![A Comedy Musician Reacts | Godzilla vs King Kong. Epic Rap Battles of History [REACTION/ANALYSIS]](/img/n.gif)
"from the depths of the sea". first line in snoop DOGg's "Who am I." truly enjoy your vids.
55 seconds ago?
Y'know erb's a true fan when even they get here faster than us LOL
The color orange vs the color green when?
already working on it @@bobherobrine3415
After hearing it back, it was almost blatant. Thanks for doing what your team does 🙏🏾
20:25
The "Shin" of godzilla is wordplay on the movie "Shin Godzilla" Shin is Japanese means "God" or "Deity" basically calling the Godzilla of that movie a higher being.
He's simultaneously saying "you can't measure up to be physically or spiritually"
MORE up!
and "Shin Godzilla" was a terrifying reimagining of the kaiju's origin.
"kami" means God
"Shin" means "True" or "New" in Japanese. It was "Shin Godzilla" because it was a new take on the chaaracter, that wasn't connected to the original 1954 film.
Godzilla/ Gojira is a mix of the words "Gorira" (Gorilla) and "kujira" (Whale)..
@@davidfoord3164 Damn I got it mixed, still the bar fits with the double meaning.
I adore the concept of Shin Godzilla so it made me a lil upset he didn't get that one-
8:59 it was originally suppose to be king Kong vs Frankenstein at first but the movies left RKO's and went to To-Ho's and replace Frankenstein with godzilla
10:43 Godzilla's first line in the battle about being in the bottom of the sea is a snoop dogg song reference
For those who don't know, that's why King Kong had lightning powers in the movie.
"In 1933, Giuseppe Zangara attempted to kill then President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt but injured and killed Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak. He was convicted of Cermak's murder and sentenced to death. Due to Florida law, an inmate could not be housed in a cell with an inmate who was awaiting execution so a prisoner awaiting execution was to be held in a separate waiting cell. Raiford Prison, where Zangara was being held, already had one prisoner waiting in their "death cell" so the waiting area was expanded to a row of cells, becoming a "Death Row"- from wikipedia. The original king kong movie was also made in 1933.
Excellent research sir 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That is some insane attention of detail, holy-!
Also, yeah, good job for finding that out!
Literally as old as death row
Now THAT'S thorough!
Holy shit that is amazing!
I love how literally every reaction takes that Jack Black bar so personally.
jack black is awesome, so it's no surprise, is godzilla weakest verse because being on the same cast with jack black is obviously something on anyone's favour, not against them.
@@SuperKiobi13i think godzilla meant joke as in jack black being a comedian rather then a straight up diss but I wouldn't be surprised if it was intended to be one
@@PoomiestPoom It wasn't On another reaction channel they comment that it wasn't meant as a diss to jack black
@@Chronicaly-DisAbled yup i saw that comment, it was literally just a you had a comedian in your movie cause its a joke and not a diss against jack but admittedly the phrasing did make it strongly sound like it was intended to me a diss at jack
King Kong will NOT tolerate Godzilla delivering such a low blow to the King of Koopas!
The Double Bass line was because the roar sound effect was made by rubbing a glove covered in sap over a doublebass which made that screech.
24:56 Code blue is a person expiring (present tense) from asphyxiation. They’re running out of air. Add that into the bar, and the heat and fuel make that certified fire, thanks to the oxygenation.
Dunno if anyone's said it, but the 'called a mammal to nurse your films back to health... ' lol... a funny reference to mammals lactation 'nursing' their young.
6:43 It wasn't just Donkey Kong. Yes, Donkey means "stubborn" or "ass", but also, in 1983, Universal, (the company behind King Kong at the time, now a Warner Bros. property), attempted to sue Nintendo over allegations that DK was trademark infringement, but ended up losing the case. Not only did they lose, but the court found a King Kong game that Universal licensed was actually in violation of Nintendo's copyrights. Thus Nintendo "making an ass" out of Universal and the King Kong franchise. At least 40 years later, both Universal and Nintendo wound up collaborating with Super Nintendo World at Universal's Theme Parks, and working on the Mario movie (and possibly more Nintendo movies) together as a way of saying "No hard feelings."
And the lawyer who successfully argued that case on Nintendo's behalf was the late, great John Kirby. The character Kirby is named in his honor. He was also instrumental in getting the Voting rights law of 1965 passed.
Edit: Fixed which Kirby it was.
@@goofusmaximus1482 Yup, nice tribute there.
That triple entendre ghidorah bar from Godzilla was insane. First it was a rebuttal to Kong's "What's Kraken?" bar since there is a comic out there where he destroys the Kraken. "...The beast the beast from 20000 FATHOMS couldn't FATHOM." Then he took out Iron Man, Thor and Destroyah (destroy ya), and then took out Ghidorah with his 3 heads. Just a whole bunch of triples on triples. The cherry on top was rapping that in triple time. Kong ain't recovering from this.
Iron Man and Thor can also be Ferrum and Thorium, and it goes back to his “Oh you shouldn't try to talk about the atom...”. And also, the "Bigger than Bridges" a reference to Godzilla's iconic scene when he's next to the Golden Gate Bridge, but also, Jeff Bridges was in the 1976 King Kong but it has mixed reviews and he also played in the movie The Big Lebowski, which is what he's more well known to than his role in the King Kong movie. Godzilla is CRAZY!!!
The sign language part means that he's smarter than godzilla on communication.
It’s also apparently a reference to a comedian who did a bit where he talked about being tired of getting stuck in convos with stupid ppl, and suggested they all get signs saying they’re stupid
Bill Engval!@@devvintidwell1243
The oxyegen destroyer was also used in the first movie to kill godzilla.
Mechani kong existed in 1967 from the movie King Kong Escapes, which was made by toho when they still had liscensing rights after making the 1963 King Kong vs Godzilla.
Kong was rappin’, no doubt, but I feel G-zilla had better battle bars.
Also, Eminem had a track called Godzilla, so the layer deepens there.
~_~
It's a close margin but I also believe Gojira won too, he came with full assault. Although, Kong's rebuttal is nasty. Speaking of Eminem, “You ain't a Rap Godzilla, more like prey to me.” is one of his nasty rebuttal.
Yeah, it ain't like Kong had nothing for sure
~_~@@scottjameson5358
Code blue refers to a medical emergency, Kong's basically saying Godzilla is going to need CPR
To understand how bad Pacific Rim 2 is just think of it like this, there’s a strong amount of the fanbase that says there is no sequel. That’s how bad it was
There's no santa, no easter bunny and no pacific rim 2
I didn't even know there was a sequel until I heard this erb...
Sounds like the Eragon and Last Airbender movies...
Sounds like Highlander
there is no war in ba sing se.
The Jussie Smollett line deserves to be in the Top 10 best disses, if not top 5, in ERB
9:13
Willis O' Brien, the animator on King Kong, wanted to do a direct sequel called King Kong vs Frankenstein, but after he struggled to find actual distribution, he ended up going to Toho and they replaced Frankenstein with Godzilla.
Frankenstein vs. Baragon
As a bonafide Godzilla junkie (complete with $2k in Godzilla tattoos), the references in this battle were absolutely not the casual, wiki-researched material I was expecting. There were some DEEP cuts. The “ass-brain” line was a reference to Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2 where they tried to kill him by destroying a secondary brain in the lower spine. The “you didn’t get cooler in the 90’s” was partly a reference to the ‘98 film (as evidenced by the Ferris Bueller bar) but was ALSO a reference to Godzilla vs Destoroyah in ‘94 where he died by melting down (supported by the “destroy ya” line). The “recycled crap like All Monsters Attack” might have been the deepest cut though. Also called “Godzilla’s Revenge”, it was probably the weakest entry because of Minilla but ALSO because of the heavy use of stock footage. This battle was 100% written by another lifelong Godzilla fan, there’s no doubt in my mind.
Godzilla now is the king of rap😂😂😂
Mans spitting atomic bars
Rap God-Zilla. lol
@@UltimateGamerCC King Kong references this lol
These Godzilla bars were amazing. ERB does amazing raps
The first movie where Kong fights Godzilla was in 1962. Kong won, and the original script had Kong fighting a giant Frankenstein instead of Godzilla.
sort of. If you got the Japanese version, Godzilla wins. Kong only won in the American version.
@@seasickviking nope, Kong was already 20-30 years old at that time and GvsK was Godzilla's 3rd movie, first L vs another kaiju... plus the scrapped sequel starts out with Godzilla dead for first half
the roles were reversed during writing but they kept the lightning from Frankenstein to keep Kong on equal grounds
Frankenstein vs. Baragon
@@papatschida8519 You misunderstood him. The movie had two different endings. One for the Asian market where Godzilla wins and another one where Kong wins
"You're whole suit's a big rubber."
Rubber is a euphemism for a condom.
King Kong is calling Godzilla a giant condom with that diss.
for me the jussie smollet bar did it.
"Mind keep up with mine" line is a reference to the King Vs Godzilla original movie where a scientist on the news talks about Kong's big brain and Godzillas Nut sized brain.
its also a reference to reality. where monkeys are usually smart enough to learn sign language
28:27 Full Haiku is 5 - 7 - 5 syllables:
Damn I despise you (5)
You make weak tokusatsu (7)
Soft like some tofu (5)
Fire!
"Code blue" is a hospital announcement that means an adult is having a medical emergency, usually cardiac or respiratory arrest.
The "Ass-brain" part is a reference to Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla II (1992), where it's established that Godzilla has a second brain where his tail connects to his hips to control the lower half of his body.
Someone else caught that! Nice! Did you catch the “recycled crap like All Monsters Attack” reference?
@@pinhead61187 of course, I'm a bona-fied Showa stan lmao
@@GamerMinillaHeisei fanboy here lmfao. Am I the only one who thinks that SOMEONE on the ERB team is a g-fan? These cuts were waaaaaaay too deep for the usual wiki-skimming research.
He literally acknowledges this in the video lmao?
The Frankenstein reference is that in the original Godzilla vs King Kong, the movies script was originally going to be King Kong vs Frankenstein, but after securing the rights to Kong, they were unable to obtain the rights to Frankenstein's Monster. So the elements of the movie like the lightning striking Kong to revive him were originally meant for Frankenstein, got given to Kong and they put Godzilla in the movie. This is also why Kong won the fight, cause he was supposed to triumph over Frankenstein's Monster.
Ishiro Honda, the director of the original 1954 Gojira film
I love when you react to these. You're so knowledgeable but still understand and appreciate hip hop. It's like the best of both worlds❤
Ey you do you but Godzilla toasted Kong I’m sorry man, great reaction tho love the breakdowns
One reference you might have missed is "rubbing on a double bass." The original filmmakers used the strings of a double bass to create the sound effect for what would eventually become Godzilla's iconic roar.
And you're mostly correct about the Frankenstein reference. There was an old Toho movie where Godzilla fought a giant Frankenstein monster, but when the plans for the sequel fell through, they swapped the Frankenstein monster out for King Kong (who gets a power-up from electricity, due to a carry-over from the original script). This also led to a spin-off/sequel movie, "War of the Gargantuans."
i think the death row line refers to kong actual age in the movies as he is 100s of years old at the point where humans meet him in the 20s-30s and the first usage of a death row in a prison was in 1834 making king kong older than death row
4:39 Technically, it’s a portmanteau of a city with a portmanteau of two brands. Tokyo, and Yoplait, which was named because of a merger of French dairy co-ops, and they combined “Yola” and “Coplait” to make “Yoplait.” (There were more co-ops, but they went for the more well-known ones.)
King Kong vs. Godzilla was originally written as a King Kong vs. a giant Frankenstein, he's calling 'zilla a replacement.
and "as old as death row" refers to the prison concept, not the label, nice little double
For the death row line im pretty sure that death row itself became a thing around the 30s. Before that the death sentence was less common so they didn't need to hold people until a certain time and day to carry out the sentence.
To add on to that, didn’t Snoop Dogg also sign with Death Row Records?
ERB came back to their roots with this one, making some fuckin BARS with serious subjects😂
thankfully they got out from under Disney when they owned Maker Studios before the Woke crisis 😅
No, that Jesse Smollett line... done lmmfao! COOKED buehahah, that got me
34:15
Yeah, but that axe’s axehead is literally one of Godzilla’s dorsal plates, so Kong can’t really talk about how mighty he is with the axe while in a rap battle with Zilla, because Zilla is the reason he has the axe in the first place.
"Heres your Sign."
Bll Engvall's signature punchline for stupid people.
And King Kong said "Heres your Sign" in sign language.
Just caught on to that! LOL
Maybe "Sea G" refers to there being a Kraken that looked better in CG (Sea G) than Godzilla did in a recent movie?
Also interesting that King Kong gives a shoutout to the Kraken, since they were both stop-motion monsters. Think they were made by the same guy too.
Team ATOMIC LIZARD all the way!!!!
Bigger than "Bridges" refers to Jeff Bridges who was in the 76'KingKong ;)
25:22 - The oxygen destroyer was used in the 1954 film.
24:52
Code Blue usually means in hospitals, as I believe different “company” hospitals have different codes, that a patient’s heart has stopped beating and that they aren’t breathing, therefore oxygen can not be delivered to the different parts of the body, and so on and so forth.
Great breakdown. I still haven't seen anyone catch when Godzilla spits about his voice with the glove on a bass guitar. That's how the well-known Godzilla roar/scream was discovered.
Easy W for Godzilla. That first verse dominated, and King never recovered.
29:34 Ok, well-thought out, but you missed a (damn) spot. MechaGodzilla was far more popular than MechaniKong. He’ll outdo the mechanization premise of the Kong franchise. With that, I’m out.
He also beat Mechani Kong in the manga
27:04 Not just could sound how his voice / noise was, the OG Godzilla's roar WAS made on a double bass (also using a leather glove coated in pine tar for friction lol)
“The 90’s didn’t make you any cooler” absolutely is a reference to the ‘98 film. HOWEVER, Godzilla flipped that entirely by including the “destroy ya” line in the follow up verse. Godzilla vs Destoroyah was the final film in the heisei series, in which Godzilla was fatally melting down while being the strongest incarnation he’s ever been. What a flip.
As much as people enjoy Kong, I remind them he's had 13 films and made 1.2b total across them all. Godzilla on the other hand has had 38 movies and almost 2b.
Rap wise Kong has the advantage because Godzilla has more to choose from. Kong has only a few things, not to mention his movies are generally the same story repeated.
That´s not really helpful. That means Godzilla made triple in medi format but still not even made double for all that income wise compared to King Kong? Ouch.
@@embran8486 To be fair most of Godzillas movies weren't in America on release.
@@ThatShyGuyMatt True. Also revenue on merch wise Godzilla absolutely stumps King Kong! I mean they say income from otaku is 3% of Japanese economy so I imagine Gojira maybe hundred times more there.
Yeah, the first verse alone smoked Kong.
"Code Blue" is actually a medical/hospital reference for when a patient heart stops beating........
Mechani-Kong did exist. He was in King Kong Escapes.
19:17
Yeah, I can see why Gojira could handle actually housing the atomic breath, as Gojira was pretty much turned into an organic living nuclear reactor, so naturally he would evolve to not only be able to be unaffected by the ill effects of radiation, but also be able to be “supercharged” by additional radiation. Kong on the other hand only fucking lives because of plot armor.
Another reference you missed was when Rampage was brought up (i think it was in Godzillas first verse if not KK's), it was referencing what you mentioned but it was also referencing a movie that came out in about 2018ish which Dwayne Johnson starred in where he befriended a large very king kongescque Gorilla
29:35
Possibly a reference to the fact he can reduce Kong to atoms, so therefore out of existence, you can see where that kinda ties in.
Godzilla won in the box office and in this rap
Code Blue in a hospital is when there is an emergency, generally referring to respiratory arrest. Really doubles down on the oxygen destroyer to make it a triple instead of a double
King Kong tried, but he never had it in this one. He got fried hard in the first round alone. Godzilla came to merc this and he did.
Kong definitely started coming back in the second half of the battle but it wasn’t enough for him to take the win in my opinion
8:44
But that’s the thing, primates have needed to evolve for hundred of thousands of years, and from what I remember, Gojira was already large, about the height of a tall apartment building, and that was before he got used to walking on land, so he was hunched over, that being before the effects of the ‘radiation’. He was big in the sea, probably bigger than blue whales. However Gojira grew short arms because of his transformation into an amphibian. The arms haven’t grown larger, simply because there’s no need for them to, he’s just that powerful.
So I can’t really give Kong that bar.
Immaculate breakdown of the bars and taught me a few I had no clue about. Loved this breakdown on what might possibly be my new favorite ERB😂
i cant believe on how so much people missed out on "Destroy ya" guys its literally a reference to Destoroyah
"My Voice Cuts deep like im rubbing on a double bass" - That's literally how Godzillas iconic roar was recorded by rubbing a leather glove coated in pine resin on a double bass
I think the Frankenstein was a reference about how when it was distributed in Europe they often used Frankenstein vs instead of Godzilla
That makes much more sense than Mr.Lboyd suggestion. Otherwise King kong braught in is better than nothing? Than he would diss himself.
RKO did the Abbot and Costel Movies
17:07
Specifically the land of the rising sun, and nuclear weapons, or in this case atomic weapons, pretty much create a small sun as many people put it, and it was the atomic bombs that caused Gojira’s transformation, so a little more depth with the bar than just on the surface.
"Here comes the airplane" is something you typically say when you playfully feed a baby
First person I seen catch the Kong line. Great job!!
22:27
I also think Godzilla had Em’s 2nd fastest bar, hell maybe faster than rap god, I forgot, but that could be a reference.
The here's your sign reference is a bill engval comedic punchline "here's your sign" calling him stupid.
King Kong started off as a stop-motion puppet in his first film, that's the reference to the bad effects line and I believe rabbit pelt was what they used to make his fur with.
Come to new york and King Kong will Bing Bong Fuck your life my favorite line in this battle 😂
Is the RKO line not also a reference to Randy Orton bc his finisher is the RKO and he’s also known as “The Apex predator”?
Mechani-Kong was the villain of the film King Kong Escapes but was barely remembered or touched upon ever again after it's debut. Mechagodzilla was introduced afterwards and on the other hand, along with King Ghidorah, is now one of the two most popular and recurring villains in the Godzilla franchise.
The miracle spiritual part was a reference to a monster that is basically a copy of him and his invasion of the Marvel comics where he beat most of Marvel.
"This alpha gorilla wont be bringing no silver back" is also a response to the Herambe line
5:02 Your best Pikachu face by far 😂😂
“Cause all your threats are empty” he’s playing on the fact that ‘Hollow earth’ or simply ‘hollow’ means there’s nothing inside of his disses against Godzilla
a bento box was the original inspiration for TV dinner
So here’s the story: When Toho got the rights to King Kong the planed movie was King Kong vs Frankenstein. This wasn’t actually the literary one but a character from a different Toho movie that made giant monsters. For issues with rights that switched out Frankenstein for Godzilla. It’s also important to remember that this was only the 3rd Godzilla movie ever and it had so little impact outside of Japan at that point that the second Godzilla movie wasn’t even called Godzilla but Gigantus the Fire Monster.
There was a line about rabbit fur somewhere in there that I haven't seen anybody explain here: it's a reference to the original Kong's stop motion armature being literally covered in rabbit fur.
30:30
Mothra, Queen of the Monsters…a minority of the fandom ships Godzilla and Mothra…probably some horrendous fanfics out there as well…
The hardest bar I havnt seen anyone comment on or point out is when Kong says in his first turn that he is “the 8th wonder of the world AND the word when I rhyme”
The 8th word that he rhymes is when he says “the word.” He is calling himself “the word”, or as many people would say, “God”
Kong’s rhymes in order
1. “Pretty” (rhymes with “Lizze”)
2. “Arms” (rhymes with “bars”)
3. “Barkley” (rhymes with “movie”)
4. “Fuji” (rhymes with “movie” and “Barkley”)
5. “Health” (rhymes with “yourself”)
6. “RKO” (rhymes with “death row”)
7. “ToHo’s” (rhymes with “RKO” and “death row”)
8. “The word” (rhymes with “the world”)
Had to look it up. There was a Godzilla vs Frankenstein movie planned but it got canceled and replaced by Frankenstein vs Baragon.
I was so excited to see his reaction to a Haiku within Godzilla's rap and I think it went over his head. That haiku was the nail in the coffin for me.
Waiting for one person to notice the "coldest monster in the sea, g what's kraken" is also a reference to the fact all their movies are CG
Death Row!
The Electric chair!
the iron man and thor line is referring to when Godzilla appeared in the marvel comics and decimated the entire avengers group in a massive battle and dipped afterword. you should give it a read, 23 comics i believe
Hate how people don't really get the shin line its a reference to a version of Godzilla called shin Godzilla
If you wanna be technical, the 90s Godzilla was canonized by Toho, but was explained that it wasn’t ACTUALLY Godzilla. We’d just mistaken them as being Godzilla. That version of the monster is now called “Zilla”
I wish more TH-camrs listened to the whole verse and then went through each line
I'm really glad for this reaction and the comments, because I'll be honest, in this particular ERB, even though I absolutely LOVE it, I missed much more references than I usually do.
So yeah... Thanks :D
tokatsu is a meal in japan, which is why its followed by the tofu bar
It's Tokasatsu, a Japanese term for live action movies with use of practical effects as opposed to CGI
@@victore8342 I understand but pointing out a possible double meaning because a lot of gman's bars are about food or Japan culture.
Code Blue is a medical term for when a patient is in a critical state.
The first Godzilla movies were titled " Frankensteins monsters" or something like that in the US and Europe because it was thought that name is more recognizable than Godzilla
RKO is also the finishing move of Randy Orton in WWE that became a meme like 10 years ago. "RKO out of nowhere". So that was a double apparently, I didn't know the one MrLboyd explained.
It wasn't just the Empire State Kong fell off from.
In the 1970s, Kong fell off the WTC at night.
The term death row was first used around the time when kong’s first film was released. Prior to that the term death cell was used. This was because most prisoners convicted of murder were isolated individually by cell from other prisoners. In 1933 however, a high profile criminal convicted of attempting to assasinate president Roosevelt was placed in a cell with another criminal convicted of murder. The term was then coined death row because there were multiple murderers sharing cell space.
