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 called in (or painted in) two of his most famous book characters, the Cat in the Hat (Nice Peter) and Things 1 & 2 (EpicLLOYD) to rap for him. He was portrayed by Mickey Meyer

Information on the rapper

Theodore Seuss Geisel (March 2, 1904 – September 24, 1991) was an American writer, poet, and cartoonist most widely known for his children's books written under the name Dr. Seuss, Theo LeSieg, and, in one case, Rosetta Stone. He published 46 children's books, which were often characterized by imaginative characters, simplistic rhymes, and a frequent use of trisyllabic meter. His most celebrated books include Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, and Horton Hears a Who. Some of his more popular books have been made into movies, such as How the Grinch Stole Christmas.




Verse 1

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

Cat in the Hat:


Now let's see how you rap versus Things One and Two!

Things 1 & 2:

Oh no, we'll smash your globe!


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!



All does not end well when we bust out our cage!



  • Dr. Seuss is one of two rappers to alter their name purely because of pronunciation issues ("Seuss" in German rhymes with "voice", not "goose", as was common in the US.) Oprah Winfrey is the other.
  • Dr. Seuss's background changes throughout the battle from a hillside, to a boat, to a classroom, to a cemetery.
  • Dr. Seuss is the second rapper that doesn't rap on his own. Instead, he gets his storybook characters to rap for him. The first was Stephen Hawking, who used his voice synthesizer to rap.
    • However, Stephen Hawking didn't need any support from other characters.
      • This makes Seuss the only character with a title card to not be able to rap on his own, due to his throat cancer in real life.
