Information on the rapper

Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones Jr. is the title character and protagonist of the Indiana Jones franchise. George Lucas created the character in homage to the action heroes of 1930s film serials. The character first appeared in the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark, to be followed by Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in 1984, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles from 1992 to 1996, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008, and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny in 2023. George Lucas worked closely with Steven Spielberg in developing the Indiana Jones films, with Spielberg as director. The character is also featured in novels, comics, video games, and other media. Jones is also featured in several Disney theme park attractions.

In his role as a college professor of archaeology, Jones is scholarly and learned in a tweed suit, lecturing on ancient civilizations. At the opportunity to recover important artifacts, Dr. Jones transforms into "Indiana," a "non-superhero superhero" image he has concocted for himself. Indiana Jones has traveled the world and located many artifacts believed to be fictional (i.e. Ark of the Covenant, Sankara Stones, and the Holy Grail) and faced adversaries from Nazis to an Indian Death Cult to the Soviets. According to Spielberg biographer Douglas Brode, Indiana created his heroic figure so as to escape the dullness of teaching at a school. Both of Indiana's personas reject one another in philosophy, creating a duality. Harrison Ford said the fun of playing the character was that Indiana is both a romantic and a cynic, while scholars have analyzed Indiana as having traits of a lone wolf; a man on a quest; a noble treasure hunter; a hardboiled detective; a human superhero; and an American patriot.

Jones is characterized by his iconic accoutrements (bullwhip, fedora, satchel, and leather jacket), wry, witty and sarcastic sense of humor, deep knowledge of ancient civilizations and languages, and fear of snakes. He is famously portrayed by Harrison Ford in the movies.  

Since his first appearance in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones has become one of cinema's most famous characters. In 2003, the American Film Institute ranked him the second greatest film hero of all time. He was also named the Greatest Movie Character by Empire magazine. Entertainment Weekly ranked Indiana 2nd on their list of The All-Time Coolest Heroes in Pop Culture. Premiere magazine also placed Indiana at number 7 on their list of The 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time.

Lyrics

Verse 1:

Let's get this battle crackin'.

I'll leave you like your reboot: flattened!

You used to be the queen of booby trappin'; what happened?

You got too woke to be fun.

Now my Indianaconda don't want none.

There's too many voices inside you.

You burn through women quicker than I do!

I think you shoulda dropped Hollywood as an option

When even Angelina gave you up for adoption!

Let's cut to the Chase; oh wait, he died.

I guess you couldn't tap that X in time.

From the Bandicoot to your family's plane in ashes,

Kid, you've got a tragic history with crashes.

The puzzle I'm trying to beat

Is figuring out why you're dressed for the beach.

I've seen more class from the kids I teach!

You can rise all you want; I'm still out of reach!

So go grab your relics and run!

You verse me is sword verse gun!

Honey, just the first four notes of my theme exceed everything you've done.

Verse 2:

Dinosaurs belong in a museum!

I've been served a full course meal of chilled Indian voodoo,

And they don't even kill as many animals as you do.

You're corrupting the youth! They should be outside,

Not trying to unload the barrels on your thighs!

You might have ditched those pistols, akimbo,

But you're still the same rich back-flipping bimbo!

A brat with a treasure map to catastrophe,

Stuffing your knapsack with innocent casualties!

Square Enix didn't want you anymore!

That's why they dropped you like a J in the floor!

When they designed your Core, they ripped my style,

And jiggled in a bit of Girls Polygone Wild!

You took 3D to uncharted territory!

Now you're just in Uncharted's territory!

Overshadowed by Drake like Lil Wayne.

Somebody needs to make a tomb for your whole game.

Scrapped lyrics

There's one thing in your series I could never understand.

Why do you use dual pistols, when your fans only play with one hand?
