Dr. Seuss battled William Shakespeare in Dr. Seuss vs Shakespeare. He did not rap himself due to having throat cancer in real life; instead, he painted in three of his most famous children's book characters: the Cat in the Hat, portrayed by Nice Peter, and Things 1 & 2, portrayed by EpicLLOYD, to rap for him. He was portrayed by Mickey Meyer.

ERBoH Bio
There once was a man, Theodore Seuss Geisel was his name. His books were so wondrous, the fans they all came! He wrote books about boats and books about cats, and these cats were so crazy they often wore hats! The words were made up! Like Grinch and like Nool! In Nool lived Horton, an elephant, so cool! Seuss drew characters that caused havoc for me and for you, characters like Sneeches, plus Thing One and Thing Two! Oh, such worlds he created, making children elated, with the places he'd go, deep, but not complicated. But do you want to know the silliest, sneakiest, most hum-dingerist thing of all? This Dr. Seuss is me! He's not a character at all! A political cartoonist who had bigger stories to tell, and you know folks, I think, if I do say so myself, I tell and draw them pretty darn, diggily, wiggily, well!
Lyrics
Verse 1:
The Cat in the Hat:
I would not, could not, on a boat
Read any of the boring-ass plays you wrote!
Even Horton doesn't wanna hear you,
And Cindy Lou Who is afraid to go near you!
You bore people to death!
You leave a classroom looking like the end of Macbeth!
I entertain a child of any age!
You gotta translate what you said on the opposite page!
How you gonna battle with the Cat in the Hat?
Little kids get scared when I step on the mat!
Think your ruffle-neck ass gonna rap to that?
I got a best-selling book about me coming back!
Verse 2:
The Cat in the Hat:
You rap fast, you do. Yes, you rap fast, it's true.
Now, let's see how you rap versus Things 1 and 2!
Things 1 & 2:
Oh, no, we'll smash your globe!
Yo, you may have wrote the script, but now we running the show!
You can take your fancy words and send 'em back home to your mama!
Break our foot off in your ass with our feetie pajamas!
Man, we'll cook you up and eat you with some ham and green eggs!
We'll break offa your legs. Make no mistake, we in a rage!
All does not end well when we bust out our cage!
You getting upstaged, Bill. Yo, you just got played!
Trivia
- Seuss is the second title rapper to not rap on his own. Instead, he gets his storybook characters to rap for him.
- This makes him the only character with a title card to not be able to rap on his own. In this case, it was due to Seuss' throat cancer in real life.
- Dr. Seuss' location changes throughout the battle from a hillside, to a boat, to a classroom, to a cemetery.
