The absurdity and contradictions of the chaotic NFT frenzy! Rapper MC HotDog releases new song "NFT", music video and lyrics mock the trend.

On May 27th, Taiwanese rapper MC HotDog announced that he would be releasing an NFT, which led to an incident involving fake NFTs on OpenSea. This prompted a response from MC HotDog's official statement denying any NFT release. On June 1st, MC HotDog clarified that it was all related to the release of his new song "NFT - Nonstop Fucking Trouble," and officially released the music video on June 2nd.

The lyrics of the song "NFT" include the following lines: "The world is still suffering, yet imagining dancing in the metaverse in the future. Masks are worn on mouths, not to cover the shame in our eyes. Everyone can see who is pursuing wealth while pretending to create art, like a new lighthouse that the mouse seems to build temporarily, tempting everyone to continue being the tasteless white mouse. Endless trouble, something that doesn't need encryption, unique and untradeable, the true reality of life that no one can buy."

MV Image Appears to Mock Several Celebrity NFTs

In the released single cover and within the MV visuals, there seem to be shadows of various celebrity NFTs, such as: Chen Linjiu's YOLO Cat, Jay Chou or Liu Genghong's PhantaBear, Show Lo's LionHeart, Shawn Yue's ZombieClub, Justin Bieber's inBetweeners, etc.

Lyrics

《NFT》
Lyrics: MC HotDog
Music: MC HotDog, Tipsy Kao

Mountains are NFT, seas are NFT
Why are cats and dogs all NFT now?
Metaverse, my f*cking universe
Days are almost unbearable, who has time to care in the future?
Is this sense of alienation not virtual yet?
The walking dead are left with bodies
We are the world, but humanity is just a false reputation
The world is getting more absurd, living feels like tripping
Unconsciously wearing masks for two years
How did those days pass? Time feels robbed
Struggling every day, the truth of the news
Removing the child from the womb because of fear
Hurry to compete, no one will share
Regardless of the currency, the smell of money is so fragrant
I'm like a traveler from an old timeline
Endless at the end, as if living at the bottom
Nonstop Fxxking Trouble
My Nonstop Fxxking Trouble
Why do lies become more absurd?
Is this the universe you speak of?

When I close the door of my room
It's like entering another universe
Perhaps for children, parents are their universe
If there really is a universe we can reach in this world
Why do you bastards get to define it?

Decentralization, speaking some heartfelt words
From Type Beat to Ether, you're really HIP HOP
What's the point of being so virtual that it scares me?
You jump, I jump, let's see whose nerves hold out in the end
They all say this universe is great, but I'm completely confused
This is the trend, you fish should swim over here
Unfortunately, I'm really useless, isolated from the world
Go see how Chen Linjiu is more decent than you
Fly towards you, fly towards me, fly towards the universe
Bring all those damn problems into the universe
Bring all the unspeakable secrets into the universe
Disparities in wealth exist everywhere, no need for a reason
Does your universe have viruses?
Is it for getting rich or really for art?
Dress up your avatar with new clothes
It's obviously ugly but makes everyone jealous

Nonstop Fxxking Trouble
My Nonstop Fxxking Trouble
Why do lies become more absurd?
Is this the universe you speak of?
