(ERB)" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/snoopdog.jpg?w=300" width="300" height="228" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">So this is a thing now. (ERB)</p></div></p>
<p>The YouTube series "Epic Rap Battles of History" is pretty fantastic; pitting two famous but incongruous figures together for something resembling that final scene of <em>8 Mile</em>. It's the dirty dozens when <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vICX-6dMOuA&amp;feature=share&amp;list=PL59A6BAB16A05B4AA">Cleopatra met Marilyn Monroe</a>, or the time <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFA-rOls8YA&amp;feature=share&amp;list=PLQ-7WiWmOuK-55mfcd_tdcvy-57VMCkOW">Darth Vader showed Hitler</a> what true evil really looks like. Who would drop the best beats: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDj7gvc_dsA&amp;feature=share&amp;list=PL59A6BAB16A05B4AA">Doc Brown or Dr. Who</a>? These are the questions that need answering.</p>
<p>Now ERB is at it again, with its biggest celebrity yet: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDj7gvc_dsA&amp;feature=share&amp;list=PL59A6BAB16A05B4AA">Snoop Dogg as Moses</a>, in a Christmas song that is sure to leave many people confused about why Santa Claus hates Jewish people so much.</p>
<p><!--more--><br />
http://youtu.be/0kRAKXFrYQ4<br />
Putting aside the idea that Santa Claus hating Moses smacks of unnecessary anti-Antisemitism on Kris Kringle's part, there's just something really "great" (not great) about listening to a biblical figure spit rhymes like "I'll split your ass in half, like I did the Red the Sea."</p>
<p>But there are some pretty smart (for Snoop Dogg) concepts in this rap battle. "You ain't a saint you a slaver," Snoop/Moses spits. "Like a pharaoh in the snow, stop with the unpaid labor." But the elves themselves defend their oppressor and mock Moses, saying "Here's a GPS, who gets lost for 40 years?"</p>
<p>In conclusion, <em>Django Unchained</em>. "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8tODhvb47s">Oh Sookie</a>." Both of those things.</p>
