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”

Es wär nicht so wie es ist… [version 1]

Es wär nicht so wie es ist war es damals nie gewesen wie es wahr

I was reading Juice Magazine while in Germany. In it a rapper called Bass Sultan Hengzt [really] quoted a song by a femcee called Cora E which went Es wär nicht so wie es ist wär es damals nie gewesen wie es war which translates as ”Things wouldn’t have been what they are now if they wouldn’t have been like they were then”.
I did three versions of it, this is the first one.
