Excellent effort put forth by both competitors. Elon had the high ground getting the first verse in this battle. He decided not to come on strong however, laying out a slow start with little wordplay and simply boasting about himself with a soft yet punctual jab with the winklevoss line. Though a weak start this proves to be strategic as he hasn’t s given Zuckerberg much ammunition to attck in zuck’s first rebuttal.
Given the rather tepid approach from Elon, Zuckerberg attacks a technicality from the star trek line. This both allows him to play into the nerdy accusations from Elon but also segue near perfectly to Zuckerberg’s high status both disarming and attacking Elon at the same time. Zuck ends his verse with some well constructed brags, but not before taking a jab at Elon’s history and upbringing, a proven and powerful tactic to use in rap battles.
Elon’s final verse and only rebuttal was unanimously his best verse of the battle. Some praise has to be given to Elon responding so quickly with a dense, multisyllabic rhyme dismissing the Joe Rogan podcast reference. Better and improved wordplay is also more present in Elon’s rebuttal. He didn’t pull any punches and hit Zuckerberg hard with several disses about Facebook, Zuckerberg’s main accomplishment and rise to fame and wealth. The verse was well worded, but it wasn’t enough with Zuckerberg having the final verse of the battle.
Zuckerberg cleans up the battle short and sweet, focusing more on dissing Elon than tooting his own horn. A decent number of these verbal attacks were matched with subtle brags and simple rhymes however, known to be zuckerberg’s style of battling. Though both competitors brought their “A” game Zuckerberg can claim his title as the better rapper.
Of all the massive, 10m subscriber+ youtube channels, I think ERB is my favorite. They’ve just got a ton of highly talented people putting tons of effort into making great videos with an amazing concept. I literally have no issues with them outside of the odd bad rap battle.
really didn’t have good insults for Musk. i would’ve mentioned how he hasn’t been able to deliver Teslas on time and how Tesla was by his own admission bleeding money and about to go under.
Damn you beat me to it. So happy they’re back!
That felt really safe. I think after their controversial previous season they want to dial it back.
I think they really improved on the actual musical/rapping aspect. This was very fun and pretty solid
Solid premiere and a matchup that actually makes sense. Plz no more nonsense like Lincoln vs Chuck Norris.
This Friday just keeps on giving..
Nailed the zuckerberg bot, not so much on Elon. Funny regardless
apar-tide pods
lol
The musky dutch taint was a strong move though.
I hate people who just repost lines from the video.
But Income – pleat is picante
Huh, wasn’t sure if they’d be back but am pleasantly surprised.
Social Nyet-work. Lol.
The “incomplete” and “income, pleat” line was fire
EPUHRABATTUROVISTRAAAAAYYYYYY
Ahh perfect.
Glad that ERB is back!
Was waiting for a “funding secured” line.
IMO Musk had better disses, but Zuck had better flow.
Glad to see these guys back.

Is this a new season ???
Ah glad they’re back.
Guess I’ll be reliving my favorite ERB’s this afternoon. Not what I had planned, but should be fun.
TIL this series is still going.
huh.
Carefully timed to avoid any major elections, I see.
Which Senator was the one with the huge necklace at 0:27 supposed to represent?
I always love the weird voice they do during the intros. It’s so dumb but it always gets me.
Lmao. “You can’t sneak up on Zuck. I don’t even fucking blink” had me dying laughing. Zuckerbot was so spot on in this video.
Vader vs Hitler still the greatest.
I forgot this channel was a thing, now I gotta catch up on a few years of epic rap

OMG they’re baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!
Thank you sweet baby Jesus, with your golden fleece diapers, with your tiny, little fat balled up little fists…
/r/erb
These have always been cringey as fuck
Finally, out of cryogenic freezing once again.
Wow they still make these?
So they didn’t die out.
I am so happy, that they finally returned after almost 2 years.
Ugh.
really didn’t have good insults for Musk. i would’ve mentioned how he hasn’t been able to deliver Teslas on time and how Tesla was by his own admission bleeding money and about to go under.
Fuck Zuck 100%
