Rappers’ Delight Club

My life-long search for an eloquent example of hip-hop’s maternal veneration that wasn’t expressed retro-actively through violent retribution is over!

ma mom she nice
she gives me ice
and later we all eat chicken and rice

No wait! The reason I listened to Rapper’s Delight Club is cos it’s a bunch of elementary school kids chatting in a seriously old school rap style over JENS LEKMAN beats! Hell yes!

my name is kee-andre
i’m rap’s king kong
i’m the only boy in this entire song

but that’s ok
your raps are lame
you can’t even spell your own name!

diss of the century? over a sufjan stevens sample? by a five year-old? yes!
