    The Victory/Vasectomy line is actually more based on the letter V than it is trying to rhyme. V for Victory (the hand symbol), then used to symbolize a pair of scissors giving you the snip. A Performance Bar.

    While ERB was with Maker Studios, which was owned by Disney, the powers that be started exerting censorship and control downward through the layers of ownership, once the channel started to really take off. This is why the "Stan Lee vs. Jim Henson" ERB was so significant, that was their kiss-off to the House of Mouse, when they went fully independent.

    Although I think Frankie was vicious af against Freddie, I think Freddie was so much more effective at reflecting anything said against him. Frankie also had a quite small mag of ammo to put against Freddie. He only really pointed out his dress, teeth, and that he had AIDS. Freddie showed a much more varied range of insults. Nonetheless, Frankie's bars need to be much more appreciated than they are by most reaction channels covering this. Though, ultimately in my eyes, Freddie is the winner here.

  • @fadeemblem7665
    @fadeemblem7665 Před 2 lety +1749

    I think Freddy won that one. Sinatra's attacks can basically be boiled down to "you look funny/you don't dress classy enough" and "you're gay/you died of AIDS", whereas Freddy had punches about Sinatra not going to war, the Mafia connection, Sinatra's music/acting/dancing abilities, and of course the haymaker of "you had a hit song called My Way, but someone else wrote it". Also the Sammy Davis thing feels kinda like a Sinatra self-own the way he phrased it.

      I feel like it's just because Freddie is more likeable in real life, almost a martyr. If we take the bias out of the battle, boiling down bars to the meaning isn't doing it justice. His lines are very creative in terms of phrasing, they are snappy and funny (at least, for me), no matter what they boil down to. Freddie just sort of names things. Performance-wise - sure, but as a battle - nah.

      disagree, as people, freddy is more likeable and also his performance is more epic, but bar for bar, as battle rap, not as a popularity contest, sinatra got it, not by too much, but I agree with scru on this one, because even if the things sinatra uses as insults are pretty simple, they still hit hard as battle bars, even if in real life calling someone gay is not even a bad thing, the way sinatra frames it, it is vicious, like for example the butthole roulette bar, making fun of someone for dying of aids when it was not known irl is kinda wack, but in a battle, it works, and the sammy davis I think is more the comedy aspect of erb or maybe even the history part

    @ZackofSpades Před 2 lety +255

    See, and I think Freddie got this one no contest. Frank's bars were savage and bloody, but they were superficial. They looked bad and sounded bad, but they didn't hit any vitals. Freddie shrugged them off and went for the throat by calling him out for being a draft dodging coward, for not writing his hit song, for his pathetic vocal range and lack of performance, and for being a wiseguy. Those were vitals, cutting Frank at the core of who he is by exposing.
    As far as last rounds, Frank's last round can be boiled down to "you died because you were a had a lot of sex and got aids". Freddie's was a complete rebuttal of that by giving his death more importance to the whole world by exposing how dangerous aids is. That's just facts.
    In the end, it's just like Freddie said in his first line: "you think I haven't heard those things before?" Very little Frank said in the battle couldn't have been said by someone else. To me, Frank needed to swag more to make me care about what he has to say, because going for low hanging fruit leaves you open to exactly what Freddie did: deflect him for being another dude in a boring suit who didn't bring anything original to the table.

    Frank comes out with roast bars. He's making fun of him and that's about it. It's like some kind of after dark comedy special.
    Freddy takes it personal, and says 'Well if that's how you want it.'. He comes out swinging with a slow sorrowful build, almost to show how personal he took it, then bursts out into full energy and style. He's throwing slug after slug after slug, super aggressive and very personal. He flips Franks roasts and empowers himself with them, tears Frank down, just goes at him.
    I think Frank's expectations really show with his reaction in the second bar. 'Easy there!' This went harder than he was expecting, and he's certainly not putting up any character assassination. His class act routine is his whole persona, so he immediately goes on the defence, ending off with something honestly kinda hits me as passive. 'I ain't got anything against what you do, but you sure as hell came out a loser'. It's a nasty line, but all of it comes across almost like he's afraid to let slip that class act face.
    Freddy is nobody but himself tho. He tastes weakness in the air and comes right back out, shutting down the one attempt at a hit Frank had and ending the battle on his own terms.
    Freddy won. Hands down.

    The Victory/Vasectomy line was more a visual pun than a rhyme and to me showcases why Freddie won this. The V for his victory became scissors for Frank's vocal vasectomy AND is also the UK's version of the middle finger so he also got in a "fuck you". As talented as Frank was, he was a one trick pony.

      Guinea is an ethnic slur towards Italians and people of Italian heritage, as is dago. And the line is parodying Bohemian Rhapsody’s “Galileo (x3) Fígaro” line. Perfect musical reference, but seriously, the ethnic slurring and queer slurring was shocking AF and I am no glad they don’t do that these days.
      Oh yeah, and yes, Freddie was Persian and a racial minority in Britain, and dealt with a lot of overt racism in his life, whereas Frank was still white AF and was incredibly racist. So yeah, Freddie escalated, but Frank went WAY PAST the line. Because he’s white, with a small asterisk, and If you want to say Mercury’s white, his whiteness comes with TWO big fuckin’ asterisks.
      So that’s how you break that down.

    Outta your damn mind giving it to Frank. All of his bars boil down to appearance and promiscuity, while Freddy shreds Frank's entire career and character, crushes him with his very first line and adds nails to the coffin with the rest of his verse. Then Sinatra comes back and his first bar is a self-burn? C'mon. Nothing Sinatra says sticks to Mercury. This is one of the most one-sided ERBs, right along Oppenheimer's domination of Thanos.

    Sinatra’s crew were called The Rat Pack. That’s the rodent reference. There was Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin, and Joey Bishop. At one point there was Peter Lawford, but he had a falling out with Sinatra. If you don’t know who they all are, google them, they were all HUGE.
    Also wanna say that Mercury jokes Sinatra can’t act, but he was nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of a heroin addict in a movie called The Man with the Golden Arm. Kind of high praise for a singer turned actor back then.

    The early ERBs were probably more vicious because everybody knows who they are. The characters didn't have to have introductory bars to establish themselves before tearing into their opponents.

Nowadays theres a lot more pure info that gets people interested in figures they might not even know otherwise.

    Freddie: Actually I brought awareness to an invisible disease that has overall benefitted thousands of people
    Frank: You're super gay
    Freddie: Yes, I am.
    Frank: You should dress better
    Freddie: People literally take me more seriously than you in women's pants.
