It's been a little quiet around here lately! But somewhat paradoxically not because I haven't been making stuff, but because I've been making so much stuff simultaneously that none of it is quite ready yet... So have a remaster in the meantime!
This track is a personal favourite of mine from the early days of the channel. As my first foray into 'angry businessperson monologues to music' content, a genre and niche I seem to have created for myself, it has always held a special place in my heart. And as I have many of my older songs remastered to bring them in line with the audio processing standards required for a physical music release (more news on that soon!) you can bet this was one of the tracks on the list for a coat of varnish!
As ever, it's a remaster, not a remake, just a subtle tidy up of the original; better mixing, some tuning and timing touch ups! The original isn't going anywhere if you prefer it. I know these remasters always split the room between 'This is great!' and 'This is exactly the same!' so I hope as many of you as possible enjoy this fresh revamp of a bit of Stupendi-History!
A huge thanks to my Patrons for making all the cool stuff I'm working on that I can't share yet possible as well as to all of you for sticking with me for this quiet spot! It's rare I go this long without an upload! Neath! really took it out of me so recovering from that project, travelling to the US to perform in July, working with the Streamys AND working on several other big projects for the channel has kept me from my more predictable 'sort of monthly but not quite' upload schedule! Would you believe I have TWO fully filmed music videos in post production right now AND two more in pre-production about to be filmed?
And a massive thanks to the wonderful @NinethieMusic for the original 'Fallout faction rap challenge' he set all those years ago that inspired this track in the first place!

Reminder that this banger was originally produced as a response video in a "New Vegas faction rap challenge" and was so incredibly high quality that nobody ever really tried to respond to it.

This is genuinely one of my favorite songs that you've ever released so I was incredibly stoked to see it given the remaster treatment. I love all the little improvements, it sounds SO GOOD

"Was dropping bombs your chosen option, did you vote for screams?" Is one of my favorite lines in a song

âOnly dust to judge your sinsâ is such a raw line

These remasters are really showcasing the development you have had as an artist.
The harmonization, the clarity in the lyrics, just good examples of you perfecting your craft, and I applaud the efforts!
Keep up the awesome music. <3

"You blunder in and wonder if a bunch of chips can run the Strip?" is such a masterfully crafted line. It encapsulates how everyone else at the table fails to realise it's his casino, and it doesn't matter how much they win or which games they play, the House always wins. Simultaneously, the line reflects the self-assuredness of characters like Benny and the Omertas, their short-sightedness and poorly crafted plans. So much conveyed in such a short line. Bravo!

"Peace is just a product with a focus test of billions
And the test was unsuccessful so we altered its description"
Now that's a line that would fit perfectly in House's cameo in the 2024 Fallout series.

I just noticed the double meaning in "Ask my buddy Andrew Ryan", as the voice actors of Andrew Ryan and Robert Edwin House were actually really good friends in real life (Armin Shimerman played Quark and Rene Auberjonois played Odo in Deep Space 9). I have no idea if that was on purpose, but it's still great.

"Oh no - A society trapped in a snow globe?
No surprises, the Rapture's a no-snow"
I just love this moment in song, it's give vibe

"A grip of iron never tires, a head of ire lead and wires
Neo veins and ancient spyres
Pump the cap and I respire"
This lyrics have being inside my soul since my first listen all those years ago, some things can truly live forever

Genuinely got angry at the second verse
"Honestly? Was the world you wanted what you got to see? When you were dropping crosses into boxes behind polling screens? Was dropping bombs your chosen option? Did you vote for screams?"
Indredible lyrics all the way through, touching.

Haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but I love how in the chorus he slowly transitions "The House Always Wins" to "House Always Wins" very subtle, but I love it

Five years later and this song still is amazing. As are all of stupes songs. Can we all agree on this?

The sinister, confident way this is delivered is still impeccable.
The chorus hits so much harder in this remaster. The harmonies are absolutely delicious.

Who's here after the fallout tv Show?

You know, I always figured the line
"I ensure that every bandit standing here has just one arm"
was Mr. House talking about how his land is free of crooks and thieves and that all who have tried had failed and been killed horribly (like losing an arm)
but I realize now that he's (also) saying that while there are no human bandits, there are still very much bandits in the form of his gambling devices and slot machines, thus, bandits with one arm
this song still is one of my favorites, grim and gripping all the way through
well done

My former partner works for a casino; I won't say which one, but for the most part, House is absolutely just like any other casino CEO: ruthless, ambitious, clever, and well-equipped to resolve his problems without lifting his own fingers. You've really outdone yourself on this remaster.

I always loved The House Always Wins' more sedate style, but this remaster has absolutely BLOWN ME AWAY! It's amazing how much you've grown as an artist over the years. Also congrats on the performance at the Streamy Awards and the recent video with MatPat! I'm so happy that you're finally getting the recognition you've always deserved

The fact that I've never fully played this game, and yet you paint a story so vivid that even I understand it, is magnificent.

LYRICS: VERSE 1: Welcome to The Lucky 38, glad you could make the trip The crowning jewel in the oasis of the Vegas Strip I'm Robert Edwin House, the founder of this place of rest A haven for the wayward, that's to say, if you can pay the rent Understand that if you try to stop my plans you'll come to harm I ensure that every bandit standing here has just one arm I eschewed the grandeur, built a land for all that's free from smarm But show your hand, I'll flush you out straight down to the farm You blunder in and wonder if a bunch of chips can run the strip? A hundred twits with guns and clips have tried their luck and lost the bet I funded it - I'm one with it So watch your lip or run the risk 'Cause if you're here to plunder it You might just end up under it CHORUS: You can hit them, you can fold them Stack the deck and weight the dice All that glitters isn't golden Cash that cheque you'll pay the price Might be safer in the desert Only dust to judge your sins But those who wager aren't so clever 'Cause in heaven Well, the House always wins House always wins House always wins House always wins VERSE 2: You want to see the profits of democracy? Then go and see 'em Across the street, a bunch of freaks are playing Colosseum Honestly? Was the world you wanted what you got to see? When you were dropping crosses into boxes behind polling screens? Was dropping bombs your chosen option? Did you vote for screams? Was the apocalypse your politician's policy? Did you put stock in their prepostering and prophesy? A shining future built on squabble-free equality? That every day you'd get your plate of steak and collard greens? The human race was capable of anything but wanton greed? But now that world is gone and what lived on belongs to me That freedom you so wanted's now the cost of living comfortably Peace is just a product with a focus test of billions And the test was unsuccessful so we altered it's description "Your safety now provided by the guys at RobCo Services!" For one ongoing price of your unwavering subservience Impressed? I raised the stakes, returned this land to vibrance Witness as I raise estates from mud and random violence Business is the way to stay the bloody hand of tyrants Convinced yet? Sail and ask my buddy Andrew Ryan A grip of iron never tires Head of ire, lead and wires Neon veins in ancient spires Pump the caps and I respire The economy is ash, I didn't light the fire But I can always turn a profit sweeping up the pyre CHORUS: You can hit them, you can fold them Stack the deck and weight the dice All that glitters isn't golden Cash that cheque you'll pay the price Might be safer in the desert Only dust to judge your sins But those who wager aren't so clever 'Cause in heaven Well, the House always wins House always wins House always wins House always wins VERSE 3: I saw the path, I preempted those ascending arms My gilded heart beats forever on to mend the scars I built an ark out of empty spas and trendy bars Mended the families Befriended with the NCR I raised the wasteland from a band of little fight clubs I handle situations delicately - White Gloves I'm the Chairman of the board taxing on your survival Out to murder competition then sit back and hike the price up BRIDGE: Oh no - A society trapped in a snow globe? No surprises, the Rapture's a no-show Undeniably tragic, there's no hope The Mojave is savage, it's no home Until I came to manage the whole show Took the glitz and the glamor and showboats Built a bastion for man for my 'folio And officially branded it RobCo VERSE 4: With just a pair of dice I came and tamed these earthly wastes I built a paradise, you might as well desert your faith Long ago when we aimed armageddon at those pearly gates I used that molten gold to rebuild heaven at The 38 CHORUS: You can hit them, you can fold them Stack the deck and weight the dice All that glitters isn't golden Cash that cheque you'll pay the price Might be safer in the desert Only dust to judge your sins But those who wager aren't so clever 'Cause in heaven Well, the House always wins House always wins House always wins House always wins
