Epic Rap Battles of History is an internet series created by Peter Shukoff
and Lloyd Ahlquist. The series features historical and popular fictional and
real-life figures, battling each other through the medium of rap. Battles have
included "Darth Vader vs. Adolf Hitler" and "Abraham Lincoln vs. Chuck Norris".
Some episodes use characters that are fictional, whether it be television or
movie characters, as seen in "Rick Grimes vs. Walter White". Others use
comic book characters, as seen in "Goku vs. Superman". Episodes typically
consist of Nice Peter and EpicLLOYD rapping against each other in character,
but sometimes feature guest stars in addition or replacing Shukoff and
Ahlquist. Occasionally, the pair appear in non-speaking background roles, as in
the episodes "Cleopatra vs. Marilyn Monroe", "Gandhi vs. Martin Luther King
Jr", "Miley Cyrus vs. Joan of Arc", and "Michael Jordan vs. Muhammad Ali".
Shukoff and Ahlquist also contributed a rap battle to the film The SpongeBob
Movie: Sponge Out of Water and performed it with Matt Berry. He also made a cameo
appearance as a surfer dude in the film. Awards and nominations
