We’re sorry to inform you that Elon Musk has dropped his first hip hop track.
The Tesla CEO, who has no time to do anything, found the time to combine a meme, a Twitter joke and Auto-Tune this weekend to bring you ‘RIP Harambe’, which he uploaded to Soundcloud.
In case you missed the drama a few years back, Harambe is the gorilla who was killed in the Cincinnati Zoo after dragging a three-year-old boy who climbed into his enclosure.
The zoo was then relentlessly trolled for months afterwards.
Now Elon is bringing Harambe back, reports Rolling Stone.
Listen and weep:
The two-minute mumble-rap track guaranteed to make your ears bleed has been streamed a cool 750 000 times, and will soon top a million at the current rate:
“This might be my finest work,” the SpaceX boss said of the track, which he posted on his fictitious Emo G Records’ SoundCloud page between tweets about the Tesla Semi; Emo G is a play on emoji, a callback to a Musk joke from earlier in the weekend. “I’m disappointed that my record label failed,” he added.
If you missed the lyrics, here they are:
“RIP Harambe/Sipping on some Bombay/We on our way to heaven/Amen, Amen,” an autotuned voice sings. “RIP Harambe/Smoking on some strong/In the gorilla zoo/And we thinking about you.”
Yeah, he was definitely smoking something.
It wouldn’t be the first time.
