i don't know why, but...
Sometimes I like the most hard-hitting sonic blasts with the most graphically violent lyrics that are just so unreal, or is that surreal. But my pulse simply jumps whenever I hear songs like these. For instance, my latest throb is Bone Crusher f/Killer Mike & T.I.'s "Never Scared." Here are the lyrics and if you haven't heard it you can check it out on Arista's site. Though this one is a lil' old now, in hip-hop terms anyway, I also really get all amped and hyped when I hear Jay-Z feat. M.O.P.'s "U Don't Know (Remix)." The lyrics and then, the song. Scary, right? I know this is harmful yo. It's not positive. But it is entertaining. And not everyone can discern reality from fiction.
And while most of you who come here think that all I listen to is hip-hop, I'd like to introduce you to a minute sampling of joints that are currently rotating in my iPod:
Spacek - Vintage Hi Tech site
Peven Everett - Studio Confessions site
Buju Banton - Friends For Life site
Jazzhole - Circle Of The Sun site
Massive Attack - 100th Window site

I've found myself bouncing to "Never Scared" as well. It IS pretty frightening considering that I dont really get into the "non positive" hip hop nowadays. Your blog is pretty cool.

Jigga's rhymes are just ridiculous.
This stanza is why he's still tops on the lyricist list -
"One million, two million, three million, four
And the money's really worthless, I'm pissing you off on purpose
My nephew's situated, and my mama's straight
So I'm ready for whatever drama should come our way
And you fuckers rappin to me, so your drama is fake
Ya'll niggas is noodles, I got more fetti to bake"
come on...you can't mess with that.
And Hardcore shit is what can get you just amped. It's good driving music.
