Every Epic Rap Battles Of History Ranked

22. Bonnie & Clyde Vs. Romeo & Juliet

Battle: The battle sees Bonnie and Clyde (Hannah Hart and Lloyd) and Romeo and Juliet (Peter and Grace Helbig) face off. At the end Bonnie shots Juliet, Romeo thinks she's dead and drinks poison, then she gets up and when she sees that Romeo is dead, she stabs herself. Just after that, Bonnie and Clyde are shot dead like they are in the film.

This season four battle is absolutely sublime. It's a glorious hoot that'll have in stiches from beginning to end - especially when Grace Helbig, who steals the show as Juliet, is rapping - and it's another delightful representation of ERB lyrics at their smartest, wittiest and most refined.

The one issue here is that the deaths of the characters feels slightly on the gimmicky side, but it is still mostly entertaining to watch and ultimately doesn't make this episode any less of a joy.

Best Line:

Clyde: "Oh! Romeo, O Romeo, wherefore you tryin' to flow, yo? / Mofo, you soft as a froyo! Are those the drapes or your clothes, bro?"
