Every Epic Rap Battles Of History Ranked

14. Gandhi Vs. Martin Luther King Jr

Rappers: Jordan Peele (King) and Keegan Michael-Key (Gandhi).

This is an absolutely excellent battle, as well as a unique one.

Since it's showcasing two absolutely iconic pacifists, the raps are less brutal than normal and both rappers insult each other in subtler, cleverer ways. This makes this battle a particularly entertaining one to watch and the writing is especially smart.

As well as this, Key and Peele are both terrific as their characters and the visuals are especially good. Simply put, this is one of the all-time best ERB instalments and it's deservedly become one of the most iconic.

Best Line:

Luther: "I admire the way you broke the British power / But I have a dream that one day you'll take a shower!"
