a chinglish track with digable planet undertones and a nod to Lu Xun whose call to the Mulou Poets of China in the helped give birth to the Cultural Revolution prior to its appropriation by the state, as states do.
lyrics
yo yo yo yo yo yo
yo.yo yo yo yo yo
yo yo yo yo yo yo
Aye
Mulou mei, dolo slay
motivate in my solo way
virtuoso, tracking all this loco game
snag a portal, get you on aboard the train
form and frame, strengthen, formulate
work my mojo, let it collate
first and foremost flagrant while these bozos play
till it’s dro smoke under cocobolo shade
till it's dro smoke under cocobolo shade
and I'm old and gray, toking morsels under cocobolo shade
aye
aye
under cocobolo
摩罗妹 诗人, 谁?
我对, Julie-C, 火大, 哎
心灵 气功 比你 更贵
一次请说如果拖甘贝
我 been great 从我婆婆背
我的家人, 我的朋友, 对
和我一切都是最厉害, 对
力量准备 if 你还在睡
if 你还在睡, let it percolate, medicate the dream mind state
REM, R&R, vibrate
I’ll be here wide wake if 你还在睡
if 你还在睡
if 你还在睡
REM, R&R, vibrate
I’ll be here wide wake if 你还在睡
I am 摩罗 妹, 诗人, 对

Dusted beats and super-evocative rhymes from the lowkey brilliant rap renaissance man. Specs' beats are always on some conjurational magic - gliding, droning, bumping, incorporating environmental noises, etc. Rhymes are most powerful here on The Question - a beautifully melancholy memory drift through old Seattle in the face of the city's gentrification - "First avenue used to smell like Afrosheen". Add his casual-precise delivery and great voice and The Question thumps me hard in the soul. beforeihadapager
