Sean Price - "Shut The Fuck Up"

There are so many reasons why I love this track. Here are a few:

-Sean Price, one of the best rhymers still alive and doing it from his generation. Most kids of my era would shit themselves trying to battle, or talk this guy.

-Reference to Computer Love by Zapp and Rob. I Love that song!

-The Phrase "Shut the Fuck Up", one of my favorite phrases in the English Language, is the title and chorus to the track! That's twice the awesomeness!

-Now, This one is a Double Hitter: The use of the Islamic Language more than once within a two minute period, the second time during the Mike Tyson audio clip used at the end. It took me about 20 times of playing this song over and over to put this together though. The very first thing he says is in Islamic, which parallels to the last thing being said by Tyson. I'm no expert on the language or culture, but ill do a little research and see if I can find anything out. If anyone can tell me what he says at the very beginning send me an email, I'd much appreciate it!

Reflection Eternal - "Just Begun" Feat. J Cole, Jay Electronica, Mos Def

Some of my favorite musicians. Ever. J Cole must have been pissing his pants during this recording session.

That Kind of Day.

We sent out the S.O.S. call.
It was a quarter past four, in the morning
When the storm broke our second anchor line.
Four months at sea. Four months of calm seas {only}
To be pounded in the shallows off the tip of Montauk Point.

They call 'em rogues. They travel fast and alone.
One hundred foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong.
What they call love is a risk,
'Cause you will always get hit
Out of nowhere by some wave
And end up on your own.

The hole in the hull defied the crew's attempts,
To bail us out.
And flooded the engines and radio,
And half buried bow.

Your tongue is a rudder.
It steers the whole ship.
Sends your words past your lips
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
But the wrong words will strand you.
Come off course while you sleep.
Sweep your boat out to sea
Or dashed to bits on the reef.

The vessel groans
The ocean pressures its frame.
To the port I see the lighthouse
Through the sleet and the rain.
And I wish for one more day to give my
Love and repay debts.
But the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west.

They say that the captain stays fast with the ship,
Through still and storm,
But this ain't the Dakota,
And the water's so cold,
{We} won't have to fight for long.

(This is the end.)
This story's old but it goes on and on until we disappear,
(This is the calm.)
Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed while you were underneath,
(We are the risen.)
I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea,
(After the storm.)
I spoke the words but never gave a thought of what they all could mean,
(Rest in the sea.)
I know that this is what you want, a funeral keeps both of us apart.
(Washed up on the beach.)
You know that you are not alone, I need you like water in my lungs.

Drake Feat. Saukrates - "The Search"

  
Wow, a Drake track I thoroughly enjoy! It's been a minute, and on this track Canadian rapper Saukrates spits a few hot bars, instead of sang'in like he did on the Red&Meth track "Ayo."

And on some real shit, I respect him more after listening to this song. About 5 bars in he speaks on his beginnings in the game, where he did tracks with Little Brother, Elzhi, and others in the "underground" scene. Not many people in the mainstream game give respect to the people who helped them on the come up.

For example, Kanye doing tracks with LB, giving shoutouts during the track, only them as "Those guys from Little Brother" once he blew up.
