Information on the rapper
Vlad III, better known as Vlad the Impaler (Romanian: Vlad Țepeș) or Dracula, was born in 1431 in Sighișoara, Romania. He was voivode, or prince, of Wallachia three times between 1448 and his death. Vlad is known for the exceedingly cruel punishments he imposed during his reign as recorded in later chronicles. His reputation for brutality, as well as his patronymic, also inspired the name of the vampire Count Dracula in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. Much of his brutality was directed at Wallachia's enemies at the time not only the Ottoman Turks but also criminals, disloyal nobles, and Transylvanian Saxons (it is likely that many of the account of Vlad's brutality that eventually made their way to Western Europe were inspired by accounts of Transylvanian Saxon merchants fleeing persecution under Vlad). He was presumably killed in battle against a large Turkish army in December 1476 in Bucharest, Romania. His decapitated head was then sent to Constantinople in January 1477, where the sultan had it displayed on a stake as proof of Vlad's death. Despite his fearsome reputation in the West, Vlad is honored as a national hero in Romania due to role in fighting the Ottomans and preventing their advance into Eastern and Central Europe. Many in Romania, thus, often feel disgusted when they see a vampire being named after one of their national heroes.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Imagine forests of corpses, dripping on a buffet,
You call that a nightmare? I call that a Tuesday.
Vlad Dracula, spawn of the devil!
Dipping my bread in your weeping blood vessels!
Scorched the Earth from Hungary to Wallachia!
I inspire fear, you inspire Count Chocula!
Stepped to the Turks and the bodies started dropping!
Put my foot on Ottomans like I was furniture shopping!
I save my stakes, no need crucifix:
I kill you with Olive Garden garlic breadsticks!
I butcher men, women, and children like cows!
Put more meat on swords than Fogo de Chão!
Verse 2:
Did you shapeshift those punchlines? 'Cause they mist!
Your skill's like your reflection: it doesn't exist!
I'll turn your taint to a 'tis, when I put a stick through ya!
Haven't seen a sucker this soft, since Bunnicula!
Get beat by Count Dracula? You're smoking crack-ula!
I dunk on your whack-ula raps like I'm Shaq-ula! (Ohhhhh!)
I'm Vlad to the bone, Vlad the hat-nailer,
Vlad the commits heinous acts on rats, ask the jailer!
You leeched my name, you pale son of a bitch!
And your weak ass gets beat by the sun at the beach!
Your slick hair and cape are all flappy razzle-dazzle,
But at end of day, you're a bat and that's only half a battle!
Scrapped lyrics
Transylvania maniac win belts like Wrestlemania.
You 8-bit my whole style and get whipped like Castlevania.
Everybody plays you, even cuckoo Sandler do you.
Tell old man Christopher Lee he count better when he's Dooku.
Speaking of bite, your rhymes are bloody awful.
I've seen better writing in a Twilight novel.
