Overly Sarcastic Productions on RUclips has a fantastic series summarizing Journey To The West if you're interested in learning about Sun Wukong's lore.
Wukong did poetry rap hype intro a BUNCH in the original Journey to the West. There are no joke. Wukong would 1000% approve of this song. Same with the fact that "roots in the dirt" bit. He was treated horribly by the gods since he hatched from a stone. Wukong might not have been a headache, but he made friend easy with his charm and fantastic sense of humor. He studied and worked incredibly hard for everything. His biggest problems were because heaven kept insulting him and treating him like garbage. Most his errors were custom stuff and manners no one was willing to correct him on until he went too far when he was rejected for a peach festival and decided to do 8 different really bad things at the same time. Prompting him to abandone heaven, be forced to fight. Dragged to heaven to be slow cooked alive for 49 days in smoke and fire. Permanently disfiguring him, and only THEN does he snap and get scary angry enough to become a try and take over heaven. Buddha beats him in a wager which Wukong then respects because anyone who can pull one over on him fair and square erns his respect. 500 years later after hes freed by a buddhist monk he must escorts east does so semi- voluntary. Yes he has the tightening crown on, but if Wukong didn't want to go, Tripitaka and Buddha would let him bail. Thing is, Wukong as a character wants to feel fulfilled and be a person worthy of love and respect. Hes ALWAYS wanted that. But adoration from others isn't enough, it will never be enough. Hes dedication to go West and achieve buddha hood is a beautiful story because of how genuinely character driven it is and allegory for how unstoppable and whim driven an undisciplined human mind is. Wukong makes several poems about how Master Tripitaka is his dad and the narrator brings up that everyone was to afraid to ever talk down to him like a child. "Once a teacher, always a father" being one of my favorite lines from the book. I love Journey to the West, its genuinely a beautiful and halarious book of philosophy and religious and political satire. And it now makes watching anime impossible because whole tropes were pulled from this book. Like everything from the pokemon Gym bages in og pokemon - the anime hotspring fan service episode with a pervert getting their ass kicked by the girls they were creeping in. Fights lasting to long and hiroic declorations and intermissions. 10-10 would recomend. (Something something algorithm but i wanted to say something worthwhile.)
Sad thing many westerners aren’t as familiar with Wukong as they are with Goku and assume he was copying Dragonball while those like me who grew up on JTTW are face palming at the cringe of their ignorance.
Wukong isn't really a god more so a Monkey that gained powers and immortality by not only Taoist training but also eating drinking and "crossing his name from the deathnote"

This hits 20x harder when you're already obsessed with Sun Wukong and know all the references.

fruit of my labors is a line talking about his Mountain of Flowers and Fruit that he was born on from a stone
for anyone wondering devels is the middle english spelling of devils
The construction sites/levels line was not only well crafted, but also a reference to the OG Donkey Kong/Jump Man game
~_~
Woa, I didn't even catch that
the wallace and grommet reference is my favorite part of the song, it was so unnexpected
Everything related to Wukong makes me so happy it's crazy, i'm crazy
3:17 that bruh sounded exactly like the one in memes lol
6:38 I looked up shwabadi and it is the first image that shows up on Google images.
Let's go more quest reactions to rustage
If I remember the final vote was between Sun Wukong and Optimus Prime
The man who dove me in watching reaction is back, lets goooo. Need more quest rustage reactions
Crazy how Shwabadi also said it wasn't himself 😅😅
Conner quest love your raps alot i listen to them daily
Ngl this might be my new favorite Rustage track I just can't stop listening 😩

rustage reactions is the bes!
I Don’t know what I expected Connor Quest to look like, but this is a surprise
Your reaction to the Shwabadi verse was priceless 😂
This is when I'm actually realizing you have a second channel. 🔥🔥🔥
Holy crap didn't even know you started posting on here again. Then I realized I didn't have post notifications on🤦🏾♂️
The line from his feature with DPS😅
With this and Shwabadi's new Hades song, you should also do a mythological god rap featuring a singer
I suggest Loki or Maui
The god himself Connor QUEST!❤
If you watch a lot of sun wukong movies
Bro is a really funky guy
Ah yes lets go to anyss to crush an emodiment of evil self-esteem...
I believe the twitch link in the description is wrong, but nice reaction
And google say yes it is the first pic on Google images 😀
Notification squad
lowkey when i saw this song released and saw Thirds art i thought Rustage made a God Game inspired song LMAO
