Every Epic Rap Battles Of History Ranked
7. Barack Obama Vs. Mitt Romney
Battle: Mitt Romney (Lloyd) and Barack Obama (Iman Crosson) battle it out before Abraham Lincoln (Peter) arrives at the end to criticize both of them.
The most successful ERB episode to date, and it's more than deserved.
Not only is it a generally joyous episode to watch and not only are all three rappers absolutely terrific - in particular, Iman Crosson's Obama impersonation is uncannily on-point - but it's legitimately incredibly informative.
Through the battle's beautifully-written verses you'll learn a lot about the election and both politicians. Abraham Lincoln's surprise appearance at the end is still a hoot all these years later too.
Barack Obama himself has apparently seen the video and despite the many blows launched against him (and his wife!) in the video, he's said to have been a good sport about it.
Best Line:
Obama: "Republicans need a puppet and you fit / Got their hands so far up your rear, call you mitt!"
