 * 1) Robocop /Terminator. 9.5/10 - This battle was exceptional. A classic Peter/Lloyd battle, with great visuals, awesome beat, good length, and above all, sharp and funny lines!
 * 2) Spielberg/ Hitchcock /Tarantino/Kubrick/Bay. 9.5/10 - Another exceptional battle. Hitchcock won for certain. If Kubrick's part wasn't such a low point, this would be an easy 10, and the best battle of the season.
 * 3) Lao Tzu & Sun Tzu & Confucius /Nietzsche & Socrates & Voltaire - 9.5/10 Very cool dynamic with all rappers turning to face one another near the end. Mediocre beat, and too few references to their individual philosophies.
 * 4) Houdini/ Copperfield . 9/10 - Good matchup, great lines, well put-together. Houdini's voice in the first verse and the heart monitor in the beat are irritating, but otherwise a solid battle.
 * 5) Zeus/ Thor . 8/10 - Cool Lego animation, great lines, good beat, lots of content. Not the biggest fan of the matchup, and I don't find myself rewatching this battle as much as I watch others.
 * 6) Lewis & Clark /Bill & Ted. 7/10 - Only real complaint is that Bill and Ted are not ERB material. The battle is surprisingly good, despite the poor choice of contestants. Lewis and Clark deserve to be in a battle... just not against Bill and Ted.
 * 7) Ghostbusters/ Mythbusters . 5/10 - Started off incredibly strong, then proceeded to deflate after the Mythbuster's first verse. So many useless characters in this battle.
 * 8) Romeo & Juliet /Bonnie & Clyde. 4/10 - Terrible beat, weak flow, very little rewatch factor in my eyes. Some quality lines, but nothing great. In a similar sense to #6: Romeo and Juliet deserve to be in a battle... just not against Bonnie and Clyde.
 * 9) Oprah /Ellen. 3/10 - Very little about this battle is good. Matchup is good, but that's about it. Weak lines for both rappers.
 * 10) Jack the Ripper/Hannibal Lecter. 2/10 - Extreme closeup Lecter shots make me uncomfortable, I don't like the beat, Jack's lines were aimless, NEITHER rapper is ERB material (so little is known about Jack!). I don't think either character won, it was a tie for worst. This battle, paired with the Oprah/Ellen and Romeo & Juliet/Bonnie & Clyde battle, almost made me lose faith in ERB. However, with a string of g ood battles afterwards, my faith is very much alive.
