"Stulbein & The Prime"

What is a Stulbein?

Discerning listeners of D.I. Prime's previous effort, "Erik Seidel", will recall that Erik spent a year in Germany. What they may not know is that he spent that year with his brother, Florian. When Erik's song was posted, Florian was one of the first to download it. He sent Prime a message saying that he was part of a German rap group named Stulbein (translation: "chair leg", although at least one linguistic expert speculates that it's a phallic reference). He also sent Prime an mp3 of an instrumental track and said that Stulbein would like to collaborate with D.I. Prime some day.

That was all Prime needed to hear. He converted the mp3 into a wave file, chopped it up, looped it up, gratuitously added more instruments, slathered the unsavory collation with 131 words of arrhythmic exhortation, re-encoded it and posted it here for your auditory excruciation.
