ERB has gone on multiple tours around the world so fans can see them rap live.They sometimes use fast rapping schemes, like the middle of David Copperfield's verse.They give the opportunities for fanmade ERB makers "Mat4yo and VideoGameRapBattles" to write for rap battles, most specifically Ash Ketchum vs Charles Darwin.The characters always have at least one thing in common, which gives the opportunity for the writers to make a lot of comparisons between the characters. A lot of the match-ups have at least some kind of connection between the rappers.Gordon Ramsay thought the rap battle between him and Julia Child was hilarious, and Donald Trump checked out "Donald Trump vs Ebeneezer Scrooge" and tweeted it. Some of the characters they use in their rap battles actually check them out, e.g.They sometimes twist it up and make battle royales such as "Rasputin vs Stalin" and team battles such as "Ghostbusters vs Mythbusters.".The idea of having historical figures/fictional characters fight each other in a rap battle is an interesting concept.They created an authentic season finale with a sequel to Nice Peter vs Epic Lloyd, except this time they rap against each other talking about their real emotions and how they are feeling inside, which was a powerful way to end the season.They sometimes manage to get famous celebrities to rap in their battles, such as:.They use characters that are very popular in the media, like Goku.And the singing is enjoyable and well-received by fans. They sometimes have the characters sing, like Freddy Mercury.At the "who won, who's next" part of James Bond vs Austin Powers, multiple comments that suggested the battle are being shown, including one that says "erbp did it first." ERB sometimes even make funny references to Epic Rap Battles Parodies. Encourages other aspiring rappers to create their own rap battles series, such as Epic Rap Battle Parodies, and ERB even talks about them sometimes.In "Ivan the Terrible vs Alexander the Great," Ivan killed any rapper that challenged him, and the ways the historical figures were seen dying are exactly how they died in history. Some rap battles have interesting and smart plots.The lyrics are unbelievably smart and most of have historical references, like "Roosevelt vs Churchill." They also have hilarious punchlines, such as "No one saw Shane coming, except for your wife" in "Rick Grimes vs Walter White.".For example, the topic of Mozart vs Skrillex was classic vs dubstep, and so the beat was half classic/half dubstep. The beats fit the topic of the rap battle very well."Zeus vs Thor" and "Harry Potter vs Luke Skywalker" were animated in a Lego format, which was very well-received.And they always have an original way of portraying the characters, such as Walt Disney, who is portrayed as a physical representation of corporate greed. Joan of Arc is portrayed a brave and confident woman. The characters they used are portrayed well with voices that fit who they are.The rappers are very talented, and their flow is exceptional in almost all of the battles.The videos are produced in Disney's Maker Studios.
