This first one here, is titled ‘Autahi’ which means 'I myself', literally 'the lone one'. And Autahi is actually the name of a star also, the Greeks or somebody call it Canopus. I guess, yeah, that's their name for rap metal it. Our name for that star is Autahi, because it's rap metal the lone one, it's sort of fallen out of [a star pattern of a waka (canoe)] rap metal ... I don't mean to get into all this star stuff anyway, so let's not worry about it. Actually I should say I have three names too, Dean Hapeta, was my name that I was given at birth by my parents. And once I started doing [rap], we formed a rap group, I sort of took on D Word, because I'm the lead rapper and I write the words, so D Word. But now that I have got deeper into Maaori stuff, I Maaori-fied that D Word into Te Kupu, which means literally 'the word'. So that's me: Dean Hapeta, D Word or Te Kupu, which ever you want, I'm good. Anyway this is 'Autahi': Ko toku whakapapa Hip Hop tenei started from the hoohaa-ness of the way it is Bored by the Baldhead shit cause I ain't one He Maaori ahau but I's gots roots in Europe too Told ya'll on Hardcore where I'm from anyway catch up The Message, Planet Rock ya know, and at primary
