Every Epic Rap Battles Of History Ranked

11. Edgar Allan Poe Vs. Stephen King

Rappers: George Watsky (Poe) and Zach Sherwin (King).

This one is arguably the finest rap battle of season three.

A seemingly endless barrage of razor-sharp rhymes, delightful references and brutal burns, this is a short one yet it doesn't waste a single second and the entire thing is absolutely relentless.

Zach Sherwin's portrayal of Stephen King was a bit odd, since it doesn't feel anything like the real person, but otherwise? Bravo. It's a brilliantly fast-paced and intense masterpiece of a rap battle.

Best Line:

King: "Masque of the Red Death? Barely blood curdling / Pit and the Pendulum? Not even unnerving / Perving on your first cousin when she's thirteen years old? Now, that's disturbing!"
