Morshu's Ultimatum

Sorry for the long wait, I started this ages ago and thought I'd finally finish it before I go to university.

Thank you for being patient. I'm afraid this could be the last video for a while, because I'll be at university. Thank you for all the nice comments on my videos, it's been really great.

I love how this wasn't even an ultimatum video, it was just Morshu dropping bars

I think that Morshu's ultimatum is very clear from this piece. In an echo of Morshu's Paradise, Morshu sings about his dilemma: should he profit from war and misery by selling arms to Link, or live an ethical life of poverty? While we know that Morshu's profiteering eventually helps free the people of Coridai, there's no way that he can really know how Link will use the bombs, rope and lamp oil he sells ("used for good or bad, I can't tell"). At best, Morshu can only trust in his own judgement of character, and nobody else's ("the system's fine as long as I head it"). We cannot count Morshu as without fault though. By his own admission he's blinded by greed ("gotta make money and never look back"), and while he attempts to justify it with a rags-to-riches story ("I got dealt a bad hand..."), it ultimately rings hollow ("rubies [...] they are my life"). Morshu stays up at night, and while he'd have us believe that his fears are purely business ("To have good sleep is a rarity [...] If I dip into the red I'll pack up"), it's clear that his true fear is in selling arms to the wrong person ("I need a customer to count on").

Has Morshu truly become a monster? This is the tale of the Coridai Cretin.

Love how this isn't the usual grinch's ultimatum copy-paste, but an actual ultimatum of morshu opening up and explaining how hard his life is

I wasn't expecting a rap when I saw the thumbnail.
Also, as always, a reminder:
He has two fucking lines.

[tiky_]

When the world needed him the most, he returned.

[parkourse]

Holy fuck.

The lines "It's nice to be rich, but at the end of the day, as long as you have enough it's ok." goes unbelievably hard.

Well done once again.

[inexspectatussomnium]

Never imagined you could make a song cover for Grinch's Ultimatum song. Well done, this slaps hard af.

[jacobpapp]

This is unironically one of the greatest Morshu parodies combined with the grinchs ultimatum and the fact that it actually flows so fucking well woth the beat is a true feat of YouTube editing. This is the type of work that would have distinguished you as a master in Renaissance era

[dingalong]

Holy shit, the lyricism on display is sublime. This is better than most non-YTP rap I've heard.

[cactusguy]

I like to imagine at the beginning Morshu is pleading with a customer "Come back! Come back!" then catches himself and flips it into "Come back when you're a little..."

[echo]

“I’ve got dealt a bad hand but it’s not a bad pack” is just such a good line

[JM-clpl]

“Don’t lecture me on scripture- I’ve read it. ’To loan is to lose.’ Quote me, I’ve said it.”
Easily the best line within this work. Morshu is aware of the apparent immorality within his work, as he’s read these scriptures, which is presumably referring to philosophical, or even religious text. However, although he agrees with the premise of the ethics, he finds himself disdaining those who subscribe to it, as he finds they misunderstand his situation and his moral code. He doesn’t hate those who cannot pay upfront, he just knows that, if he gives credit, he will inevitably fall. He believes that this is an important nuance which needs to be understood, and should be added on top of the base scriptures.

"The systems fine as long as I head it" sounds like it's cut dialogue it's so smooth. Great work man!

[PizzaBagels]

Using “richer” to sentence mix “scripture” is both hilarious and genius

[NatWatGamer]

How have I not found this earlier! This is amazing!

I absolutely love this. It’s nice that ya returned, even if it was for naught but a moment, but it was not for nothing. A light in the distance waits for ya my mate.

[junebuggy]

And that was the tale of the stout storekeeper
