To the people asking why this video is the least popular; I imagine the cross section of people who like hockey, skateboarding, rap, and novelty songs is pretty small haha.

[Buffington]

"184 world records between us... and I hold 183 of em" that line ended it

[Bwizz]

they could've cast the actual Tony Hawk to play himself in this and no one would've noticed

[greenisnotprimary]

The “Oiler alert, you’re about to get traded” line isn’t really that big of a punch, but just the way it’s delivered makes it my favorite line in the entire battle

[tylerentertainment]

"You're on your fourth wife. Talk about the X Games."

HOLY FUCK
THAT WAS SAVAGE

[nikerdz]

Best flow: Tony
Best disses: Wayne
Overall Winner: Wayne's hot wife

[craigwallace]

Best flow: Tony Hawk
Best Disses: Wayne Gretzky
Overall winner: The background designers

[bautistacardozo]

I still think about "you'll be speechless after 3 periods, like an elipsis" daily. It's been years now and that line is just too fucking good lol

[Hanakin-Sidewalker]

“You and I have so many world records between us. 184, that’s plenty of ‘em...and I’ve set 183 of them!”

Tony Hawk crumpled under the weight of that flex.

[SnakeMC]

Ok, I have no idea who Gretzky is and I know almost nothing about his sport. Also I am a huge Tony Hawk fan. So why do I think Gretzky won?

[pagingdrwhom]

Gretzky’s line about “this goofy-footed geek” is pure genius. In skateboarding, depending on what foot you push with, it’s referred to as goofy or regular. Tony Hawk is a goofy skater, so it’s perfect.

[Heirrick]

An underrated part of this battle that I've only just noticed after watching this 15+ times, is that Tony says" Keep your mittens on Gretzky, you're too clean" and then in Gretzky's verse, he throws his gloves off, the action in hockey that indicates that you are ready to fight. It's also significant because, as Tony already stated, "You're too clean" meaning Gretzky isn't the type to fight. So that Gretzky actually does so in this battle shows that Tony is someone worth fighting. Small detail, but really adds to this battle.

[armagedoc]

People: Tony has the best flow lmao

Frederick: *What about a flute busting Prussian?*

[marcoxxi]

In my opinion, this is the video that shows how ERB's videos are timeless. almost 5 years later and it still looks amazing and the quality is just as good as modern battles. Most of the rap battles dont run on trends, and it makes them a joy to watch no matter when you are watching it. Thank you, ERB

[littlekuribohimposte]

My grandma actually taught Gretzky in school. She always told me “It was a good thing he could play hockey, because he couldn’t do much else.”

[sonicbelmont]

This is easily the most underrated ERB. Not only is the beat and flow fantastic, but Peter's Tony Hawk impression is spot on. I don't think it's appreciated because he just looks bored the whole time... But that's sort of just how Tony is? Obviously when he's excited he'll smile, but if Tony was in a rap battle I guarantee this is how he'd look while doing it.

[xenozeno]

I just realised how weird it must be for the athletes in the battle to watch a random YouTube rapper personally insult them.

[senbontorii]

Gretzky absolutely mauled Tony in this. He came after his bank account, his love life, his achievements, even dissed Tony's skill at his own sport.

[federicopalacios]

Gretzky is seriously the GOAT of sports, the guy is so insanely far ahead of everyone in hockey, no one has ever been even close to having as many records in their respective sports as he does. The guy had so many points in his career (goals + assists) that if he never scored a single goal, he would still be top scorer of ALL TIME, merely on points granted by assists, that's absolute insanity.

[gckfggz]

is nobody gonna talk about how good the effects and backgrounds were?
