ERB stands for Epic Rap Battles (of History). The idea is simple. Take two or more characters from history or fiction and let them rap against each other. Who wins? Who’s next? You decide! In this video creators took the antagonist from a far away galaxy and the bad guy from World War II and let them do some rap. Warning: Contains dark and twisted humor.

Darth Vader vs Hitler part 1 by Nice Peter

I feel old watching just by watching this video. I can’t believe it will be ten years since the first part of the rap battle between the leader of the Third Reich (Racist, war criminal, methamphetamine addict) and the Darth Vader (former EMO, doesn’t like sand, choke addict). If you don’t know what we’re talking about, you’ve missed interesting part of Youtube history.

 

Making of Darth Vader vs Hitler part 1 music video

The beginnings of ERB were modest, it can be seen in the video, which shows us what was happening behind the scenes at the time. Newer videos show huge audiovisual progress. Still, we don’t think this video should sink. It documents a small, slightly controversial piece from Youtube history.

Hitler vs Vader – part 2 by Epic Rap Battles of History

The second part of the rap battle between Darth Vader and Adolf Hitler is no longer published on the Nice Peter’s channel, but on the new ERB channel. Epic Rap Battles of History gained popularity between the two videos. The new brand therefore makes sense.

The video uploaded on March 8, 2011 illustrates the progress made by the author duo and the team around them.
