Every Epic Rap Battles Of History Ranked

54. Artists Vs. TMNT

Battle: Leonardo Da Vinci, Donatello di Betto Bardi (Rhett and Link), Michelangelo Buonarotti (Ian Hecox) and Raphael Sanzio (Anthony Padilla) battle against the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Voiced by Peter and Lloyd).

This is such a frustrating one.

The concept was fantastic, the beat is an ear-worm and the rhymes we get are very snappy and well-written... but it's all over far, far too quickly.

It is outrageously short, most of the characters don't get a chance to shine and this feels like a half-completed battle. Maybe the team just ran out of time? Maybe there were availability issues for some of the rappers? That feels like the only logical explanation for why this was so rushed.

Best Line:

Donatello: "Hard shell, but you're gross in the middle / Wouldn't wanna touch you with a six foot chisel / Born in goop, raised in poop / I slice through a group of ninjas like fruit, Oops!"
