Mashup of Kendrick Lamar and the Super Mario Bros. theme all but writes itself
Astronomers now generally agree that the sun will burn out in a mere five to seven billion years, and when that happens, Earth is a goner. Humanity, in all likelihood, will have vanished well before then, since the planet will be devoid of moisture within a billion years. It is incumbent, then, upon all people to use the remaining time wisely and constructively. In that spirit, a Soundcloud user from Melbourne, Australia called Victorylaptop has concocted a brief but sprightly mashup titled “Kendrick Lamario Bros,” which, for 95 fun-filled seconds, joins Koji Kondo’s indelible theme from Super Mario Bros. to Kendrick Lamar’s “King Kunta” from his acclaimed To Pimp A Butterfly album. The timing of this remix is fortunate, as both the game and its blippy accompanying music just turned 30 back on September 13. Were he real, Mario would likely have fond memories of playing Super Mario Bros. as a kid, memories which would be jogged by this very mashup.
