The Mob Rap, Pt. I, by JT Machinima, is a song that gives voice to various hostile mobs in the popular video game, Minecraft. Each mob takes turns rapping about their characteristics, abilities, and experiences in the game. The song begins with the Zombie, who boasts about being an undead monster and the unstoppable force he becomes when chasing players. He warns that if someone angers him, he will retaliate fiercely since his skin is green and his heart is black. Next, the Skeleton introduces himself as a menacing creature, comparing himself to the fictional character Legolas and highlighting his accuracy with a bow and arrow. He also reveals that he enjoys shooting players for fun, particularly if they are outside at night. The Creeper, despite its phallic shape, insists on being taken seriously as a threat. It describes the hissing sound it makes before exploding, claiming that its blast radius will bring players down with it. The Creeper jokes that saying goodbye to higher levels is inevitable after encountering it. The chorus is a reminder that when the sun sets in the Minecraft world, the mobs come out, with the sole mission of killing the players or "target." It questions whether the listener is capable of fighting off the mobs or if they are simply a noob who relies on creative mode. The Zombie Pigman then steps in, mentioning its spawn location in the Nether, a dangerous dimension in the game. It reveals that it and its fellow Pigmen are often provoked by players, resulting in a pack attack. The Zombie Pigman makes a humorous reference to its resemblance to bacon and warns not to underestimate its golden sword. The Villager takes a different approach, presenting itself as an innocent character caught in the crossfire of the game's chaos. It shares that its simple life of growing herbs and smoking a pipe is often disrupted by hostile mobs and griefers. The Villager encourages unity and cooperation among players. The Ghast, a floating, fireball-shooting creature, addresses its high-pitched voice and inability to live in houses due to its size. It mentions taking a nap in the sky and challenging taller players. The Ghast also reveals that despite its baby-like sound, it spawns in the hellish dimension of the game. Lastly, the Enderman confesses that rapping isn't its style and prefers not to sing. It simply expresses its tall, dark and mysterious nature, claiming that it minds its own business until someone angers it. The Enderman warns players not to look at its face, emphasizing the importance of respecting its territory. Overall, the song, through the various mobs' perspectives, showcases the diversity of hostile creatures in Minecraft and the roles they play in the game's mechanics and challenges.
