Talk:Epic Rap Battles of History 58/@comment-5412428-20150813170642/@comment-26778771-20150814020453

An excellent topic. Let me throw in my two cents.

Tesla vs Edison. They made Edison into a grouchy crook, a villain. They made Tesla into a victim, and an unsung hero. Neither of these are historically accurate. Edison was a kind businessman with an incredible mind, who sometimes treated people unfairly. Tesla was a kind inventor with an incredible mind, who also sometimes treated people unfairly.

Armstrong vs Ruth. Not biased, per se, but a smackdown unlike anything we've seen before or since. King/Poe and Bieber/Beethoven fall in this same category.

Obama/Romney. If the politics of the ERB writers are to be gleaned from their work, look at the lines. Romney is, and all quotes, "a vicious businessman", "not gonna let this battle be dictated by facts", "rich!... got fat stacks and super PACS". Abraham Lincoln somehow "wants to like" Obama, while Romney gets the "businessman" treatment. They portrayed Romney as childish, and Obama as classy. BIased.

Mercury/Sinatra. Another battle with a "douche" versus and "underdog". They gave Sinatra NO material, and let Mercury go last. They portrayed Mercury as a triumphant character, while Sinatra was a rich douchebag. Biased indeed.

Notice how all mentioned rappers with bias rap last.

That's all I have to say. If anyone reads all of that, thanks.
