skull902 - Sample Platter (Full EP, Explicit)
8As a reward for hitting the donation tier at Extra Life Game Day last year, we have the extended play Sample Platter, my next musical project. It was a lot of fun making this one, and I thank you so much for donating toward Beaumont Children's Hospital to make it happen!
This is the explicit version of the album. To hear the clean version, go here:
• skull902 - Sample Platter (Full EP, C...
The track list is as follows:
(0:00) 1. 30/90 Monologue
Based on Tick, Tick... Boom! by Jonathan Larson and David Auburn
Originally meant to be a full cover of 30/90, the person I had recording the other parts had to unfortunately drop out. I tried doing a cover of the first verse but my vocal chords weren't having it. This song resonates with me a lot and I felt I had to keep it in some form, so I did my own version of Jon's opening monologue to set up this EP being a little more melancholic than Idiot With A Mic was. But, there's still hope written in there too.
(1:18) 2. Princess Skull (feat. Shadoukun and PantherCasey)
Music composed by John Spiker, instrumental cover by Sing King (source: • Jack Black - Peaches (Karaoke Version) )
Last year, Shadoukun and I sang Peaches to each other over VC. After that, whenever Shad sang the song to herself, she wound up replacing "Peaches" with "Skully", and thus the Princess Skull meme was born. After you guys donated to make the song possible, we sat down, wrote the lyrics, and recorded it. Our friend PantherCasey also makes a spoken-word appearance as one of my royal guards.
(2:57) 3. Vandalize (Better Cover)
Music by One OK Rock
Lyrics by Taka, Rob Cavallo, Derek Tyler Carter, Andrew Decaro, and Sasha Sirota
My original cover from Idiot With A Mic wasn't so hot; it was the first song I recorded for the album and you can just tell I was nervous. Now that I had the experience, I had a better mindset going into this one and I think the results are improved. I had a better version of the instrumental, I recorded some background vocals, I can at the very least say it's better than the first attempt.
(6:13) 4. Thlammed
Music composed by Anabolic Beatz (source: • Freestyle Rap Beat | Hard Boom Bap Ty... )
Based on i thlammed my penith in the car door by SolScribbles and EllisBros (source: • i thlammed my penith in the car door )
Okay so this is an old meme by now but one that I enjoy and thought would be a fun challenge to expand it (lol) into a full song. As I was doing this, I discovered that Bulley Bottomtext had beaten me to the punch (which you can see here: • i thlammed my penith in the car door ... ), but I thought that the verse from PaRappa's perspective would make it unique enough not to scrap. An exclusive to the explicit version for very obvious reasons.
(8:09) 5. The Spooky Mansion
Music composed by Jack Lenz
I've wanted to do a rap song set to the old Goosebumps theme for some time, and thought that a sequel to An Extremely Stupid Ninja Rap would make sense for that. Probably the fastest song I've done, which was a bit of a challenge when writing the lyrics and performing. Came out sounding fun, though.
(10:20) 6. Outro
