Einstein's Takin' Off Lyrics

ANDYCAT: When young
DIZZY: Einstein
ANDYCAT: Was a kid
DIZZY: With a bid
ANDYCAT: He had some 1200's inside his crib
DIZZY: And an MPC, under his sheets
ANDYCAT: To make beats, accomplishing incredible feats
DIZZY: While other kids played games like Chinese checkers
ANDYCAT: Rod pounded the pavement to find these records he used
DIZZY: He makes hits with the flick of a wrist
ANDYCAT: Einstein's taking off
DIZZY: Let me put it like this
There's not a Benadryl pill that could stop the itch
Or a scratch when my DJ gets up in the mix
He grips the cross fader with his nimble fingertips
And flips it back and forth, no transform switch
ANDYCAT: And the needle never skips?
DIZZY: Well it did one time,
When a fan got hype and bumped the tables from behind
EINSTEIN: So please give me some room when I'm going for mine
DIZZY: Einstein's taking off
ANDYCAT: Take off Einstein

(Einstein on the turntables)
When it gets to the end, tell him do it again!...
When it gets to the end, tell him do it again!...
Young Einstein... don't try to play me...
I like to make funky beats and record 'em...
The scratch... th-th-the scratch...
We'll be on top... so long!...
Young Einstein... don't try to play me...
I like to make funky beats and record 'em...
The scratch... th-th-the scratch...
I got two great partners standing by me...

ANDYCAT: Take the freeway from Canada to TJ
And I know that you won't find another DJ
DIZZY: Slash
ANDYCAT: Super record digger
DIZZY: Slash
ANDYCAT: Drum major
DIZZY: Slash
ANDYCAT: Producer
DIZZY: Slash
ANDYCAT: Ugly Duckling making a splash
He lifts loops from the original LP's
Would never think of sampling a beat break CD
And when we come to do your show, turn off the DAT's
Save 'em for those other acts, Einstein's got the wax
For the turntables, he'll reverse it, scratch,
Cut it in half... and reattach it
And keep it spinning from the beginning to the duration
when (Young Einstein) is in (deep concentration)
Yo Diz!
DIZZY: Wassup?
ANDYCAT: We almost didn't tell 'em
How Rod explores record stores like he was Magellan
DIZZY: Searching for the beats only he can find
ANDYCAT: Einstein's taking off
DIZZY: Take off Einstein

Ugly Duckling

Ugly Duckling are a hip hop trio, formed in 1993 in Long Beach, California. Ugly Duckling's members are Dizzy Dustin, Young Einstein and Andy Cooper. Their style is alternative hip hop, influenced especially by old school performers such as the Zulu Nation and the Native Tongues Posse. Most of their songs follow the creed that hip hop is about having fun and often mock the clichéd gangster rappers who dominate the mainstream. An example of this can be heard in the song "A Little Samba" and "Smack" in which they rap about the enormous wealth mainstream rappers brag about, and the ridiculous nature of their possessions, such as gold name plates on their cars, pet sharks and jetting off to Bermuda on private planes.

Being heavily influenced by old school hip hop, they conform to the original basics of rap music; turntablism and MCing. Their DJ, Young Einstein, forms the backbone of the group; he is renowned for performing very complex scratches both on the record and live, unlike in most modern rap where the DJ has been pushed to the back in order to emphasize the MC. He is also the owner of a famous 'Dookie Gold Chain' which is the subject of the groups song 'Eye On The Gold Chain' and is donned by Einstein during most live performances of the track. They are renowned for their live shows in which they perform various antics on stage and interact with the crowd getting them very hyped and affording them the reputation as brilliant live performers.

Their song Smack was featured on Tony Hawk's Project 8, In game and also as skater Paul Rodriguez Jr.'s Footage Soundtrack.

In 2012 group member Dizzy Dustin appeared on UK Hip Hop artist Ricta's debut album Snacks & Deception.
