Announcer: Epic Rap Battles of History! Thomas Edison vs Nikola Tesla! Begin!
Edison: Step up, you'll be shocked when I spit and start static. I'll rip your style and add it to my long list of patents. While you were busy digging ditches and burning bridges, I'm pumping out inventions, stacking riches, so go back to your pigeons. You're a geek, plagued by OCD. You never had sex, but you sure got screwed by me. I'll crush you, Tesla, there's just no putting it gently. I don't alternate my flow, I diss you directly.
Tesla: I see a universe of infinite energy. But no potential for threat from this enemy. So you can call me Tesla, Nikola, impeccably dressed. Giving lessons in electrical nemesis, this will be one the test. So confess your thefts and let the whole world know what the Serbian did for the Wizard of Menlo. History is getting rewritten and I have reddit. Your best invention was a way to steal credit.
Edison: The truth hertz, you're broke and washed up. Don't give a smidgen 'bout your visions if they can't make a buck. I conduct business, understood things you never could. So dope that I even make New Jersey look good. I'm on the record I invented, you got duped, there I said it. And I'll bet you 50,000 dollars that you'll never forget it. Without me, here's a taste of what this battle would be. No lights, No camera, see?
Tesla: You fool, You think that you can touch me with this? You couldn't handle my gifts with your greedy little mind. What's inside mine was ahead of it's own time. You did not steal from me, you stole me from mankind! It's the wireless transmission of truth. And it's a shocking real story of a banker and you. And if the people knew you stopped me from making power free. They would curse the con Edison with every utility.
Announcer: Who won!? Who's next!? You decide! Epic Rap Battles of History!
