Neopage

Kayne West의 Late Registration이란 앨범에 들어있는 곡이다.
비트와 랩이 중독성 강하게 다가온다. John의 추천으로 들어봤는데
앨범 전체가 마음에 드는군. 그 중 특히 이곡이 귓가에 맴돌아서
올린다.




[Chorus: Really Doe]
You muh'fuckers better do your job and roll up, and WATCH how we roll up
An', I can't control it cain't hold it, it's so NUUUUUUTS
I take a sip of that 'gnac, I wanna FUUUUUCK
I take a hit of that chronic, it got me stuck
But really what's amazin is how I keep blazin
Towel under the door, we smoke until the day's end
Puff puff and pass, don't fuck up rotation
Hypnotiq or Henny? Nah nigga, that's a chaser
Turn nuttin to somethin, now pimpin that's a savior
Best things like green now pimpin get your paper
High off the ground from stair to skyscraper
Cool off, thinkin we local c'mon homey we major

[Kanye West]
We major? C'mon homey we major
We MAJOR?! C'mon homey we major
We major, c'mon homey we major
We major, c'mon..

Feelin better than some head on a Sunday afternoon
Better than a chick that say yes too soon
Until you have a daughter that's what I call karma
And you pray to God she don't grow breasts too soon
Projects to' up, gang signs is thrown up
Niggaz hats broke off, that's how we grow up
Why else you think shorties write rhymes just to blow up?
Get they first car and then IRS show up
He ain't never had shit, but he had that 9
Nigga come through flickin and he had that shine
Put 2 and 2 together and a little bad weather
Gon' be your whole family on that funeral line
Asked the reverend was the strip clubs cool
If my tips helped send a pretty girl through school
That's all I want, like winos want they good whiskey
I ain't in the Klan but I brought my hood with me

[Chorus]

[Nas]
We major? C'mon homey we major
We major? C'mon homey we major
We major! C'mon homey we major
We major! C'mon homey we major

I heard the beat and I ain't know what to write
First line should it be about the hoes or the ice?
Fo-fo's or Black Christ? Both flows'd be nice
Rap about big paper or the black man plight
At the studio console, asked my man to the right
What this verse sound like, should I freestyle or write?
He said, "Nas what the fans want is Illmatic still"
Looked at the pad and pen, fell, and jotted what I feel
Been like twelve years since a nigga first signed
Now I'm a free agent and I'm thinkin it's time
to build my very own Motown
Cause rappers be deprived, of executive 9 to 5's
And it hurts to see these companies be stealin the life
And I love to give my blood sweat and tears to the mic
So y'all copped the LP's and y'all fiends got dealt
I'm Jesse Jackson on the balcony when King got killed
I survived the livest niggaz around
Last longer than more than half of you clowns
Look, I used to cook before I had the game took
Either way my change came like Sam Cooke

Yeah! Yeah! Ye-yeah, ye-yeah

[Tony Williams]
Feeling better than I ever felt before today
But better late than never, it's
Orien-tation, still we can make it better
Throwin all your cares away...

[Chorus]

[Kanye] + (Nas)
We major? (C'mon homey we major)
We MAJOR?! (C'mon homey we major)
We major (C'mon homey we major)
We major...

[Tony Williams]
Feeling better than I ever felt before today
But better late than never, it's
Orien-tation, still we can make it better
Throwin all your cares away...

[music starts to fade until 5:21 in the song]

[Kanye West]
Can I talk my shit again?
Can I talk my shit again?!
I can't believe I'm back up in this muh'fucker
I'ma be late though
I gotta figure out what I'm gonna wear
Yeah... the Roc is definitely in the building
Good music's definitely in the building
I gotta say what's up to Tony Williams
On the vocals sings, he sings quite beautifully
Don't you agree? Don't you agree?
Uhh, and Jon Brion on the keys right now
And Warren Campbell on the keys right now
So they ask me - why you call it "Late Registration" 'Ye?
Cause we takin these muh'fuckers back to school
If you know this part right here, feel free to sing along

[Tony Williams] + (Kanye West)
Feeling better than I ever felt before today (If you feelin good)
But better late than never; it's orien-tation (It's orientation)
Still we can make it better
Throwin all your cares away... (We want you to get used to this)
(Uhh, they cain't do what we do baby)
(Uh-uh, uh-uh, they cain't do what we do baby)
(Uh-uh, uh-uh, they cain't do what we do baby)
(Yeah...)

They can because they think they can.

Denver를 떠나서 (정확하게는 Dever옆에 있는 Boulder) Ardmore라는 오클라호마에 있는 작은 도시로 이동해왔다. 인구 30000명정도의 작은 도시라는데... Boulder에 있을때는 Mariott 호텔에 있었는데, 여기서는 Holiday Inn을 잡아주는군... 흑 Downgrade된 느낌이다. 깨끗하긴 하지만, 카펫이 좀 칙칙하군. 인터넷도 좀 느리고... 이구. 작은 도시여서 Holiday Inn이 최고 좋은 호텔인가 보다.

Denver에서 비행기를 타고 Dallas로 가서 거기에서 Imtec Corp직원과 만나서 차로 1시간 반 타고 도착한 Ardmore. 중간에 바베큐 립을 저녁을 사줬는데, 맛있더군. 값도 저렴하고 로컬분위기 나는게 좋았다. 처음에는 Applebee 같은곳 대려 갈려다가 내가 체인 레스토랑 보다는 Local 분위기를 더 좋아한다고 하니까, 바베큐 레스토랑으로 대려가더군. Onion Ring과 립이 맛있고 분위기도 시골 바 같은게 좋았다.

내일부터는 Imtec의 Dr. Bulard와 일하게 된다. 이틀동안만 있는거지만, 굉장히 energetic한 분이라니 꽤 바쁜 일정이 될 듯하다. 아침 같이 먹으면서 회의 시작이라는데... 긴장해야 할려나...

Multiple Exposure이란 아티스트의 Jazzattack이란 곡이다.
Benz Mixed Tape 9에 들어있는 곡중에 마음에 들어서
올린다. 부드러운 리듬에 보컬이 잘 어우러져 있는것 같다.
