Ok I was going to content myself with a trio of of rapping hits
Rapping Silver Cloud Blues
Rapping In My Sleep
Rap Among The Ruins
pretty tame stuff so I a'googled for rap hits and found a site giving the lyrics (if you can call them that)
of the top 20 rap songs of 2003 amongst which I found
the lyrics to Read My Mind by Avant which contains these relevant gems
I can read your mind, babe (Oh)
My truck is parked out front, so let’s ride
So baby, take a ride with me
It’s alright (With me, yeah, yeah)
and although not directly Gord related but I liked the great literary merit of this stanza
"I know you wanna see, I know you wanna be
In my B-E-D grindin’ slowly"
there was also
Artist: Jay-z
Song Title: Dirt off your shoulder lyrics
as I suspected many of the songs contain really disgusting lyrics
and one must not forget in the circumstances
Jimmy Ate World's great song "my sundown"
which has the immortal line
"Good goodbye tin sunshine."
and hey on the Jewish album you forgot Wailing Walls
and i noted from
the official list of the most requested Hip Hop and Rap hits of all time
number one is tada tada
1. Baby Got Back - Sir Mix-A-Lot
and I liked
18. Take It To da House - Trick Daddy
and
26. Summertime - DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince
that's it folks
John Fowles
What a super topic this turned into!!!
As Char is fond of saying it really cracks me up
