[Critical Analysis] Nice Peter vs EpicLLOYD. Epic Rap Battles of History. The Final Battle?

[@yusakwilliam1179]

13:53 Lloyd complained about Peter screwing over people, and look at the backdrop. It's the one from Edison vs. Tesla, and Edison is known for screwing Tesla over.

[@Mat4yo]

interesting observation!

[@nutburger]

Yusak William I'm pretty sure the main purpose of the background is that Lloyd played Edison and Dante played Tesla but that's a possibility

[@requix11]

Yusak William yeah noticed that

[@gaetanodepaola2ndchannel179]

"You never had sex, but you sure got screwed by me!"

[@MischiefMusketeers]

When I met NicePeter at his concert he said the F word is his favorite word so maybe it was just his character

[@Mat4yo]

that's nice inside info to know haha

[@breckenkoa4427]

I know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost my password. I love any help you can give me.

[@coltensamir7687]

@Brecken Koa instablaster ;)

[@SketchyStudio]

Why did you ask him that lol

[@YAOES]

It did say "Season Finale"... I feel like it would have said "Series Finale"...

[@SuttyNotSooty]

YAOES but in the video when they break the fourth wall and click like, the title reads "the final battle" so maybe even Nice Peter and epic Lloyd don't even know if they're continuing or not

[@YAOES]

Suttyyi That says "The Final Battle" because the finale of Season One was them against each other, and was titled "The Final Battle."

[@Mat4yo]

if they did that, they wouldn't be able to go back. the vague wording leaves the door cracked open

[@SuttyNotSooty]

YAOES my bad, I didn't realise the throwback, I thought it was a mistake on their part...

[@pizzab0t]

it says season finale on all of the last episodes. however I just noticed how the original video is just called season finale the scene where the viewer is liking the video the title on that one is "THE FINAL BATTLE" not mentioning the season. this could be the final epic rap battle of history ever.

[@Codiliabra]

I think that they cursed to show how they weren't characters, and that they are actual people that mess up.

[@JaruJaruJ]

What this guys said.

[@MyoticTesseract]

I know there's a lot of deep and heated venting and emotional lyricism in this battle, but "I'm sorry man / NO I'M FUCKING NOT FUCK YOU" is honestly my favorite line in the entire thing.

[@Roebey]

13:53 I think that this is a reference to how Edison VS Tesla was the only time Dante played a character, but it was still voiced (in part) by Peter.

[@calebbeaudoin7963]

Peter's profanity could've just been how he talks. He's playing himself, remember?

[@Mat4yo]

I did mention that maybe it fits the character

[@calebbeaudoin7963]

Mat4yo It sounded like you meant that more as a qualifier than an excuse, though if you dislike the word, I guess it's your prerogative.

[@Mat4yo]

you're right, and I accept his prerogative as well

[@bobrhubarbtv591]

You definately need to make top three best and worst ERB's

[@Mat4yo]

I want to do at least 1 different episode of chisel this before that

[@ollie4001]

Mat4yo how old are you dude? and keep up the good work

[@Mat4yo]

20. thanks! I will

[@ollie4001]

Mat4yo oh my god you actually replied 😇

[@pizzab0t]

I just noticed how the original video is just called season finale the scene where the viewer is liking the video the title on that one is "THE FINAL BATTLE" not mentioning the season. this could be the final epic rap battle of history ever.

[@Irakli008]

"Doink" is also a move in Rocket League, the game Lloyd mentioned.

[@GeekyNerd_FTW]

Please don't tell me this is the last, I wouldn't be able to handle it.

[@charleefurness9376]

GeekyNerd_FTW ii

[@Futures_End]

IT'S NOT!

[@Skylos]

Please give us a top 5 and bottom 5 ERBs. Would love to hear which ones are your favourites/least favourites and why.

[@cool61911]

Greatest idea I've heard all week

[@spacebartoloud]

What you said at approximately 21:50 is so true. Those questions you pose should be asked and applied to any and all creators, sadly we can't all do what we love, we most certainly do have to ask ourselves "Should I continue to do the things I love and the way I see fit, or should I give into the demand of my viewers?" Each side undoubtedly has it's fair share of pro's and cons.' Sometimes (unfortunately so) it is very easy to give into demand and compromise our morals and beliefs in order to actually make a living/something worthwhile to keep doing. It certainly isn't free to make the things that people enjoy, nor is it free if it happens to be something people dislike. Albeit it is easier to continue to do something you dislike or find tedious if you are making a living that is able to pay the bills, and make the content that is your bread and butter. (What I mean by that is if you both enjoy what you are doing, and it makes money, but find the editing of videos tedious, albeit easy... the two aforementioned pro's can easily outweigh/give one motivation to get through the tedious/"unfun" work of editing a video. Though with success such as ERB one can indeed hire others to take the (err rather some) stress/tediousness of less than fun tasks off of the shoulders of the true brain/driving force of the entertainment piece.) I am a big gamer, they are without a doubt a huge distraction, and there are undoubtedly times where I wish I could control it a bit better, but alas I fail at doing this, and while making money obviously wont put a full stop to the gaming, it would help me cut back on it, as I would indeed have extra motivation to do whatever it is I am doing. I started and failed at making my youtube channel, and I can sometimes have good deep insight on certain subjects, as long as it doesn't involve true intelligence, (I mean book SMART... I am a believer that there are many different kinds of "intelligence") I just couldn't keep up with the editing of videos, which is really time consuming, even without special effects like the tomato's being thrown at you earlier in the video. Which undoubtedly added to how much time you spent editing the video. It is difficult but not impossible to create a video alone. It doesn't matter if you go into editing/performing in your videos alone or with a team both will have it's fair share of challenges, each with it's own unique set of challenges at that. I could never name them all, it would be far too easy to miss a few of them. I really do not mind commenting on videos, but I can be a little long winded, and often my gaming addiction gets in the way.... I say there are worse addictions out there, but I am not fooling myself I know it is still an addiction... an issue. Still even without gaming, not only do I have other issues I could work on to better myself, but also I would never have time to watch every single video I come across let alone add anything meaningful to the... conversation/something that I want to comment on from the video. Sometimes it isn't even worth it, right now passions are running at an all time high with trump being in the white house at the moment, but despite me not liking him, or caring for the decisions he has made while in the white house, I am trying to steer clear of that convo as much as humanly possible. I feel both sides of his hate/love has gone a bit overboard here or there. No one is perfect. We are all only human. Either way I do hope you continue to do these kind of videos, and I hope you have already found your answer to that question you asked, which I suspect you have, as those who have few subs/views/likes but lots of videos tend to truly be in it for fun, that's not to say those who have failed channels like mine weren't originally created in an attempt to have a bit of fun/share wisdom upon others, but yea if you aren't making money doing something you like then you definitely need to consider doing something else especially if you need money. It is most certainly futile to continue to do something that clearly isn't working. Albeit you obviously can't skyrocket to youtube stardom overnight, it really does take hard work, but yea *plays broken record.* xD (Seriously it is indeed hard to justify doing something if you can't provide the necessary tools to continue to do it. I.E The bills I mentioned earlier. :$) It is without a doubt important to make money, but also keep your morals intact, sadly though that isn't always easy especially when you feel pressured to make $$ so that you can continue to do what you want. Sorry for the mini book. :x

[@fopy20]

Anyone else notice at 17:49 Nice Peter and EpicLLOYD are reversed in places? Pete is on George's side. I think thats why Peter says "Who do you think just"

[@Mat4yo]

I was going to say they were always on their own characters backgrounds until I saw that

[@DeclanCorey]

If this is the final ERB, I'm going to throw up and die. :(

[@ryantillotson627]

Amen brother.

[@DuskLegend]

Declan Corey you'll survive

[@allroundergamin7298]

Good episode Mat :D These always make me appreciate the music more, so now allow me to re-watch it for hours till i can remember it by heart... because.... why not?

[@Mat4yo]

haha mission accomplished!

[@lazer_4]

You really deserve more subs!

[@SatanicBarbeque]

I just wanna throw into the mix that I swear like a sailor and it often becomes a subconscious thing when I'm feeling passionate about the subject. Not really for emphasis, as much as just a comfortable reaction. I often neglect to remember the fact that frequent cursing is mostly frowned upon, and you're expected to control that impulse. I see that with NicePeters performance in this battle. He just acted off of the annoyance of being corrected when he's tired af and just as ready as EpicLloyd to be done with that particular video. Overall it's just a really entertaining rap battle, that was a great follow up to part 1, while focusing more on the creators themselves. P.S. as well as the box being a height joke, it could also be a jab at Lloyd getting on a soap box to throw insults at someone who is honestly on the exact same level as he is. Maybe

[@not_Medalin]

Is there any way to Chisel some of Dan Bull's work?

[@EnnZedder]

Damian Roman This would be awesome!

[@winstongraham944]

EnnZedder Especially, analysis of the CIVILIZATION rap by Dan Bull

[@AAA9734]

Yes!! Dan is always great, but that Civilization rap... it's beyond awesome.

[@loganjonesTTMS]

The first part of Perter’s verse was the most heated and with anger comes swearing so it’s natural that an angry rapper might swear more.

[@RisingSunReviews]

I hope you continue doing this chisel this series, because I really like learning about how these rap battles work, and would be interested in seeing how it applies to other songs or shows on KZbin, etc. I've said before that rap normally isn't my preferred genre but videos like this help me to appreciate all the thought process that goes into it.

[@Mat4yo]

I love to hear that! I definitely will, no doubt! thanks for your support

[@noahgray543]

Excellent analysis! This is what I was looking for, real thought and a deep dive. So many are just "reactions" that are basically the same, with a few doing a bit more. But this... this is perfect.

[@MrCyberGal]

Yesssssssss, Chisel Princess Rap Battles!

[@mcgoldenblade4765]

Despite this being the last battle of the season, it seemed kinda rushed and it went by way too fast... but after thinking about it I understand why.

[@Mat4yo]

Agreed

[@Opencountry0]

One thing this battle made me realize is how much better NicePeters rap delivery has gotten. Which is to be expected after doing it for six years, but still struck me as cool.

[@Mat4yo]

the energy is very heightened and his marking his good

[@TryingToBeInge]

YES! Please do top 5 and bottom 5 rap battles!

[@Mat4yo]

gotcha

[@AmodeusR]

How timely. I was just here now at your channel to look for this Critical Analysis xD

[@Mat4yo]

wow haha XD

[@edgutierrez501]

Hey that was good episode bro Now make the Top Erb's bro . Please.

[@Crytica.]

stfu bro

[@mystery8064]

He did bro

[@HarryPotter2875]

It might be a little crazy, but I'd love to see you do a Chisel This on my 100th battle when it finally comes out.

[@dewkong_]

I think that "make a fucking decision so all these people can leave" is a reference to ERB outro, when it says "YOU DECIDE" (Peter is the Announcer) because Lloyd mentioned "fancy fonts" too.

[@dalekminecrafter1079]

Can you do critical analysis on the erb episodes you haven't done?

[@Mat4yo]

possibly

[@SequenceBreaker64]

+Mat4yo i feel like it would be a good way to keep chisel this alive and going, at least in this off year for erb.

[@dalekminecrafter1079]

Mat4yo I think the Chisel This would still be amazing no matter what, but since you'll probably never read one of my comments again, thank you for being awesome.

[@Mat4yo]

joke's on you! thanks! (I try to answer everyone's comments since you take the time to leave them in the first place)

[@bobrhubarbtv591]

OMG THANKS I WAS RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO WATCH!!!

[@GamingPlush64PlushieContent]

BoBrhubarb TV Ditto.

[@dylanmitchell9260]

Wow nice chisel! Lookin forward to what's next!

[@emilchristophersen3354]

Hey Mat, I love your chisel this series and i would love if you would take a look at George Watsky. A lot of his songs have lots of layers and would make an amazing chisel this episode.

[@linusbabcock8724]

Have you thought about calling the series "Chisel Dis"

[@iviano1149]

HermitJFrogsworth chisel diss

[@shelbyherring92]

Damn, this was 5 years ago... I was still in the Army when this came out... Dang, man.

[@coreysimpson9932]

Hey man still love your videos, do you think that you could do Critical Analysis for older erb battles, that would be awesome. Oh and keep up the good work mate.

[@GamingPlush64PlushieContent]

At 1:17 Mateo lists the next Superhero group. They will squash the Avengers!

[@electricVGC]

inb4 Avengers vs Avengers ft. God (For the Lord is an Avenger - 1 Thessalonians 4:6) :P

[@tokumei]

YES FINALLY!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!

[@Mat4yo]

woot!

[@DC_Prox]

similar anecdote: I got into Watsky because of ERB, and it was a combination of Watsky and ERB that got me back into rapping. (side note: saw Watsky and Anderson.Paak live in Vancouver in late 2014, met them both too, awesome stuff)

[@postapocalypse0763]

17:10 I thought it was a "soapbox" he was suppose to stand on?

[@Arkegox]

I thing it's more like Scully box. NicePeter's make fun of Lloyd's stature by showing that behind-the-scenes he's standing on a box to look taller

[@Mat4yo]

I guess they can be called different things, but they share the same purpose. Appleboxes are primarily for film production

[@IbexGundyr]

Wesley Darnell I think you're thinking of "preaching from a soapbox" where Pete standing on the box is more to make fun of how short Lloyd is.

[@TanmanC]

Yes please do top5 best and worst ERBS! Also Princess Rap Battles getting chiseled would be great

[@iglooivan]

At the end of your analysis you should give us your opinion on who won?

[@ianstevens3497]

hey, this actually helped me out with a project of mine. I'm not in the same funk as Pete and Lloyd seem to be in the rap, but your words to them helped me a bit too. thanks!

[@Mat4yo]

oh that's awesome! thanks!

[@wrecklessfilmsofficial]

1:31 Peter and Lloyd are standing in the opposite backgrounds. Peter is in Martin's, and Lloyd is in Tolkien's......could be a mistake on the editors part though.

[@justintime7351]

I kind of find it ironic that peter u could say 'took' dante's credit for tesla similar to how George Westinghouse did a very similar thing to tesla when tesla agreed to rip up his contract and take his name out of the invention in the real world. I wonder if this is a coincidence or not?

[@aliexantr]

I think all the cursing on pete's part is just the way he speaks normally so a part of his character i'd say. I remember he mentioned in a video in nicepetertoo that he just likes cursing cause the words are there like a form of expression if I remember correctly. Anyway, great video as it gave me perspective on the meaning of the battle in some parts that I missed. Great Job! Looking forward to more content :)

[@BlankPapers]

I loved the way you chiseled that 4 us. Yo did great, Mat.

[@Crytica.]

Because of the cursing "Which they don't do that much in their videos" It made his verses more impact and believable. I liked it this time because of the cropped up emotions behind it. That's also why I think Pete "won" He had more fire in his rap in my opinion making me side with him.

[@Mat4yo]

That's exactly how I read it, I just wanted to clarify it's lyrical value. I made the distinction where it works and where it doesn't. thanks for your thoughts!

[@junglecruise20]

Good analysis! It's kinda hard to judge this battle given the fact that anything they say is exactly what the characters they're playing would say due to their characters being themselves... But yea, good video and a nice conclusion to ERB, if it was a conclusion. Regardless, I'm excited to see what content you bring out this upcoming year! I'll reiterate my interest in seeing you cover current events - be those important world events or joining the internet-wide debate about if Nintendo is going to die because of the Switch's launch lineup.

[@EntityXe]

great video do whatever you think is best for you and your channel good luck

[@pizzab0t]

I just noticed how the original video is just called season finale the scene where the viewer is liking the video the title on that one is "THE FINAL BATTLE" not mentioning the season. this could be the final epic rap battle of history ever.

[@YAOES]

Yo Matteo, glad you talked about Patreon again. I gotchu bro!

[@Mat4yo]

thanks man! hope you check it out

[@jolliron]

It's just a season ending. their will be more.

[@1lucia]

I just watched thedore roosevelt vs churchill 2 hours ago analysis, and though "I cant wait for the analysis of nice peter vs epiclloyd" and there I go lol

[@Mat4yo]

haha the universe has its ways!

[@1lucia]

i just realized how many errors were in that comment lmao.

[@zakharyrashid9040]

Don't you think it would be cool if you made a open rap challenge for you fans to write lyrics and you give a shout out to your favourites?

[@Mat4yo]

I will incorporate fans in a creative way soon

[@kyleblanc7018]

Mat4yo: F word should be replaced with something creative. Nice Peter: I'm fucking burned out man!

[@ntm4]

And now ERB is coming back! We finally got the answer: It was a long break, but not the end.

[@GeekyNerd_FTW]

I would love to see the top 5/bottom 5 ERBS and mini chisel this' for fan made ERBs

[@WoodenHornets]

He's already done the second one.

[@isillor529]

can't wait for those tutorials!

[@Theosb1]

Love these!

[@Mat4yo]

thanks!

[@lazer_4]

Do you have to pay for the chisel school thing? Because if you do i cant, i don't have a credit card ;-;

[@ravenfrancis1476]

I am all too familiar with the concept of needing a break from something that you love doing. In my case, it was writing Death Battles. Heck, writing in general.

[@Mat4yo]

same here. I'm putting writing video game music on the side now and it hurts but it's necessary

[@jan_jh739]

What makes this extra real is that on a live stream Pete said that it was hard for him cuz of the adderall line he said that he really had a problem with adderall

[@HuntSD]

Doing a group project like a MEP is difficult because their is so many people working on the project. If people don't give there 100% effort it will fall apart. You can say this to ERB a lot of these Epic Rap Battles should fall apart but it doesn't and it became something incredible.

[@Mat4yo]

for sure, you know it well!

[@THECHI7LDUDE22]

7:58 the point was to show he was fed up and annoyed. That's how people talk when they are pissed

[@surem8319]

So, are you ever gonna tackle some of the season 2, 3 or maybe even 1, rap battles? You used quite a few of them as cross references in your other analysis videos, so would be cool to see a video on them.

[@zsizakhan970]

love your vids man

[@Mat4yo]

thanks!

[@pilotuntested4395]

Hey Mat! Do you think season 2 of ERB is their best season??? That's my favorite. If not, which season do you like best?

[@mattig89ch]

Nice analysis.

[@FirstRisingSouI]

It didn't seem like the series was ending to me. But then, you are in the industry, so your intuition is probably better trained than mine for this.

[@ivancubacub531]

Well, I mean when you and you're brother (idk if he's your brother) reacted to it. He did say that there's no "Who Won, Who's Next, You Decide" line. So I thought that this lead you in to thinking that this is the final battle which I can understand, it can cause quite a confusion but for every Season Finale battles, the announcer at the end won't say that line.

[@ivancubacub531]

So the bottomline is: ERB won't end dammit.

[@EmmaBonn96]

Didn't expect Lloyd to be there.

[@big-willy-t4860]

dope mat4yo

[@justinrossman3255]

Top 5 and bottom 5 ERBs! I'd love to hear your thoughts and why you hate/love certain ones of them

[@availablearchive]

at 8:50 you can see his green screen backdrop for a second

[@NapoleonSoares]

all of the content you suggested sounded fantastic, but especially running through old battles and chiseling other products like PRB's and the like. Also goodluck with all your original content plans, it's a lot of work but i'm sure you'll kill it in the end.

[@Kristian-jk2ww]

If you see the name of the rap battle it says season finale not series finale.

[@jaredawesome5251]

love how this is a 30 minute video on a 3 minute batttle...

[@EvanKerr]

1. I'm surprised you didn't mention that they weren't in front of the right backgrounds on Tolkien vs Martin. Maybe you didn't notice it, but I'd love to know your take on it. I assumed it was a diss to the editors because it came when he said the editors did bad work, and then he was about to point something out (he was saying "who do you think just-" until he was interrupted by Andrew). 2. Honestly I don't think they even know if they're continuing the battles, but that's just my take

[@KenshiImmortalWolf]

I think like with the original it's just a separation of era. The original one ended in the battles 'ending' but then not. In this case they openly say they need a break, which may be a long break, it may be only a few months, it may be over a year, but it is a break.

[@bobrhubarbtv591]

Do you think "Nice Diva" was a pun on "Mike Diva", the guy who played Bruce Lee?

[@tombro911]

His thumbnail made me click cause I thought he was wheelchair bound and in extreme paralysis...

[@zena7114]

My favourite quote from anything ERB is “WHEN ARE WE GOING TO WAAAR?

[@richardadrianhenderson4556]

I thought they would end up with an Erb3

[@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

The great thing about curse words is that they emphasize what you're saying. For example, "I stepped in a pile of dogshit" conveys a lot more emotion and anger than "I stepped in a pile of canine defecation" Swear words can be great to make a good line become great, to add that extra bit of power to it. But when you over-use it, it becomes a "the boy who cried wolf" situation and the words loose that power.

[@glasspaps]

Now that the erb season is over, would you consider doing a Chisel This! on a Bo Burnham song?

[@silverwishes1]

HELL YEAH

[@daltonriser1125]

Using fewer curses in your in your raps is understandable but sometimes that well placed fuck can make a line hit so mich harder

[@justdvn]

I mean it seems like it's just letting off steam. I'm pretty sure if they would stop ERB they would announce it and how they end it with "I need a break, wanna write a song?" if they stop I'm sure it'll just be temporary for now :P

[@zedzoss3205]

When's the next time you're doing a chisel this of fans rap battles. (I'm working on a few right now)

[@xaiblaze]

I interpreted the box as a soap box that "epic lloyd" gets off of

[@lazer_4]

Boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii another chisel this!

[@thisleftylefty]

The final battle? Oh, well, gee whiz I hadn't noticed

[@FlowUrbanFlow]

I think the box was also a soap box thing.

[@Mat4yo]

same thing

[@lipat97]

Great video! First, I would like to point out that the beginning of the song (the part you said was not rap) is indeed a form of rap often referred to as story telling. Examples of this done well include Eminem's song "Stan". Second, I see where you're coming from about the cursing. For the most part they're filler words, and filler anything sounds lazy. However, I think a content creator would be better off cutting out filler lines rather than filler words. Filler lines are the ones that bring you out of the battle, while filler words can be extremely useful at times. However, there is a Kanye album where he makes an artistic decision to cut out certain swear words entirely that I think might interest you. Thirdly, I'm surprised you didn't put muh focus on the tone of the battle. Maybe it had to do with them being actual people rapping (like not characters) but a lot of these lines had me and my friends going "Jesus this is getting personal" esp around the substance abuse parts. It's the first battle I felt that the lines were actually "too strong" at times. I think I should also comment on your discussion of artistic rap vs entertaining song. Imo it's a silly distinction to make, it's like saying flow vs lyrics, if you dont have some semblence of both you need some serious edits. And I feel like erb uses this idea of it needing to be a fun song to include a lot of filler lines. You even mentioned he used that excuse on some of the garbage lines in the Hillary Clinton verse. You would never hear a good rapper say something like that, it's just such an amateurish thing to say. Meanwhile trump's verse was a perfect combination a good rap and a fun song. Lastly, I think it would be easier for you to make remarks, theories, and conclusions on rap and fellow rappers if you were to explore more rap. Having erb as the majority of your rap knowledge is limiting, they arent bad but they're also not GOATs. And listening to goats will give you a better idea of what a peak verse looks like, and give you a better idea of how to break down and build up elite songs.

[@milky7257]

Hey, maybe you could chisel popular songs. I don't usually like the songs played on radio, but maybe they have a deeper meaning within them that will make me appreciate them more.

[@Mat4yo]

they probably don't! haha

[@milky7257]

Yeah, true. Stick to ERB and Internet stuff. XD

[@andrewbianchi1294]

Mat4yo What about a Doomtree song? Lol

[@2Hatzzz]

9:13 But they are mad at each other and that means they will curse

[@Mat4yo]

I'm talking about the amount of it, not its presence

[@thelastgamer1222]

Maybe analyse some individual rappers instead of productions, i.e. Dan Bull, Zach Sherwin, or some of epicLLOYDS and Nice Peters own songs.

[@Mat4yo]

gotcha

[@gookmenhimer]

As far as ERB actually being completely over, for me it doesn't feel all that up in the air. it did say SEASON finale instead of SERIES finale. So I feel like they're just going to take a long break and then come back. It would be unfortunate if they didn't, but at the end of the day it is important to do whatever is best for yourself. And taking a break will probably be very beneficial for the creative juices to start flowing again.

[@Mat4yo]

At the least it will be a long break at the most they're done with it
