User blog:MetalFire/Are Rap Battle Series a rip off of ERB? An Analysis

First off I would like to say rap battle series on Youtube are not rip-off's of ERB. Rap battles are obviously something that ERB didnt invent im sure there have been rap battle postings before they started. Although they have historical icons in their battles, that is a thing that makes them stand out. As things usually get popular other people start taking inspiration like with "Let's Playing" people play the games, but each let's play has something to have as a trademark. Now back to the battles there are 3 channels that I know of who have been accused of copying VGRB, TheInfiniteSource, and ErbParodies. Now these guys are really good at making battles and I follow their work. Now then the deal is that they have taken inspiration from ERB i presume and decided that rap battling would be fun. Besides who are we to tell them what to make and copying is when you take the direct source then credit it as there own. No person i listed earlier have ever done that according to my knowledge. Plus NicePeter doesnt mind these rap battles he even commented on one of VGRB's Vids in 2011. The biggest thing to show that there not copying is InfiniteSource does pure fictional battles, VGRB's is video game battles, and Erb Parodies does both historical and fictional. Long story short its cool to take inspiration from ERB and atleast there not using the same ideas battles or lyrics. Check out those guys they make pretty good content.
