"You're fucking with the most triumphant third of the Triumvirate" Damn.
-
If Julius Ceasar was pissed off: he'd scream and yell loud as fuck. If Julius Ceasar was actually mad, he was terrifingly calm.
-
For those who don't know: Julius's ending verse "You can grow my wheat for me after your beaten" isn't a reference to slavery, its a shot at Shaka's pride as he banned the growth of wheat on Zulu's homeland after his mother died
-
The line "You're fucking with the most triumphant third of the triumvirate" is so badass
-
This DLC Trailer for Civ 6 looks sick....
-
I was half expecting Caesar to get killed mid-way through the battle only for Augustus to jump in
-
I'm impressed by how evil Peter was able to sound, while still being dignified and impressive.
-
“Trained on thorns” refers to how Shaka didn’t allow himself or his men to wear shoes/sandals since it slowed them down in battle. And then, so that they’d adapt to it more quickly, he made them walk on thorny/rocky ground.
-
"I'm ruling over you like a boot full of my citizens!" Nice reference to Italy.
-
"I heard you had poison spit, where was it in this cypher?" Killer opening line.
-
Shaka shot himself in the foot with the “stabbed by your friends” line because he was killed by his own brothers, so it would’ve been a good line if it came from literally anyone else lol. And Caesar won with the “you can grow my wheat for me after you’re beaten” line. Because Shaka banned the growing of wheat during his rule, which ultimately is what led to his death, so that was just a downright filthy haymaker of a bar.
-
Okay, the “strength of a lion” and “can I be a hyena” lines are FREAKING GENIUS. Lions and hyenas are massive enemies - if they see each other it’s pretty much on sight.
-
Caesar's transition from calm to really angry in this video is honestly one of the most subtle references I've seen. His temper was legendary
-
Peter's acting in this is so on point it makes Hollywood cry. I just love Ceasar's calmness, precise talk and movement, and of course confidence/borderline arrogance.
-
“If you cross that equator, you'll head straight into a massacre” was a direct reference to the Battle of Isandlwana in 1879 when the British CROSSED into Zululand and then regiment of over 1,800 Soliders got damn near wiped out by the Zulu Army leaving only roughly 60 of them to escape alive!
-
'' I'm first of the empire, and last of the republicans '' I still think about this line from time to time. Such a badass way to encapsulate Caesar.
-
"You're fucking with most triumphant third of the triumvirate" dude thats fucking fire. You gotta give props for fitting triumvirate into a rap battle.
-
I still love how this Caesar is just dripping with overconfidence. True to life
-
"I'll pave roads with the bones of your goat herding ass" is such a badass line! 🔥
-
Shaka's flow was amazing, so energetic and powerful, but Caesar was cold and calculist and his lyrics were absolutely murderous, this is one of the best ERB of all no doubt
