Available in:
Kabuto The Python (also known as "KTP") began producing raps in 2007, though he rarely releases work today. Many of Kabuto's raps make use of a fictitious person as an alien snake. His MySpace page described him as "a mammoth creature in size and strength with a humanoid build. Many spikes adorn the creature's body, while its maw is fierce and imposing." His Last.Fm page describes this fictional persona in this way:
"A 2-year rap veteran at the time of this writing, Kabuto emerged in 2007 as a shit-talking, talented, and ruthlessly inventive alternative to the flow-deficient and gimmicky internet rap community. He quickly developed a reputation as a truculent personality, having engaged in one-sided beefs with such luminaries as MC Chris, documentary filmmaker Dan Lamoreaux, and pirate rapper Captain Dan. Kabuto is thought to have originally formed out of dark matter near Tau Ceti some 2 million years ago. Since his arrival on Earth, there has been much speculation as to his true form. He himself has not helped matters, describing himself in turn as a python, a deity, an alien, and incredibly ill. Over time, this has stabilized somewhat, and to all appearances, Kabuto seems to exist as a kind of Holy Trinity - rapper, snake, and alien beast. It has even been theorized that Kabuto is, in fact, an alter-ego of famed Nerdcore rapper MC Frontalot."
Despite this odd lore, Kabuto is widely recognized as one of the most talented rappers in the Nerdcore movement. His delivery is characterized by a very gravelly voice and impressive lyrical fluency. Despite his idiosyncratic persona, Kabuto's work is genuinely impressive, characterized by intricate wordplay and copious references to internet culture and his own lore. Kabuto himself has a love/hate relationship with Nerdcore as a genre, often criticizing those who listen to nerdcore without having any interest in other genres of rap.
Kabuto always performs in a Guy Fawkes mask. His early work seems to have been somewhat influenced by the hacker collective Anonymous and 4chan, including his tendency to insult people using gay slurs. Over time, though, his raps became less insult-driven and more inventive. While Kabuto's raps had always showed talent, his last three releases, The Kvetch Sessions, Ill Ron Hubbard, and The Almighty represent a clear step forward in his lyrical abilities and willingness to tackle more serious subject matter, albeit still with the comedic bent for which he has always been known.
Because of several computer crashes, much of his early work was lost entirely before being released. Some of his earliest releases are made up of raps that he considered weaker than his unreleased work.
Today, Kabuto does not rap regularly. His fans, desperate for more of his unique music, still comment on his pages and message him, which he finds profoundly annoying. After a long absence, he reappeared with the song "No Three Ways." It represented a simultaneous continuation and departure for him. The first 90 seconds are reminiscent some of his earlier work, but the rest of the five-minute song is profoundly vulnerable and autobiographical, frankly describing a difficult but important relationship. Soon after, he released a video entitled "Kabuto Proof of Life," in which he explained that he only raps for pleasure now, occasionally featuring on songs by friends. He does not know if he will ever release any further EPs or albums.
His best-known songs are "These Minerals," "The Face Kicking Song," "Ill Ron Hubbard," and "The Almighty."
