Helen Mirren is the type of person to diss you intellectually and psychologically with a straight face.

This was like watching a disrespectful kid get owned by the teacher you didn't know could rap lol

She's a true lady. She knows her worth, is witty, has a sharp tongue and is able to laugh - about herself, too. What a great role model.

I love this one because she destroys him without constantly bringing up his weight like other people.

"They are not my competition they're my ride or die!" A TRUE QUEEN.

This is the only battle I've seen so far where it wasn't even close - Helen scared me

My reaction to Dame Helen Mirren's roasts: "Stop, stop! He's already dead!"

“You know I taught your little mister to tingle” is the best line EVER. I loved that movie. 😂😂

She KNOWS she's a queen

who knew Queen's English would sound so badass in a rap lol

"found in Jimmy Fallon's trash" burn killed me, James could've never recovered after that she won

imagine Helen being your grandmother, and rapping a Drop the Mic style lullaby every night

Helen mirren in a rap battle is something I didn’t know I needed

Long live the queen.

"you've been to Hel-en back" holycrap that was smart

Who’s the ghost writer on these things ? Like they are really good.

“The only role you played is GUY WHO BEGGED TO BE HERE” lmao . Helen wasn’t playing on this :D

Helens entry was gold XD 1:03

[Round 1 - James Corden]: Helen is basically an icon in her craft When I heard she wanted to battle me, all I could do was laugh Back home, she’s considered the actress you have to fear Were in America now, Meryl Streep lives here You dated Liam Neeson back in 1982 He left you real quick, he wasn’t TAKEN with you Helen’s so beloved, she’s in her own class She played the queen, but now she’s a royal pain in my ass [Round 1 - Helen Mirren]: I’m the one you should fear, wherever I go If I’m a pain in your ass, that leaves a lot of room to grow You stand out not for games or bander Other shows do comedy, you just pander You thought you could beat me, sorry, game over I’ll cook this beef his wife and her lover He’s obsessed with my exes, sorry James, I’m not single But you know I taught your little mister to tingle [Round 2 - James Corden]: Helen was impressive, that’s a real change Played a queen six times, wow, that’s real range America thinks your classy, but it’s all for show The accent only sounds smart, trust me, I’d know Your outdated, overrated and I’m tearing you apart I’ll knock this national treasure outta Gosford Park See, I hit home runs, you should stay on the bench I’m not playing around like your not dame Judi Dench [Round 2 - Helen Mirren]: I’ve played the queen, but also warriors and witches Crime lords and wizards, bosses and bitches Detective and whores, from Altman to Shakespeare The only role you ever played is “guy that begged to be here Poor James Corden will never be satisfied Until you find a way to get attention deep fried But this battle is fun, I’m glad that you asked It’s the only bit you didn’t find in Jimmy Fallon’s trash [Round 3 - James Corden]: You’re called British Royalty, but clearly you’re not Even in Hollywood as a queen, Megan Markle took your spot You appeared in the last Fast and Furious without warning You turned the whole franchise into very slow and boring It’s a shame, in Harry Potter, you never played a teacher And your role in James Bond, wait, you weren’t in that either I’m sorry that I had to be the one to take you down I just defeated a queen, someone hand me my crown [Round 3 - Helen Mirren]: You fucked up, James, you desperate tater tot A woman’s worth isn’t credits, or who says that she’s hot? Boy's club bullshit, I’m done with that crap You're welcome for this headline: “Helen Mirren can rap” Compare me to Meryl, Judi, Maggie, but why? They’re not my competition, they’re my ride or die See, women are a force to be reckoned with And I reckoned I wrecked you, you’ve been to hell and back, bitch

I love Helen for not only being so classy and incredible (as usual) but that last verse was a feminist slay, she raised up all the women James tried comparing her to and I’m living for it. ✨

She doesn’t look impressed once 😂😂😂

Compare me to Meryl, Judi, Maggie... but why they're not my competition, they're my ride or die. Gold. Perfect. The actress queens. I totally imagine that.

Helen Mirrin looked really satisfied when she roasted James Corden. Lmao

All her lines were killer. “I’ll cook this beef, his wife and her lover!” OMG, and that’s a reference to one of her movies

She nailed it! She is a QUEEN and a TOTAL BADASS!

4:32 that jimmy Fallon joke was pretty damn good 😂😂

Helen Mirren is the quintessential woman, beauty, class, grace, humor, the epitome of the title "Woman"

"They're not my competition, they're my ride-or-die." YAAAAAAS BICH YAAAAAS QUEEN

A lot of people do Drop the Mic to make jokes, but Helen came do destroy James, and she did.

The dame who doesn't give a damn 😂❤

I love Helen's Personality, she is just so calm.

Wow! She roasted him with a side of super hot sauce!! 🤣🤣🤣🌶🌶🌶🌶

She IS royalty. .love her. And I LOVE THIS !!

James basically lost the SECOND Helen Mirren stepped foot on the stage.

She was so lovely in person as well. A serious gem!

Off with his head 😂😂, I love you Helen sassy Queen 👑

"You thought that you could beat me? Sorry game over. I'll cook this beef his wife and her lover."😂😂

Drop the mic with Adele 😍

Honestly this was the best one I’ve ever watched. Helen was brilliant.

that "you've been to Hellen back" line was lowkey fire

Thus marks my new favorite drop the mic battle

people: stop acting like a princess me: **helen entering the stage**

"Guy who beg to be here"..... Iconic one.. Coming to his show and ruling the stage.. That's truly a QUEEN...

This NEVER gets old. Helen is a queen!!!

When James started at Helen, I was feeling worried coz it’s so weird to have someone take down someone so iconic but Helen kicked ass, so brilliant!!! Good going guys!!! Love it :)

Damn she killed him!😍😂

She and dame Judi Dench. National treasures!

what a classy diva . total respect for her .

This was such an adorable rap battle I love Helen Mirren ahahaha

Queen Mirren 👑

She didn’t just insult his pride, she demolished his sanity.

Helen is such 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 BADASS 👏🏻🔥

Expected real cringe but Helen killed it!!! James' verses were lit as well

"It's the only bit you didn't find in Jimmy Fallon's trash." 🔥

Have to keep coming back to this one. She is ruthless, you can see it on James’ face. Lol

She had it from the beginning “Bow down”😂 Helen is awesome! I love her!!!! She is classy and badass!

Helen is such a hoot 😂

Helen Mirren walking out as queen is my spirit animal

"You said that was strictly between us. " Haha. " they're not my competition they're my ride or die. " She's an icon

I loveeeeeeee Helen, and honestly this drop the mic is still the best

She’s such a great sport for doing this.

"you've been too hel-en back bxtch"😂

" HELEN AND BACK!" OML that was the biggest burn down in oldies history!!!!!!!! KEEP OT UP GRAMA 😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😂😂😁😁😗😗😙😙😀😙😙😗😗😈😎😎😄

Girls, this is how you SLAY. Learn from the Queen!

gosh i want to look like her in leather jeans when i'm 70+

WTF Helen Mirren SPITTIN' !!!! "Desperate tater tot "!! Lmao 😂

"Woman are a force to be reckoned with and I reckon i wrecked you, you've been hell-en back b*tch" I can't stop laughing fgfmgmfgf

THIS WOMAN!!!!! FOR TOO MAJESTIC FOR WORDS 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 When James put the crown on everyone’s clapping for him out of pity

Found in Jimmy Fallon's trash,Major Burn from Helen!! Lol

"Off with his head" 😂😂😂😂😂

After seeing this one, I’m even more convinced that we need to see Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen do this. It would be epic.

I could totally see one of those 64 Cadillac convertibles with the hydraulic suspension rollin down the street with Helen, Judy, and Meryl, and Maggie in it, front bouncing like one of those Dr Dre videos in the 90s.

Me: oh wow look it's getting late I should probably go to bed.... *Sees video* *Wakes the whole house with my squealing*

"You desperate tater tot!"

Loved the reference for the beef, cook ,wife 😂❤

That head nod a 4:38 was so freaking KAWAIIIII

Helen is so chill nothing phases her

"Kneel, Baby Kneel", GAVIN AND STACEY

She plays a sniper in RED, she sniped James right off the pedestal!

This is the best one. Hands down.

Mirren slayed - "Poor James Corden will never be satisfied until you find a way to get attention deep fried" !!!

OMG! There literally is nothing she cannot do! amazing! Bow down 👑🌹💖🙆

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover references are so so Gold 👍😋❤️

My god , I've always admired and loved helen mirren for all that she is and what she has done, but watching this has taken my admiration of her to another level. This was brilliant viewing, and I'm literally stunned at how well she did rapping 👏🙌😘😘

Helen Mirren is a Queen.

best rapper "in this time slot"

One of the best one by far

This is the best of all 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Helen Mirren saying "Kneel, Baby, kneel." satisfied a sexual fantasy that I didn't even know I had.

“Poor James you will never be satisfied until you find a way to get attention deep fried.” That is the line of the battle for me😂

Just watching this more than 2 years after is aired, but boy is it funny and beautiful!!!!!!

No matter what, I love him and all his guests. And Mirren is just wonderful!!!

This was awesome!!!! Helen Mirren is proof that she has a punch to her comebacks!!!! Thank God she won because she had lines that were straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥

When will Patrick Stewart be rap battling Ian McKellen?

"in this time slot". Reggie for the win. 😁🤣😁🤣

"He's obsessed with my exes but sorry James, I'm not single. ButYou know I taught your little mister to tingle" 💀

Holy hell!!! Go Ms. Helen!!! Major props to the Lady! 🤗

Finally - this segment is back! ❤️❤️

The only thing you didnt find in Jimmy Fallons trash!! THAT WAS SAVAAAAGEEEEEEEEEE XDDDD OMG

I love this one so much, because she didn't need to bring James' height or weight to diss him.. Absolute legend..
