# Furious CEO Freestylin' Videos The Steve Jobs vs. Bill Gates Rap Battle is Epic By Vivian Lau | Published 2012-06-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steve-jobs-vs-bill-gates-rap-battle References: [smosh](http://www.smosh.com/smosh-pit/lists/epic-rap-battle-steve-jobs-vs-bill-gates) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=njos57IJf-0) To personify the heated debate between Macs and PCs, the rivalry between the two tech giants is illustrated in the Steve Jobs vs. Bill Gates Rap Battle. Getting down and dirty right away, each company is bashed for the usual complaints -- Apple products are too expensive, and Microsoft's newest products lack the aesthetic appeal that Apple thrives on. The hilarious dialogue is a witty back and forth banter between two of the world's greatest innovative minds. Produced by the ERB', this video is one of many famous rap offs that they performs. Others include Cleopatra vs. Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley vs. Michael Jackson and even the Mario Bros vs. the Wright Brothers. There are endless rivalries in the corporate world that resonate equally as strong with their fans (like iPhone vs. Blackberry or Xbox vs. PS3). This video is a much better way to dish out the insults than the typical Facebook comment stream. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/computers) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Tech Rivalries:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative marketing campaigns that highlight the rivalry between competing tech giants. - **Creative Rap Battles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create engaging rap battles between brands or industry figures to increase brand awareness and drive social media engagement. - **Humorous Corporate Commentaries:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore creative ways to showcase corporate rivalries through humorous and entertaining content to captivate audiences and build brand loyalty. ### Who This Affects Most - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative products and services that challenge established tech giants and meet evolving consumer needs. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create compelling content, such as rap battles or humorous commentaries, that entertain audiences and leverage popular culture references to drive audience engagement. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize creative and unconventional advertising strategies, such as rap battles or humor, to capture consumer attention, differentiate brands, and create a memorable brand image. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Epic Rapper-Backed Soda Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-your-gameday-epic.md) - [Holiday Diss Tracks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-rizzler.md) - [Cinematic Video Game Spots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/droga5s-wake-up.md) - [Amusing Work Platform Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monday-platform.md) - [Comic-Themed Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-heroes-vs-villains.md) - [Streamlined Software Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rule-your-business.md) - [Animated Charging Cable Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pill-people.md) - [Tech-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-crocs.md) - [New Tech Product Announcements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-tech-products.md)
