As a Black man who grew up listening to Malcom X....when I heard this in the final boss I was shook.....Sonic Rush has one of the greatest ost in Gaming history
@@nemi9217 No, the game's composer, Hideki Naganuma sampled popular music and sounds from the times into a funky style. It's digitized and no one's singing. It's just the illusion of singing
Trivia about the "too black, too strong" sample: Hideki Naganuma has stated he intended it to be about coffee. The original source actually came from a Malcolm X speech, which was talking about Black people... using coffee as an analogy. The full line is "It's just like when you have some coffee thats too black, so its too strong. What do you do? You integrate it with cream". (Refering to how the whites were messing with their rights to make blacks weaker)
I always loved the use of the words "too strong" in this song. It feels like the game itself is telling you that the boss is too strong, but you don't care, because you got Sonic and Blaze on your side.
But it's also cause earlier before the boss fight itself, we saw both Eggman's taking the soul emeralds energy to power up the Egg Salamander, the "too strong" part is making reference that this isn't your regular Mech, given it has the powers of the Soul emeralds it stole, it's capable of actually harming the super forms and making them loose rings, hence something that is "too strong" against the super forms.
I would like to add that the violin / fiddle sample that can be heard (at 1:17 as an example) during the song can also be heard in the soundtrack of the Sega Saturn game "Grandia", in the track "Snow Town Raynu" by Noriyuki Iwadare. Probably, the sample is from a pack that both musicians appreciated.
Thanks for linking my video! Pretty sure the OP's comment inspired me but I forgot to post the link in the replies here. Now the regular song doesn't sound right to me though :(
The more you listen to it the more you realize that the vocals aren't the only thing sampled, like 90% of the instruments in the ost are just loops from Hideki's sample collection. I'm pretty sure you can literally hear sample demo clicks in ethno circus.
@@theextremeanimator4721 My question exactly? It just doesn't fit with the final boss of this Sonic game or ANY Sonic game, for that matter. They should've just used that track for one of the bosses that ISN'T the final boss.
I think this song is a metaphor for how neither Sonic or Blaze can defeat the Eggmen alone. They must team up in order to save both of their worlds. This song is also a metaphor for Blaze breaking out of her social shell and accepting her new friends.
@Starrycat144 I was mindblown because Steve Urkel is one of my favorite characters from that show and I didn't know the guy who plays him voiced Sonic until a few months ago.
If I remember right the person who did rush also did Jet Set Radio, and they left Sega, but I guess you still could make this type of music with a different composer
RescueRex70 the composer’s name is Hideki Naganuma. He did leave Sega, but while he was there he made tracks for JSR, JSRF, Sonic Rush, Sega Rally (I think), and Ollie King. There might be some more but I don’t remember. He’s still making music for new games like Hover: Revolt of Gamers and Lethal League Blaze.
People already know about the Malcolm X quote, but I only just learned (via WhoSampled) that this also samples the Watts Prophets' "Rappin' Black" (the parts where it sounds like it's saying 'Wrapped in Black' are actually saying 'rappin' black'). Naganuma really did mine quite a bit for this song, didn't he?
This is me trying to create a sonic oc, the design is to bland , or the character is to strong, so i try to keep is medium, if you know what im saying.
This was one of the most beautifully dramatic game levels I ever played as a kid, and yet I still can't get over how goofy that trumpet that comes in on the buildup is
SEGA: Ok bois now I need the final music for the Rush game, what idea do you guys have? Dimps: Ok so let's use Malcom X quotes to make a remix SEGA: w a t Sonic Team: *perfect*
I'm just realizing that the purple and blue background on the key art is representing the dual screens. Think of it as a Nintendo DS standing on its side, like a book. It's pretty abstract, but I'm sure it's intentional.
"With this power I shall destroy all N-Word Passes. Now no one will be able to say the N-Word, not even black people! I will reign supreme upon this world, as the only one who can say the N-Word!"
As someone black its amazing at the number of people that think they used a small one line quote from Malcom X and that they did it cause of who he was. I 100% guarantee they had no idea who he was or what he stood for thankfully and was most likely taken from a sample kit that a lot of companies and music makers do. Games like Einhander and Jet Set have done this as well.
This being a black power analogy is incredible like legitimately UGH ITS SO GOOD because it gives the song a completely different meaning and like damn thats art!!!!!!!!
I like how there are some people coming back to listen to these amazing soundtracks in 2020. I, myself, have never played the Sonic Rush games, but I did look at the gameplays on UA-cam, and it looks fun. It got me thinking how cool it would be if they remastered Sonic Rush for the Switch Lite. I would definitely want to play it (once I get a Switch LOL). Update 2021: I got a Switch! ✌️😎 And still no Sonic Rush remaster... WELP there's always next year (and maybe the soundtrack on Spotify, too, please lol)! Hope everyone's year has been good! Look forward to what's to come, and no matter what happens, even if you don't believe it, you will get through it! See y'all next year! Much Love and many Blessings!
@BrTrueV I'll definitely keep that in mind, thank you! Also Sonic Colors DS looks really fun and has SILVER, so I agree with you LOL I grew up on the Wii version which I still love, but I'd love to play the DS version one day!
Aww, please, I would love that! ^^ Sonic Rush was my first-ever Sonic game, and it's super nostalgic, I would absolutely LOVE a rerelease/port or a remake!
i really dig this final boss theme. its not as intense or rock n' roll-istic. like the doomsday or open your heart for example. it has a bit more "calm" tone yet still has an sense of urgency on it that makes it different from the rest. i love it

Thank you Malcom X, for giving a speech for your voice to be used in this song.
This isn't directly from Malcom X's speech, but rather his depiction in the Spike Lee film of the same name.
The sample was most definitely from the Spike Lee film, but it was a line in one of his speeches. The line also happened to refer to coffee.

This song is apparently a lot more deep than I thought it was as a kid
this song while working out is such an heavenly experience.
can't get over the fact there's a sonic song with clips from a Malcom X speech
“It’s like when you got coffee that is too black…which mean it’s too strong”
Malcom X
Eggman Nega Theme
I like how there are some people coming back to listen to these amazing soundtracks in 2020. I, myself, have never played the Sonic Rush games, but I did look at the gameplays on UA-cam, and it looks fun.
It got me thinking how cool it would be if they remastered Sonic Rush for the Switch Lite. I would definitely want to play it (once I get a Switch LOL).
Update 2021: I got a Switch! ✌️😎 And still no Sonic Rush remaster... WELP there's always next year (and maybe the soundtrack on Spotify, too, please lol)! Hope everyone's year has been good! Look forward to what's to come, and no matter what happens, even if you don't believe it, you will get through it! See y'all next year! Much Love and many Blessings!
It’s really worth playing, and if the game was on switch the music wouldn’t be crap quality anymore
YES!!! A remake is such a good idea, I can just imagine them remixing this song for it.
@BrTrueV I'll definitely keep that in mind, thank you! Also Sonic Colors DS looks really fun and has SILVER, so I agree with you LOL
I grew up on the Wii version which I still love, but I'd love to play the DS version one day!
@@WhimsicalMay emulate it! most modern computers these days can run a DS emulator like cake. Sega doesnt make money off the game anymore anyways
Aww, please, I would love that! ^^ Sonic Rush was my first-ever Sonic game, and it's super nostalgic, I would absolutely LOVE a rerelease/port or a remake!
No one would ever know that Malcolm X would be sampled as a sonic song
i really dig this final boss theme.
its not as intense or rock n' roll-istic. like the doomsday or open your heart for example.
it has a bit more "calm" tone yet still has an sense of urgency on it that makes it different from the rest.
i love it
The W is so big, it’s wrapped in black
Too black, too strong, too black, too strong
Too black, too strong, too strong, too strong
Too black, too strong, too black, too strong
Too black, too strong, too strong, too strong
(Choir: Obstruuuuuct)
Wrapped in black, in black, in black, wrapped in black (wrapped in black)
Wrapped in black, in black, in black, wrapped in black (wrapped in black)
Wrapped in black, in black, in black, wrapped in black (wrapped in black)
Wrapped in black, in black, in black, wrapped in black (wrapped in black)
Too black (wrapped in black), too strong (wrapped in black)
Too black (wrapped in black), too strong (wrapped in black)
Too black (wrapped in black), too strong (wrapped in black)
Too black (wrapped in black), too strong (wrapped in black)
(Choir: Obstruuuuuct)
Too black (wrapped in black), too strong (wrapped in black)
Too black (wrapped in black), too strong (wrapped in black)
Too black, too strong, too black, too strong
Too black, too strong, too strong, too strong
Too black, too black, too black, too black
Too black, black, black, black
Too-too-too-too-too-too-too
Wrapped in black, in black, in black, wrapped in black (wrapped in black)
Wrapped in black, in black, in black, wrapped in black (wrapped in black)
Wrapped in black, in black, in black, wrapped in black (wrapped in black)
(wrapped in black) Wrapped in black, (wrapped in black) wrapped in black
(wrapped in black, in black, in black, wrapped in black) Wrapped in black
Wrapped in black (wrapped in black), wrapped in black (wrapped in black)
Wrapped in black, in black, in black, wrapped in black (wrapped in black)
Too strong, too black, too strong, too black
Too strong, too black, too black, too black
Too strong, too black, too strong, too black
Too strong, too black, too black, too black

why does it sound like "Too Plain"? my brain is probably just being stupid.
Wait the choir says obstruct? Literally all my life I thought they said monster
I didnt know the choir actually said something
This song makes me feel strong

Darkskin

Maybe too strong?
