FOREWORD:
I wanted to upload this as a way to publicly preserve a project of mine I will most likely not be continuing. Macbeth vs Nixon was a battle I started working in late 2021-early 2022 back when I was taking both an English and History class in school, both of which covered Macbeth and Nixon respectively in great detail. I thought these people were really interesting and felt awesome to work on - two leaders who were corrupted by power and had their own actions lead to their downfall. 

The audio for it was done pretty quickly in 2022, and I wanted this to be a live action battle. I got Carrick aka RaccoonBroVA, who voiced Nixon, to body act as him also, and he filmed a great performance. Before playing Fred visually in Arthur vs Fred by Discord Rap Battles, Nixon was originally Carrick's first live action role; the first he ever filmed. The body actor for Macbeth unfortunately did not film as quickly in comparison, and eventually it got to a point where the battle kept aging the longer it took for filming to be complete. 

I decided to cut my losses in 2024 and ultimately scrap this project, as I didn't want to be weighed down by such an old project when I could be working on new ideas I'm more passionate about. This idea is still good, and maybe someday I'll get back to it, but for now it'll remain a relic of my earlier years as a rap battle creator.
