busdriver

The interviewer mentions Dadaism with respect to Busdriver’s rhymes. I can see the connection. Nonsense Verse also comes to mind. But in the end I feel like his lyrics tend to have more straight-forward meaning and subjects. His delivery might throw people off though. But what do I know? Link (pic courtesy of this fan page. i got sick of those press photos. so what if he doesn’t have dreds anymore?)

From Interview:

SFS: You’ve been described as having a Dadaist narrative. Is that true?

BD: It could be Dadaist at times. The stuff that I write does not always have a clear, linear path. It kind of bounces around and eventually gets somewhere.

Example of Nonsense Verse:

‘As I was going up the stair,
I met a man, who wasn’t there.
He wasn’t there again today,
Oh, how I wish he’d go away.
