Information on the rapper
King Kong is a fictional giant monster resembling a gorilla, who has appeared in various media since 1933. His first appearance was in the novelization of the 1933 film King Kong from RKO Pictures, which released approximately two months before the premiere of the film itself. In the years following, the character has become one of the world's most famous movie icons, having inspired a number of sequels, remakes, spin-offs, imitators, parodies, cartoons, books, comics, video games, theme park rides, and even a Broadway musical. Beyond his own franchise, King Kong has also crossed over into others such as Planet of the Apes, the DC Comics universe, pulp characters such as Tarzan, and most famously the Toho movie monster Godzilla. His role in the different narratives varies, ranging from an egregious monster to a tragic antihero.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
(Oh!) The only game I play is Rampage, Lizzie (Oh!)
It's beauty kills this beast and you just ain't pretty! (Oh!)
No way your ass-brain is hanging with these monkey bars!
You ain't got punchlines, you barely even got arms!
You came off the bench for Frankenstein first time we made a movie,
And I dunked on you like Barkley at the base of Mount Fuji!
Face facts, Cankles, you can't fill seats yourself!
So they bring the mammal in to nurse your films back to health!
Don't you quote Snoop to me, I'm as old as Death Row!
Repping RKO, and we don't love them ToHo's!
The Eighth Wonder of the World, and the word when I rhyme!
If you think your mind can compete with mine, here's your sign!
Just like your bad English captions, your words don't match your actions (Oh oh!)
You aren't even the bombest monster from the Sea, G, what's Kraken! (Uh!)
So stay in your land of the rising cold fish and rice!
Come to New York and King Kong will Bing Bong fuck your life!
Verse 2:
Titan your fish lips around Tenacious Deez!
You ain't a Rap God-zilla. More like prey to me!
In Japan, you were a metaphor for nuclear war
But in Hollywood they left your balls on the cutting room floor!
And then the '90s didn't make you any cooler
What kind of bumpy chump gets punked by Ferris Bueller?
So go ahead and glow blue, I'mma make you code blue!
I'm an Oxygen Destroyer, and now you're 0-2!
Verse 3:
Anyways, that was more disappointing than your anime!
Like '98, it's just another egg you laid
You ugly Mothra-fucker!
Still don't know how you got pregnant, your whole suit's a big rubber!
Got no fear of Gojira, I ain't hearing no Monster-verse!
You're the only Honda vehicle that don't retain no worth!
There'll be no victory dance, your G-Fans will leave upset
'Cause if you dropkick at me, I'll shove a tree down your neck!
I'm the apex great ape, great with the ape ax
Like All Monsters Attack, your raps are recycled crap!
This alpha gorilla won't be bringing no silverback!
'Cause just like Bryan Cranston, you been dead since the first act!
Trivia
