Mozart vs Skrillex
Epic Rap Battles Of History Lyrics

@alliemandleni5846

Fr tho.😭

@lafudge2929

Yeah, let's not talk about that song he did with Justin Bieber just a few years ago that went like, diamond or something lol

@WeAreOnePiano

Mozart definitely won, but Skrillex had one of the best rap lines ever written. "I attack, you decay, can't sustain my releases, sidechain Wolfgang, bangarang you to pieces." The amount of puns in this sentence is out of control

@megaagentj2248

this battle's got so many underrated lines 'I'm a prodigy sonny and I'm about to smack a bitch up' is a reference that so few probably got when listening to it

Y'know Mozart won but Skrillex actually had a good amount of solid lines.

@thatcooldudeisawesome876

I feel like Skrillex won though some of his lines just hit so hard with context.

@Karoku2100

Given how some character/person portrayals are set up to lose from the start, they actually did a pretty good job with Skrillex as far as dissing and rapping goes. It also helps that he's a good sport IRL from what I last heard

@stevewonder10

True, but: Mozart was brutal. It's like saying that a man bravely tried to stop the truck about to run him over

@getsinged7631

90% of people won't get any of the Skrillex or dubstep references though because 90% of people don't know who Skrillex is and don't listen to dubstep.

A lot of people sleep on Skrillex because they think dubstep is just “pressing play” but he’s an INCREDIBLE audio engineer. I’m certain he’s credited on a few of your favorite tracks. If anyone knows the actual process that goes to creating dubstep it’s incredibly complex

@ariannamyrie9520

My friend is a dj, and we were literally going through the same track, which was 4 minutes at most, for literally 4 hours, and then he had to go home, and he was still working on it for about a week..... it was amazing, but holy shit it's a process and a half. Also, people forget that Sonny/Skrillex was part of a decently successful metal band, and he helped write the music, so that's why his earlier song catalog is harder than his more recent output.

Who are you to judge what is music and what is not? I could also say: "When I hear classic I can only ask myself how anyone can hear this
without thinking of suicide. It's a shame to connect this with anything
wich is near music! It only causes migraine. I accept all types of music
but not this because it is no music." But i don't because it is disrespectful to everyone who likes this genre. Besides that, you obviously do not know anything of Dubstep since it has dozens of subgenres and there is a wide range of different styles which all sound in another way. I don't ask you to like this kind of music, i just ask you to respect it and the people who listen to it.

@vivianjames357

@@Grigeral no, no. The misconception is that few people listen to classical.

In Beethovens erb he brings up a line about a crowd of millions waiting to listen to him and that's exact how it goes for Mozart too.

Its not the same kind of hype as a modern concert but the difference between them with the similarity of people being stoked to attend is that modern concerts are clout and classic music concerts are fame.

You are so dead wrong that it IS funny

@Grigeral

@@vivianjames357 Sorry, but no. You're just incorrect. And this isn't talking as someone who dislikes classical music. I love it and also play the piano myself.

I'm not saying there aren't a lot of people who listen to it... But it's certainly not popular... It's not even statistically in the top 10 most listened to genres.

So you can keep kidding yourself and acting like it's some 'cool factor' to listen to classical music all you want... The fact remains that it's still nowhere near as popular as most other genres.

As recent as 2019, there was around a 1% market share for classical music in the US. Making it 'literally' the least grossing genre of the year. The top 4 genres combined accounted for between a total of 68-70%.

The majority who listen to classical music just happen to listen to it when it's on. The number of people who actively go out of their way to experience it in some way is beyond niché.

But please, show me some actual data that proves I am dead wrong lol, good though ERB is, it doesn't count as evidence lol.

So in contrast, I'd argue that your claims, with no evidence, are what's funny here 😛

@Grigeral

@@vivianjames357 What I will say though, is that it 'is' once again on the rise in popularity with younger people, so how that will show within the next few years is anyone's guess.

That line wasn't directed at Skrillex. That was him standing on Skrillex's corpse and giving a warning to any future challengers that he will fuck them up if they so much as think of going against him. Compared to him, most other musicians look like hobbyists looking for a quick bit of fame and he knows it.

@victorconway444

To be fair, Mozart didn't get the credit he deserved for his work until years after he already died. It's the tragedy of many artists in history. Not saying Skrillex is in any way equivalent to Mozart, but it's a little too soon to judge how he'll ultimately be looked back on decades from now.

What Mozart said that his music is 200 years old and it's still excellent, is true, classical music will never fade. Some modern music's can live but not for long.

@thelelanatorlol3978

Nothing can beat a good combination of electronic and organic music. Let's be real though, the real reason why old classical music has persisted 200 years is because it's constantly in circulation among those learning to play the same instruments that those composers happened to use. Not much different from a rhythm game player like me playing the same songs that everyone else has played at least once to improve my abilities.

@nilsragnar1347

Y'all are speculating a lot. Something not a lot of people realize is that most of the classical music ever produced has died and been forgotten, only the very peak has survived for this long. Even lesser known pieces of famous composers are rarely performed. I think it's hard to say but I personally think we will see a similar trend in today's music, probably a very small fraction will survive. I can imagine generational musicians like Queen etc. will survive for many years to come. Highly doubt the majority of what's trending now will survive for very long though. Music surviving for 100+ years has always been extremely rare, and that will continue to be the case. Also classical music has the advantage of length, which I can imagine has helped it survive for longer, that's just speculation though.
