-OTHELLO RAP-
"Here's a story 'bout a brother by the name of Othello
He liked white women and he liked green jello.
...And a punk named Iago, who made himself a menace
'cause he didn't like Othello, the Moor of Venice.
Now Othello got married to Desdemona
But he took off for the wars, and left her alone-a
it was a moan-a
a groan-a
he didn't write a letter, and he didn't telephone her(*telephone-Uh)
Desdemona, she was faithful, she was chastity tight
She's the daughter of a duke
Yeah she was totally white.
But Iago had a plan that was clever and slick
He was crafty
He was sly
He was sort of a d**k.
He say I'm gonna shaft the Moor
-How ya gonna do it?
-Tell us!
Well I know his tragic flaw is that he's
too damn jealous
I need a dupe
I need a dope
I need a kind of a shmoe.
So he finds a chump sucka by the name of Cassio
And he plants on him
Desdemona's handkerchief
And Othello gets to wondering just maybe if
While he benn out fighting
commanding an army
are Desi and Cass playin' hide the salami?
Sa-sa-sa-salam-SALAMI!
So he comes back home and stick a pillow in her face
Kills her, and soliloquizes 'bout his disgrace.
But there's Emelia at the door
Who we met in act IV
who says, 'You big dummy
she weren't no whore!
she was pure, she was clean, she was virginal too.
So why'd you have to go and make her face turn blue?"
It's true
It's you
Now whatcha gonna do?
And Othello says 'Yo, this is gettin' pretty scary!'
So he pulls out his blade and committed Hari-Kari
Iago got caught, but he prolly copped a plea
loaded up his bags
and moved to Beverly
-Hills, that is!"
I wish I could take credit for that, but I actually copied it from memory from a play I saw in my Shakespearean Readings class, called "The Compleat Works of William Shakespeare"
We had to memorize and perform it for an audience at the end of the year.
