Information on the rapper

Dr. Egon Spengler is one of the four Ghostbusters, along with Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, and Winston Zeddemore. He is the brains of the team, having invented the Proton Packs, the Muon Trap, and the Containment Unit. Spengler often tends to be bookish and socially awkward, however, still remaining largely efficient and straight-to-the-point when it comes to his attitude. He is portrayed by the late Harold Ramis in the films and voiced by Maurice LaMarche in the animated series.

The 2021 installment Ghostbusters: Afterlife begins with Egon's death, features his estranged daughter and her own son and daughter among its main characters, and ends with him appearing in spirit, portrayed by the digitally recreated likeness of Harold Ramis.

Verse 1:

Are you tired of two geeks in mustaches

Who can manage to be boring with explosions and crashes?

If you, or the Lorax, wanna bust like we do,

Give us a call. We're ready to defeat you!

Ghostbusters, flow crushers, get the job done!

Spitting out the lyrics like, "We got one!"

Get the people moving like the Statue of Liberty!

Try to beat us in a battle? Man, you gotta be kidding me!

The delivery of Stantz stands straight like my main man's slinky!

I collect spores. Tell him 'bout the Twinkie.

Like your show, it's all fluff and filler.

I'll kick your hiney, man. I'm a savage killer.

Verse 2:

That's enough from the walrus and dickless the clown.

Let's show these myth bitches how we do it downtown!

Grab your stick, hold'n, heat 'em up, smoking!

High speed shows your ass get beat in slow motion!

We roast show hosts when our flows cross streams!

Pumping out blockbusters, while you work behind the scenes!

It's a rap test, dummy, and you're both getting crashed!

We came, we saw, we kicked your ass!

Trivia

  • He is the fourth fictional character to canonically die after appearing in ERB, after Hodor, Daenerys Targaryen and Rick Grimes. Other characters, particularly comic book superheroes, may have also been depicted dying at some point after their ERB appearances, but these deaths were not the definitive fates of the characters' main incarnations.
  • He is the only member of his group not to be played by someone new to ERB.
