Actually, when he refers to "the real Martin Luther" after saying "leave your thoughts on the door" he's referring to the Martin Luther that was responsible for the Ninety-five theses where he nailed a list of injustices done by the church onto the church doors.
"I fought the caste system but you still cannot touch this" is maybe the most overlooked line in ERBs history. Or at least I rarely see any reactor react to it
@@Summzit so in idea they had a very "set in stone" kind of system. You could compare it a bit to the feudal system where you have different classes however in india it is/was more detailed having more classes (or castes in this case). One for priests, one which allows you to become a warrior (in ancient times) and one of them were the so called "untouchables". They were not allowed to take any higher level job and also not to marry in any of the other classes. I believe it was the biggest class of all but without much perspective. I don't know in which amount Gandhi fought for them but taking it from that sentence he wanted to liberate them from at least some of the rules that were limiting them. So he fought for the indians to be not "untouchable" anymore but Martin Luther is still unable to "catch up/touch him" ;)
I love how Martin Luther REALLY looked like the real Martin Luther. The shaking of the fist, the same camera angle, the black and white film. Who ever did the physical sets, directing, and filming did a really good job.
1:47 Martin Luther King name change: That is not what the line is referencing.... - Martin Luther was a 15th century German monk and professor of theology.... He opposed the Catholic practice of indulgences (paying the church for passage into heaven) and sparked the protestant reformation.... ERB Gandhi: "Leave your thoughts on the door, like the real Marin Luther..." - He wrote 'Ninety-five Thesis' and nailed it to the door of All Saints' Church in Wittenberg... Also... The name MLK was born with is Micheal King....
You earned a subscriber. The fact you do historical research when watching these gets a major thumbs up. I love these videos cause silly as they are at times, many of them teach a bit of history in a fun way. Keep it up.
Unpopular fact: Gandhiji used to call black africans 'kaffirs' (equivalent of the modern day 'N' word) during his time in South Africa. Calling Indians and the Whites brothers due to their Aryan origins, he actually never cared about racism against the blacks and actually advocated that it continue.
I have come to watch & enjoy some of your ERB-reactions by now. It is nice to watch someone's reactions to those battle, who is also literate about facts to some of the combatants. And you even google things if there is something unclear to you. Thank you, you are very entertaining. Greetings from Germany
Dude you are very quick witted and intelligent. Holy shit, started watching your reactions to ERB today and already I've learned so many things I didn't know or catch before. Snd I've watched the actual battles many times as well as many, many other reactors. Yet I am learning so much from you just in the last hour. Holy fuck dude! And you catch so many things too! Not everything, obviously, because no one catches everything. But so far I'm gonna have to say you've caught so much more than the vast majority of other rectors I've watched.
1:48 "Leave your thoughts on the door like the real Martin Luther" He's not talking about MLK's father. He's talking about Martin Luther from 16th century Germany who posted his 95 theses on the door of a church beginning the entire Protestant Reformation. Martin Luther -- the Lutheran Church follows him. Because of him we have Anglicans, Baptists, Episcopalians, Methodists, Calvinists etc etc etc...
The real Martin Luther was one of the most important people in all of history. His 95 Thesis was the catalyst of the protestant reformation which recovered the gospel which had been buried beneath the ritual of Roman Catholicism.
His original name was Michael, however after his father had taken a trip to Europe, he learned about Martin Luther and converted to Protestantism (more specifically, Lutherism). After his trip, he came back home and legally changed both his and his son’s name to Martin Luther as tribute to the man who founded the religion that they were now following.
Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr.; January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968)King was born Michael King Jr. on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, the second of three children to the Reverend Michael King Sr. and Alberta King (née Williams).[2][3][4] King's mother named him Michael, which was entered onto the birth certificate by the attending physician.[5] King Sr. stated that "Michael" was a mistake by the physician. I looked it up so no one else had too.
Along with the Martin Luther line( that someone else pointed out already in comments) another one that reactors miss is "I broke the caste system but you still cannot touch this" is referring to the untouchables in ancient Indian society when the caste system was still going strong.
Martin Luther King Jr. Birth name was Michael King Jr. his dad was Michael King Sr. but did change both his and his sons name to Martin Luther King Sr. & Martin Luther King Jr.
the Martin Luther line was referring to the man named Martin Luther who stamped the 95 thesis on the front door of the catholic church, basically complaints about the church back then, that’s why he said leave your thoughts on the door like the real Martin Luther
Fun fact in relation to your quote "That might be atomic bomb" for Gandhi; in the computer game series Civilization, Gandhi is infamous for declaring war and using nukes, lol.
I had to go find it myself... MLK jrs birth name was Michael... His dad went to Germany and got inspired by Martin Luther reform so therefore that's why he changed both their names
ghandis first line "i fought the cast system but you still cannot touch this" is a play on the lowest cast in the indian society, "the untouchables" and of course MC Hammers song "can't touch this". ghandi wanted to improve the life of these "untouchable" people, who were born into mandatory poverty and basically having no rights nor way to work their way out of their tough lives.
Also just looked it up I know ppl explained the Martin Luther thing a few times but his father did change his name cause he was inspired by my boy the og Martin Luther
Uuh no...the real Martin Luther was a 15th century (?) monk who basically started Protestant. He nailed his grievances to the door of his local (Catholic) church. Listening to some of his speeches though, MLK would have been an awesome rapper. Oh, and Gandhi wasn't even c;lose to celibate...

Jtl012 Reactions thanks I didn’t know that
The First Martin Luther also started the Protestant Reformation
I knew that but didn't know MLK's birth name wasn't Martin.
@@kck9742 it was Micheal
Jtl012 Reactions I was gonna post this but seems like you’re already on it
the real Martin Luther refers to the founder of the Lutheran Church, also named Martin Luther who broke from the catholic church.
Them 99 Theses
@Just Jeff
at first he simply was kicked off...
then his rich friends protested....
@Just Jeff He did it to whole Europe
@@keithrichards6217 I know it's been a year, but it was 95 Theses :D
Also 'leave your thoughts on the door'. Nice line.
when you caught that Hose line I was dying lol
actually its the first time I caught it after watching the battle for SO many times I finally got it shortly before he did haha
Old line about comedy: The audience loves the slow thinker. The whole realization of "Wait...wait a minute..." makes it golden.
That's my favorite part of this rap and i love to see if people catch it or not.
It made me think of 22 Jump street when Channing Tatum's character realized John Hill fucked the captain's daughter.
@@colt2488 that's a great scene
Of course Ghandi dropped a bomb on him. Ever played a Civilisation game?
Ghandi was ALWAYS the first to nuke someone. lol
Bingo. I hate Ghandi in Civ.
It's Gandhi not Ghandi
@@xifer7367 don't worry, you call chingis khan as Genghis khan
@@nuclearnadal7993 where
You got the best reaction..😄😄
Love from India..🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Thanks fam
“I fought the caste system, but you still can not touch this”... this is referring to the untouchables in the caste system. Slept on, you missed it
Yeah the Untouchability system where high caste people dont touch lower caste people thats a lowkey bar
"I fought the caste system but you still cannot touch this" is maybe the most overlooked line in ERBs history. Or at least I rarely see any reactor react to it
Paul Mutzel I know exactly what you mean
Can you explain in detail?

@@6666Imperator Thanks. I get it now
The line explains itself, no real double meaning behind it or anything.
MLK played his strengths well, the oratory skills, the I have a dream callout, the street cred line, but yeah Gandhi took it on the offensive and won.
I wonder they didnt used the fact that biggest advocate of peace didnt got peace Nobel. Would have given Gandhi some fire lines with that .
I love how Martin Luther REALLY looked like the real Martin Luther. The shaking of the fist, the same camera angle, the black and white film. Who ever did the physical sets, directing, and filming did a really good job.
Martni Luther Jr.*
@@kaiserwilhelmiii8373 KING! Come on, don't forget the man's last name. MLK Jr.
@@kaiserwilhelmiii8373 Martin*
ERB's cast work hard every time to really capture the character they are representing.
1:47
Martin Luther King name change:
That is not what the line is referencing....
- Martin Luther was a 15th century German monk and professor of theology....
He opposed the Catholic practice of indulgences (paying the church for passage into heaven)
and sparked the protestant reformation....
ERB Gandhi: "Leave your thoughts on the door, like the real Marin Luther..."
- He wrote 'Ninety-five Thesis' and nailed it to the door of All Saints' Church in Wittenberg...
Also... The name MLK was born with is Micheal King....
People always forget the Naan violence, naan is indian flatbread,
"flatten you like bread, naan violence"
I actually caught that one lol
Nah, got it right away. Its a cute play on words, but not really a punch.
I love that line.
Easily one of my favorite rap battles! I’m so glad you did this one. Also you’re a boss keep it up!!
Thanks fam I will for sure
4:08 I love that we can just see the wheels turning here.
He’s just like *Processing...*
@@swordsmancs, practically hearing the old internet modem dial up tone there didn't you or was it the old Windows start up music 😋
His father’s birth name was Michael King. Also, great reaction! I love Key and Peele 😄
The moment you caught the hose line was EPIC.
Yes. He was NOT reaching. That's exactly what that line was aiming for.
I love the "Flatten your style like bread. Naan Violence" line. Foodies know that Naan bread is a style of flat bread that is big in India.
Key and Peele have been great each time they've came on ERB
Well we all now Ghandi likes his nukes and he did not disappoint at the end doping one :D
civilization reference.... love it
Ower8x *Gandhi
I didn't realize until recently that this was Key and Peele. Love these guys! Keegan Key can play anything.
Only one line has bothered me all this time, "like the h in your name, you ought to remain silent". Cause it wasn't silent. The h is pronounced.

Doc Rich, that was quite fascinating. Especially when we got to know the information about the civil rights movement. Keep it up, man.
finally! My notifications didn't betray me and I got it early!
You and Mathews Family have some of the best reactions. You dissect the raps so nicely. Good job.
Thanks!
Also the original Martin Luther started the protestant reformation in Europe and formed the Lutheran church.
You didn’t mention that they are Key & Peele
Probably didn't realize, considering he also doesn't seem to know who Martin Luther was.
When Doc Rich said ‘the fat guy’ I bet Peele wouldn’t liked it 😂😂
DUDE! We got it! Play the video!
1:48 "Leave your thoughts on the door like the real Martin Luther"

"Naan" (Violence) is a Staple Indian bread. Did ya notice that pun?
The Martin Luther reference is to the Protestant Reformation and the 95 theses that he nailed to a church door.
The real Martin Luther was one of the most important people in all of history. His 95 Thesis was the catalyst of the protestant reformation which recovered the gospel which had been buried beneath the ritual of Roman Catholicism.
And the truth is, if Gandhi and Martin ever met in past, they would have love each other.
Damn nobody mentioned that "like the h in your name you OUGHT to remain silence." That shit is fire

The real marting luther was a guy who made a lot of good to europe in 1800s
5:18 when he noticed that I literally died laughing 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Martin Luther King Jr. Birth name was Michael King Jr. his dad was Michael King Sr. but did change both his and his sons name to Martin Luther King Sr. & Martin Luther King Jr.
One of the best battles 😁👏🏼😁 keep on reacting to ERB, they have tons of amazing battles. And yes 😂😂 that ending line was what got me too 😂👏🏼😂
the Martin Luther line was referring to the man named Martin Luther who stamped the 95 thesis on the front door of the catholic church, basically complaints about the church back then, that’s why he said leave your thoughts on the door like the real Martin Luther
he didnt just get the indian accent, but also the indian head wobble......
"I am celibate because I don't give a fuck." That line really stuck with me after I got it.
0:52 ‘He is got the Indian accent too?’ Yep,Key can play anything 👍
Fun fact in relation to your quote "That might be atomic bomb" for Gandhi; in the computer game series Civilization, Gandhi is infamous for declaring war and using nukes, lol.
The last line from Gandhi is the EPIC fire line! Doc Rich over there looking like: "Oh no he DIDN"T!"
Me:" Oh YES he did!!"lmao
"Naan violence" Where Naan is Indian bread
I had to go find it myself... MLK jrs birth name was Michael... His dad went to Germany and got inspired by Martin Luther reform so therefore that's why he changed both their names
K&P always bring it. No matter what they do. 👌🏾
The O.G Martin Luther was a protestant preacher in 1800's England.
This is one of my absolute favorites of all the ERBs.☺️I just couldn't decide which one came out on top,so it was a tie.😁
Martin Luther King Jr.'s birth name was Michael.
He's referring to the Martin Luther who wrote the reformation from the church
I was like “he didn’t get the hose part?”
Key and peele really aced those roles
Nice reaction bro
Support from India
I think this was the only erb with the n word in it
Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton almost had the n word too, but Abe interrupted Trump.
@@0xDiegoR that one would have a hard R that just shatters windows.
Wait a second Doc... Are You Ice Cube's forgotten son?! oO
ghandis first line "i fought the cast system but you still cannot touch this" is a play on the lowest cast in the indian society, "the untouchables" and of course MC Hammers song "can't touch this". ghandi wanted to improve the life of these "untouchable" people, who were born into mandatory poverty and basically having no rights nor way to work their way out of their tough lives.
I love that lamp.
That moment of confusion followed by realization for the ho's/hoes line was a thing of beauty.
Gandhi vs Jesus
Still Gandhi wins..
Yup martin luther germany circa 14or 1500
He never noticed that it's key and Peele.
Michael Luther king jr. That was his first name that was given to him
"I am passively resisting the fact that you suck". There's some off hand wisdom. Please passively resist the fact that some people suck.
Also just looked it up I know ppl explained the Martin Luther thing a few times but his father did change his name cause he was inspired by my boy the og Martin Luther
Mlkj originally first name was Michael Jr.
ghandi fucking destroyed it at the end there. Aint nobody going to survive that one.
It was Michael King Jr. his original name
martin luther's original first name was michael
I know that people will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Martin Luther King's birth name was Michael
I was low-key annoyed when you didn't get the ho's joke but I'm glad you got it immediately
Martin Luther King Jr Was originally known as Michael Dr King
i never caught on the hose line until now, holy shit
Martin Luther was the guy that encouraged the distribution of bibles and stood up to the Jesuits.
He is talking about the reformist Martian Luther
Oh my god I seen the Martin Luther king actor before
how did you not catch the Street Fighter bar
You stopped the video at the right places!
Raps so Hot I spit “YOGA FIYAAA” dhalsim ref
Martin is this king name from birth
The original Martin Luther caused the protestant reformation
Uuh no...the real Martin Luther was a 15th century (?) monk who basically started Protestant. He nailed his grievances to the door of his local (Catholic) church.
Listening to some of his speeches though, MLK would have been an awesome rapper.
Oh, and Gandhi wasn't even c;lose to celibate...
Key and Peele are perfect for this
No realization that it was key and Peele? Lol
[Insert nuclear Gandhi reference here]
Martin Luther King Jr. birth name was Michael King.
Martin L was in front. But that end line ... wow just wow 😄
Good work on this video
His birth name was Michael
His name was micheal king at birth
American peoples:-ohh shit.. Its 🔥
Indian people:-hello i am andar the watar plz help me
There was a rumor that MLKJr slept around that's why he said hoes but hose makes sense too
