My question, anybody seen the new Rap battle of history?!

[Kpmonkeygirl]

Everyone likes Princess Mononoke! ^.^

"My question, anybody seen the new Rap battle of history?!"--- I don't know what that is.

[egrrr]

Yup, I gotta admit there's not a lot of flops for me when it comes to studio ghibli.  I am interested in Miyazaki's adaptation of the borrowers, 'The Secret World of Arrietty' but I missed the big screen released so now I gotta wait until the blu ray comes out. 

As far as the "Rap Battles of History" it's a Youtube channel by Nicepeter and epicLloyd.  It takes two absolutely ridiculous opponents ie Napoleon Bonaparte vs Napoleon Dynamite, Stephen Hawking Vs Albert Einstein, Beethoven Vs Justin Bieber etc etc.  The latest battle was between the Mario brothers Vs the Wright brothers, they're worth checking out if you're willing to kill a few minutes.

[Kpmonkeygirl]

That sounds interesting! I will check it out!

[Haunterluvcookies]

I want to cosplay from Howl's moving castle as Howl! I love his movies... they are the best.
