ADEQUATE WORDSMITH | Adequate Rapper Raps Adequately | 1,000,000 SUBS SPECIAL!

Музыка

OK, I promise this is the last of my self-indulgent 1,000,000 subscriber content now!
As we began creeping towards the million milestone last year, I knew I wanted to make a sequel to Amateur Wordsmith that was much more extravagant, and showed the leaps in music and video production quality we’ve made over the past 8 years. I hope you can see the improvement!
And what better place to shoot a gaudy hip-hop music video than Las Vegas itself?! A place I’ve always wanted to visit and film in! Honestly, I’ve been looking to find an excuse to film at the Neon Museum since I found out it existed. What better time than now, at the big ol' milly mark!
This is by far the most expensive video I’ve ever made on this channel, so uh… pray that the algorithm overlords smile kindly upon me and grant me good ad revenue. In any case, this wouldn’t have been even remotely possible without the support of my Patrons, so special shoutout to all of you!
Make sure to check out the credits below and check out all of the brilliant vendors we worked with in Vegas for this music video. Everyone was really welcoming and accommodating!
Thanks again to everyone who has subscribed to and supported this channel over the years, it really means the world to me that I get to do what I do for a living.
How do we top a video like this? Subscribe and find out! I have ideas for a potentially even MORE silly and extravagant video if we ever reach 2 million…

    THE STUPENDIUM 1,000,000 SUBSCRIBER STUPENDI-COIN IS NOW AVAILABLE… AGAIN! bit.ly/StupendiCoin Pre-orders are open for the next two weeks only! They close March 9th! Which is a Saturday. Not a Friday like the video says. Because I am stupid. LYRICS: VERSE 1: Way back in twenty-sixteen I went and penned a ditty About the rapper I was clearly just pretending to be But I think I’ve been improving pretty evidently And there’s a million people out there who would tend to agree Now who am I to attest that I am really clearly the best at rhymes? Will I be left behind or stand the test of time? Success predestined? We’ve yet to find Though far be it from me to come and claim superiority My vids that hit the milly are quite plainly a majority Oh honestly, did you not check my policy? I always rap in character and hardly ever drop as me Historically, you probably first heard memes on TikTok of me Extolling on the horrors of a corporate economy So, if you sit back and have a listen, let me have a moment I truly haven’t had a minute yet to have a go at Doing that cool rapper bit and penning bars and flows just Supercalifragilisticexpibraggadocious Negotious, verbosity velocious In quality? Ambrosious - thesaurus adiposis I may not be an A-lister but I’m still on a list of Rappers who get paid, so I must make pretty dope s**t Mitosis and Moses could never split opinions so well Like mitochondria, I’m the powerhouse of the sell Defined a genre decrying those with mountains of wealth And then made millions on the million of you sounding my bell CHORUS: You’re listening to the missive of an adequate wordsmith But because they’re insecure they felt they had to confirm it So, if you’re a bit indifferent you clicked the track Here’s a few more minutes you won’t get back VERSE 2: Am I a rap god? No! But I’m surely in the rap clergy Spitting like confession in the booth when I rap nerdy Father, forgive me I have syn-co-pa-ted Beat’s off but they’ll never make their tracks dirty Rocked up to the strip with my duds all glistening Got more drip than octuplet christenings Guttering ripped and it’s thundering, drizzling One gets dipped, every youngster’s dribbling Pack more paper than Dunder Mifflin Bars so hard that my puns need chiselling The ladies, the gays and theys wanna play But mum’s here visiting Spit so hot I gotta keep my verses in urns Other rappers green with envy - call it Verdigris burns Though, perhaps maybe I’m milking it where words are concerned My bars are buttery smooth because they’re perfectly churned My similes and metaphors are intricately clever - yours are lacking, rhymes are flagging like you’ve written them in semaphore I’m chilling on the beach, you’re adrift and yet to get to shore You never made the sales, so I think you’ll have to peddle more WHISTLE BREAK: Yeah, I’m doing a whistle break What are you gonna do about it? Just wanted something to space things out before the bridge starts Oh, here we go… BRIDGE: All these years chasing meaningless numbers Hoping to flee from this feeling of numbness Trying to drown all my doubts and my fears in the light of acclaim For eternity now my self-worth has been tied To the number of characters you have to type Into KZread before it can guess you are writing my name Was it worth all the work and the stress and the pain? All the worries that lurk and obsess in my brain? All the nights without sleep, all the fatigue and tired All the ungodly gallons of caffeine required (I could go find a nine to five Be bored but maybe I’d survive More than another year before I fall apart So hard to comprehend that I’ve Felt dead whilst feeling so alive I love my work but hate the fact it claimed my art In every video I strive To leave a piece of me inside How many pieces can I find?) My self-image anxieties I haven’t resolved And the endless offensive of admin involved The unwinnable game of just trying to keep To an algorithm changing its mind every week All the months spent in crunch penning verses and rhyme To complete dissolution of personal time I make songs about games but the irony’s clear That I’ve not actually played one for fun now in years All the torturous exhaustion contorted and mixed With the knowledge my job could be instantly nixed Google could, should they want, kill me off with a click Now I’m here at the top, was it worth all of this? Yeah Yeah, actually, it was I’m in a Lamborghini I can’t even drive! CHORUS: You’re listening to the missive of an adequate wordsmith Though their need to sound impressive is quite frankly absurdist So, if you’re a bit indifferent you clicked the track Here’s a few more minutes you won’t get back VERSE 3: You know I put the sauce in the cans like I’m Heinz beans New resolution to command your entire screen Won’t take a rest - improvising a line spree Drop off the cuff and escape from the crime scene Foes all flake when they’re faced with my rhyme schemes Ninety-nine problems, yeah, my van’s out of ice creams Flows got you froze as you stand in my high-beams Struggling to take it all in - size queen Linguistically I get them in hysterics The folks who write the dictionary are referencing my lyrics Pork-manteaus go ham, pen indelibly-soteric Yeah, I built my own brand, but I’ll never be generic I'm the godfather of verse I write lines that are quite hard to traverse I slay that They/Them mayhem every day And I’m just starting the hearse ‘Cause it’s your funeral, baby You can hate me, but I can’t be deterred Yours are marginally worse than the bars I’ve rehearsed Come and spar with a nerd, watch your ass get interred This vid has got you thinking I’ve a life of lavish luxury Assisted by the fact it’s done entirely tax deductibly That’s why I could quite comfortably still find the cash to budget these Impressive looking stacks of totally artificial currency I can’t believe I do this as a job And I’m so insanely grateful for the view here at the top Though I’m afraid that I forgot to pack a hat to doff So, after all these years I’ve still no way to cap it off CHORUS: You’re listening to the missive of an adequate wordsmith I got Wilde self-importance if I have to be Ernest So, if you’re a bit indifferent you clicked the track Here’s a few more minutes you won’t get back More imperviously wordy than a Catholic service I’m delivering prime rhymes like an Amazon purchase Spit squeaky clean like I snack on detergent Got the beets in the bag, you’re a satchel of turnips Lyrical flips? I pack a spatula permit And I’m wiping out foes like a laminate surface Endless bags to the Banks, yeah I’m practically perfect This Lambo was a rental and I have to return it… I’ve a bunch of fine rhymes that you haven’t all heard yet And I really didn’t want to end the track with a surplus Like mechanical Kermit with a hand up his circuits An incredible rhyme that really hasn’t a purpose I’m on so many levels need my landings refurbished Now I’m wondering if this ending bit was actually worth it ‘Cause should they develop extra ends to candles I’d burn it Do you think they’ll notice if I reuse adequate wordsmith? OUTRO: One million subscribers Wow! Thank you so much I’m gonna regret doing this here Because it means I’ll have to lip sync it in the video Which will be a nightmare But I’m doing it for you ‘Cause I love you I’ll see you at two million I guess? I mean, probably before then but you get what I mean (They won’t notice if I keep repeating adequate wordsmith ‘Cause I’m talking whilst I’m just repeating adequate wordsmith It’s impractical to write more rhymes for adequate wordsmith ‘Cause we’re fading out as I’m repeating adequate wordsmith Yeah, we’re fading out as I’m repeating adequate wordsmith We’re fading out as I’m repeating adequate wordsmith Still fading out as I’m repeating adequate wordsmith This in no way undermines my skills as ‘adequate wordsmith’) Oh, oh… We didn’t do a fade-out did we?

    3:30 - oh, this breaks my heart. Listen friendo, pick a game a lot of people like, take a few days off from your standard schedule, and play it. Announce beforehand that you're doing it, and aren't going to make any content out of it, so we can call you out for it if you do. This one's STRICTLY for you, you're not even allowed to stream it. You can TALK about it after you finish it (or decide you're done if you don't like it enough to finish or it isn't something with a firm end point), and if you get inspired and REALLY want to, you can START on a song about it, let's say... 6 months later. Paradoxical as it seems, of all the things you could do next this is what would make me, at least, the most happy, but I strongly suspect I speak for a lot of other people too. (The like count on this comment will tell the tale there, I suppose - if it does get a lot, that's your cue to do it for us, if not for yourself.)

    The effort put into Stupes’ lyrics never ceases to amaze me. “Syncopated” is syncopated. There are several well-woven references to previous tracks. There’s a metric ton of assonance, consonance, and alliteration. And to top it all off they somehow found 19 entire rhymes for “Wordsmith” when I legitimately can’t think of a single one. Yeah, that’s probably at least “adequate”.

    This is basically a culmination of everything everyone loves about Stupendium, the amount of effort and money he spends just for classy suits and costumes and editing, the exquisite choices of vocabulary and metaphors and especially the dramatic expressions and character. The fact that the entire song being an introspective self analysis of your entire career from the beginning in 2016 to TikTok fame is astonishing all on its own, and the fact you made it sound GOOD is even better. I swear you would have to make an hour long video just to break down all the references you threw in this. Truly a masterpiece of a celebration for such a nerdcore icon. 🎉🎉🎉 (You better keep the promise about that yacht for 2 mil, we’re already counting down!)

The subtle lyrics during the solemn part, so many little puns and twists spanning occasionally an entire verse, "hyperbole" appearing in a manner like the other definitions... I didn't even know ninety-nine was a type of ice cream, but when I saw the "99 problems, yeah my van's out of ice cream" I went to google it because I knew that it was probably something when with other artists I'd more likely have just brushed it off as a weird line.

    I am. So so delighted. It's been an incredible journey to watch and you deserve the recognition. You've clearly earned it! I cannot wait to continue watching and supporting you and your team. Also, Hello Stupendimum! But really, Stupes. Bravo!
