Every Epic Rap Battles Of History Ranked

49. George R.R. Martin Vs. J.R.R. Tolkein

Rappers: Peter (Tolkein) and Lloyd (Martin).

The first episode of season five has a very inspired match-up and delivers it with largely entertaining results.

Much like season five as a whole, it feels subdued, but less so than many of the other episodes in this season. It's an entertaining, smart and well-written episode with terrific production values, making it a good season opener for the most part.

Best Line:

Tolkein: "I got the prose of a pro! Your s**t's sub-par! / You're a pirate! You even stole my "R. R."!"
