User blog:MrAwesome300/Gandhi vs. MLK Review. (ERB 29)



Yo, everybody, it's time to give my thoughts on Gandhi vs. Martin Luther King, Jr. When I first heard the audio, I hate this battle, clearly despised it. I thought the guest stars, Key and Peele, might have written this one (which I bet they did contribute to) and I thought with their comedic brains, they could have done a lot better with this battle. Plus, without subtitles, I had no idea what Keegan was saying under that thick Indian accent. Everybody else on the wiki loved it, me thinking on the other hand that they were mentally confused between good and bad raps. But then I watched the video. Good at last, good at last, thank God almighty this battle is good at last! The video, for some strange reason, amazed me. Pete and Lloyd used amazing effects in this one, not only making the characters appear in an old film-like background, but also using other great effects. An example of this is when MLK hugged Gandhi, prompting Gandhi to leave his India sanctum to enter MLK's world of Montgomery, Alabama. It looked like the two switched dimensions almost, it was crazy good editing. Another thing I liked is when Gandhi spit out fire from his hands, it looked actually like it was real. I found it to also be creative that Pete and Lloyd put themselves in as protesters, that was unexpectedly cool. So the video made a lot of pros for me and made me actually, well, like it a little. All of the people are allowed to "tell me so" in the comments...

But the battle also had cons still hanging in my brain. Peele perfected the shaky MLK voice, but Gandhi's Indian voice was almost like a stereotype of Indians, almost like Apu from The Simpsons. You can barely hear a word from Gandhi under that accent, but subtitles help. I'm not really bothered by this next con, but where even was MLK in his first verse? It looked like the official podium of Heaven. I kinda expected MLK to be in DC like the "I Have a Dream"speech, but still this setting was fine. Another thing that kinda set me off was the lyrics, which could have been better, but still was a lot more funnier than Adam vs. Eve's lyrics. They didn't have much material to work with in that battle, anyway.

Overall, the battle had some pros and cons but it was definitely a lot better than Adam vs. Eve.

RATING: 8/10 What did you think of the battle! Great! Terrible. Plain okay. I don't know why I'm even reading this, I'm gonna go get a ham sandwich.
