    • @fritzy8318
      @fritzy8318 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      He’s trying an ACTUAL one. The Hitler one was highly exaggerated because it was meant to be insulting to Hitler himself. No one is going to take imitating a legit German accent for playing fucking Hitler when it’s a parody. For anyone else probably gonna really try unless that person was just as shitty as him.

      @denniskrenz2080 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +37

      Well Hitlers public speeches sounds exagerated and cartoony even to Germans, its easy to make a parody of this recipe. In private, even Hitler did not talk like that. And German has so many dialects, you could make up any faux dialect and still legimatly claim its imitating German. Just watch "Das Boot" (in German) and you get through a very good collection of dialects.

    I actually think Henry Ford vs Karl Marx was the best battle you guys have ever done. The raps hit incredibly hard, the historical references were incredible, production was off the charts. So many lines had double meanings, when you break down the entire battle it really encourages you to actually learn the history so you can appreciate the depth of the writing. And the whole thing sounds sick. Incredible!

    I never watched one of these BTS videos before. But I had to since Ford v Marx just got into my head and I needed to know more. I gotta say, the amount of research and work you all put into these videos is incredible. It's always been obvious that y'all work your asses off but to see what goes into the production really brings it home. No wonder your content has been so good for so long! Shit, Lloyd is over here learning an extinct Prussian accent so he can have a unique sound for a guy whose voice was literally never recorded. Not to mention learning all these obscure facts to actually write the raps.

    Love the battle - and, as always, the Behind The Scenes! One small thing: Karl's birthplace Trier lies in the far west of Germany (directly on the border with Luxembourg) and only became part of Prussia in 1816 (2 years before Marx was born), more or less as a Prussian conquest after the Napoleonic Wars. His accent was therefore Rhinelandic/Moselle-Franconian, not Prussian (which was in the far east). However, it probably sounded quite similar to English ears, so it still fits ^^

      ⁠​⁠​⁠@@Yea___ you’re being really fallacious and historically ignorant if you look at history in a vacuum.
      Saying that ‘communism’ is bad because people tried it and that’s it, is just denying factors or reasons to have played in a part.
      Communism has never been tried, the building of a socialist coalition has, it never was able to flourish due to the horrible conditions of the world. The USSR was built on the October revolution in a backwater severely underdeveloped country. Tsarist russia was very poor and very uneducated on mass. After the revolution, the communist party had to on mass try its best to educate the majority of the population and start local and state funded farms. Which worked well for the most part aside from the famine, due to crop failure and miscommunication. Stalin didn’t help too much with his relief efforts being stifled with his efforts to contain the information. (This is very very gross simplification of the eastern USSR famine)
      The USSR had very little allies, a bloody revolution. A famine, and world war 2, which they took on 3/4ths of the Nazi army on the eastern front. Then sanctions from 30+ countries and the western world funding death squads and color revolutions aka the white army. Then the US making nuclear weapons forcing the USSR to arm itself, the USSR tried to deescalate the arms race. This costed them so many resources.
      But despite this, the USSR was able to nearly triple the literacy rate, raise the standard of living by 32 years. Stopped the homelessness until the dissolution of the USSR(which was illegal) 1991.

    As a Marxist, it's always interesting to me to see the various ways people come to actually reading Marx instead of just believing whatever they've heard about him. Researching him in order to write a rap for a rap battle video is certainly one of the more interesting ways I've heard lmao. But I'm glad y'all did.

      Marxism requires a certain level of interest, too little and you just believe the common consensus that he was a nutcase. Too much interest and you actually read his work to discover he was a nutcase with a savior complex.

      "As a Marxist".
      Marxism, in Cambodia, killed 25% of the population; in URSS, did the Holodomor, a Holocaust that killed, indeed, more than the Nazi Holocaust; In China, killed almost 50 million.
      Congratulations, you support an ideology that killed more than nazism. Every teacher who says bad stuff about Marx, is correct.

    Hey Peter and Lloyd- please read!
    Heres a suggestion for the next Epic Rap Battle:
    The long awaited President Nixon who attempted to hold onto power by cheating and forced to release it versus Cincinnatus- the Roman Senator who didn't desire absolute power, wanted to work and keep to his farm, but after many people begged him to save them he took power temporarily, secured their independence, and willing relinquished & refused absolute power twice after completing his duty.
    Everyone thinks about the Roman Empire guys remember.. and you've wanted to do Nixon for a long time. It's the perfect matchup.
    You should do Richard Nixon (The Crook[-ed politician] & The Liar) vs Cincinnatus (The Relenquisher [of power] & Truth Teller)
