10 Best Epic Rap Battles Of (Actual) History
6. George Washington Vs. William Wallace
Despite Lloyd's rather circumspect impression of a Scottish accent (or at least an imitation of Mel Gibson's attempt at a Scottish accent), this battle holds up surprisingly well with it's rugged pace and great costumes. It was the second time to include a Mount Rushmore President (what with the woeful Abraham Lincoln vs. Chuck Norris from Season 1); ERB would later have all of the Rushmore Four in their own battles as time went on.
Of particular enjoyment is the American Soldiers rowing past the screen muttering 'Stroke', in reference to Washington's commands to his men as they tried to cross the River Delaware without attracting attention from the British on the other side. It should be noted that ERB has also never shied away from identifying those heroes of American history as problematic, pointing out that Washington was a slave owner.
Others of note in the same vein are Frederick Douglas vs. Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt vs. Winston Churchill.
