Schaffer the Darklord

[edit]

Should we mention the song "My Dinner With Jello" by nerdcore rapper Schaffer the Darklord?

Oxymoron

[edit]

Given that Jello (what in the UK would be called jelly) is an effete dessert food, typically eaten at children's parties; and Biafra, which owing to its being blockaded by Nigeria became in the 1970s almost a by-word for starvation: might not Jello Biafra be in effect an oxymoron? Uniting two mutually opposite values (abundance and famine) into a single, absurd but at the same time poetic protest. Nuttyskin (talk) 12:37, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wait: it seems you know it's a reference to Radio Biafra? 99.100.177.165 (talk) 06:36, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The juxtaposition was deliberate I think. Punk rock and all that. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 10:17, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notable signs in his mayor campaign

[edit]

I'm pretty sure the quote "what if he does win" is simply "what if he wins??" On the sign . It is blearily shown in some photos I've seen and does not seem like it has "does" in it Surfingtheinterweb (talk) 09:43, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Collaborations

[edit]

Jello appears as George W Bush throughout the Cage song “Grand Ol Party Crash” in the album Hell’s Winter 2601:195:C501:D2A0:7089:C162:3353:C2A0 (talk) 06:19, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
