a brief note on this blog's name

i was at a loss as to what to name the blog, and in a fit of impatience, settled on a phrase that often pops into my head at random intervals. after i'd already committed to the name, i thought on it some and realized it was part of an actual lyric from an actual song that was lodged somewhere creaky and spiderwebby in my memory.

that lyric was "i'm a hip hop lyrical robot." i know. it's embarrassing.

so, i did what anyone would do who was at a loss regarding the origin of something. i googled. and upon googling, found the song from whence it came. "hip-hop lyrical robot" by ub40. color me horrified.

but then i read the lyrics, and they are soooo me:

I want the girls to hear me rap
Cause this mc has got the nack
I`m your body-popping shell shocking
Girls hocking eye popping lick me all over like a lollipop
I`m your juicy fruit
Alright, alright, alright

it gave me chills when i read the lyric 'i want the girls to hear me rap.' ub40 took the exact reason i am blogging and put it in their totally body-popping, shell-shocking song. rad!
