Epic Rap Battles of History

Mario Bothers vs Wright Brothers

I stumbled across this web series that I think is #Awesome. The concept involves historical figures (both alive, dead, and fictional) throwing to down in a well produced, low-blow rap battle.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m over the whole rap comedy=viral video thing, but the interactive element of this series wins me over. ERB (as the series creators abbreviate it) encourages fans to submit ideas on who should battle and vote on who wins. Speaking of creators, this series is a side project of popular YouTubers NicePeter and EpicLloyd. And to up the viewership ante, the most recent episode features RhettandLink as the Wright brothers.
