MC Hawking

I know it's old, so some of you may have come across it before, but I've just discovered it and to say that I'm hooked is an understatement.

Really, it's a parody on gangster rap, using a fictitious the real life alter ego of Stephen Hawking, MC Hawking. Somehow making a voice synthesizer sound lyrical, the real genius lies in the lyrics, though with him regularly 'spitting' about popping a cap in the 'ass' of those MIT punk bitches, and the odd parody of big rap hits. For example his parody of Straight Outta Compton goes a bit like this.

Straight out of Oxford a crazy motherf**ker named Hawking.

When I be rocking the mic you be gawking,

at me 'cause I'm a bad mama-jamma,

you wanna lock me up put my ass in the slamma.

But f**k that sh*t 'cause no jail can hold me,

you can't even catch me much less control me.

So if you see me coming you better duck,

'cause Stephen Hawking is crazy as f**k.

Or his Parody of O.P.P. by Naughty By Nature, with the chorus going like this.

You down with entropy?

Yeah, you know me! (x3)

Who's down with entropy?

Every last homey!

Then the actual genius comes in and we get this in the second verse.

Defining entropy as disorder's not complete,

'cause disorder as a definition doesn't cover heat.

So my first definition I would now like to withdraw,

and offer one that fits thermodynamics second law.

First we need to understand that entropy is energy,

energy that can't be used to state it more specifically.

In a closed system entropy always goes up,

that's the second law, now you know what's up.

Anyway, I've done enough talking about this, so I'll just add one more thing, which is the icing on the cake, really. The album is of course called 'A Brief History Of Rhyme'. You simply can't argue with that.
