Haste Makes Waste

Best wishes from Enkeling

Based on a lyric by the Jungle Brothers from their still extra fresh Done By the Forces of Nature.

“treble, bass, haste makes waste
nature puts things in the right place
hot baked carrot cake
in life there’s many things at stake”

I can’t really explain why but I just love these lyrics. Maybe because they’re from a time when hip hop was a bit more playful and I don’t know, goofy.

Artificials, Manmades

Best wishes from Enkeling

Based on a lyric by the Jungle Brothers from their still extra fresh Done By the Forces of Nature.

“artificials, manmades / they don’t use lemons to make lemonades
everything i see is half real / zipped-locked, rapped up signed and sealed”

Libération toujours

French newspaper Libération mentioned me amongst other artists in this interesting article about spam as inspiration for the arts.
Written by Astrid Girardeau.
If your french is as good as mine you might want to feed the text into Babelfish or a similar translator.
