I liked this one. :(

I loved the use of the "New York to Japan" stock phrase.

I thought this one was okay; not as good as Hawking vs. Einstein or Beiber vs. Beethoven, but it was still entertaining.

For the record the best suggestion I've seen submitted was Ghandi vs. Malcolm X. I really want to see that one.

I think the Easter Bunny should have been paired up with Santa Claus and Genghis Khan with Alexander the Great, but that's just me.

I think Genghis Khan won by the way.

The thing about making witty signature lines is that it first needs to actually be witty.

I love these things. Probably my favorite current Youtube thing. Shame there's only around one per month, though that it's probably for the better.

While I love these, I think I'm a bigger fan of the picture songs.

Probably the most entertaining use of the "Hitler reacts" meme I've seen.

That was pretty awesome. More than I can say for Epic Rap Battle #8.

"I'm about to bake raps from scratch like Carl Sagan" is my favorite line, I think.

I liked the "posse of peeps" line. The rest was...underwhelming.

Epic video update of news:

If you caught that little clip about special guests...that's right, Will Smith is hinted to appear in an upcoming video. This ought to be interesting.

Still not as good as Einstein vs. Hawking or Bieber vs. Beethoven.

That was a close one.

I'm gonna go with Ben for the "Nails in the Coffin" reference.

Hmm, not bad. Except until Billy Mays died. That was... unnecessary. He's rap battling against a much deader guy, and I have no idea who the replacement is, so he can't possibly be adequate.

"Death of a Salesman" was clever. Didn't know what the coffin was referring to. ... Actually, I still don't. What is it referencing?

Speaking of references.

"I'm about to bake raps from scratch like Carl Sagan" is my favorite line, I think.
Can you explain it to me? I'm obviously missing the joke.

Think it's a reference to this quote from Sagan himself:

“If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.”

Yeah, they've definitely Shown Their Work.

Yeah, that was kind of in poor taste.

The guy who replaced him was Vince Offer.

The coffin line is a reference to the Eminem/Benzino feud.
