Track of the Day: Captain Murphy ~ Shake Weight

9:09 AM PDT on August 16, 2012

Beat by TNGHT. Who is Captain Murphy?

From Pretty Much Amazing:

Who is Captain Murphy? Earlier this week he popped up on a brand new Flying Lotus track with Earl Sweatshirt and today, FlyLo points us to another (great) track with no answers.

The Madvillainy indebted (or perhaps parodying?) “Mighty Morphin Foreskin” has just bred more theories, some stranger than others. Our favorite ones are the ones that speculate Captain Murphy is a pitch-shifted Tyler The Creator, Earl Sweatshirt and Flying Lotus rapping simultaneously. That would be awesome.
