(chuckles)
- (FineBros) Have you seen them before?
- I have.
Only the Steve Jobs one.
Yeah. (laughs)
I have seen them before. I love them.
Yes! I've been watching it for so long.
One of my friends is a huge fan.
Memorizes them, and then
sings them in class, and he's like,
andquot;Has everyone seen the new
'Epic Rap Battles of History'?andquot;
I'm like, andquot;No. I'm sorry.
I have to study.andquot;
(FineBros) Do you think
this is a good concept?
Rap battles of history?
I think so, because nobody's
ever thought of it before,
and obviously, rap battles
are a big thing everywhere.
Yeah, I mean, it's so creative.
Normally, when you hear about
these important people,
you read them in a book or something.
Like, oh, they're boring.
I read about them.
And now they're rapping, saying swears.
It's showing you history
and things that teens want to hear.
Rap, 'cause we're all thugs. (chuckles)
- (FineBros) So, did you like the show?
- Yeah, it's funny.
It's okay. I mean, they're entertaining.
They're so brilliant.
I'm subscribed to them,
so they're pretty awesome.
I'm a fan of rap and hip-hop music
and I'm a big fan of history.
I love history, so that's like--
That's best of both worlds
for me right there.
(FineBros) Do you learn anything
- about history watching this show?
- (giggling) No.
I learned-- (giggles)
Mozart can totally beat
Skrillex in a rap battle, duh!
They put, like, certain
history facts and such,
but I don't learn anything.
You definitely could.
They throw things in there
and they do a lot of wordplay
that is based on historical stuff.
When it was Genghis Khan
and the Easter Bunny,
I was like, andquot;I don't know
a lot about Genghis Khan.andquot;
So, I Google-searched
Genghis Khan, did some research.
(FineBros) You've clicked it
to watch it, the beat starts,
and andquot;EPIC RAP BATTLES

- How does it make you feel?
- It gets me all nervous.
andquot;Let's see how good it is.
Ooh, I can't wait.andquot;
I feel excited. I'm hyped up for the show.
I'm like, andquot;EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY!andquot;
and then I go back to watching.
(FineBros) Do you usually say it with it?
- Yeah. Every time.
- (FineBros laugh)
(FineBros) Which one
is your favorite episode?
I could be even one we didn't show you.
Marilyn Monroe vs. Cleopatra.
Mr. T vs. Mister Rogers.

(FineBros) And do you know
who created the show?
- No.
- No.
Nice Peter, and is it EpicLLOYD?
(FineBros) What do you think
of their rapping ability?
I like it. At least
it's not the normal andquot;rap.andquot;
I don't understand the difference
between good rapping
and bad rapping,
because I don't listen to rap.
They're actually really good.
They're so clever with
every line they put together.
They're pretty badass.
I mean, I can rap, but not like that.
It's actually pretty
decent for white people.
They're steppin' up.
White people are steppin' up.
(FineBros) The show started
on Nice Peter's channel
and was a huge success with
hundreds of millions of views.
- Okay, yeah.
- (FineBros) They then launched
a channel just for the rap battles
less than two years ago,
and it already has over
five million subscribers.
That's a lot.
(FineBros) And a combined
one billion views.
- Wow!
- God, that's insane.
(FineBros) What is it
about this that has made it
arguably the most popular show
of all time on the Internet?
It could appeal to a lot
of different audiences.
Something that everyone likes.
Everyone likes music.
Everyone in society
secretly loves violence,
and they're verbally attacking each other.
Because it differs every time.
You don't know who they're going
to put up against each other next.
All the work they put in
compared to other shows--
it's a lot more.
It looks so cool.
The graphics are good.
The costumes are well-done.
Makeup's well-done.
The music is well-done.
The songwriting skill is there.
If I saw just the behind-the-scenes,
I would be like,
andquot;Wow. I wonder when
this movie's coming out.andquot;
(FineBros) And why do you think
they end every video
with, andquot;Who won?
Who's next? You decideandquot;?
Oh, so it gives viewer input.
It's a way to interact with the audience.
'Cause they want to keep it going.
They want to have an audience connection.
Let it to the viewers
to decide who's next.
It's just like what we do.
To see who won and then
to get ideas for the next video.
I wish they would read
some of the comments
and give a winner based off the comments.
(FineBros) If you could decide,
what rap battle would
you want to see next?
(gasps) Oh, my God!
Black Michael Jackson vs.
White Michael Jackson!
Queen Elizabeth vs. the khaleesi.
Mickey Mouse vs. Osama bin Laden,
and I want to see that.
Walter White from
andquot;Breaking Badandquot; go up against
Rick from andquot;Walking Dead.andquot;
Xbox vs. PlayStation or something.
Like, just have a big Xbox outfit
and a big PlayStation outfit.
Slender Man vs. anyone.
I don't know. I just want
to see Slender Man.
(FineBros) If someone
was to come up to you
and you'd never seen this
before and they told you,
andquot;Oh, you got to see this show.
It's two white guys rapping about history,andquot;
what would you think?
I'd be like, andquot;Nah, I'm good.
I pass on that.andquot;
andquot;Ha. That's funny.andquot;
The image that comes
to my head is a classroom
and a geography map in the background,
and then these two history
professors, and they're like,
andquot;Yo, the Ottoman Empire is over here.andquot;
andquot;Benny, why do you want to show me this?andquot;
But then I would watch it,
and I'd be like, andquot;Benny!
Thank you for showing me this!andquot; (giggles)
Thank you for watching

‘My school is a good school’: La Loche shooting survivor tells her story




‘My school is a good school’: La Loche shooting survivor tells her story
Cayleen Jayden Park arrived at La Loche Community School in Saskatchewan, Canada around 1 o’clock and was in a good mood.
The 10th grader was getting ready for her day when she heard the school bell ring, so she decided to take a quick walk around the school before it began at 1:05 p.m., she told RT in an interview. As she made her way to the common area to enjoy the last remaining minutes of free time before classes, she heard three gunshots.
That’s when everything changed. During a shooting at the school, five people were killed and another two were injured, according to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. However, Cayleen disputes the number and says that the shooting claimed four lives. The suspect is in custody.
When Park heard the shots, she describes the fear she felt as paralyzing. “I just stood there,” she said over FaceTime. “I had a panic attack. The principal was telling everyone to get into classrooms.” It wasn’t until then that she was able to gather herself.
“I ran into Miss Albertine’s office. Other students saw what I was doing and ran into classrooms.” She remained in the office for two hours during the lockdown, listening to the sounds of the police trying to talk to the shooter, who she says was “yelling.” She wasn’t sure what he was yelling, “’call the police,’ I don’t know. I was panicking and scared.”
The shooter will remain unnamed at this time, but Park confirms that he was a student and older than her.
The uncertainty and fear she felt was shared by her sister, Robyn Park. Robyn, who is “like a mother to [Cayleen],” heard about the shooting through social media. “I had no idea what was going on, I just saw everyone posting about it on Facebook. I was really scared,” Robyn said to RT. She was able to get in touch with Cayleen by calling her through Facebook.
Luckily, the 10th grader made it through the lockdown uninjured physically, but she is unsure how to handle it. She said that “there will be something up for people to talk about it,” but she doesn’t know if she will attend. She said that one friend was shot in the leg and another classmate was also shot.
Both Cayleen and Robyn are shocked by what happened at La Loche Community School. When asked what Cayleen wants the world to know about it, she said “my school is a good school; no one expected this to happen.”
