You didn't like it, really? 0_o It's one of my favorites. Not sure who won though.
Well okay, I was a bit harsh. My gripe with Bill Gates was actually pretty minor-namely the completely pointless "Hippy!" bit. Seriously, what did that add to the rap battle other than making Gates look like a dumbass? It was a good battle, I was just expecting it to better. Plus, I thought Hal had exactly 0 really good lines, so his verse felt like a complete waste.

I was also harsh with Cleopatra vs. Marilyn Monroe but the fact that Marilyn had an extra verse-a really bad one, at that-did tick me off.

I think they keep getting progressively worse. But that's just my opinion.

I liked the new one, but I'm not sure who won...HAL's part was bland, so screw him. I think Gates had better insults, but he was also really annoying with his voice. I really liked Jobs' parts, especially his intro when he interrupted the rolecall and brought out the great beat, but when he and Gates went back and forth about their products line-by-line, Jobs was really weak with his insults. But I think Jobs won in the end if only because Gates lost points for sounding incredibly whiny after Jobs died (which was done much better then the Billy Mays one, btw, I hated that rap).

Season 2 is annoying to me because it's all insults that most of the time, don't make sense. Also, looking back at some other battles, I think the beat is better with the older videos.

What do you mean, don't make sense? You mean you don't get the meaning behind them?

I think they should have matched Jobs and Gates a bit better-- Steve was doing well at first, but his insults got weaker as the rap went on. HAL was random, but I would be lying if I said he didn't entertain me.

Overall, this is probably my favorite. (As you can tell, I'm no rap critic.)

Mercury wins. Sinatra really doesn't remind me of...well, Sinatra. '~'

Wasn't a huge fan of this one, honestly. Most of the lines barely rhymed and usually sacrificing that is done for the better good of the humor, but... most of it wasn't really funny to me. :S And I agree, Sinatra sounded nothing like Sinatra.

But even though I didn't like it as a whole, the "Your music is like the soundtrack to a vasectomy" line made me burst out laughing, so Mercury absolutely won for that alone.

Romney vs Obama...
So this is one that's reeeeeally hard to talk about without bias. I mean let's face it, none of us Americans can probably accurately say who really won this battle. Though Romney was acted as horribly as Sinatra and sounded nothing like him. EpicLloyd just isn't too good at playing characters, imo, he's too shouty. :T

...Then Abe Lincoln came in and basically won the whole thing with less than half the time as the others. xD So yeah, Lincoln pretty much dominated.

No. The Abe Lincoln bit was horrible.

No, I loved Obama. Not just because I'm biased an Obama-supporter, but he was extremely well-acted, which made it good. He's the only good part about this video.
