Summary
Epic Rap Battles of History (ERB) is a YouTube web series created by Peter Shukoff (a.k.a. Nice Peter), Lloyd Ahlquist (a.k.a. EpicLLOYD), Dave McCary, and Maker Studios. The series pits notable historical and pop culture figures, real and fictional, against one another in a rap battle format. The characters portrayed are often determined by suggestions from viewers in the comments sections of the channel's videos. Shukoff and Ahlquist write each song themselves, doing meticulous research in order to glean obscure details to use as references in the lyrics. As of July 7, 2019, the channel has over 14.5 million subscribers and approximately 3.197 billion total video views. Following an extended hiatus, the channel returned with a bonus battle in December 2018, and the sixth season debuted on April 20, 2019.
