Starblazer - This track was the last to be created as it was inspired by the artist style of my cover artist, Lazer Libby. Also, the first tv show I remember going gonzo over... Starblazers. I hope you hear musical shoutouts to 2001/Thus Spoke Zarthusasa and the 5-note Close Encounters motif. Unconditionally old school with the vocoded hook, sampled shouts during the breakbeat. I try to have the whole song break down in the middle, cut the tempo, etc and then climb back into the 2001 music. Can you identify all of the sci-fi girls I give shout outs to? I wish this could be even better. "I'm the rhymer super-colliding, climbing grime to get some lime, Starblazin"
lyrics
RIP, Columbia
RIP, Challenger
RIP, Apollo One
on the pad lost but not forgotten
hook:
starblazerrrr
rappin' your face off from outer space
starblazerrrr
yeah i'm nice dont make me tell you twice
starblazerrrr
blackhole, whitehole, mic control
starblazerrrr
verse1-12bars
NASA's first MC, rhyme voyager
billions and billions I destroy ya
wave motion gun, tons of fun
slingshot effect around the sun
shootin' pro-tawns, fightin Cy-lawns
why is this all gone so wrong?
so in song, cross event horizon,
find pride in beats and rhymin, yo
say hello to that fellow, Deltron
genetically optimized like Khan
I'm the rhymer super-collider
climbing grim to get some lime Starblazin'
-hook
verse2-12bars
dilithium crystals, laser pistols,
space waste makes me bristle
one visit to trash dump Earth
recognize what a planet's worth
earthlings, knee deep in things
in orbit there's garbage rings
previous generations wasters
slowly killing mother nature
for every sky-high Utopian city
live peeps in wastelands you pity
like Flanders, okely dokely
think globally, act nobly, locally
-hook
Mission Control... This is Apollo 49.
We have a problem....
i wanna launch... i wanna launch
i wanna launch right now,
into space and i'm never coming down
Starblazer is the name I'm known
hijack the track, tempo and microphone, Imma
space raver with a pack of Life Savers
Wint-O-Green, that's my flavor
Tri- bo- luminescence
science, is the coolest to mess with
Judy Jetson is next on my list to kiss
Trillian, a must on the list of bliss
oh please keep ya Six's and Three's
give me Starbuck with a side of Dee
Keep the cheerleader, *she's just a girl*
Nikki Sanders rocks my world
Kaylee, baby, work my engine while
the Fifth Element - gets my attention
you'll find me, in my galactic mansion
chillin with *all* the Doctor's companions
my next song's about Amy Wong
gettin' lost in Carrie Anne Moss' thong
tempo 108->118
verse3, 12bars
space radiation cause mutation,
deformation, in every case and
race to my asteriod plantation to
recreationally practice procreation
without provocation, subjugation from
alien nation-state corporation
intimindation wanting strangulation, of my
respiration, abbreviation of my
life, I want no limitatations, just
jubliation and celebration,
drinkin' libations, rockin' Playstation,
full of elation - Starblazin'
