Repost from Mar 11, 2013. | Nikola Tesla vs Thomas Edison | ERP | The YouTube series "Epic Rap Battles of History" has taken on the grandfathers of electrical power: Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla.
Edison hired Tesla in 1882, and the two worked together for a few years. Their relationship ended on bad terms over a misunderstanding about US $50,000 that Edison had promised to Tesla, and the two were mortal enemies ever since.
It was Edison who rose to fame and acclaim, while Tesla peaked, then languished, regarded as a crackpot. To be fair, he was conducting some pretty mad-scientist experiments; which, to the chagrin of academia, turned up some pretty spot-on results.
It wasn't, however, until recent decades that Tesla's genius has been widely recognized, and the result of that is a polarization between Tesla fans and Edison fans, as the former believe that Edison unashamedly stole ideas from Tesla.
Clearly, there's only one way this debate can be solved: with an Epic Rap Battle. (Or you could go read some books and make up your own mind. You could start with Edison: A Biography and Tesla: Man out of Time, but there's no reason you can't watch the rap battle, too.)
Nikola Tesla faces off against Thomas Edison in this episode of Epic Rap Battles of History. Who won? You decide.
