Life wasn't always easy for the self proclaimed "Steven King of Hip Hop". He was an only child in a single parent household and had to fend for himself most of his childhood. He always maintained a close relationship with his mother who was a drug addict for most of his young life. At the age of 9 he spent time in a pediatric mental hospital when teachers found he spent most of his time in class making disturbing drawings instead of classwork. Throughout childhood and into his teenage years the kid who would later be known as "Q Strange" was an outcast. Never getting ahead in his studies and rarely attending classes Q fell in love with the art of hip hop. Even at the age of 12 he was penning verses rather then school essays. Moving around and changing schools it was hard for him to keep friendships outside of his own family. He recorded his first demo at 14 and knew at that moment that this was what he wanted to do with his life. At the young age of 16 Q lost all he had in life and was forced to support himself when his mother passed away due to a drug overdose. Virtually homeless depending on the kindness of friends and family he bounced from place to place doing whatever he could to surivive. Q was heading down the wrong path getting arrested from charges ranging from shoplifting to felony assault before he was 18. It was at this time he hooked up with a local hip hop collective of MC's DJ's and Producers knowns as "3rd floor productions". His friendship with DJ JD would be one that would ultimately change his direction in life. Although the group was low on funds and had limited studio equipment JD acted as a mentor to Q (known as Mista Jinx at the time) and taught him the art of beatmaking and song structure. Recording with the group as well as solo projects he performed shows and ruled the battle circut until the crew dispanded around 1997. Taking a break from music and trying to struggle with the everyday stress of being broke and working hard he returned to the music scene this time with a whole new darker sound and persona. Q recorded Murder Kill in '97 and locally released a bootleg tape with a dark hip-hop sound and graphic horror subject matter that garnered a huge response from a diverse group of music fans. As word of mouth spread, some fans in the midwest dedicated a website to Q Strange introducing him to the world. In 1999 Q released another bootleg entitled "Decayed Thoughts" which was well recieved and earned him enough money to release his professional debut "Creation to ExeQtion" in 2000. The concept album which was an audio horror "movie" with each song connecting to the next telling a chilling sci-fi horror tale of a deranged serial killer developed a cult following and soon Q Strange was known all over the globe as the next big thing in the dark underworld of horrorcore. In 2003 after several deals gone bad with different record labels Q independently released his second album "Strangeland". This album brought the murderous style that his fans had come to know by now, but also balanced out with more "traditional" hip-hop songs and emotional tracks proving that there was more to Q Strange than just a gimmick. Both albums moved thousands of units with no distribution outside of mail order and consignment deals with various merchants, and was widely bootlegged all over the world. That in addition to extreme high energy live shows earned Q a huge fanbase, and got the attention of the music industry as different labels showed intrest in signing him. In late 2004 Q Strange inked a deal with Mad Insanity Records joining the ranks of underground legends such as Ganxsta NIP, Mastamind (NATAS), and Flatlinerz along with other highly respected up and comers such as Bay Area horrorcore artist and CEO Mars. Mad Insanity will re-release the first two albums with proper distribution making the discs easier for fans to find, and release a new highly anticipated album that will be sure to make waves in the music industry. Q Strange and Mad Insanity Records's vision is to make the world recognize the darkside of underground hip-hop known to its cult following as horrorcore.

Origin of Creation
Q Strange Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

See back in the 1970's it was like

I was a fetus in a jar, conceived in a lab
Raised by scientists, no mom or dad
I was the the first human clone
All throughout of my life I was all alone
Living in a room similar to a jail cell
And a government lab and it was real hell

Located deep in the South Pole
So even if I could escape, there was nowhere to go
Throughout my childhood I received no love
Just experiments from men in lab coats and rubber gloves
Sticking me and bricking me, testing my piss
I wasn't a child, just a new experiment
No exposure to the outside world
No toys, no books, no other boys and girls
I was a human guinneapig like a lab rat
Even an animal don't deserve that
The project would have been finished when I was twenty one
I was to be killed, but they had no more funds
So they had to bring me to the states
Put me on the jet and placed me in the straits
The jet took off man, I was scared as shit
I looked at the world and I thought "This is it"
This is were I wanna be, running free trough out the meadows and the trees
Because I hate the human race, they're so fucking cruel
They created me but I wish they hadn't do it
The jet was shaking, whoa we're going down
Its outta control, we're plummeting to the ground
We're losing altitude and we're going down fast
I jumped into my seat and then the plane crashed
I was okay except for a few bruises
Everyone else dead, good fucking losers
But now my dream has come true and I'm free
To take out all my aggression on humanity
And I will make them pay, for being so inhuman
And then they wonder why I'm so fucking insane

You should have killed me when you had the chance you cruel heartless pricks
Cause now... I'ma take out all this anger and aggression on every human being I see
In any abstract, sick, twisted way I see fit
Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahaha

That's my story boys and girls...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Q Strange's song Origin of Creation depict the story of a human clone who was born in a laboratory and raised by scientists without the love and care of a real family. Throughout his childhood, the only interactions with humans were experiments, tests, and observations. His life was likened to that of a rat in a laboratory, being prodded and poked with no chance of escape. Being the first human clone, he was a complete experiment and no one knew what his future held until he was eventually meant to be killed once he reached twenty-one. However, this did not happen as the project was cancelled due to lack of funds so he was brought to the United States where he was involved in a plane crash upon arrival, leaving him as the sole survivor.

The clone's anger, aggression, and insanity arise from his past experiences of inhumane treatment, and he seeks to take it all out on humanity. It is a story of how science and technology can advance to new heights without being able to cater to the basic human needs of love and family. The clone's story is a tragic one and serves as a reminder of the ethical considerations that must be made in scientific advancements.

Line by Line Meaning

See back in the 1970's it was like
Let me tell you about my history, it all started in the 1970's

I was a fetus in a jar, conceived in a lab
I was an experiment, cloned in a laboratory while still in the womb

Raised by scientists, no mom or dad
I had no parents, the only ones who raised me were heartless scientists

I was the the first human clone
I was the first-ever human being to be cloned

All throughout of my life I was all alone
I lived a lonely life with no support from family or friends

Living in a room similar to a jail cell
My living quarters were like a detention cell

And a government lab and it was real hell
The laboratory was owned and run by the government, and it was a true living nightmare for me

Located deep in the South Pole
The laboratory was situated in the far south pole, away from civilization

So even if I could escape, there was nowhere to go
Even if I could break free, there was nowhere to run or hide, with no place to go

Throughout my childhood I received no love
As a child, I got no affection from anyone

Just experiments from men in lab coats and rubber gloves
People in lab coats carried out endless rounds of experiments on me for years

Sticking me and bricking me, testing my piss
I was constantly injected with all types of equipment and chemicals, and they examined my urine

I wasn't a child, just a new experiment
I was not treated as a human child, but merely something to be experimented upon

No exposure to the outside world
I had no chance of experiencing the world outside

No toys, no books, no other boys and girls
I was not given any toys, books or even the chance to meet other children

I was a human guinneapig like a lab rat
They treated me akin to an animal they experimented on, like a lab rat

Even an animal don't deserve that
No living creature, be it human or animal, should ever have to go through such a cruel life

The project would have been finished when I was twenty one
The experiment was supposed to be over, and the lab intended to kill me as soon as I turned twenty-one

I was to be killed, but they had no more funds
They ran out of money to complete the project, so they couldn't kill me just yet

So they had to bring me to the states
So they decided to take me to the United States

Put me on the jet and placed me in the straits
They brought me on board a plane, and we flew across the straits

The jet took off man, I was scared as shit
I was frightened as we took off into the air

I looked at the world and I thought "this is it"
As I gazed outside the airplane window, I took in the view of the world for the first time

This is where I wanna be, running free throughout the meadows and the trees
I wanted to escape the laboratory and live freely in the world among the animals, away from humans

Because I hate the human race, they're so fucking cruel
I hold a deep grudge against humankind, for they are the root of all of my suffering and pain

They created me but I wish they hadn't do it
While I was genetically engineered by humans, I refuse to consider myself one of them

The jet was shaking, whoa we're going down
The aircraft began trembling, and I thought we are about to crash

Its outta control, we're plummeting to the ground
The plane was out of the driver's command, freefalling towards the ground at incredible speed

We're losing altitude and we're going down fast
The plane was rapidly descending to the ground and heading towards certain destruction

I jumped into my seat and then the plane crashed
I braced myself for impact, and as a result, survived the plane explosion

I was okay except for a few bruises
While I survived, I only had a few cuts and bruises all over

Everyone else dead, good fucking losers
I was the only passenger to survive the crash, and I felt a sense of pride that those cruel scientists had died in the process

But now my dream has come true and I'm free
My dream of living freely has finally come true, as I have escaped the laboratory and the United States

To take out all my aggression on humanity
Now that I am free, I plan to take revenge on humankind for the years of testing, torture and pain that I endured

And I will make them pay, for being so inhuman
I will do whatever it takes to make humankind pay its very essence for its inhumanity to me

And then they wonder why I'm so fucking insane
People don't seem to understand why I behave the way I do, with so much anger and hatred towards humanity

You should have killed me when you had the chance, you cruel heartless pricks
I am angered by the fact that they didn't choose to kill me when they had the chance, instead leaving me to suffer and escape on my own

Cause now... I'ma take out all this anger and aggression on every human being I see
I will release all my pent-up anger and frustration on any human that I come across

In any abstract, sick, twisted way I see fit
I will attack them in any way I deem fit, even if it is sick or twisted

Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahaha
I laugh out loud as it all starts to become clear in my head how I will execute my revenge

That's my story boys and girls...
That is my tragic story of how I became a monster, and before you start to judge me, think about what you would do in my position.
