| Posted: 13 Apr 2020 09:17 AM PDT Intro- Science Fiction and Hip-Hop are two genres that on the surface should never meet. Hip-Hop was born out of the real world streets of cities like New York, based in racial tensions of the times, and Sci-Fi serves as an escape from the real world, being based in fictional universes, usually of the future. However, a testament to these two genres chemistry does exist, and it comes in the form of Deltron 3030. By the group of the same name, consisting of Del the Funkee Homosapien, Dan the Automator, and Kid Koala, Deltron 3030 takes place in the far future of 3030, where thoughtful rap has been all but outlawed. From this bleak future rises the hero Deltron Zero, and his partner Automator, who use their rhymes and beats to tear down the oppressive system they are trapped within. While Deltron 3030 may take place a full millenium in the future, the story it has to tell is one tied to the present. By telling the fictional story of a world trapped in oppression, Del hits close to home, and provides a record with pointed social commentary, and a future that may come sooner than expected. The State of the Nation- The album begins with a short introduction which establishes the themes and ideas to come, in addition to the album's main villain. Damon Albarn, from the British rock band Blur and the Gorillaz, gives a short speech that states the year, 3030, and paints himself as an employee at the corporate bank of time, which is coming back into power. This narration hints at two things, the first comes in Damon's inclusion of the word corporate, showing that corporate power is coming back in the year 3030, but the intro also hints at a wider theme of humanities' return. History is full of oppressive systems, and rebels who fight them, and the conflict that Deltron will present over the course of the record might be one of futuristic mechs and planet hopping, but it's not alien. In the current world, conflicts like the one Deltron fights occur everyday, so in telling the story of 3030, Deltron are actually telling the story of the present. 3030- On the album's intro, the listener was exposed to the record's conflict. In the oppressive future of 3030, the government has taken over, but as the intro also stated, humanity is built on balance, so with this unjust system in place, a rebel will rise up and take back control. The rebel of Deltron 3030's story is Deltron Zero, and "3030" serves as his introduction. The track begins with a small historical rewrite, showing how space travel advanced at a faster pace in the fictional world of 3030, where Apollo 9 landed on Mars. This helps to establish the world of the album, one with mech suits, magic, and space travel, all of which tie into Del's story. Del introduces himself in his first verse, saying he's the hero Deltron Zero, who's risen to fight the unjust system. Del gives more context to his situation with the remainder of his verse, showing how in the world of 3030, thoughtful rapping is a lost artform, hated because it's used to spread negative messages about the government. Del finds the system he lives under, one where warlords destroy nations with hatred, to be one of injustice, so he refuses to conform, quitting his job as a mech soldier and combining his talents with producer Dan the Automator. Together Del and Dan plan to tear down the system with their lyrics. In the world of 3030, music has been replaced by meaningless, inoffensive garbage, and Del plans to right this wrong, using Hip-Hop, an artform that's inherently black, to break through with a profound statement of individuality. Del's plan to tear down the established system is a noble one, but also one that's detrimental to those in power, so Del is arrested, and that's where he begins his second verse. Del frames himself as being trapped in a cell, and uses a clever lyric to sum up reason he's been locked away, saying, "For the pure verbal, they said my sentence was equivalent to muder". This line uses two meaning of sentence, one being a stretch of jail time to show that Del has been locked up for the same amount of time as a murderer, and the other being the use of sentence as a string of words, showing that Del speaking his mind is viewed in the same way as murder by the system. However, Del doesn't let this oppression hold him down, using his time in jail to listen to the injustices perpetrated by the system, until he breaks free with the help of a portal. From this point on, Del is an enemy of the government, and he shoots his way to a mech, using his rapping skills to power it, and warps to Dan the Automator's house to hide out. Del and Dan light the torch, spreading their message of Hip-Hop, thinking in free-form ways, and plotting their attack. While in hiding, Del spends his time reflecting on the unjust system and becoming one with music in his mind and heart, eventually recruiting others who strive for individuality to fight the system. Once established, Del and his rebels work to increase their power and expand their message across the world. Del is "confusing the kids", or encouraging self discovery and individuality in the new generation with the use of his rhymes. Del is beginning to make cracks in the system, comparing himself to the character Neo from the Matrix, who rejected, and eventually took down, an unjust system. Through repairing the world with his individuality, Del is freeing others from the system, and making a path of change. "3030" is the album's true introduction, setting the stage for not only the journey of Deltron, but the wider system as a whole. The Fantabulous Rap Extravaganza- Del decides to participate in a rap battle to inspire others with his rhymes and practice his skills. This skit shows an advertisement for the rap battle, where the advertiser tries to hype it up to an outlandish extent. Thing You Can Do- This track sees Del dropping clever and witty bars in the rap battle established on prior skit. The track takes its hook from the song "What Can the Matter Be?" by The Poppy Family. That track focused on the discrimination of black people, as they were told there were some things which they just couldn't do. Del ties this into the world of 3030 with the system telling him no to rap or speak his mind, much like the oppression of blacks during the civil rights movement. This also helps to tie the world of 3030 to that of the present, the system in 3030 is representative of the government and their attempts to silence minorities. Del's brags on his first verse touch on his experiences, such as how he was able to meld with the mech to escape capture or how he's gone into hiding to strengthen himself, but above all else the verse is about individuality. Del insults rival MCs and rejects conformity, showing the exciting nature of someone who's rejected the system. Del makes a interesting reference at the end of his first verse that carries into his second, saying he's like the fictional character Optimus Prime fighting against the Decepticons, however he phrases it where decepticons can also be heard as deception, and since Optimus in Latin means best, it can also be interpreted as Del fighting against the deception of the system for the best outcome. Del also explains his armor here, referencing an attack from his mechanical limbs, his micro-machines, the pistons of his mech and the molecular bonds that give his armor power. The track sees Del fighting against a rival MC, but also against the system, proving his individuality and sharing his militaristic mindset to the masses. Positive Contact- This track paints a picture of Deltron's initial attack on the system, essentially showing him making first contact with his enemy, one which is positive for him. Del opens the track with a short intro directed at the system, where he says his free thought will leave his enemies with their mouths hanging open, due to how unorthodox his free speech is. Del begins his first saying it's time to "start the adventure" essentially to start his battle against the system. Del has spent the time since his escape from jail recruiting other MCs and increasing his own skills, and now it's time to strike. Del speaks of his mission to find the location of the government and plan an attack, finally he was able to find the location of the base he wanted to take down and he quantum jumps there, ending his verse by arriving at his enemies' doorstep. Del wages his war against the system in his second verse, staying armed to the teeth with lyrical power, even saying he gets high off the destruction of the outpost he's annihilating. Del concludes the track with his third and final verse, saying he's on the rise while the system is falling. Del's quest against injustice has made him a loved legend, and after a positive contact with the enemy, Del set's up his base on Mercury. In the music video for "Positive Contact" Deltron wage war with their mech and take over mercury, so it can be assumed that the base Del spoke of capturing on this track was in fact on the planet. St. Catherine St.- This track serves as a small world building event, coming after Del's attack on Mercury in "Positive Contact", the story sees a salesman trying to sell a customer watches, telling them that they should purchase a watch because there will be an event in a few days that makes the telling of time difficult. The salesman, called Jeffery Hull, is alluding to the virus that Del will release on the government on the next track, that will render their electronics unfunctional. On a later track titled "Time Keeps on Slipping" this idea is directly called back to, with Del's war waging on and time becoming lost. Virus- The track begins with narration from an unknown government official, telling others that controls will have to be imposed in the face of Del's virus, that will trust the world into chaos. Del opens with a chorus, where he outlines his plan to create a virus that will throw the system into complete chaos through the shut down of their computers. Del explains that since the government refuses to help bring peace and freedom to the galaxy, he's going to thrust them into anarchy. Del's first verse tells the origin of the virus, as Del sat at his computer one night he decided to create something so destructive and detrimental to the government that not even their brightest minds could stop it. Through a short interlude, Del shows a plot by the government to stop his virus with robots, as he quickly tries to enact his plan. Del uses the second verse to describe the desired results of his virus, to stop the illegal practices of the government and make the people rise up against their leaders once the world is in chaos. With the use of his virus, Del is able to inspire others on earth to fight the system in a similar way, after they see the weakened state of the government. The government grows tired of Del's assaults here, resolving to fight Del with more power than ever before. Upgrade (A Baymar College Course)- This track comes in the direct aftermath of Del's virus and sees a university called Baymar College being hijacked by Del. The song opens with a lifeless advertisement for the college telling possible students that if they attend they will be able to advance in simple office jobs. The advertisement ends with the message of "Upgrade your grey matter, cause one day it may matter", referencing the college's desire for their students to become smart and work in a dead end job for the system. Del takes over this broadcast with the same message, but the intelligence Del is urging the students to gain is that of free through and individualism. Del opens his verse saying it's time for his listeners to upgrade, and load into their brains the messages he's teaching. Del encourages self-discovery, tells of the oppression going on in the world, and talks about how he refuses to conform to rules. Del is serving as a professor for the students who hear his message, teaching them of free will and completing the things they are missing. While the lessons of the government are robotic and forgettable, the lessons of Del are from the heart and can't be taken from those who hear them, since they become locked within their brains. Del reveals the dark truth behind the government and frees those listening to him from their mental prison. Del's words are coming at his listeners so fast he insists they increase their disk speed and lubricate their screen, since his energy and message are sending the computer into overdrive.In taking a break from fighting, and going to war with his ideology, spreading his message in a unique form of attack, Del is bypassing the government's expectations for him. He makes use of what he calls development kits to help his listeners understand his more complex concepts, and insults other MCs for not being able to inspire change in others like he can. This references the countless branch offs of rappers who came after Del, that only serve as a hollow imitation of himself. After spreading his message far and wide, Del plans for a reaction from the government, increasing his skills, strengthening his fighters, and preparing for the oncoming war. New Coke- This skit sees an unnamed narrator who's a pessimist and refuses to accept change. This person doesn't want change, but rather a simple escape from his issues. These types of people are those that Del dislikes, ones who won't accept change and support his radical ideas. Mastermind- Del dedicates a song to the "mastermind" of his operation, Dan the Automator. Del describes Dan as a nature defying, electronic monolith, who can fuse together an immaculate beat for Del to lay waste with his rhymes. Dan and Del are an unstoppable team, using their combined skills to spread their message into the minds of the new generation. In a short bridge, sampling the track "Loud, Loud, Loud" by Aphrodite's Child, a woman makes reference to a day when the oppressive walls and technology of the cities will fall down, revealing the naked souls of the citizens. This is what Del and Dan are fighting for, a future where people can disconnect from the monotony of the world and look at themselves and what they want. Del goes on to describe the beats of Dan as less of a beat and more of a symphony of sound. This symphony is one of freedom and individualism, and it's how Deltron plans to spread its message. Del and Dan arrive on earth at the end of the track to "stop the war of the worlds'', or bring peace to the planet. They will do this by bringing down the walls of the cities, as said on the tracks bridge, and freeing those who are oppressed in their contentment. The song ends with a short conversation between Del and one of his tranies, excited that they performed their rhymes well, showing that Del and Dan are using their mastermind status to increase their armies power. In fact, it's possible that "Mastermind" was merely Del giving praise to Dan to show his followers how to make focused rhymes. National Movie Review- Here the goverment interupts the lives of citezens to show them what they percieve to be high art, the joke here is that the movie they reference, the 1983 film Strange Brew, and the people they highlight as latter day renaissance men, Bob and Doug McKenzie, are idiotic. The government even believes that the word Hoser, an insult, is a word to describe an intelligent thinker. This skit shows how the government perceives foolish art to be the peak of expression, encouraging their citizens to act foolish like those in the film. Del is pursuing another form of ancient art, rap, and this art encourages enlightenment and questioning of the system, something the government is strongly against. Madness- "Madness" serves as the album's centerpiece, seeing Del having made progress in his goal of creating a group of rebel MCs to combat the system, but not yet having won his war. Del begins the track by outlining the progress he's made, saying that in the year 3030 everybody wants to be an MC. Del has inspired the masses with his teachings and now everyone wants to rebel against the system like him, he believes rap can be something truly transcendent and amazing, seeing himself as the leader of its movement. Del feels oppression from the system as they attempt to take his ideas and freedom, and like so many others he feels "caught in the grip of the city". Del's second verse ties into the album's narrative and his own personal life, saying as a black man he's always under extreme pressure, but also that as a rebel in the album's narrative he is under pressure. Del attempts to strike a chord with his followers, telling them that despite the moment's challenges, they should push forward for a brighter future, where classism, racism, and government control are abolished. While the government and those in power try to oppress and control, Del simply sits back and collects information, which he releases as thoughtful rhymes. Del says that while a lot of white people who don't understand the culture might fail at rapping, it's not because they're white, since Del is trying to open up the world and rap for all people, but rather because they have little concept of the issues that Hip-Hop was built to focus on, such as black oppression. Del's third verse begins with a reference to the skit "New Coke", where a man wanted to move in order to escape the problems of the world, Del says that it's these type of people, who refuse to help make change and resolve issues simply because they didn't create the problems, need to get with the program. Del is tired of this reaction and no longer relies on mere karma, forcing these people to wake up. Del would love to become more than just a rapper and make serious change, but due to lazy people who refuse change, Del's message will never be able to cause an impact, since all his words have been said before. Despite this sad reality, Del's love for music and life propels him to keep fighting and inspire hope that a brighter future might be possible. While the first two verses are directed at Del's followers, the final verse turns to those who reject Del, making it clear that the only path to change is the support of all those "caught in the grip of the city". Meet Cleofis Randolph the Patriarch- This is an example of those who are fighting with Del, a fellow MC with zanny, futuristic raps. Cleofis references many futuristic ideas unique to Del's world such as clones, the destruction of New York, and the rarity of chocolate chips. These talented MCs who arose from the new world of creative freedom Del built might be on his side now, but in the future they will begin to break away and eventually some will become adversaries to Del. Time Keeps On Slipping- This is a musical representation of Deltron's ongoing war against the system and those affected by it. This is seen within the track's hook, where David Auburn says, "no one knows the time, pass me by", since David's other appearance on the album was as an employee of the corporate bank of time, his pitiful cries on the hook can be seen as Deltron having torn down this system. As the war rages on, the time becomes unknown, and many figure heads of the corporate government fall. Del outlines this ongoing war with his first verse, saying he's a powerful force that hopes to tear down the system by sending his fighters to the fortresses of his enemies. Del speaks of his skills, and training other MCs for battle, so, like him, they can spark their message within the brains of others. In his second verse, Del outlines more of the same, such as how it's his destiny to restructure the world with his raps. With all his fame and power, other MCs try to imitate Del, but they can never live up to his greatness. Del scars, or breaks, the Matrix so many people are trapped in, one where they are unaware of the government controlling them. In his third verse, Del speaks of warping into his own imagination to recharge his lyrics before he destroys his opponents. Del and his crew are heroic bandits who plan on toppling the system and establishing a new, non-oppressive leader in the form of Del, whose legacy will live on for centuries after his passing. The News (A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Microsoft Inc.)- This skit shows how the news negatively presents Del as an alien invader. It's clear from the skit's title that the news in the year 3030 is corporate and thus only backs up the messages that the government wants to push, and that's exactly what occurs here. While the government may wrongly phrase Del as an alien invader, in some ways he is. Del's ideas are alien to the government, so the skit finds a real world connection in how the government frequently attempts to pose those with a differing ideology as the enemy, just like Del. Turbulence (Remix)- After being framed as an alien invader by the government on the skit "The News", Del strikes back, revealing the dark truth about the injustices of the government, and connecting these injustices to the real world. Del opens the track with the hook, saying, "I envision turbulence and murder since it's an everyday occurence". This line shows Del's philosophy, that while the future might bring war and death, it's worth it, because much of that is already occurring in the streets everyday. Del opens his first verse with a dedicated attack against the system, insulting their authoritative nature, but also insulting foolish rebels, who are too caught up in drugs to properly combat the system. Del differentiates himself, saying that while he may use drugs he's still able to string together immaculate rhymes. Del has become disillusioned with earth after he fully realized how deep the corruption went and desires an escape. On earth, rebels are silenced and the government is allowed to get away with almost anything, much like in the real world. To the government, the people are nothing more than property which they will happily force to live in dire conditions as long as they're profiting. In the world of 3030, the upper class educate themselves in flying cities, high above the lower class, who spend their days working in factories to build the technologies that the rich use. This is an obvious parallel to the real world, where the upper class use technologies that the poor are forced to slave over. While Del's lessons would benefit the population, the government oppresses him, only concerning themselves with education about the ideas they deem to be right. Del ends his verse with a direct reference to the previous skit, saying that aliens did in fact land on earth, but deemed it not worthy of invasion, showing that the idea of an alien invasion would be ridiculous due to the state of earth. The Fantabulous Rap Extravaganza Part II- For the entire album now Del has been fighting against the unjust system of earth, gaining support from other MCs and fighting a never-ending war on "Time Keeps On Slipping", and now he needs a break. So when an advertisement for a Intergalactic Rap Battle arises, Del jumps at the opportunity, despite his prior commitments. Battlesong- Deltron make their way to the galactic embassy to enter the Intergalactic Rap Battle, attempting to bypass payment due to their heroic deeds. When this doesn't work Deltron pay and make their way to their first destination, Mercury. Del steps up to the plate against his first opponent, who's a lackluster rapper, relying on assistance from his crew to attempt victory, but Del puts a stop to this with his musical heat, destroying his opponents. Deltron make it back to their ship and warp to Pluto to combat their next opponent. This combatant has Del on the ropes at first, even taking out Dan. However, Del strikes back with an astounding acapella to annihilate the rival MC, taking the number one spot. Finally, Del is taken back to earth to face his last opponent, since they're located on earth this one was probably inspired to MC by Del himself. Deltron arrive on the colony and meet their opponent Qusar, a quadruped who hits Del with four forearms, but his attacks are no match for Del's rhymes, which squeeze out Qusar's brain. Love Story- This track opens in the aftermath of "Battle Song", with Del dividing his winnings with his partners, having just won ten grand in the rap battle. He is eager to return to earth and kick back, smoking weed and taking a vacation. Del blasts back to his home of Oakland, the home of the real world Del, having to thaw it out since he's been gone for so long. However, Del makes it clear that his home is a terrible place, filled with pick-pockets, junkies, and technology addicted tourists. Del is relaxing at home, calling in sick to avoid work, and this cost him his job as the rhyme federation's champion. Now Del resorts to rhyming for a paycheck and costing off his past fame. Del is trapped in his dead end life, believing that he's under appreciated, but still doing nothing with his ample talents. Del sees a fine looking girl and sends one of his androids to go talk to her, telling her that he can take her places such as Venus and Mercury with his fame, and this is the tragic conclusion to Del's story. There's no happy ending where Del triumphs against the system, instead the album's narrative exist to tell the story of an aspiring activist, who becomes disillusioned with his true goals for change, eventually only wanting fame and fortune, and finally becoming so lazy that they can't even pursue that, merely coasting off his prior success for the rest of his life. This is all too often the case in the rap industry, where many sell out their true desires for a quick pay check, and with the cautionary story of Deltron Zero, Del outlines how many MCs can waste their potential. Memory Loss- On the album's final track, Del breaks character for the first time on the whole record to outline the album's lessons. The track opens with Del saying, "You try to get over, you're gonna go under", essentially that while many try to rise above the corporate system, like Deltron Zero, they eventually cave and fall to the very principles they once refuted. Del says that it's 3030, but this time instead of referencing the year, Del uses it to reference his vision, saying it's beyond perfect. This is because Del can finally see the truth behind so many rappers. Del preaches his lessons on the first verse, saying that it's unfair to judge people just based on their environment, while there are many who go against lessons of black empowerment from Del's home town, he looks past them and draws his influence from the Black Panthers, a group of racial activists formed in Oakland. While people might like to say that Del's just a whiner, these are the same people who hate children merely because they weren't taught algebra as a kid. While as a child they fought for the very thing schools now have, they are upset that they didn't reap the benefits of their actions. This is the memory loss of the track's title, where many attempt to make change and inspire those who simply complain about the world without taking action, but they grow tired of activism, resolving to dislike change and become the very people they wanted to inspire. This is a cycle that Del vows to avoid, resolving to be an inspiration to others despite the hate of those who don't want change. In his second verse, Del plans to catch those who dislike him in their foolish behavior, where they idolize bygone revolutionaries, instead of looking at the one right in front of them, Del, who achieved his status not through idolizing others, but through being an individual. In a short interlude, Sean Lennon says that despite the chaos of the current world, humans can still make the best of their situation. This leads nicely into the album's final verse, where Del speaks to his listeners, telling them that he's coming from the heart since he knows how real the world is for many. Del gives the example of someone selling drugs to their own mother, but he says he doesn't judge, rather he understands that this behavior stems from a racism system, and he encourages his listeners to do research, not to get caught up in idolizing the surface level revolutionaries, but doing deeper research and making their own change based on that. Del has his own issues, seeing the dire lives of many black Americans, and making more money than them, then having most of his cash taken by the government to pay the criminally low wages of the lower class. It's a system where no one can succeed, but Del refuses to become content with his surroundings fighting for global equality due to a recurring dream where he dies and is confronted by all those who he's wronged. Del's quest is a noble one, but a difficult one, where he'll have to stick to his guns and try to make change in a world that rejects it. Unlike Deltron Zero, Del refuses to become content with his life of success, ending the album with a call to god in hopes that he can relate with nature, not being manipulated by other humans or falling to his own vices, instead remaining peaceful and calm through whatever the future may bring. While Deltron 3030 may have told a grand story filled with action and battles, the real war has only just begun. The Assmann 640 Speaks- The album ends with a recording playing from the Assmann 640, an ancient german recording device. The message the recorder presents is the same from the album's opening skit, truly proving that the conflict between corporate power and rebels against the system is an eternal one. For all of time rebels have tried to go over the system, only to cave under its influence, and as Deltron 3030 showed it will be this way for centuries more, but it doesn't always have to be. As Del showed on the album's final track, with strength and knowledge some can overcome this system, avoid their memory loss, and make lasting change. This isn't a concept tied to 1930 or 2030 or 3030, but rather one that exists as long as conflict does, and it's only a matter of time before someone picks up the mantle of a true rebel, just like Del.

| Posted: 13 Apr 2020 04:08 PM PDT This is sick. So far as I can tell, they've only done 3 though. 50, LL Cool J and I think the RZA all got albums redone for this and have been released. The Iron Man one for Get Rich or Die Tryin is pretty rad, plus I'm from the generation where that album was relevant to me so I definitely have it in the cabinet with my other albums. I did a little research and found out this project began in 2018. I am mystified why the rest of these in this compilation book haven't been released yet, despite the fact it was widely publicized at the time that this was gonna be an ongoing thing. I've tried Googling answers but so far could only find stuff on the initial deal and releases back in 2018. Does anyone know what happened with this project? Is it still on-going? Was it abandoned because artists couldn't agree on terms or something? The Wu release for 36 chambers looks really cool. I also wouldn't mind owning that Black Album one, despite already having the original. Does anyone have any more information on this project? [link] [comments]  |
