Merry Xmas / Discord Chat / Henry Ford Demo (Patreon)

We just wanted to to take a moment to wish a Merry Xmas to all our wonderful patrons out there. We hope the whole festive period is a happy one for you. Thank you for your continued support here on Patreon. 

We have spent the last few weeks working on the "Godzilla vs King Kong" battle. We had hoped to get it finished before the end of the year but it still needs more work. So, after taking some time out for Xmas we will get back to work on that in January.  

This week we are gonna hold a Discord Chat session on the ERB Discord server on Thursday 28th December at 11am PT [Los Angeles]. It will last about an hour. If you can't join us live we will be posting a recap of what is discussed by the following day. 

We also want to share a demo with you from the Ford vs Marx writing sessions. It's an early Henry Ford demo put together by Peter (check out the audio above). At this stage we were using a different beat to the ones that was used in the final version of the battle. You'll see quite a few of these lyrics were retained, whilst other ideas were discarded or tweaked. 

Here are the lyrics so you can read along as you listen...

Mister motor city and the menace in red,

My lines are a production, your lines are bread.

Disassembling time pieces is how I got my start,

So watch me tear your ideology apart. 

You scream "unite the workers" and "free the class slaves",

In real life you bring starvation and mass graves.

Stalin and Mao prove your theories are bad,

There’s a reason all your homeboys fly a red flag.

Looking at the Communist countries’ destructions,

It’s safe to say your manifesto needs better instructions. 

Your little pamphlets and essays are laughable,

I shit on your work, call it Das Krapital.

I built an American dream with my two hands,

You dreamed up a whole world on some food stamps.

Your utopian fantasy sounds very noble,

Until it blows up in your big fuzzy face like Chernobyl.

You’re a bum, here’s a pun, you can’t afford this,

I’m on an Expedition, I got that Focus.

My rhymes like my trucks, built tough and specific,

I’m an F-150, you’re a hand me down Civic.

I’m the Captain of Capitalism, 

Popping caps in this fat Prussian sack of economic cataclysm.

You don't wanna mess with the Mr. T of Model T's,

I got the horsepower to combust you internally.

We'll post up a Karl Marx demo in the next few days. 

Stay safe, warm and happy. Talk soon folks.
