#mo bamba

Honestly, at first glance I kind of forgot why I even put this rip in the drafts of posts! All that I knew was that it wasn't one I've ever had in any of my playlists, yet I had no recollection of how it ended up here. As soon as I hit play to listen back to it again though, the memories of laughing to this stupid shit at 2AM a few weeks ago all came flooding back - Moriah Carey is a stupid idea that should've never been attempted, executed with such perfect gusto. This is a rip that'll haunt me forever in its sheer absurdity.

Mo Bamba by rapper Sheck Wes isn't exactly a tune I've been able to place a finger on until just recently - I knew it was a viral song in the same vein as Sicko Mode, but it felt so entirely out of my wheelhouse to even begin to try and look into. Yet without having done that research for either of those tracks - or indeed, music like Right Foot Creep, I suddenly found myself with an attachment to them purely through idiotic, ironic shitposting. Both of the two aforementioned songs are ones I've covered here before with SICKO TALE and Loopdeloop Griddy respectively, so I suppose its about time to close the trio out - even if, really, I don't have much constructive to say.

Because like, really - its just a damn funny idea! The droning, almost haunting beat of Mo Bamba, paired with the borderline obnoxious cheerfulness of Mariah Carey's played-out Christmas music, is juxtaposition in its clearest form, and works pretty much perfectly together for comedic effect due to that. Its a pretty fun listen unironically as well of course, the mix is done very properly despite its absurd concept, and there's a really fun little sprinkle tossed in halfway through the rip.
