I must be one of the very few people who doesn't care who won or lost. I listen. I like. I subscribe.
Nice
Excellent beat, and even better lines. The battles with historical figures are the best. This is definitely one of the most even battles so far
This is the first battle for me thats a tie
That's a cool profile picture Fairfield
Fawkes had no chance. No one gets near Che, ask Batista.
John Yassarian Except for Guy, who just edged him out with his Castro comparison diss. That was just enough to give Fawkes the win for NicePeter.
@@sportballotaku2139 I have to give it to Che he had a slight edge over Guy, its a close one tho
"treat this battle like the gallows; take another dive" is a crazy line if you take into consideration that when guy fawkes was being lead to the gallows he jumped off of the scaffolding before he could be hung and broke his neck, and "take another dive" is to intentionally lose a competition
Wow, great analysis
Not quite, he had the noose round his neck, and insisted on climbing to highest point, but he jumped early, from the highest point, before the ladder was taken away, meaning the force of the jolt meant his neck broke and he was killed instantly..he did it on purpose to avoid the rest of the horror of being drawn and quartered while still alive…
Had he just jumped off the scaffold without the noose round his neck, he might have broken an arm or leg, but it wouldn’t have killed him…
i saw this comment right as that line played
Guy did the right thing. Breaking your neck is much more painless than having your intestines ripped out while your still alive
i read the first 9 words as it said it
Che's first verse is ABSOLUTELY the most overlooked one in all of ERB.
Maybe not the MOST overlooked one, but one of the more overlooked ones for aure
I like the fact that Guevara is the one in Black and White despite the fact that Fawkes was born hundreds of years before him
Exactly before camera's
It's based on the most famous photo of him
@@zlosliwa_menda that comment was for you btw 👍
Like Marilyn Monroe vs Cleopatra 😂
@@zlosliwa_menda chill it’s just an observation
I gotta admit, this has the best beat ever. And the guy who played Che has a smooth voice
Che's intro hooks me in 100% immediately.

I completely agree. Best part of that line, for me, is that the subtitles spell "cabrón" exactly as it is spelled in Latin America! That is some serious dedication right there.

Welcome back guys
Can we just take a sec to appreciate how on point the casting is for every ERB? Like damn.
the casting remains the same more most of the erbs my amn
they made quite a number of connections in their early years that spread, it made such things alot easier the longer those connections grew

This new beat mixed with the smooth flow of Che and the proper retort of fawkes is perfect
thank u for so many likes
Sounds like something you hear in the jungle.
Very close call, Che had insanely good flow with the opening, plus props to the actor.
But the "evenly distributed" line took it
They must have thought "Damn, we're really good" when they wrote that one.

Yep! I'd like to listen to a full song that uses this beat.
@ good news then
D.P. Mario No
The beat is someone else’s... they didn’t make it themselves.
@@BenDover-iw4yv Yeah youre right i made it ^^ Glad yall liked it
"Treat this battle like the gallows and take another dive", combined with Guevara's subtle swinging, is probably the single most haunting line I've heard from ERB. Big fan
Which is actually historically accurate. Fawkes jumped off the gallows and died from a broken neck. Even after that, they still emasculated and cut him up.
True , haunting and awsome
Very true, that gallows swing move was well done
My favorite scene
I really hope the guy who played Che comes back for more battles. He's got a good voice, and the way he really chews up his words in the lip synch (I'm the hardest Marxist ever graced a banknote for example) is really well done and kinda sexy tbh.
It's the 5th of November, 'cause Guy's on fire!

There's not such thing as "father of capitalism", capitalism wasn't created.

One note: shout out to the editors. I love the shot where Che mentions the gallows and hangs himself and the edit makes him dangle. I don't know why - but that's solid work. Back to work, ERB minions!
ikr?
though probably he did it without vfx
Another good edit is that barrels slowly filled up the tunnel Guy was in.
Pretty sure that he did that himself, no effrcts
@@MegaSim3 True, but if I am correct, they still had to edit it in.
Guy Fawkes Lilnes on Guevara being capitalized, rhyme skills, and pig latin were all so clever and layered. I gotta give this one to Guy Fawkes. However I do like how confident and smooth Che was
Honestly, I can't call it, they both did damage, it was pretty evenly matched.
You should include a poll on the information tab so people can vote who do they think won.

It is the fifth of November, and this track is still on fire!!!
The editing with Che during the line, “take another dive,” was incredibly well done. It’s small touches like that that make me love this channel.
It blew my mind when I first saw it, like how they do that??
DUDE, i felt the same way. That was an pretty fucking good killer line, and with that edition... It is just perfect
Dan Lemongton i liked the tobacco thrown to Fawkes then ended up on the barrels which blew up after the verse haha

@@ERB good one ,u guy should continue like that
This is very true
Exactly
Damn, the actor for Che did great on the last line “take another dive”. Like, everything was perfect about that, even the moves he did, the way he sorta jumped up, and even the smirk. That went along great with the way he said it. And plus, he’s suuuuuuuper smooth.
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!
He looks like Salina gomez
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO PAYS AS MUCH ATTENTION TO DETAILS AS ME, I'M NOT CRAZY!!!
Absolutely! I loved that part!
He's super hot, too. ❤
I'm stunned by these 2 seconds too, but I'm pretty sure the swinging motion comes from amazing editing in post-production and not from the actor. Either way, fantastic.
1:10 “He’s Cuba Commander, you’re more of the Destro” 🤯🤯🤯😱🤣 That burn COOKS multilevel
"Face it, Ernesto, you're Castro but less so. He's Cuba Commander, you're more of the Destro." I lost it.

I can't get over how cool the "take another dive" bit looks with che swaying back and forth from the "noose"
He just transitions into it so smoothly and it looks so good. Satisfying as fuck honestly
Hey, can we appreciate how smart the "you're an ump-che, that's Bay of Pigs Latin" line is? I DREAM of being able to craft wordplay that slick.
Hey, are we related or something?
i don't get that line, can you explain pls?
@@unknown32523 It's a multi-part joke.
First, if you take the word 'chump,' an insult in itself, and turn it into Pig Latin, it actually becomes appended to Che's name. Then it uses Pig Latin to bridge to the Bay of Pigs, a horribly botched invasion of Cuba by Cuban exiles backed by the US. Fawkes at once calls him a chump and an unmitigated failure, all while referring to him by name.
@@DeltaPhi I had to look up what Pig Latin was bc I had thought it was just a reference to the Bay of Pigs hahahahah I guess this is what happens when you don't grow up in an English speaking country 😅
Also, I thought Latin here was intended as "hispanic" >\\\
That line makes me cream

"face it Ernesto, you're Castro but less so"
The rhyme scheme and beat synced up so well.
I know right!!!!
Especially the “Your face has been weakend cheapend besmerched being plastered on posters coasters and shirts” line was altogether just brilliant
I love that line so much lol
1:01 For those who don't understand the "I could hardly sign my name". the king had him tortured and forced him to sign his name before he was tortured (so it was a neat signature) and then when they finished torturing him, his name was scruffy from the torture
