King Leonidas and Master Chief Have a War of the Words
300‘s Leonidas and Halo‘s Master Chief have gotten into a bit of a scuffle, resulting in the best Epic Rap Battles of History video in quite some time. Both fighter’s rhymes are reasonably phat and impressively cutting, and the fact that they got a rather shockingly accurate Leonidas facsimile helps immensely. Maybe I’m just impressed whenever someone manages to work Lipton the tea company into a rap.
