    he Monkey King (simplified Chinese: 孙悟空; traditional Chinese: 孫悟空; pinyin: Sūn Wù Kōng) is best known as one of the main characters in the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West (traditional Chinese: 西遊記; simplified Chinese: 西游记) and many later stories and adaptations.[1] In said novel, Sun Wukong is a monkey born from a stone who acquires supernatural powers through Taoist practices. After rebelling against heaven, he is imprisoned under a mountain by the Buddha. After five hundred years, he accompanies the monk Tang Sanzang (唐三藏) riding on White Dragon Horse and two other disciples, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, on a journey to obtain Buddhist sutras from the West (India), where Buddha and his followers dwell.
    Sun Wukong possesses many abilities. He has amazing strength and is able to support the weight of two heaven mountains on his shoulders while running "with the speed of a meteor".[2] He is extremely fast, able to travel 108,000 li (54,000 km, 34,000 mi) in one somersault. He has vast memorization skills and can remember every monkey ever born. As king of the monkeys it is his duty to keep track of and protect every monkey. Sun Wukong also acquires the 72 Earthly Transformations, which allow him to access 72 unique powers, including the ability to transform into animals and objects. He is a skilled fighter, capable of defeating the best warriors of heaven. His hair has magical properties, capable of making copies of himself or transforming into various weapons, animals and other things. He also shows partial weather manipulation skills and can stop people in place with fixing magic.[3]
    The supernatural abilities displayed by Wukong and some other characters were widely thought of as "magic powers" at the time of Journey to the West's writing[4] and were often translated as such in non-Chinese versions of the book.

      @theforgottenscribe 6 месяцев назад +38

      I didn't personally find a recorded definition that included false in it, but I can back up its being used in context to refer to the gods, although the word in English is another spelling of devil. It refers to a god primarily in Romani and Welsh Romani, to add onto what the comment above said.

    "Light Of The Sun"
    (Sun Wukong Rap)
    (feat. Johnald)
    [Johnald:]
    So praise up to the light of the Sun
    [Rustage:]
    Yuh, yuh, every time I touch the mic
    This man's getting silly 'cause it's monkey time
    Wukong, ain't no Diddy, I'm a funky guy
    Shapeshift, do it tricky, yeah, I customize
    There's nothing like this Sun won't be brushed aside
    I run 'em like I won every monster fight
    Like what a guy, it's done, then it's supper time
    'Cause I'm on more levels than construction sites, huh
    Gonna cause a scene in heaven
    Keep a stick on my body, that's a lethal weapon
    And I'm sick of these Gods who wanna teach a lesson
    They just one immortal, they ain't beating seven
    And I send a Mighty Spirit to a deep depression
    Great Sage say I'm equal to the beasts they mention
    Five hundred years, that's a brief suspension
    Say they getting to the bread, it's a yeast infection, huh
    Fruits of my labour 'cause I was born from it
    Call me a savour, you can't be more honest
    They acting crackers, but can not talk - Grommet
    This is a legacy, not a short sonnet
    Way that I trend, I'm the topic
    Great from my birth to the day that I rest, I gon' rock it
    Hate on the best in the office
    Making my mess - how I pay my respect to the prophets
    [Johnald:]
    The winds of a storm, they cloud the sky
    And the Sun begins to fade
    A wish from the mortals, I hear their cries
    So the demons, I'll cast them away
    I'm a product of the heavens and earth, sent to save you
    Outcasted to fate from the devils above
    I'm a weapon who hurts those who hate you
    So praise up to the light of the Sun
    [Rustage:]
    Ay, they ain't gon' move to my tempo
    I do what I want 'cause I said so
    Big in the East, but I'm journeying West
    Don't crossed out my name in the Death Note
    Brush them aside with the pen strokes
    Monkey bars going right over your head, bro
    I stole that line straight from Shwabadi, moving like larceny
    But he ain't getting my cheque though, man, I'm too well-known
    I don't need a focus group
    I don't care what a God is supposed to do
    When they compared with the Sun, then the joke's on you
    Because I go right through, Luffy and Goku too
    And I got poster dudes like there's a photo booth
    Monkey popping noggins - way I'm blowing blooms
    'Cause they ain't in the ring, they don't know Lao Tzu
    But you ain't do a thing, I don't know about you, hah
    No permission, I don't beg forgiveness
    Endless wisdom that you'll bear to witness
    Gap is distant, overhead like nimbus
    I be in the sky 'cause I got air my business
    Man's too strong to end up like blacklisted
    Farming dudes, but way too hamfisted
    Monkey King, I leave Gods addicted
    Wukong - I'm a product of the
    [Johnald:]
    I'm a product of the heavens and earth, sent to save you
    Outcasted to fate from the devils above
    I'm a weapon who hurts those who hate you
    So praise up to the light of the Sun
    [Rustage:]
    We all have roots in the dirt
    No matter our origins, we move along and ignore all the hate in their words
    They put us in places and give us the roles that they think we deserve
    How many years will it take them to learn? Power within us is something that we gotta work for it's something that we gotta earn
    [Johnald:]
    The winds of a storm, they cloud the sky
    And the Sun begins to fade
    A wish from the mortals, I hear their cries
    So the demons, I'll cast them away
    I'm a product of the heavens and earth, sent to save you

    Once again, great job on the rap. It's really good to see people start to recognize mythology for what it is when it comes to songs of any kind and yours is far and above one of the most accurate portrayals of Sun Wukong I have had a pleasure of listening to in any media. Music was great, flowed really well and the lyrics brought everybody's favorite mokey king to life. What's more important to me was how accurate everything you talked about was and, as i said before, i was absolutely not dissapointed. Same as in the "Mythos" video, there are mistakes but you make up for it with production value
    You did a great job with references to his achievments and personality. Loved the diddy reference btw. When you talk about his exploits i love the mention of the Heavenly rampage he did before he got a mountain dropped on him. Also the reference to Jingu Bang (the magical size changing pillar that Sun uses as a weapon) and how he always has it on him (cause he shrinks it down for easy carry) was well placed. Nice play on the title of the "Great Sage Equall to Heaven", well done as well as mentioning the 500 year time skip while he was under a mountain. Drawing a reference to his birth, his strenght and the fact that Journey to the West left such an impacting legacy was really well done. The entire flow ending with the death note part is why i praise you for your accuracy, even if i do have some gripes. He is impolsive and does what he wants when he wants it and you ended it with him ereasing his name from the book of the dead which was his 2nd way of cheating death. So, totally on point. And yeah Sun is super op, only wanted to lazy around and neither Luffy nor Goku can stand up to him. Mentioning Laozi and the furnace as well as the fact he rides a nimbus, amazing stuff.
    The praise might seem wierd but i was typing as i was listening to the song. You did an outstanding job for the majority of it. I did find couple of things that were not exactly accurate. Now it could be just me not understanding what you were trying to say but fro. My understanding they were inaccurate all the same with one smalle nitpick that, arguably, there was no way you could have known.
    -> So the funny part, actually, Sun was an 8-fold immortal monkey. At the end of his journey, among the 7 immortalities he got, he ate food directly meant for Buddah meaning he gained another layer of immortality from it.
    -> Important thing to note here is that, i get the play on words i really do, but he wasn't born from a fruit and you did mention this later down the line. He was born from a magic rock that was sitting atop of Mountain of Flower and Fruit. I get what you were going for, but you could have worded it a bit better.
    -> "Call me a savior you can't be more honest" is a line that.....i don't know if i am missunderstanding or not but Sun was anything except a savior. Sure he helped Sanzang and was a king to his monkey band of missfits, but he did a lot of stuff that was really plain evil. And i am not even talking about pre-500 year imprisonment. Before the 500 year skip he ate people, went to war over bureaucracy, insulet buddah, etc. This is well known sp i am not going to go into too many details. When he became Sanzang's protector and disciple, he would kill anything that posed even a remote threat to anybody in the group, and he would do it with glee. Sun destroys a priceless heavenly tree laden with immortality-bestowing fruits simply because the guardians won’t share. He flaid people for fun in front of Sanzang to prove a point. Some killings were justified but he was not a savior. Also the chorus is kind of semi-inaccurate. He didn't protect people per say. Again before the 500 year skip, he ate them alive. It's easy to forget but sun is actually a divine demon, not a divine monkey. Like he is absolutely not a hero. The protagonist of Journey to the West, sure. But a hero? Absolutely not.
    Overall i stand by my assessment. You did a wonderful job bringing the monkey king to life and you deserve all the praise for that. I still think "Mythos" was more accurate and as such i can't rate this higher than a 9, but still you did an amazing job and i really can't wait to hear your next mythology based rap.

      @rustage  Год назад +25

      Thank you so much! i appreciate you taking your time to listen and comment!
      on your three points
      1. honestly i double checked the number an many sources said 7 (eg wikipedia says "Sun Wukong gained immortality through seven different means" ) but you right, he was 8-fold and i feel really stupid about it now (the whole EE-x-EH-UN rhyme scheme would be completely different if i knew lmao)
      2. yeah he was born from a rock on the flower and fruit mountain yeah and it was what i was referencing, the word play could still be interpreted like that i feel, but i understand the confusion
      3. I know, but the idea is that he's cocky and it's from his POV so he has an exaggerated view of himself even if it's wrong

    • @bonrex2390
      @bonrex2390 Год назад +6

      You know, i haven't thought about it. Yeah, that makes a lot more sense. Thank you for clarifying. As for the immortality thing, man, don't beat yourself up over it. It wasn't even meant to be a critique, just an "oh btw" bit because it happens at the very end of the story. And i am talking like chapter 100. You are absolutely fine. There are so many things to praise about this song that the 3 points are nothing more than nitpicks, really. Keep doing great work and keep making awesome songs, my guy. You did an amazing job with this one in every single regard.
