In the fifth episode of the second season of "Drop the Mic," we see two epic rap battles between four talented actors. The first battle is between Darren Criss and Gaten Matarazzo. Darren Criss is well known for his roles on "Glee" and "American Crime Story," while Gaten Matarazzo is best recognized for his portrayal of Dustin in the popular Netflix series "Stranger Things."

The two actors start off exchanging insults about their careers, with Darren accusing Gaten of being a one-hit wonder and Gaten throwing shade at Darren's numerous Broadway credits. The battle then shifts to personal jabs, with Darren slamming Gaten's young age and lack of life experience, while Gaten mocks Darren's good looks and typical Hollywood actor persona. The battle is full of catchy one-liners and clever rhymes, but it's up to the audience to decide who comes out on top.

Next up is Chandler Riggs, famous for his role as Carl on "The Walking Dead," versus Chad L. Coleman, who played Tyreese on the same show. The battle is off to a roaring start, with Chandler taking jabs at Chad's age and experience in the industry, while Chad hits back by taking digs at Chandler's character's unfortunate fate on "The Walking Dead."

As the battle progresses, the insults get more personal. Chandler accuses Chad of having a temper and getting into fights on set, while Chad hits back by questioning Chandler's acting skills and implying that he only got the role on "The Walking Dead" because of his father's connections in the industry. The two actors go back and forth, with each trying to outdo the other in terms of insults and wordplay.

Throughout both battles, the emcee James Corden is on hand to provide commentary and keep the audience entertained. The audience also gets to see a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the episode, with interviews with the actors and the writers who come up with the insult-filled rhymes.

In the end, it's up to the audience to decide which actors come out on top in each battle. As always, the battles are full of quick-witted insults, clever rhymes, and plenty of laughs. Whether you're a fan of the actors involved or just enjoy a good rap battle, "Drop the Mic" season 2 episode 5 is sure to deliver all the entertainment you're looking for.
