Deltron 3030 is an alternative hip-hop supergroup that features Deltron Zero (Del tha Funkee Homosapien), the Cantankerous Captain Aptos (producer/remixer Dan "The Automator" Nakamura) and Skiznod The Boy Wonder (turntablist Kid Koala).Much like Nakamura's previous conceptual projects, Dr. Octagon and Handsome Boy Modeling School, Deltron 3030's self-titled album and single sends the hip-hop triumvirate into the year 3030, where — as the sole survivors of earth — they travel through the galaxy.Both the Self-Titled Album and single were released in 2000 on 75 Ark Records. An album of instrumentals from the album followed a year later.Deltron 3030 is also known for two of its members (Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and Dan "The Automator" Nakamura) later working with Damon Albarn to form Gorillaz.A sequel to Deltron 3030, called Deltron Event II, was in Development Hell for eight years, until on August 13th, 2013, they released a three-song EP City Rising From The Ashes (which you can listen to on the official Youtube channel here. Deltron Event II was finally released in September 2013, also featuring Zack De La Rocha, The Lonely Island, Damon Albarn, Mike Patton, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Chef David Chang among many other interesting choices. Also, they're bringing a 16-piece orchestra with them on tour.

Abnormal Ammo: Deltron Zero's rhymes themselves are able to do damage, plus he uses all kinds of happy fun guns (and a few other weapons… what exactly IS a "cranial disruption siphon" anyway?) in "Battlesong".

Pay Evil unto Evil: definitely going on in "Virus" (and, actually, showing why it doesn’t work—according to this song, Deltron Zero and his super-hacking BROKE THE WORLD.)

 Deltron 3030 (Music) / int_47e0dd3b
comment
Cool People Rebel Against Authority: Deltron Zero pretty much spends all his time either rebelling against authority or writing rebellious raps. We hear this especially in "Virus". (And yet, he’s oddly compliant in "Battlesong" when he was trying to get into the battle for free… maybe because the person handing out the battle forms was just doing their job.) This is even Lampshaded in "Love Story":

Socially Awkward Hero: Deltron Zero was able to take out three adversaries each in only one verse—oh, but when it comes to talking to some random chick in "Love Story"? HELL NO, gotta break out the Flirtbot 3000 for that one, eh Del?

Time Skip: Event 2, as established in "The Return," takes place in 3040 (and skips again at the end to 4010). Deltron and Automator haven't been seen in years — an intentional reference to the album's long stay in Development Hell?

Boastful Rap: Deltron Zero actually brags more about Automator in "Mastermind". "3030" also counts as a Boastful Rap for both Deltron AND Automator, and "Positive Contact" is Deltron Zero’s bragging song. Deltron also brags about his 1337 hax0r skillz in "Virus".

Sanity Slippage Song: Zig-zagged in the appropriately-named "Madness". It starts off pretty normal, but descends pretty quickly as Deltron talks about how shitty their world is. The chorus itself may count as a Madness Mantra. However, the last lines of the second verse suggest an aversion:

How the Mighty Have Fallen: Arguably, this happens in "Love Story": Deltron Zero goes from winning the "Rhyme Federation Championship" in "Battlesong" to getting FIRED... Although, when he started working for said "Rhyme Federation" is never really explained.

Evil Is Hammy: It isn’t quite clear whether the evil people in "Virus", "Turbulence" and/or "Battlesong" are the actual voices or Deltron Zero doing an over-the-top impression of them—but either way, there is evil, and ham ensues.
