Tyler Pilkinton as Tyler and Richard

Xander Ray as Xander and Announcer

Tyler Pilkinton:
OK, HEH! Let's go! It's about time

For you to get slapped by one of my outstanding rhymes

You're not strong enough to take any of my blows

So give me the remote, or I'll punch you straight in the nose!

I'm coming at your skiny body like a Tsunami

So just stick to writing about your little comic book zombies

You can't even touch my grade-A rapping technique

'Cause I'm a YouTube star, you're just a gangly gaming freak

Richard Murray:
Look who we have here, king of the vlogosphere

You've only been on YouTube for one friggin' year

I've got cultural appeal, you're white as a ghost

I'm taller than you. You're probably what, five-six at the most?

You were an honorary Asian stripped of your label

Your taste in music is crappy like your skills on the pool table

Never had a girlfriend 'cause you've got no game

Tyler Pilkinton? You better ditch that for a stage name

Tyler Pilkinton:
Who do you think you're talking to, Sir Richard Talks Alot?

Don't you remember I made you famous, or have you forgot?

I'm not a rapper, but I got a lot of candor

Now let me pass the mic to my man named Xander

Xander Ray:
I'm about to send this man flyin' like Team Rocket

Stick to your milk and donuts, I've got my hot pockets!

My fiction's better than anything you could ever write

I got those fancy dance moves, but I'm always ready for a fight!

Richard Murray:
Why don't you shut your hungry mouth before I teach you a lesson

I'll melt you into some chocolate and make s'mores like Clinton

Then I'll cut you up inna little tufts like Jesse's hair

Think this battle's your Redemption? I don't care!

Tyler Pilkinton:
I'll make you stumble like you tumble on a carport

'Cause I'm the one who ha-mastered the skill of parkour

I can't blame myself for casting you as a jerk

Look up a book on acting, dude. It Just Might Work

Richard Murray:
No one cares about your stories, Xander

I'll cut you up inna little tufts like Jesse's hair!

Then I'll melt you in some chocolate and make s'mores like Clinton

Think this battle's your Redemption? Think again!

Poll
Who won? Tyler Richard

Production

 * An alternate version of the battle featuring Richard Murray as himself was uploaded privately several weeks before the release date. Murray, unsatisfied with his performance, asked Tyler Pilkinton to remove the video before it went live. This is what prompted Pilkinton to play both rappers.
 * This battle has had the least amount of line changes, with only Richard's second verse and one of Xander's lines having been altered from the demo version.

Continuity

 * This is the only battle to date to feature a third-party rapper (unless you count Tyler P.'s line in Clinton vs. Walter, "FATALITY!", in which case this battle is the first).
 * This is the only battle to date to feature live-action backgrounds rather than CGI backgrounds.
