#EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY SERIES#
The series pits historical and pop culture figures against one another in a rap battle format. Wade being overturned turns out to be prophetic when it really was in 2022.Epic Rap Battles of History ( ERB) is a YouTube web series and music project created by Peter "Nice Peter" Shukoff and Lloyd "EpicLLOYD" Ahlquist.
Early in 2021, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building to try and stop Congress from certifying the 2020 electoral votes, which was basically resistance against Biden in the form of "a riot". Trump makes several not-so-veiled threats to Biden and refers to the resistance against him as "a riot".Then, come 2021, he got Off on a Technicality and released early, charges against him voided. This battle made several Take That! attacks at Bill Cosby for his many sexual assault allegations and, at the time, conviction.A year later, Ron Jeremy was charged with multiple counts of rape and sexual assault. Ronald calls himself "Ronald Jeremy" because he's "getting nasty".Season 6 was eventually confirmed for spring 2019, however. This battle ends with them fake-cancelling the show, only for the show to later on actually go on an indefinite hiatus.It's one thing for this battle to end on Abraham Lincoln personally stepping in to tell Trump and Clinton off it's quite another when Trump not only set up a town hall at the Lincoln Memorial, but did it just to claim that he'd been treated worse than that person, in front of his monument.
Boasting purely about the show and his pride in it was already inaccurate when the match dropped. Especially with further hindsight that, by the time the battle dropped, Martin had already cut creative ties with the show over what are now understood as growing irreconcilable Creative Differences with the showrunners. As noted by many commenters, this line really hasn't aged well, since the final season of GOT saw a steep decline in quality to the show that made most of its fans denounce it as a potential Franchise Killer. Martin boasts about his show being the "hottest thing on H.B.O".Going back and watching Disney singing about Henson and Lee having to "stay busy" and being told to "get back to work", one could infer that they weren't just criticizing Disney for their tendency to buy out other companies and properties, but were also venting about the potential stress brought upon them by higher ups at the company. As of 2018, Peter and Lloyd have left the Disney-owned Maker Studios, due to wanting more creative freedom over their series, and if "Nice Peter vs EpicLLOYD 2" is of any indication, they probably also left due to the stress and pressure brought on by their schedule, which is reflected in Season 6 having monthly releases rather than biweekly ones.It could also be seen as Hilarious in Hindsight considering that many viewers of that battle thought the Hulk won - he was, indeed, still incredible.
Henson's line about how the Hulk will always be incredible becomes a bit cringe-worthy considering how the later rap battle with the Hulk himself ended up being one of the most divisive in the series, with the highest dislike percentage out of all the raps.
Of course, this could instead be Hilarious in Hindsight depending on your viewpoint. The Fantastic Four reboot, which premiered a few days after the battle, turned out to be disappointing. Jim Henson mentions how "the Four will always be Fantastic".
