She started from the bottom
Now I finish on top
[laughter]
You said 'more vigorous'
That was more vigorous!
Hi, I'm Whitney Avalon
and I'm Steve Gossett
and we make Princess Rap Battles
We've done a lot of traditional princessy
characters
but it was about time we brought in a villain
Maleficent is just so fun
We're going evil
Well, you are
So we reached out to Yvonne Strahovski
to play Daenerys
I'm the mother of dragons, you can't burn
me
Yvonne's one of the most fun, talented,
likable, beautiful people 
that I've ever met in my entire life
We should do a version where I go
Yvonne had never seen Game of Thrones
So she watched 3 or 4 seasons of the show
in just a couple weeks
Would it be funny if we got a version for
when they say 'it should be called Game of Butts'
and we all went [gasp]
For Maleficent's side, we used Diaval,
her raven that transforms into a man
That guy
My name's Nathan Graham Smith 
and I'm playing Diaval
[crow noises]
He's doing this absurd high-energy character
that just cracks me up
Hi, I'm Bianca DeGroat and I play Missandei
and I'm Lorenzo Adams 
and I'm playing Grey Worm
I am a friend of Whitney's
We did a commercial together a few years ago
I met Steve years ago playing Starcraft at a tournament
Don't we look amazing?
We have amazing costumes, 
amazing costume designer
I am Sarah Jeanne
I am the costume designer
Sarah Jeanne makes a lot of the costumes for
our rap battles from scratch
Maleficent's dress
Daenerys' whole outfit
Missandei's dress
Grey Worm's armor
Hey, I'm Greg and I'm playing Wayne
Hey, I'm Brad Gage and I'm playing Garth
Our Wayne and Garth were so adorable
Wayne and Garth were in character 
on set all day
Schwing!
Schwing schwing!
The day before the shoot we got everybody together
for a rehearsal to practice their dance moves
Forget spinning wheels
you should conjure some dicks
These hocus pocus jokers
best get out of our grills
The only thing mad about me
is my skills
Alexandra, our production designer, did a
great job of making it look like 
two separate locations
even though you're looking at the same thing
And our crew redecorated it thoroughly to
make it look like a cross 
between Qarth and Meereen
Qarth? Kwarth? Someone tell me!
Qarth?
F**********k!
Qarth.
So, in the most recent Maleficent movie, 
she had these huge cheekbones
But ultimately we decided not to use them
Our friend Aaron Moles did 
the VFX for us on this one
and I really enjoy how he made 
Maleficent appear in the throne room
I think Steve was most excited about the idea of
Maleficent bringing Daenerys 
into her animated world
We hired MC Griffin and Alex Lambropoulos
to help bring this vision to life
I like your style, kid,
but it's time to retire
Spoiler alert:
I'm about to spit fire
[evil laughter]
We also filmed Yvonne doing the last verse
as a reference for our animators
I'm the mother of dragons
You can't burn me
The best don't rest
It's my destiny
So send me back home
I've an empire to build
or you'll scream when you die
like the last witch I killed
Thanks for watching our behind the scenes
Thank you to all of you for your comments
and your enthusiasm for what it is we do
We're working on more rap battles 
so stick around
I don't wanna stop filming this!
