10 Best Epic Rap Battles Of (Actual) History

1. George R.R. Martin Vs. J.R.R. Tolkien

The literary titans of fantasy go head to head, featuring the most dazzling recreations of their worlds as backdrops and numerous tiny details throughout the piece. Pay close attention to the title for Tolkien, who appears suddenly in front of his name while slipping a certain ring into his pocket.

The matching of these two was an obvious yet immensely satisfying choice. Of course, both writers are the fathers of vast, sprawling fantasy worlds but there is more to it than just that. Both writers share the same middle initials. Both writers are known for their incredible attention to detail. Both writers have had their main works made into hugely popular visual experiences and both of those portrayals feature a certain character who dies by the end of the first volume, played by Sean Bean.

The lyrics of this battle are layered with references to their works, but the conclusion to Tolkien's first verse is a sermon on the nature of why his stories will remain timeless. Overall, simply one of the best duels created by Epic Rap Battles Of History to date.
