Minecraft vs Lego: Rap Battle

**Minecraft vs Lego: Rap Battle** is a song released on 19 June 2020 by The Stupendium. It features Dan Bull and Epic Rap Battles of History.

## Description

It's the battle of the builders, Blocks V Bricks! Lego and Minecraft, the two block building juggernauts of our times are going head to head! Who's going to take the jagged, angular crown? The Pixelated Paladin or the Mass-Moulded Master Builder?

This is an incredibly special project for me. I wrote the original version of this battle YEARS ago, long before this channel existed. It was among the first 'nerdcore' things I ever wrote! So to be able to dust it off, polish it up with some new lyrics and create it alongside some of my favourite creators is amazing. It would have melted tiny 23 year old Stupes' mind to know the thing I was writing would one day be adapted and performed alongside Dan Bull and the guys behind Epic Rap Battles of History.

So a massive thanks to Dan, Pete and Lloyd for helping me put this project together!

We actually filmed this late last year but other projects kept coming up, so I'm really excited to finally be able to share it with you all. On the plus side, it gave me time to do some stop motion animation for the first time in years! But golly, Lego is expensive... So thank you Patreon for making the final verses possible!

## Lyrics

STEVE - Dan Bull:

You might recognise me from the world’s biggest video game

They call me Steve… hey, did they even give you a name?

I’m the new kid on the block, bringing new blocks to the kids

from the Digital Underground, don’t need boxes and lids

I’m freestyling lines that are dropping you dead

Your hair’s the only stuff coming off the top of your head

You’re still under construction, Can't be having much fun

Amidst a world of bricks, in which your fists can’t even clutch one

You’re a bygone era bargain bin man, your time's passed

Your style’s child’s play, make way for Minecraft.

My blocks are rocks, logs, quartz and Lapis

while yours are plastic... and that’s it

Check my stats look, I'm killing it on  YouTube.

I can fell a forest with my fists, what can you do?

I’ll build an obsidian tomb and lock you up in there

Mind you, I could do that with some Tupperware

LEGO MAN - Stupendium:

Not fair to square raps against this cube

No joints, I still articulate better than you.

I'm a classic, an icon, with style to boot

'Cus no matter what I'm wearing it's a three-piece suit

I have sparked imaginations - every kid in every nation

On and on for generations - you can't stop what I'm creating

Check my Space Station! No tekkit installation.

You’re low-res, homeless, no chance of overtaking

I’m a timeless line of iconic design

While you melt kid’s minds one block at a time

For centuries we left child labour behind

You’ve essentially trapped them all back in the mines

Won’t be fooled by the blocks that you got

Without a mod pack all you’re rocking is rocks

So have fun as you fumble in the dirt

Wanna step to me? You'll see how much that hurts.

CHORUS - Nice Peter:

Two rappers but the battle’s six sided

Boxes in the ring taking swings at the prize it’s

Apparently imperative we get it decided

Which brick clique gets kids excited

STEVE - Dan Bull:

Gather round, everybody, drum roll please

And see the freak with two bum holes, jeez

If you come for Steve, then your loot gets dropped

I'm rocking more blocks than a Rubik's shop

Look the truth is, I don’t wanna keep dissin'

But you’re useless soon as there’s one piece missing

I’m an unlimited fun bringing don of construction

I worked it out myself, you just follow instructions.

I brave caves for days Digging diamonds,

capping creepers, sending spiders to the grave, can you keep up?

Nah, I can end an enderman while he renders in

More architecturally Smart than Simon Henderson

Don’t send for the Avengers, Marvel, I’m assembling

You can’t even take your trousers down without dismembering

Now we’re entering survival mode

you’re just gathering dust, so here’s a final blow

LEGO MAN - Stupendium:

Trample me? You'll need more than a horse

'Cus you're tangling with a toy box tour-de-force

I may be a plaything but I break the mould

Every day three hundred thousand of me get sold

Heard of Overwatch? Did you hope to contend?

‘Cus we’re over Notch - yeah your trend’s at an end

You overshot if you came to depend

On the whims of the net just to get dividends

Your phenomenon topped all the charts - it’s true

But they dropped off faster than Notch dropped you

A decade ago you were top of the views

But you’d still be at the bottom if it wasn’t for Pewds

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But they aren't intimidating when they're all you own

Wanna get a brick slap from some bric-a-brac? Better pack

Your bits into your zip whilst I’m building me a throne

CHORUS - Nice Peter:

Two rappers but the battle’s six sided

Boxes in the ring taking swings at the prize it’s

Apparently imperative we get it decided

Which brick clique gets kids excited

LEGO MINECRAFT - EpicLloyd:

Come on guys, what’s the sense in mindless squabbling?

When you could try to represent all kinds of modelling?

Constructive criticism - pay attention to my offering

‘Cus all the things that we could build together’s mine-boggling

I’m the proof of what we can achieve

Creative? Creator? What’s with all the beef?

Cook up some ideas there’s no need to grief!

Dig down to your hearts, find the parts to believe!
