November 9, 2022 10:46 AM

Scru Face Jean reviews Epic Rap Battles of History (107 videos). I'm having some fun going through these videos. Unlike other reactions that don't bring much added value, Scru Face Jean has a detailed knowledge of rap battles and notes style choices and other moments throughout each battle -- while still enjoying them as well.

I don't have much to say except I love me some Epic Rap Battles of History. They really managed to keep the quality high over the years - they are not all classics but even the lesser battles have a few great lines.

My favorite ERBOH episode was Stan Lee vs. Jim Henson. Biting cultural commentary that's hilarious, heartwarming, and sad. I go back and watch it regularly. I may go watch it again now before watching the review.

OK, that review was awesome, and it made me see some things I never noticed before, so good job.

My favorite is Thanos vs. Oppenheimer. The portrayal of Oppenheimer chilling, and his lines very witty.

My favorite is Sir Isaac Newton vs. Bill Nye, ft. Neil deGrasse Tyson. Weird Al Yankovic as Sir Isaac Newton? C'mon.

I love how much energy he brings into these reactions. I know next to nothing about the mechanics of rap battles but his breakdowns are fantastic and fun.

Yes, I started to feel like he was sitting in the room with me instead of on the other side of the screen.
