“This a Debacle”: Michael Christmas Decodes His “Is This Art?” Rap Lyrics Posted by Nathan S. on 02/27/14 | Filed under Humor, Rap Lines, Michael Christmas

We spend a lot of time talking about what makes one rapper better than another around these parts. A lot of time. And while I can clearly spend hours inventing criteria, personally it usually just comes down to "Do they say interesting shit?" Michael Christmas says interesting shit. It's why I had him on the podcast, and it's why I've been listening to his "Is This Art?" album on repeat.

So following my invite to the Doppelgangaz to break down some of their more bonkers lines, I thought it was only right that I brought on Bob Hannukah to dig deep into some of his lyrical explloits. If you enjoy pornstars, Armenian bakeries, trashed rental cars and vaginas that resemble U.S. states, you're going to enjoy this.

From the man himself...

"Use the Gary Payton fore you get the Magic on your shit" - Y'all Trippin
The meaning of the bar is use the "Glove" which was Gary Payton's nickname before you catch an STD like the one Magic had. Essentially Glove is a condom and Magic is like HIV AIDS etc. I wrote that shit so fast it blew me away when I stopped and realized haha. 

"Told me he had cancer, I had to pass the dope..." - Dr. Christmas, M.D.
This bar was ill because it was literally like a movie in my head. What's happening is I'm an irresponsible surgeon about to operate on this patient while smoking, and he looks up and tells me he has cancer, so in a moment of feeling bad, I pass him the "dope" before we go into surgery. 

"Spraying the rental car with something to wipe the smog. Offensive odor and spillage of soda this a debacle." - Broke & Young
This bar derives from a road trip I took with my boys last year to Long Island. We got a rental car from my boy's homie and the whole ride up niggas smoked in the car. And on the way back I spilled mad shit in the back haha. So when we eventually got back to Boston, we had to figure out what we were gonna do about it. So we hit a carwash/gas station and cleaned the car for like an hour and a half haha. Shit was crazy I didn't think we could do it. 

"The labia majora look like a floral arrangement from Florida." - The World
This bar is pretty simply me describing the vagina of an easy hoe haha. It's not that complex but it just really sounded crazy, and it came to me when I was standing in front of the Armenian bakery debating buying some Armenian baked goods. That shit was so ill to me.
 

Video break....

"Cinnamon Dolce, Dirty Diana's, I do a show and hit Xvideos for Havana." - Broke & Young
The first part, cinnamon dolce, is my favorite thing to buy at Starbucks haha. I get cinnamon dolce's with 2 pumps of white mocha, I urge you to try it!!! Last part, xvideos for Havana, is about me hitting my favorite porn website xvideos.com, after doing shows and going home. Cc: Havana Ginger.

"Buy a chicken restaurant and call it 'Get The Honkies' or pizza place where all my niggas sitting in the front." - Duck Duck Goose
I love this bar because its such a silly fantasy. Having a chicken restaurant that makes guilty white people feel uncomfortable, but cool white people would be down to come in and hang haha. Also, it's my dream to own a pizza place, ever since the Cool Kids "Delivery Man" video. 

Anyway, those are some of my favorite bars off "Is This Art?" Make sure you grab that at rapthingy.com or below and hit me @mickeychristmas on Twitter if you have more questions about me or the tape.
