Dead Turtle Rap in Saida (not for the feint at heart)

Allow me to introduce myself: MC
BOMBABOMB.

Having enjoyed a nice train ride, threatened to ride a horse and met a dog with an absolutely enormous face everything was going pretty swell during BEIRUTSTATEofMIND’s weekend stroll along Saida’s Corniche. That is until I happened upon a quite upsetting and unexpected scene.

Upon the sandy, rubbish strewn beach lay a massive dead turtle that looked to have been attacked by a larger predator or perhaps a boat propeller.

Having approached to inspect the rather sombre scene I was then interrupted by the arrival of a man calling himself MC BOMBABOMB who after touchingly pointing out similarities between the Arabic and Hebrew languages and the Islamic and Jewish faiths burst into a spontaneous freestyle beside said turtle. Thus turning the occasion into amongst the most surreal BEIRUTSTATEofMIND has experienced in Lebanon.

Quite impressed by BOMBABOMB’s steez I had planned to link some of the Saida MC’s recorded work here pon de blog. However, unfortunately upon further inspection it turned out to be pretty wack…

Moved by the scene at hand, MC BOMBABOMB began to pen some new lyrics. 10/03/13.
