I’ve heard someone mention that the rings in his ear line was a reference to how pirates would wear gold rings on their ears to pay for the funeral if they died far away from home. So Blackbeard saying he has no rings in his ears is him saying hes confident he will survive this battle.

I love how there's an entire B-plot in the background. Al Capone's gangsters bring in crates of booze, Blackbeard's pirates come over and steal it, then the gangsters hire Edward Kenway to kill the pirates and steal it back.

1:26 fun fact: Al Capone showed promise as a student but had trouble with the rules at his strict parochial Catholic school. His schooling ended at the age of 14 after he was expelled for slapping a female teacher in the face.

Fun Fact: Blackbeard's former captain Benjamin I...think Hornigold, Horner or Hornby .. can't recall. Anyway that guy is infamous for stealing hats from enemy or civilian ships instead of loot.

This is objectively one of their best battles that's of high quality and consistent as ever, both in presentation as well as lyricism It's almost flawless I'd say Still pulling through for Austin Powers vs James Bond! Great reaction as always :)

Black Beard for the second vs had some over looked bar. "When I drop you over board like a Mob abomination." Reference to either cement shoes or whole suit. Which used to be a popular way of whacking a guy. "So prepair to learn the Davy Jones locker combination. Means drowning out at sea.

The “slapping teaches” is a double. Capone did indeed assault one of his teachers at school. Also, Blackbeard’s real name was Edward Teach (although Edward Kenway called him Thatch in AC4: Black Flag)

Since you guys are enjoying ERBs may I suggest some other rap battle channels that would make a great reaction. Princess Rap Battles mainly focuses on Disney Princesses like Cinderella vs Belle and Rapunzel vs Anna but has some others like Mrs. Claus vs Mary Poppins and Katniss vs Hermione. The channel Cam Steady used to be known as Video Game Rap Battles and has some excellent songs like Mario vs Sonic, Assassin's Creed vs Hitman, multiple Pokemon rap battles and cyphers, and Anime vs Video Games. Hope this helps and keep up the great work.

Yeah, I agree with your takes and that Blackbeard edged the win, mostly due to his first verse. Second round was a bit weaker overall and Capone just had better wordplay and clowning there, while Blackbeard just brought up STDs again, but the first round clearly goes to Blackbeard for me, too.
@massivegamer52007 ай бұрын
I can see Blackbeard take the first round but I thought it was pretty even plus I like the historical references al Capone had with the teaches line and others plus he called the Queen Anne a sailboat. For me overall I would give it to Capone but it could be a tie really

In the first half, Blackbeard started off great, but Capone just destroyed him. Then Blackbeard wrecked him back and Capone kind of ran out of steam.
