In the more heady and less two-clicks-away-from-vaccine-denial days of YouTube, an undisputed comedic goldmine was the \u201cEpic Rap Battles of History\u201d channel. Nice Peter and EpicLLOYD presided over side-splitting, surrealist and weirdly historically accurate MC battles: pitting the likes of Henry Ford versus Karl Marx, Hitler versus Darth Vader, J.R.R. Tolkien versus George R.R. Martin, Jim Henson<\/a> versus Stan Lee, and our personal favorite, Terminator versus Robocop. (\u201cI can\u2019t help it if I\u2019m fresh \/ It\u2019s my prime directive.\u201d)<\/p>\n

The series raked in billions of clicks and featured guest spots from the likes of Key & Peele, T-Pain and Weird Al. It\u2019s still a going concern today, with a recent addition to the canon pitting Tom Cruise against Evel Knievel.<\/p>\n

And now Nice Peter and EpicLLOYD are playing a clutch of Florida shows (why not?), just days after Wu-Tang Clan brought their farewell tour through Florida (why not?). As each video promises, \u201cWho won? Who\u2019s next? You decide!\u201d<\/p>\n

8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2, The Abbey, 100 S. Eola Drive, abbeyorlando.com<\/a>, $44.<\/p>\n
