Welcome to the Vocal Magna experimentation center

Today in our laboratory we are investigating with a new subject

He calls himself Nach

And he is perhaps the strangest and most active of those we've worked with before

But let's start with the presentation

We will divide it into 3 phases

And please, do not try this at home

Phase of experimentation

Number 1

Difficulty level 6

Vowel "A"

Work, shape the words, make them bullets

Catch bursts, go out, smash every room

Bark until you tear your throat

Show your claws, your weapons

The stands will clap

Fame takes time, fool, you will never find peace

Bitter long faces drag evil

You will crawl, you will pay dearly for your mistakes

The laughter will taste salty

After so many traps, after so much fuss

So many false praises, after so many hits

So many souls passed to reach calm

So many delusions, Nach sends ghosts to the Sahara

Cheap talks drill until they make you gag

Weak paragraphs will end up poorly positioned

So bad for massacring, for winning battles

Set aside, kicked, trapped until you measure up

Rascal, are you going to ring the bell?

Not at all

Comrades will gather to intimidate

You will even sing ballads to please the masses

Jump home, Kansas already

Incredible, right?

But we are not going to stop there

We will increase the difficulty of reaction

The subject is cold and doesn't even flinch

He seems confident

Let's see how he behaves now

Let's move on to the next presentation

Phase of experimentation

Number 2

Difficulty level 8

Vowel "O"

I don't compose with joints

I only put rum or funk

I propose a high as a finale

I form monologues, all the gigs are ovens

I touch you with sound jets, colossal like Concords

I confirm it, I control all the modes

I know all the achievements

I place all the choruses, idiots

I don't clone, I don't bribe, I just enjoy it, I break it

Like Rocco, I’ll screw you soon

I don't crown robots with monotonous flow

Few are like lead

I float through tones like cork

I don't donate, I chloroform

I form the cosmos, the combos

They are thick, the kicks are deep, heavy

I, start big fights with other crazies

We are orcs, you are lame colts

Forums with weak fans

I mess with you with a condom, with a gift, compose like I do, costly

I don't touch help, I blow you away like dust

I erase you, fools, I bring you pain from all your pores

I provoke red eyes from muffled sobs

Watch out! everything with Os, I nail it!

We had never encountered a subject like this

His capacity seems unlimited

Please remain calm

We are going to increase the difficulty dose to the maximum

No one has ever managed to surpass this stage

I repeat, no one

Phase of the presentation

Number 3

Difficulty level 10

Vowel "E"

Seeing decent people perish shakes me

Le Pen is the germ, the PP deserves the thirteen

Mediocre sell 3 CDs, what do they think?

They think they are bosses of this Eden, let them have it, heretics!

They must understand that defending me is wanting to lose

Do they intend to defeat me in this set? I will be Federer

I started from the toilet, buried the stress

In the present, the reference is Everest, believe me

The key is to have faith

Beings that wish for me to get sick, despair

They intend for me to crash, to stop this express train

They fear seeing that this LP is the Best Seller of the month

See? The duty to entertain belongs to me

The duty to ignite minds

Demented ones that darken

Respect me!

Stop pouring pestilence

Earthly beings see that I rose among celestial entities

Seeing me age, yield, NEVER!

Man, add the reverb

Let MCs of February pray

I repel weaklings

Hostages of trembling decrease in front of this sheikh

It's impressive

The subject has passed all the tests

And his heart rate hasn't even accelerated

Please, remain calm

Don't panic

We are witnessing one of the most spectacular moments in the history of rap in this country

This son of a bitch is capable of anything

...

Bienvenidos al centro de experimentación Vocal Magna

Hoy en nuestro laboratorio estamos investigando con un nuevo sujeto

Se hace llamar Nach

Y es, quizás el más extraño y activo de los que hemos trabajado anteriormente

Pero empecemos con la exposición

La dividiremos en 3 fases

Y por favor, no intenten hacer esto en sus casas

Fase de la experimentación

Número 1

Nivel de dificultad 6

Vocal "A"

Trabaja, plasma las palabras, hazlas balas

Atrapa ráfagas, sal, machaca cada sala

Ladra hasta rasgar la garganta

Saca las garras, las armas

Las gradas harán palmas

La fama tarda, patán, jamás hallarás paz

Amargas caras largas arrastran la maldad

Andarás a rastras, pagarás caras las cagadas

Las carcajadas sabrán saladas

Tras, tantas trampas, tras, tanta jarana

Tantas falsas alabanzas, tras, tantas caladas

Tantas almas traspasadas para alcanzar la calma

Tantas pájaras, Nach manda fantasmas al Sáhara

Charlas baratas taladran hasta dar arcadas

Parrafadas flacas acabarán mal paradas

Tan malas para masacrar, para ganar batallas

Apartadas, a patadas, atrapadas hasta dar la talla

Canalla, ¿vas a dar la campanada?

Para nada

Camaradas harán manada para achantar

Hasta cantarás baladas para agradar a las masas

Salta pa' casa, Kansas ya

Increíble, ¿verdad?

Pero no nos vamos a quedar ahí

Aumentaremos la dificultad de reacción

El sujeto es frío y ni se inmuta

Parece confiado

Vamos a ver cómo se comporta ahora

Pasemos a la siguiente exposición

Fase de la experimentación

Número 2

Nivel de dificultad 8

Vocal "O"

Yo no compongo con porros

Solo pongo ron o fonk

Propongo colocón como colofón

Formo monólogos, todos los bolos son hornos

Os toco con chorros sonoros, colosos como Concords

Lo corroboro, controlo todos los modos

Conozco todos los logros

Coloco todos los coros, mongolos

No clono, no soborno, sólo lo gozo, lo rompo

Como Rocco, os follo pronto

No corono robots con flow monótono

Pochos son como plomo

Yo floto por los tonos como corcho

No dono, cloroformo

Formo los cosmos, los combos

Son gordos, los bombos son hondos, tochos

Yo, monto gordos pollos con otros locos

Nosotros somos orcos, vosotros potros cojos

Foros con forofos flojos

Os jodo con condón, con don, compón como yo costoso

No toco socorro, os soplo como polvo

Os borro, bobos, os broto dolor por to's los poros

Provoco ojos rojos por sollozos sordos

¡Ojo! todo con Os, ¡lo bordo!

Nunca habíamos dado con un sujeto así

Su capacidad parece ilimitada

Permanezcan tranquilos, por favor

Vamos a aumentar la dosis de dificultad al máximo

Nadie ha conseguido nunca superar esta etapa

Repito, nadie

Fase de la exposición

Número 3

Nivel de dificultad 10

Vocal "E"

Ver gente decente perecer me estremece

Le Pen es el germen, el PP merece el trece

Mequetrefes venden 3 CD's, ¿qué se creen?

Se creen jefes de este Edén, ¡Que les den, herejes!

Deben entender que defenderme es querer perder

¿Pretenden vencerme en este set? Seré Federer

Empecé desde el retrete, enterré el estrés

En el presente el referente es el Everest, creedme

El eje es tener fe

Seres que deseen que enferme, desespérense

Pretenden que me estrelle, que frene este tren exprés

Temen ver que este LP es el Best Seller del mes

¿Ves? Que el deber de entretener me pertenece

El deber de encender mentes

Dementes que ennegrecen

¡Respétenme!

Dejen de verter pestes

Seres terrestres ven que me elevé entre entes celestes

Verme envejecer, ceder, ¡NEVER!

Men, métele el reverb

Que recen MCs de Feber

Me repelen peleles enclenques

Rehenes del tembleque decrecen en frente de este jeque

Es impresionante

El sujeto ha superado todas las pruebas

Y su ritmo cardíaco ni siquiera se ha acelerado

Por favor, manténganse tranquilos

Que no cunda el pánico

Estamos ante uno de los momentos más espectaculares en la historia del rap en este país

Este hijo de puta es capaz de todo
