[ REACTION ] Frank Sinatra vs Freddie Mercury Epic Rap Battles of History

[@TheNylter]

Someone in the original's comments said that Frank Sinatra died of Mercury poisoning. Truth there.

[@Musication717]

LOL I love it!

[@carltrotter7622]

He actually died of a heart attack though.

"Bicycle Race" is actually a Queen song, so that's the inspiration for that line.

[@horrordestiny9011]

How is everybody missing the guinea dago part? When Freddie Mercury says “Guinea Dago” he’s referring to Italians as that is 2 slurs for them. And to prove it frank Sinatra then says “I can’t stand a racist”

[@DavidGutierrez-kz9mk]

I didn’t miss that

[@reyniknamyrion3557]

I thought it was a bit weird since Freddie wasn't a racist, but I get that they put it in to set up Frank's Sammy Davis line.

[@tafua_a]

That's the only line I didn't like in Freddie's rap

[@sbird8675]

@@reyniknamyrion3557 Yeah I didn't think that line made any sense, especially since Freddie himself wasn't white. I think they did it mostly because it sounded a bit like the famous "Galileo" line from Bohemian Rhapsody, and as you said, set up Frank's Sammy Davis line.

[@OoKlush]

So glad you found the rabbit hole of ERB, I'll probably be spending a couple hours of my life watching your reactions...I'd reccomend Cleopatra vs Marilyn Monroe, it's brutal 😏

[@voxelarc7378]

Don't want to sound like a dick but there's so many insane ones out there he hasn't done and you suggest that one :/

[@OoKlush]

@@voxelarc7378 based off his reactions, especially Freddy vs Wolverine, he seems to really like killer lines, that's why I suggested it.

"Because my songs have balls, *THEY'RE THE ANTHEMS OF VICTORY!!* " ...Has got to be one of the verses that made me the most hype in ERB via the way it's said alone, with that heroic beat to boot!

Man that’s one of my top erb lines

[@CallofFreaky]

Freddie doing what he does

[@jacobboyce3954]

“You’re the least talented pack in your whole pack of rodents” I think frank was in a group called the rat pack I know I’m super late but

[@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283]

He was along Sammy Davis junior and Dean Martin

[@jasonkreider8954]

Don't forget Peter Lawford and Joey bishop

[@jasonkreider8954]

Frank Sinatra was the leader of the group

[@reno145]

@@jasonkreider8954 And he was the least talented. Give me Sammy Davis, Jr. any day.

[@kyaria8888]

I thought it was because the rat in the movie SING sang franks song but then again this battle was before that lol.

[@xWhiTzZy]

Most underrated line of the rap is “your just a bully who’s afraid to go to war” it’s rumoured that he payed his way out of service to avoid joining the army

[@BloodyBay]

You're not biased, man! Freddy Mercury did indeed flatten Frank Sinatra in this rap battle! And "So kiss my ass, Frankie, but you'll have to wait in line" was as solid as the Hope Diamond. :-)

[@charlottewalnut3118]

To be fair that line of people trying to get his ass is exactly why he died the way he did well that and not using condoms

[@FilthAndRuin]

so one of my favorites is Alexander The Great vs Ivan the Terrible. The end just is just... the best.

[@dannythemysterious8221]

The way it flows is one of the best

[@prestonjones1653]

Would you say it's... Great?

[@alreadyblack3341]

Pompey's verse is actually the best part.

[@Wilsbourne]

I wouldn't say the end verse in that battle is my favourite one of the battle, but I definitely like it. And that battle is amazing.

[@FilthAndRuin]

@@Wilsbourne for me it was this moment of *finally* they had a really good female rapper/vocalist. It felt like all the ones before that were just... Garbage.

[@i8granola]

Freddie was a boxer when he was younger! Knock out!

[@thisismagacountry1318]

I thought he was a catcher.

[@carltrotter7622]

So was Frank Sinatra.

[@aztecwrrior1997]

I did not know that

[@iamReddington]

"I' m more powerful than you and I'm wearing women's pants." Just ded, drop the mic.

[@saltyark7564]

I’m biased to Freddie as well, frank had some really good hits but Freddie did kill it, frank actually hit himself in the mouth with his colored and queer line.

[@jeffk.9075]

Freddie ended it with "Your the least talent rat in your whole pack of rodents." Bow down.

[@jonrd9214]

Rash Stat Freddie Destroyed Sinatra

[@Destin5258]

@Scott Whatever Absolutely, and not long before Sinatra's time it was actually most pc to call african americans negroes, of course that is sort of the opposite today but it shows how language evolves over time and you cant judge every work in history by todays standards when it comes to diction used.

[@zeframmann1641]

@@Destin5258 You should both stop embarrassing yourselves.

[@Destin5258]

Freddie is the goat

[@poushalic7935]

Correct... correct...CORRRRRREECTTT

[@deborahcornell171]

Did you notice the "We Will Rock You" stomp-clap beat? And that the outro was a little homage to Freddie's "call & response" he loved to do? I love their attention to detail! And of COURSE Freddie won! Champion of the world in real life and parody! Btw, I don't think you've done a reaction to "Bicycle Race" (which was referenced in this battle). You should include it in your next Queen reaction, along with "Dead On Time" and Brian May singing the blues in "Sleeping On the Sidewalk".

[@tayganhope1292]

"I didn't leave a mark on history, I French Kissed it", now that is the premise for a very interesting debate on who was more influential on the current state of music, as many would probably, there are great points for both

Watching someone else go through ERB’s battles for the first time always puts a smile on my face!

[@vsgfilmgroup]

I'm gonna call this one a draw. "You played butthole roulette" was a clear devastator from Sinatra, but when Mercury comes back with "I French-kissed it", that's scorched earth on both sides.

Totally random suggestion... but since you seem to like that sports-like intro... ever heard "Jock Jams"? It incorporates sports quotes like 'Let's get ready to rumble' with (mostly) 90's dance songs and sports-hits type songs. It's nostalgia in song form, bro. Back in the mid-90's, it got serious radio play. Edit: searching "Jock Jams" will def bring the song up.
