Music: Epic Rap Battles of MLP - AcousticBrony Vs. Mandopony


Both musicians have a huge following, but who is the superior artist?! Which one will come out on top when they are out of their normal acoustic filled element?

YOU decide!

It's Epic Rap Battles of MLP!

After the break, as always.

this is just like the epic rap battles of equestria!

RavensDagger said...

This. Is. Epic.

No really, this is bloody awesome. More please. Now.

It's great how our fandom has its own stars.

Joe said...

Is it strange that I don't know either of them?

Dr. Orbital Death-Ray said...

I like how the artwork implies they might make out! #shipalltheponies

L9OBL said...

lmao awesome now we need MicDaMicrophone vs IBringdalulz

Masquerade said...

EVERYONE, GET OUT OF THE ROOM NOW! I WANT TO LISTEN TO PONY MUSIC!!!

Surrounded by anti-everythings here...

Thegnap said...

Vinnyboiler said...

Annnnnnd this is why I wish E-hugs exists!

YorkBrony said...

*coughmandoponywoncough*

ShakeNDake said...

Think I'll have to give it to Mandopony, but close. But as good as the idea is, I'm starting to dislike these rap battles. Not sure why, but pony folk battling in rap, dissing the shit out of each other no longer seems right...

Andech said...

I vote MandoPony. Why?

Because it's MandoPony. Duh.

Octavia said...

Yeah, this is a kind of like a spin-off from Epic Rap Battles of Equestria. lol Except instead d of ponies, it's musicians. :P

And awww, just a one time thing? Booo! lol Sad face.

They were both pretty swag at different points. But if I had to choose one winner out of the two, I'm going to have to say Mando had some seriously strong parts going there. So it's Mando for me.

Really awesome fun rap battle guys.

One-Trick said...

I vote for both because I love both of them <3

Isaiah said...

Who won?

We won.

That was awesome

MandoPony said...

That MandoPony guy is whack ....

Papyra Scribe said...

This is amazing! The references to the show and the fandom are great and the acoustics are great as well... Even if they did want us to pick a winner, I don't know that I could.

Stray / cryptated said...

Eh. These sorts of things are usually funny, but I honestly didn't like this. :/

Juancho.- said...

Dang it why i have to decide? D:

I vote for mando

Lord Pimpington said...

@MandoPony
Yeah, lets start a petition to get him kicked off EQD. heh.

Freakin. Awesome.

More! MORE! This cant be a one time thing! LORD PIMPINGTON DEMANDS MORE!

Cedric Bale said...

Mandopony won, for definitely. His singing voice is better, his lines flow better (in general), he doesn't swear nearly as much, and lastly, this isn't relevant to the rapping, but his OC looks better. :P

No offense meant to AcousticBrony, I like a lot of his works. Mandopony just did better in this, imo.

ftfc said...

That was GREAT!!
We are not sure who won, but leaning towards MandoPony.

We dislike choosing between two of our favorite musicians...

The pony with claws said...

And by tie I mean Mando, sorry Acoustic, next time

acousticbrony said...

I vote for Mando, AB sucks big time.

Blackout said...

@MandoPony

Are you talking smack? I think it's pretty whack to call another pony whack.

...MandoPony FTW!

Tony Razo Sierra said...

Its pretty rap and not cuss sooooo Mando!

Jimperator said...

You guys are both ill. But I think Mando was just a liiiittle smoother.

Still epic.

Juegoman said...

Acoustic lost as soon as he said "weenie". :/

lunadashscratch said...

now they should do yelling at cats versese ether mic the microphone zero or the living tonbstone

swicked said...

That was fun, but Mandopony won :)

naahdude said...

@ACOUSTICBROSEPH

YOU WERE INCREDIBLE THOUGH CMON MAN

EngineerBrony said...

AcousticBrony pulled out all the stops with the Flutterhate...it was darn close, but you can't recover from the news that Fluttershy doesn't love you.

mycutiemarkisagun said...

those flows......no me gusta. Too rigid!

Big Daddy Kane's 1st LP should be MANDATORY LISTENING for any brony thinking about spitting rhymes.

Jordan said...

@Joe: A bit, yeah, considering that they're often featured on Equestria Daily and Daniel Ingram (you know who he is, right?) has often complimented MandoPony (aka Andrew Stein) via YouTube or Facebook.

Josh Spicer said...

@MandoPony

I see what you did there...

Big Love said...

Both were awesome, but I think I'm leaning more toward Mando. We still cool right Acoustic? *brohoof* ^.^/)(\^.^

Witlord said...

ya know im gonna bring up how entertaining that video itself was since no one ever talks about the video and art work in the songs i was very entertained with the stuff u did with the subtitles and the art itself was neat =)

Stormy Seas said...

It was a back and forth decision for me at first, but Mando pulled ahead in the second half. I liked his flow better. But this seriously needs to be more than a one time thing.

acousticbrony said...

Everyone who votes for Mando gets blocked... I'm just fooling, you're all still beautiful XD

mycutiemarkisagun said...

@L9OBL

lol, I want a MicDaMicrophone vs IBringdalulz BEEF. Complete w/ multiple diss tracks, Everfree Radio interviews where they make angry empty threats against one another, Mic claiming he slept with Lulz girlfriend, and a brawl between their entourages @ Bronycon that ends with someone getting stabbed. Love & Tolerance!

redwings1340 said...

MandoPony wins, but they're best when they work together (such as on Long Way from Equestria... That song is so good!)

Croswynd said...

Oh, wow, I don't know if I can decide who won. That was awesome on both sides. I loved the little animation where they pawed the ground, as well as the little animations in the sing-along at the bottom.

Great work by all involved!

Hiccup251 said...

Mandopony started off strong, but i don't know in the end who won.

mycutiemarkisagun said...

@mycutiemarkisagun

That's not Beef.

Beef is when you need two gats to go to sleep/when your moms ain't safe up in the streets/when I see you, guaranteed to be in ICU/when workin folks can't find jobs/high blood pressure and bad credit/oil prices and Geopolitics/etc.

Blondiehound said...

Acousticbrony who? I'm sorry never heard of you, Mandopny on the other hand is like my music hero, oorah.

Big Ditzy said...

the end was a bit of a tease

ThumpyRiffs said...

mandopony all the way

and seriously no bassists up in here? cmon.

CaptainDash said...

@MandoPony Yea I agree with this unbiased stranger!

Naly said...

@.@ whoa, dude. Loved it.

Spark Cloud said...

Mando won, only because he did the music as well as lyrics and rap. Both are super duper amazing BUT there seemed to be a lot of HATE in that video... These guys need some F&M XD

ShadowBrony said...

If only they would listen to comments. Then they might do WoodenToaster vs. Psychgoth

badonkadonk said...

Do i really have to choose? they were both awesome!

Vipera said...

That. Was. AWESOME!

Good god, they both won.

MagicLlama said...

Mando's Brit-bashing was hilarious, with the little snide references snuck in here and there. Also, Dr. Whooves? Win.

TheEvilTater said...

well I'm gonna tell you anyway... too close to call...

Laeko Randalis said...

I'm sorry to say I only know Acoustic Brony.
However, he wins automatically, because Balladshy is one of my all-time favorite pieces ever written.

rylog9 said...

Sterling is already taken?! DAMN IT! ANOTHER YouTube USERNAME CHANGE?!

ForestRain said...

Man, MAD props to Sterling for this video. It's EPIC! ^.^ Oh, and the rapping was decent too. ;p

Zaehlas said...

I'm not normally into rap, but this was.. WOW.

And, it took me looking at the suggested video links on this youtube video to notice that:

THERE HAVE BEEN PMV'S MADE OF BRONY MUSIC. THAT IS SO AWESOME AND A HALF.

Zaehlas said...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxg0g5Bh0Rk <--- This is the one I didn't know about, and it's...

RainbowDashSQUEEEFace "Awesome!"

psychicscubadiver said...

Mandopony won.
No doubt.

Victory Star said...

Mandopony hooves down.
O,0

The Troll said...

As I don't know either of them... I say AcousticBrony won. But that might just be because his Pony is blue :/

rdoung1 said...

Any one else think their styles sound too much the same?

The Troll said...

Or the fact that I'm an Anglo-phile (I love English culture and such)

ThatBronyDude said...

mlp rap battle with mando must watch.

glittering-pony said...

Mandopony gets my vote!

The Ferret said...

Fan-bucking-tastic! all I could ask for was more animated ponies instead of just shifting the vector angles and pawing the ground but that's a tiny nitpick compared to how blown away I was by this great stuff.

scienceandponies said...

Judging solely on this rap battle, I'm gonna have to give it to Mandopony. Judging otherwise, I have no idea because I never remember who wrote what.

Battra said...

Mando all the way

Tundra said...

How do I choose between guys who use the exact same rapping style? They both use it to the best capability I've ever heard with this particular tune.
And since voting is kind of redundant for a one-shot thing, I'm not going to bother. Peace to all three of you (Mandopony, AcousticBrony and Sterling).

David said...

Gah, for God's sake, just bang eachother already. Sheesh.

ShinKaigan said...

Mando pony definitely won in my book, especially since he used so many more MLP references. Go Mandopony!

Evina said...

I don't know much about either of them in my six months of watching the show. But brony celebs aren't really my thing anyway. I kind of came here to avoid that sort of thing, but... I guess not.

Also, I'm not to fond of cussing.

Thumbs down.

Sterling said...

@rylog9

I had to settle for SterlingPony again T_T

@The Ferret

Without wanting to make excuses for myself, this video was a bit of a rush job. I'll blow your mind next time ;)

Mattatatta said...

My votes on Acoustic, his lyrics made ME go "Ohhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!" three times, and when the song finished I said "Would you like a towel, MandoPony? 'Cause you just got R-R-R-R-R-R-RINSED!"

Sterling said...

@Evina

On behalf of AcousticBrony, Mandopony and myself, I'm sorry if you were offended by the language. We DID put [explicit] in the Youtube title, but it looks like that got cut off in the embed. I am a tad annoyed that Seth didn't mention that the video contained profanity, in order to protect delicate ears such as your own.

EPHorizon said...

I've pretty much given up saying "I usually don't like rap"; if it connects to ponies in anyway I seem to like it regardless.

Awesome track. I can't really choose between them, just too much fun on both sides. I think I may have to listen to more of Acoustic's work now...

Maquabra said...

@MandoPony
That MandoPony dude won this one with much better flow, better diction and simply better voice!

Why isn't it on your channel!?!? I might have missed it!

Senior Waffles said...

Well, not that I'm in any position to judge a rap battle but whoever is represented by the blue one is a hypocrite. Something along the lines of "all you do is talk s***", then proceeds to talk s*** the rest of the song.

Also, general popularity and publicity are kind of important, so saying they aren't is denial.

Lastly, ad homenim (probably spelled wrong) won't get you many points, but I would like to make an observation. Beige pony tells blue pony he's got a small willy. Blue pony defends that it is 8 inches. Could still be small to the beige pony...

Sooo beige pony was better.

Passerina cyanea said...

Dude... just make a tournament. I'm serious. It's a good idea.

Maquabra said...

@Senior Waffles
It's a rap battle. It's customary to call your opponent's mother a whore :P

AngelBunny said...

not even fluttershy??? D:

sjstansbury519 said...

Rainbowcrash88 was my introduction to MLP Fan music, while trying to find more of his work I found Acousticbrony's Pony themes and thought they were some coolest things I ever heard. I haven't heard much of Mandopony's work yet.

MedicShy said...

Mando won, hooves down

AcousticBrony had a slightly better flow to his singing, but MandoPony had more complex lyrics.
Overall, I vote for MandoPony, since I know how difficult it is to use larger words in rap battle.

MandoPony's the beige one, right?

InquisitorM said...

<== Screaming YouTube fan

MANDO FTW

Ten said...

Hmmm having a hard time choosing my winner as both were epic. I would have to say.......

Acoustic Brony!

Sgt Byrd said...

AB won this battle with the line:

"Not even Fluttershy loves you"

Epic.

RainbowDash said...

two sh*ts on the normal epic rap battle of histories they said that in a line

Rafasde said...

"Not even Fluttershy loves you."

Ouch. My vote goes to Acoustic.

DJ N1GHTM4R3 said...

All I want to know us why they are crapping lightning? Are they just THAT cool?

PrinceWhateverer said...

ooooh SH*yay*T!! i wanna go Acoustic as im also a UK artist... but Mando was SICK! they we're BOTH SICK!! GAH!! CANT DECIDE!! >,,,,<

Ponyship said...

They're both amazing!

EKG_MEDiK said...

i feel as if everyone lost watching this IMO...

Doc Steedly said...

TIE!!! They were both so epic. I cannot decide who'd I go and vote for. Oh well, I'll just sit back and enjoy the tune!

Reelix said...

MandoPony definitely wins - The other person was just throwing out mass insults, and seeing how much he could swear in as short a time as possible

Evdog said...

I don't know who won, but I know RainbowCrash88 lost. XD

Sharks1288 said...

I would have laughed SO HARD if Mic the Mic chimed in at the end and showed them all how it's done.

dmon2 said...

This is no contest. Mando crushed AB.
