Awesome / Zach Sherwin

Go To

This guy is an absolute master at wordplay and an excellent, underrated rapper.

  • Naturally, his contributions to ERB, but in battles such as "Stephen King vs Edgar Allan Poe", "Eastern Philosophers vs Western Philosophers", and "Alexander the Great vs Ivan the Terrible", he gets to show off a Motor Mouth almost, if not, on par with George Watsky.
    • Also, him joining EpicLloyd in verbally destroying bullies in an episode of Dis Raps For Hire.
  • “No E” with Watsky. An entire song without using the letter E.
  • "Grit and Grin" involves Zach rapping and a friend beatboxing with their mouths frozen in a smile. He even successfully points out how he didn't do it through editing tricks of any kind by showing his throat moving.
  • The fact that Zach can include messages in his songs without ever being Anvilicious about it.
  • His many boasts in "F-Bombs".
    • "I wanna show you things from my perspective, because I'm in effect, and you're ineffective!"
    • "Step to me, you'll get stepped on! You belong in Battle Rap Musical, with Zach Efron!"
    • "Haters take your last breath. You'll get an A for effort, but your final grade? F!"
    • Then, he goes back and runs the verse over again, but with the titular f-bombs inserted. It's that much more effective because of how this guy doesn't usually swear.
    Haters bring beef til I feel like I'm being smothered in heifers!
    You need to stop fucking with me, motherfuckers!
    • And then he proceeds to go on a rampage, openly harming a mob of haters.
  • In "Letter C", Zach imagines what it would be like if only he'd had a comeback to a heckler after a show. He imagines just ripping into him.
  • Zach's song "Drop Bars" is just him having a conversation with himself (well, actually, three of himself) about the responsibility he has as a songwriter and performer in terms of the topics he covers in his songs. He eventually realizes that he should be proud of whatever songs he puts out, regardless of how trivial the topic may seem.
