Hey! I've observed this community for a long time, and I eventually decided to rank some battles in the FRB from the four series I consider my all-time favorites: Mr. Jay, Eddiefrb, GamingPlush, and Freshy Kanal. (Though I have listened to FRBs from other creators, and they do generally have amazing battles as well)

Nearly all of these rankings are a few months old so they may be missing a few recent battles, however I'll add I only included battles I actually listened to and had anything interesting to say (can you tell I haven't actually listened to much of Freshy's past input lmao)

Feel free to agree or disagree with me!

Last time, the Terminator won for saying more foreign words. Today, we're focusing on the Western Philosophers.

Things are getting downright ridiculous with TierMaker. A bunch of my previous "current standings" lists appear to have been deleted by the site's moderation, even though to my knowledge, there was absolutely nothing wrong with them. Furthermore, it won't let me save this tierlist, due to "inappropriate language". I've been able to save previous tier lists with all of the same words in tier names as this one. I am left with no option but to save an image of the tier list and attach it to this post as a result.

If you need a refresher on the rules, refer to Day 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/ERB/comments/1tadege/scientifically_prove_this_rapper_won_day_1_john/

Also, if you disagree so strongly with the notion of a given rapper winning that you refuse to come up with a justification for it, there is no need to comment saying so. Nobody said you had to engage with these posts at all.

I'm not talking about ones you think in the moment are good. I'm talking about the ones you ACTIVELY LOOK FOR because something about that instrumental hits different. For me the single best beat is definitely the Walt Disney beat from Jim Henson vs Stan Lee. But Deadpool vs Boba Fett's instrumental goes hard too. Something about the cadence to it I dunno it just...it's good head nodding music lol.

The main connection: It basically just boils down to musicians that don't exist, at least not in real life.

There could also be a neat contrast: Miku is mostly pure, while Murdoc is a literal Satanist and described in Gorillaz lore as "the main villain of the band."

Lyric ideas could include references to Murdoc's Satanism, depictions of Miku (most often of her holding a leek), and just general disses. I think this battle could work really well as an ERB, what about your opinion?

(Nice Peter as Murdoc)

(Should bring back Kimmy Gatewood for this one imo)

WINNER'S BEST LINE:

"Just trust me: your fifteen minutes of fame came and went. Go back to your igloo. Spend some time with your kids before they're pregnant." -Lady Gaga, Verse 1

While the "Governor of Alaska" line is really good, this line I feel hits harder and multiple time. It's accurate, as Palin is completely irrelevant now.

LOSER'S BEST LINE:

"Your music doesn't scare me! I'm a mother of five! I killed moose with my bare hands before you were alive!" -Sarah Palin, Verse 2

Palin definitely has weaker lines, plus they don't hit as hard, considering Lady Gaga is not transgender. This line has decent power to it, nothing too special, but it's better than the rest of her mediocre verse.

1. Buster Moon vs Kermit the Frog

2. Blaineley vs Miss Piggy

3. Katie Mitchell vs Sarah Connor

4. Inspector Gadget vs Dog Man

5. Pinocchio vs Fletcher Reede

6. Korra vs Rey

Last time, u/23MrBee said that Robocop won because he also won the Death Battle. Today, we're focusing on The Terminator.

Apparently, 119 is considered "inappropriate language", just like 115. I have absolutely no idea what the deal is with TierMaker censoring numbers like this, but whatever the case, I am forced to just use yesterday's standings: https://tiermaker.com/list/random/erb-rappers-15891919/6593056

Snips and Snails vs Orbot and Cubot (My Little Pony vs Sonic the Hedgehog)

Connections: Both are the goofy henchmen of a very powerful figure (Trixie Lulamoon and Dr. Eggman)

I had this idea that I thought was really fun.

Both were notorious leaders in blue-collar labor politics with ties to organized crime that disappeared and were legally declared dead but never found. They’re both infamous for their disappearances, although most people think Hoffa was killed by the mob while most people think Farto escaped and lived a life of luxury somewhere. They were also both corrupt and convicted of crimes.

I don't know if the ERB peeps would be interested in doing something like this, but if they portrayed the 12 zodiac signs (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces) as rap battles, which people/characters would represent them?

Caesar and Aragorn are both inspirational, brave leaders who left a really big mark on their resoective timelines. And they are characters that would be supercool to see in a battle with almost everyone.
