I agree, it was beautiful and deep. Thanks for pointing out the connection.

Re: I found the Too Many Rappers video!
I don't recall who it was, but somebody else on the boards (at least i think it wasn't me) made the connection a few years ago.

Re: I found the Too Many Rappers video!
Wasn't this recorded before he knew he was sick?

Re: I found the Too Many Rappers video!
Good point. According to Wikipedia the song was recorded in 2008 and Yauch was diagnosed in 2009. Although Yauch was sick a few months before being diagnosed so perhaps that fact triggered those lines somehow. I recall purchasing the Record Store Day 12 inch of Too Many Rappers in 2009.

Re: I found the Too Many Rappers video!
That Nexus 6 line isn't on the 2009 version that came out before he was sick. It's only on the 2011 album version where he altered his verse (presumably after he found out about being sick).
2009 Version Yo, I been in the game since before you was born I might still be MCing even after you're gone Strange thought, I know, but my skills still grow The 80s, the 90s, 2000s, and so On and on until the crack of dawn Until the year 3000 and beyond Stay up all night, and I MC and never die Cause death is the cousin of sleep 2011 Version Like a Nexus-6, comin' home to roost Handheld 58 when it's time to get loose Don't need the ear goggles, just put me through the speakers Like a scientist with tubes and beakers Have MCs over my house and fix 'em brunch But you rappers? We goin' out, goin' dutch So pass me the sword, I'll start swingin' Just randomly chopping on a crazy ass mission Last edited by Sir SkratchaLot : 02-06-2015 at 12:35 PM. |

Re: I found the Too Many Rappers video!
Of course, thanks for pointing that out. The timing and lyric change is starting to make more sense now.
