My Top 50 Best ERB Verses of All Time

[@FatherTime89]

Somehow Lloyd dropping his accent in Ruth's second verse just makes it more awesome. Like Ruth is getting so pissed it's changing the way he talks.

[@thatdude2508]

I feel like what makes that verse so good is the line about forgetting what real sportsmanship was. There was literally no coming back from that

Ironically enough, that battle is my favorite ERB ever, so I was actually contemplating on whether or not to put a majority of its verses on here, though I didn’t want to make this video contain multiple verses from the same battles too many times lol. As for Catherine's verse, I actually think it's either the most or 2nd most well written verse for the entire battle, but the singing kinda ruins it as an actual verse for me, unfortunately. Still, it should still be pretty close to being on the top 50 if I were to make an extended version.

Only way this list could have been better is if you’d given Romeo and Juliet a spot on it.

"wheres romeo? oh nomeo!"

[@kenjid.guzman1170]

True. That one is my bad lol. I actually missed it by accident. Otherwise, easy top 25 for me.

Thors last verse from the Thor vs Zeus rap battle deserves to be in this video.

ERB is classified as comedy on Apple Music. It’s meant to be cringey.

HOW IN THE FUCK ARE YOU GONNA PUT THE ARTISTS IN THE MENTIONS their bars go hard as fuck

[@kenjid.guzman1170]

Because tbh, I made this vid a little early and ended up putting it like 10-15 spots earlier than it should've been. I think if I were to remake this list, I'd have it as high as 35. It goes pretty hard despite it lacking any good disses though, which was why had it ranked low in the first place.

[@pontlegs9652]

I clicked off the video when I saw Artists verse at 53. Ain’t no way there are 52 verses better than that, it’s possibly the greatest verse in ERB history

[@kenjid.guzman1170]

Should've read description then. So many idiots in my comments lmao. I would rank it higher though if I were redoing this list, but the artists verse is a little too overrated. I had it ranked low in the first just because it had little to no good disses.

Ash (Verse 2) was absolutely amazing, and also both verse threes

[@ajysuperfly7788]

top five bars/lines IMO: #1 Cleopatra: you lost so many babies we should call you Miss carriage #2 Superman: There's only one way this battles gonna end, one more superman who's never gonna walk again #3 Clint Eastwood: I'd beat you in round 2 but that'd be unbelievable because None in your family ever lived to see a sequel #4 Walter White: None saw Shane coming, except for your wife #5(this ones a bit longer because its several lines technically): Mansa Musa: Now let me really break it down because there's more to him, He ain't a Bezos, his real name is Jorgensen, hah, but daddy love unicycles more than him, so he rolled out, now that's a blue origin

some close ones were Sigmund Freud "Thank imaginary god I wasn't in one of your beds, you would've just sprinkled magic water on my forehead," Ash Ketchum "the only thing your winning, is your cousins gene pool, you lost 3 children, when they were still small, TB and Scarlet Fever, gotta catch them all!" Charles Darwin "and it was hard losing my daughters and their brother, as hard as the wood oak gave your mother," and Thor "you can keep your astronomers, I'll sail with the conquerors, for thousands of kilometers discovering the continents

I'm surprised they didn't add Mighty Morphin Michael Vic That line was hard

[@hylind1912]

Babe Ruth's verse is the best because it's filled with such raw emotion and rage. Like, Babe Ruth is genuinely upset that someone could ever be so unsportsmanlike as to cheat.
