about
Mode 7 returns with his Imposter Professor Oak persona, dropping another villainous rap to celebrate the release of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Can you catch all the Pokémon references in this hip hop remix?
About Mode 7:
Mode 7 is a rapper and writer from Los Angeles, California, taking hip hop to another level with his original style of clever but conscious game music inspired hip hop. Raised on a heavy diet of video games and west coast rap while growing up, Mode 7 now combines and reimagines his love of Super Metroid and Tupac into a unique sound all his own.
Mode 7's style covers a range of hip hop and subject matter. Emotion comes through strong in many ways on Mode 7's music, tackling subjects like love and heartbreak, mental health, inequality, and loss with his own irreverent, often comedic bars. Combined with Mode 7's extensive knowledge of video game history creates fun, fluid, and informative lyrics with a surprising amount of real world depth.
You can find Mode 7 rocking the stage at various conventions and events. Be sure to check out bio.site/mode7 for booking and event info, as well as the latest music!
lyrics
I'm a villain, what you think I'm gonna say
Heroes turn to dust, ash Wednesday
I'm a villain, what you think I'm gonna say
Make weight, make way,
Light em up like a luxray
I can do this all day
Then it's lights out
Like a darkrai
I'm an impostor but still I'm the real thing
Bring out your whole roster, and I toss em out the ring
Make these bitches sing, like canaries, gettin scary
Very Glengary, get crossed off, ABC
Your levels low, I'm legendary
Every girl a hoe, if you let her near me
Thick like oak, but you knew that already
Toke weed smoke, on the moon like clefairy
So much disorder, no borders, crossing territory
Stepping over lines with these rhymes, high scoring
Always soaring, aerodactyl, tactile feedback
Where the weed at, special pocket in my backpack
Always on me like a hat, tall grass is where i'm at
Buggin like a venonat, mouth runnin, rattata
I'm a villain, what you think I'm gonna say
Heroes turn to dust, ash Wednesday
I'm a villain, what you think I'm gonna say
Make weight, make way,
Light em up like a luxray
I can do this all day
Then it's lights out
Like a darkrai
Scraggy pants saggin, hit hard when I'm not slakin'
Like your mom, i'm 'bout to send you packin'
No adventure tho, send you straight to the grave
Bump this beat, boomburst, bars drop shock waves
No duel, type tight joints, my tracks full poison
Budew, poison point, Anthrax, bring the noise in
Walls closin' in, but never been claustrophic
Got that inner focus, lucario lucid ludic
Cholo, going solo, nuzlocke, can't go down until I win it
Cute girls, like Lee or Chan, man, you know I hit it
Then I quit it, RNG, run the game, and reset it
Independent, but i'll admit it man, you've got some spirit
To whom it concerns, better treat them burns
Noisy infiltrator, Noivern, only way they learn
I'm a villain, what you think I'm gonna say
Heros turn to dust, ash Wednesday
I'm a villain, what you think I'm gonna say
Make weight, make way,
Light em up like a luxray
I can do this all day
Then it's lights out
Like a darkrai
