User blog:TheMindofMe/Happy 5th Anniversary ERB



The title says all. Since today is September 26th for most of the world (particularly America), it is now the 5-year anniversary of the series known as Epic Rap Battles of History. Five years ago on this very day, Peter Shukoff and Lloyd Ahlquist (now known as Nice Peter and EpicLLOYD) released their very first rap battle video, John Lennon vs Bill O'Reilly. Little did they know, this very video would spark what critics are calling "the most watched web series on YouTube." And it did. Their views skyrocketed immediately after the releases of Darth Vader vs Hitler, Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates, Barack Obama vs Mitt Romney, Blackbeard vs Al Capone, and so much more. And to think, the only reason I came across such a phenomenon was Justin Bieber.

I would like to give a huge thanks to Nice Peter and EpicLLOYD for bringing life to this series. You guys are the reason I know jack about history, and you have changed the way I view battle rapping. I would also like to thank everyone in this Wiki for being friends I can actually talk with about the series. There is no word I can say to describe the true greatness of the Epic Rap Battles of History.

LONG LIVE ERB!!!
