Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire
Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire (yes, the "Muthafuckin" is part of his name, and "eXquire" is capitalized that way) is a rapper from New York whose style can best be categorized as a combination of hardcore rap and pop culture references. His album Lost in Translation is available for free on Bandcamp (note that the cover is somewhat NSFW).
Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire provides examples of the following tropes:
- Affectionate Parody - "The Last Huzzah"'s music video is an homage to the video of "Flava In Ya Ear (Remix)" by Craig Mack. Notable for being early appearances of both The Notorious B.I.G. and Busta Rhymes.
- All-Star Cast - "Huzzah"'s remix, "The Last Huzzah" features underground legends El-P and Despot, as well as fellow up-and-comers Das Racist and Danny Brown.
- Lost In Translation on the whole counts as far as production goes. Featuring repurposed beats by El-P, Esoteric, and Necro.
- Boastful Rap - Lots of 'em.
- Cluster F-Bomb - He says "fuck" a lot.
- Deliberately Monochrome - The video for "The Last Huzzah", see Affectionate Parody above as for why.
- Drunken Master - In the vein of Ol' Dirty Bastard and MF DOOM, he likes to rap about booze. This very phrase has in fact been used to describe him.
- Insistent Terminology - In his own words; "Don't forget the 'Muthafuckin' ', without that, it's nuthin'"
- Shout-Out - Usually to other rappers and Marvel comics.
- On his verse of "The Last Huzzah" he references The Catcher in The Rye.
- Take That - To his ex girlfriend, fairly often.
- The "YeahRight!.com" skit is one to the website of the same name.
- Used humorously in "Chicken Spot Rock", where he takes shots at other chicken joints.
- Trademark Favorite Food - If "Chicken Spot Rock" is to be believed, it's Kennedy Fried Chicken[1].
- ↑ no that's not a mistake. Kennedy Fried is a distinct chain from Kentucky Fried Chicken.
