It was hard to pick an Eminem song. Rap God is meticulously great rapping and I also love the rhymes of Without Me, but I’m not going to belt out the other F word while singing along. Martika’s chorus on Like Toy Soldiers is lovely but I’m not super into songs about drama with other singers. I dig Higher and I like how each verse gets progressively more complex, fitting the theme of the song.
Ultimately, going with the most popular song. I love how Eminem will take words or phrases that aren’t perfect rhymes but he makes them work with his inflection.
But I kept rhymin’ and stepped right in the nextcypher Best believe somebody’s payin’ the Pied Piper All the pain inside amplified by the Fact that I can’t get by with my nine to Five and I can’t provide the right type of Life for my family ’cause man, these goddamn food stamps don’t buy diapers And its no movie, there’s no Mekhi Phifer
The only perfect rhyme there is “cypher” and “Phifer.”
I might be the only person who finds this version of the song to be their favorite. And I’ll listen to it any time of year.
Alecia Elliott released her first album in 2000 at the age 17 and her second one at age 37. I owned the first one and bought it for “I’m Diggin’ It.” Love her voice but the material on the first album was mostly shit. It tried to capture the pop-crossover appeal of Shania Twain but, yeah, it didn’t work.
I don’t particularly like Bob Dylan’s voice or his musical stylings. I like covers of his songs better, especially Blowin’ in the Wind. But for some reason I really like Tangled Up in Blue.
A lot of people hate The Doors and I get it. The lyrics for the most part are utter drug-fueled nonsense. But I really like Morrison’s voice and Manzarek’s keyboarding. I’m a sucker for needlessly long rock anthems and Light My Fire fits the bill.
I don’t know if Charlie Mack ever had to bust any heads, but he’s not a big fan of it. His two brothers were murdered on the street. He has done a ton of charity work, organized anti-violence fundraisers and has helped hundreds of thousands of people in Philadelphia.
But I like the folk hero here. Plus references to Rocky IV and Maaco!
