cyko9 I could listen to "Narc Hi Score" anytime, but "Warp Formula" is pure POWAH! You cannot stand still. Buy this album. It's a great variety of WB styles and themes; there's something here for everybody. Favorite track: Narc Hi-Score [In Nintendo Power] (prod. & cuts by Peter Project).

mvgiordano Burg's dope. Original and inventive. NARC taught me gunning down hundreds of drug users is OK, just don't hurt the dogs. Favorite track: Narc Hi-Score [In Nintendo Power] (prod. & cuts by Peter Project).

    WORDBURGLAR: RAPPLICABLE SKILLS.

    Your friend's brother's favourite Canadian underground nerdy rap luminary returns with a non-stop, lyrical boom-bap masterpiece. Applying his unique blend of humour-infused wordplay, intricate storytelling and classic hip-hop mentality over a canvas of crushing bangers, hypnotic head-nodders and razor-sharp turntablism, his nerdy honesty, cutting puns and “what did he just say?” rhyme style are fully on point and ready to get injected into your ear-brains. From party tracks and hilarious punchline putdowns to video game conquests, ghost stories, comic shops, NHL Hall of Famers and hometown pride, Wordburglar has covered it all in extensively entertaining, rhyme-packed detail.

    An instant rap party, RAPPLICABLE SKILLS contains 15 slammin’ tracks of ‘Burg’s patented lyricism over bumpin’ production from Beatmason, Fresh Kils, Milk Plus, Peter Project, Savilion and Timbuktu. Featuring the turntablism of DJ Irate, More Or Les & Uncle Fes and guest appearances from Chokeules, Ghettosocks, MC Frontalot, Mega Ran, Savilion, Sy-Fi, Timbuktu and Ultra Magnus.

    Rapplicable Skills drops August 28th.

VERSE 1 Word the frig up! Can I kick a new verse to make you jump around like House of Pain playing Q-Bert? I do work, no suit or tie – you're not from New York, you work a New York Fries. Shoo horseflies, I couldn't give two sharts like a food cart in a nude bar boudoir or divorcing Sue Storm cause you're nothin' to me, I'm putting balls in your stomach like some bubbly tea. WB with the heat, stay in short sleeves, bring a lot to the plate like I'm David Ortiz taking morphine since the age of fourteen been saying raps that make you say "keep saying more please!". Sure thing! Just stick this in your boombox and get what you want, let grandma buy the tube socks. "You dudes rock!" Yeah cause me and the beatmason be the ******************** like ************ bleeped sayings. CHORUS VERSE 2 Yeah we're having fun and if you're not then I'm sad to say - make like a leaf and leave like Kaberla. Or pass the cabernet, and you'll be glad to stay - opposite of working retail on a Saturday. Something I've done but don't care to do, like sleeping in a bus stop in Riviere Du Loup, but once you choose this as your stereo's selection it's a win (wynne) win like the Ontario election. Yes my friend he's a special specimen, separate from the sediment reppin' a fresh regimen, lyrical dope yo - the best medicine - making heads spin more than breakers on ephederine "where the heck ya been?" from the dot to Purcell's Cove let 'em know who makes it hotter than a burgled stove, flipping bars like the Hulk on a pub crawl "It's Wordburglar!" that's what the Frig's up y'all! CHORUS

You can't ignore the facts like Rob Ford on crack – I get you high for less, Nordstrom Rack. The abnormal Transformer Mighty Morphin back with more styles than the girl who acts on Orphan Black. Rap from freestyles how I carve my writtens. Coast to coast play in bars to kitchens – but lose the cigarettes no carcinogens, I don't need the feedback like carsick chickens. Spittin' raw I never stop how I drop words and you can't hide like hard nipples in soft shirts. Awkward! Yeah that's what I thought nerd, got a lot of patience – shoulda been a doctor. But I'm more like the best hospital ever: full of sickness and I keep getting better. Yessir! Every rapper thinks they're the best, I just think I'm Wordburg and I think that's a good guess! CHORUS
4.
It feels good, like a masseuse soothing the bruised spots, to rock like you saw Medusa in a loose bra.... If you can't figure the rest out just msg me and I'll send it to you. But I know you'd rather figure out the lyrics on your own right? Yeah, it's more fun that way. Thanks again for buying this album. Word!

Need the lyrics? If you ask nicely I'll post it on my FB page or on my website – but you'll need to answer a rapplicable skill-testing question.

Someone told me there'd be a bunch of easter eggs in these secret liner notes, but all I can say is check out Episode 16 of the podcast for a fun story about this track.

This is 100% true. First one to find the issue of Nintendo Power and tag this song wins.

That guy's outfit is not a costume.

There's a farm somewhere in Nova Scotia where some of this stuff actually happened. Supposedly. If you believe in that type of thing.
