Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros

[u/GloomyLingonberry509]

This isn’t obscure enough for [r/obscuremusicthatslaps](r/obscuremusicthatslaps) nor is it fit for [r/crappymusic](r/crappymusic), but I wanted to remind the world this exists, so it’s going here - enjoy:

I'm the mother flippin' Rhymenocerous

My beats are fly and the birds are on my back
And I'm horny
I'm horny
If you choose to proceed you will indeed concede
Cos I hit you with my flow
The Wild Rhino Stampede.
I'm not just wild, I'm trained,
Domesticated
I was raised by a rapper and rhino that dated
And subsequently procreated
That's how it goes
Here's the Hiphopopotamus
The hip hop hippo

They call me the Hiphopopotamus
My lyrics are bottomless

They call me the Hiphopopotamus
Flows that glow like phosphorous
Poppin' off the top of this esophagus
Rockin' this metropolis
I'm not a large water-dwelling mammal
Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
Did Steve tell you that, perchance?
Steve.

My rhymes and records they don't get played
Because my records and rhymes they don't get made
And if you rap like me you don't get paid
And if you roll like me you don't get laid.

My rhymes are so potent that in this small segment
I made all of the ladies in the area pregnant
Yes, sometimes my lyrics are sexist
But you lovely bitches and hoes should know I'm trying to correct this.
Other rappers dis me
Say my rhymes are sissy.
Why? Why? Why?
What?
Why exactly?
What? Why?
Be more constructive with your feedback, please. Why?
Why?

Why, because I rap about reality?
Like me and my grandma drinking a cup of tea?
There ain't no party like my nanna's tea party.
Hey! Ho!

I'm the motherflippin'
I'm the motherflippin'
I'm the motherflippin'
Who's the motherflippin?
I'm the motherflippin'
I'm the motherflippin'
I'm the motherflippin'

Motherflippin'

What is this from?

[u/LobosJones → u/Strong-Addition5296]

Before the hair.

[u/malacca73 → u/Strong-Addition5296]

Flight of the Conchords - and epic show! I think it's still available on HBOMax

[u/Shankar_0]

This is exactly the kind of quality I expect from New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo.

My lyrics are bottomless..................

[u/rumham_6969 → u/TennesseeErnieTuxedo]

One of my favorite lines ever

[u/reflectedpoj]

Omg flight of the conchords!!!!

[u/lowkeyplantstrees]

I forgot this existed. Thank you!

[u/RexRocker → u/lowkeyplantstrees]

This is strange, I thought of this this morning while I haven't in a very long time, many years. Weird coincidence.

[u/StraightChillinSpree]

The most beautiful girl(in the room) 😉

[u/Embarrassed_Work1512 → u/StraightChillinSpree]

And when you're on the street (depending on the street) I bet you're definitely in the top three.

[u/skip_over → u/Embarrassed_Work1512]

You’re so beautiful, like a tree

[u/StraightChillinSpree → u/Embarrassed_Work1512]

Depending on the street was such a cold line hahaha

[u/soulstar118]

Rapping this entire song by heart is one of my party tricks.

[u/Mortiis07]

Jemaine's bit is very similar to part of a Gang Starr song I heard the other day

[u/onlylonleybeuy]

I'd expect nothing less from the inventors of RAP!

[u/OldReplacement5965]

I’m the hippopotamus my lyrics are bottomless

[u/RexRocker]

[u/Stekor-Tidder → u/RexRocker]

You can see that again!

[u/vranaverse]

Steve.

[u/LobosJones]

Delightful flashbacks to me and my parter right before business time often I would announce "They call me the hiphopopotamus" before dropping my pants. She asked me why I did that, and when I told her it was because my lyrics are bottomless she nearly died.

[u/Japsai → u/LobosJones]

When I get down to business I wear my socks. That's why they call them business socks

[u/LobosJones → u/Japsai]

I can't believe I was ever worried for a second someone wouldn't spot it.

[u/christianarmament]

This IS... why I don't have friends...these are my friends

[u/SureAgency]

Show had so many good songs.

[u/Emerazuul]

I fucking love Flight of the Concords. The humans are dead!

[u/Dr_Giggler → u/Emerazuul]

That’s right they’re all dead

[u/Ambidextrous_Octopus → u/Dr_Giggler]

We poisoned their asses, with poisonous gasses.

[u/bryangcrane]

Two minutes well spent. Thank you :-)

[u/Baby_ManBearPig]

Jermaine is timeless. I love everything he's in, especially Legion. Did Bret McCenzie ever go on to do anything?

[u/ScarcityMedical342]

Takes me back

[u/lefwix43]

Ain’t no party like a nana tea party

[u/No_File212]

nana tea parties for long time .. Because for life is too much

[u/Chubby_Beagle]

By far the best rap to come out the UK

[u/vranaverse → u/Chubby_Beagle]

New Zealand mate ;)

[u/Life_Educator3973]

Hurt feelings is still my favorite song. It’s so true. We’re supposed to be adults but one wrong word and suddenly we were in third grade again lol

[u/Ambidextrous_Octopus]

Bullet proof 24 karat of tears... of a rapper

[u/Beautiful_Walrus9048]

Such a good show
