Information on the rapper
Grigori Yelfimovich Rasputin (January 22, 1869 - 29/30 December, 1916) was a Russian mystic and advisor to the Russian Imperial family (the Romanovs). After gaining a reputation as a holy man and being able to heal the sick, Rasputin was invited by Tsar Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra as a healer for the tsar's son, Tsarevich Alexei. In the following years he became very influential at the court of Tsar Nicholas, being seen as a psychic and faith healer. He impressed many people with his knowledge and his ability to explain the Bible uncomplicated.

As Rasputin became more popular, he also gained more enemies. Rasputin got the nickname "the mad monk" because he held many drunken parties and was rumored to be heavily interested in sexual relations with his followers. Alexandra grew very dependent on Rasputin and rumours circulated about her possible sexual involvement with him. He gained several roles in high government, by which he gained great influence on matters of state. This helped to destroy the general respect for the Tsar and Tsarina. Rasputin died on 29 or 30 December, being killed by a group of nobleman. They first poisoned him by giving him poisoned wine and pastry's with cyanide, but Rasputin survived. Then he was shot and stabbed several times, but he was still alive. He eventually was thrown into the ice-cold Neva River. However, the regime's image continued being tainted by the scandal. Within 3 months after his death, Tsar Nicholas lost his throne and the revolution had started.

Lyrics
Cool mustache, Wario

Try messing with the mad monk, you'll be sorry, yo

How many dictators does it take

To turn an empire into a union of ruinous states?

It's a disgrace what you did to your own people

Yo daddy beat you like a dog and now you're evil

You're from Georgia, sweet Georgia,

And history books unfold ya,

As a messed up motherfucker bent in the mind

You built a superpower but it paid the price

With the endless destruction of Russian lives

You're a man of steel, I spit kryptonite!

Big dick mystic, known to hypnotize

I can end you with a whisper to your wife!
