![]() ![]() Everything was so timed and well-executed without any language. There are no words in it, obviously, but they were just hooked on the visuals. ![]() "I showed my kids The Gold Rush, and they loved it. ![]() Those guys were the best storytellers ever, and it goes across generations," Coffin said. “When you look at the history of films, they start out as being totally mute with actors like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. First, in order to help him visualize how these characters would physicalize their language, he looked to his heroes in the silent film era for guidance. “You don’t understand their words, you don’t understand their grammar, but you do understand when they’re in a position of conflict, if they’re sad or if they’re happy,” Coffin said in the production notes. The fact that they inadvertently topple every master they serve, up until Gru, explains why their language is so rich and varied-they are always on the move again after putting an end to the regime of whatever tyrannical master they had chosen. With this history spelled out, Coffin could then plunge into developing the unique vocalizations and intonations that differentiate Kevin, Stuart and Bob, as well as flesh out Minionese. The etymology of Minionese includes the basics of ancient Egyptian (they worked for the Pharaoh), a dash of high-society French (they backed Napoleon), some proper Transylvanian (from their time serving Count Dracula), all the way back to the grunts and grrrs of early Homo sapiens. The Minions have been around for a long, long time, and, as a nomadic tribe in search of their next master, have absorbed bits of many languages as they've traversed the globe. Language Stew - Why Minionese is Made up of Several Languages First, however, he needed to ground Minionese in it's own personal history, and that was achieved by realizing the Minions have been around a lot longer than we have. ![]() While the creation of Minionese makes narrative sense now that the Minions have a rich backstory (more on that in a bit), Coffin's goal was for the audience to understand Minionese without actually knowing the exact verbiage through the Minions huge range of vocal melodies and inflections, as well as their physical actions. So what, exactly, is Minionese? It's the lexical version of a hearty stew, made up of words from multiple languages, expressed not only vocally, but through the Minions' physical comedy. They communicate through their Buster Keaton-level physical comedy and a language called Minionese. They're all voiced by the same man, director Pierre Coffin, creator of their language. They're on a mission to find a new master (this is a prequel to Despicable Meand Despicable Me 2, so they haven't met Gru yet), a mission they've been on, it turns out, for centuries. Yeat samples the Minions from the movie throughout the song, as they repeat: "Ha (Huh?), hey Mel, la bastichi/ La papaya, du la potato (Yeah, la potato, oh, yeah)".In Universal Pictures' Minions, the three lead Minions are Kevin, the “big brother,” protector and leader, Stuart, the rebellious “middle brother,” and Bob, the innocent, eager “little brother” who loves everyone and everything. In the chorus, Yeat references how much he got paid to write and record a song for the movie: "I made a song for the Minions / How much they pay me? A million". I'm sure at no point did anyone ever expect Lyrical Lemonade to collaborate with the Minions, but here we are! Not only did Lyrical Lemonade founder Cole Bennett direct the trailer for the new Minions movie, but he also convinced them to have Yeat create the soundtrack to it! This is one of the most exciting moments in my time at Lyrical, this is an amazing moment and I hope that we all can take a minute to appreciate it. Most of our fans know that we don't do collaborations often, but when we do, it's usually something that makes a memorable moment. Receiving accompanying visuals, it is a fun and comedic song that sees Yeat lightheartedly rap about what happens in the film.Ībout the song and its creation, Elliot Montanez on behalf of Lyrical Lemonade said: The song was featured in the trailer of the 2022 film, Minions: The Rise of Gru made by Lyrical Lemonade, but was released as a standalone single rather than as part of the soundtrack album. " Rich Minion" is a song written and performed by American rapper Yeat, released through Back Lot Music, Field Trip Recordings, Listen To The Kids, Geffen Records, and Interscope Records on Jas a single. ![]()
