More Clipse Globalization
Maybe less about the general depth of globalization in our society exampled through rap lyrics, and maybe more about just how complex Clipse’s lyrics are, here’s a bit from Malice in “Wamp Wamp (What it Do),” off of Hell Hath No Fury (2006):
…The Family’s close-knit
And deep like the Hutu—you cockroaches!
Just like the flow, the foe’s ferocious
I’ll tuck you in, homey, buenos noches.
So here, a reference to the Mafia (”the Family,” a common hip-hop reference to gang life), the Rwandan genocide (the Hutu referred to the Tutsi as cockroaches), and a little bit of Spanish at the end.
