Epic Rap Battles of History” (ERB), Maker Studios’ record-breaking series created by Peter Shukoff (aka Nice Peter) and Lloyd Ahlquist (aka EpicLLOYD) returns today with Muhammad Ali vs. Michael Jordan. This battle will feature Comedy Central’s “Key & Peele” talent Keegan-Michael Key as Michael Jordan and Jordan Peele as Muhammad Ali.
One of the greatest basketball players of all time, #23 Michael Jordan (Keegan-Michael Key) dribbles into the ring to take on “The Greatest,” boxing legend Muhammad Ali (Jordan Peele). In a true test of athletic performance, this battle is sure to “float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.”
My god that was hilarious! The Michael Jordan depiction was spot on.
“Epic Rap Battles of History” premiered in September 2010 and became an instant digital sensation due to such viral hits as Adolf Hitler vs. Darth Vader. “ERB” Season 2: Part 2 ended in December 2012 with a slam-bang finale featuring Snoop Dogg for a Moses vs. Santa Claus battle.
