After the release of the first album, the group became a duo for unknown reasons with the departure of Yodared and Myntric. Pendulum Records ceased operation and EMI was the sole record company for the 'monsters second album. The Boogiemonsters second album God Sound (a darker, more mature, and hardcore recording), was released in 1997. After that, appearances were sporadic on compilations and 12 inch singles. The present status of the group is unknown.

Boogiemonsters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(And I like it)
Think quick as I split
Atoms and bust critical mass through some plastic
Get hot like saliva but spit like boric acid
Ditty done run get amped off the wonder man surprise
Mercury rise, I rock off my greedy little eyes
With tongue numba one I have fun, rockin' fuller
Let me wash the aloe vera from my strands just stop blocking
The scientific method of the locking, check it
As I, shoot the ray beam from the moon
Then rebound off the lunar, get amped off the beats
And mic get tuned, check the rhythm
Into another dimension for direction
Arrange when I dissect, rearrange when I'm dissecting
The flavor, how many does it take to get to the core
Of a Boogie monster, when he rip it or he's raw
So, what ya got, jigga nigga Jugganaut
I'm strange when I rhyme
Well I'm beyond critical mass, feel the lyrical blast
Vex the vortex, man of the past
Livin' in the present, and walkin' in the future
H-two-oh's, the flow as I dilute ya
Twenty-one years now I stand as a man
Drinking from the ocean crushing mountains in my hand
The natural one, eighty-four seasons I have come
Wisdom goes to those that see the sun
God, iniquity's thicker
Any black man who draws the blood of another he's a quitter
Avoid, so go and get a stricken babysitter
A million dreadlocks throws devil in the picture
Purgatory, just to sickle all that petty talkin' deranged
Boogie monsters come in strange
[Repeat: x5]
Strange!
(And I like it)
Ha ha ha, these kids are nice
Mondo McCann, microphone man
Yodaredsee Milo, dig when his mind expand
Vex to the rhyme is never social man
Myntric funk tanker slang a banger fifty grand
With the Riders of the Storm can yes we can can
Pack a black attack to evacuate the land
The empire's falling check the New World Order
For the slaughter, run for shelter, underwater
See seventy percent of the world's underwater
Seventy percent of your body's underwater
Seventy percent of what we live is out of range
We rearrange disorder, but niggaz say we strange
A million and one things in our vocabulary are considered strange
Some are legendary, some deranged
But we be not the suck shits cause we explore untouched
Consider hip-hop a big virgin and we ah
Remember your first days of course the sex it felt strange
You blindly explored each other's emotional plane, but hey
The Boogie monsters consist of four
Experimentin' from now til forever and we score
with the Jugganauts the giants, all the way to humans
Forever buildin' hip-hop and if not nigga we're fumin' 'cause we're
[Repeat: x9]
Strange!
(And I like it)
Ha ha ha, these kids are nice
The Boogiemonsters' song "Strange" is a unique and eclectic display of lyrical prowess. The opening lines set the tone for the remainder of the song as the rapper showcases his ability to manipulate words with rap wordplay. The use of scientific metaphors coupled with complex rhymes creates an intriguing and thought-provoking message in the song.
The lyrics express a strong and obvious fascination with all things strange. The rapper does not shy away from being different or peculiar, instead, he embraces his uniqueness and revels in it. He encourages the audience to do the same by highlighting the "strange" things that make us who we are.
The song's energy is high, and the delivery of the lyrics is clearly intentional. All three rappers (Mondo McCann, Yodaredsee Milo, and Myntric) work together seamlessly, each bringing a unique sound to the performance. The song's message is universal in that it encourages everyone to embrace their individuality and to be proud of the things that make them unique.

The old way of doing things is no longer working, and we need a new system
For the slaughter, run for shelter, underwater
In times of violence and chaos, we need to find safety and security, even if it means going underwater

Most of the planet is covered in water, which means we have a lot to explore and learn from it

But we be not the suck shits cause we explore untouched
We are not terrible artists because we push boundaries and explore uncharted territory
Consider hip-hop a big virgin and we ah
We see hip-hop as an untapped resource that we can use to create something new
Remember your first days of course the sex it felt strange
Just like any new experience, our first time making music felt strange but exciting
You blindly explored each other's emotional plane, but hey
In the beginning, we experimented and took risks without fully knowing what we were doing
The Boogie monsters consist of four
Our group is made up of four talented and diverse artists
Experimentin' from now til forever and we score
We will continue to push boundaries and experiment with our music to achieve success
with the Jugganauts the giants, all the way to humans
We seek to collaborate with influential and talented individuals in the music industry, whether they are famous or not
Forever buildin' hip-hop and if not nigga we're fumin' cause we're
We are devoted to creating and advancing hip-hop music, and if our efforts are not successful, it will make us very angry
Ha ha ha, these kids are nice
We are proud of the quality and impact of our music
