Kanye West and Rainn Wilson Rap Battle
I know nothing about Kanye West but just watching this I like him. Anyone willing to have a laugh and say 'I never win...' is always good in my books. I'm sure he'll sleep tight now.
(even if i'm not serious)

Soul Coughing - Screenwriter's Blues
Exits to freeways
wisted like knots on
the fingers
jewels cleaving
skin between
breasts.
Your Cadillac breathes
four hundred horses
over blue lines
you are going
to Reseda
to make love
to a model
from Ohio
whose real name
you don't
know
you spin
like the cadillac was
overturning down a
cliff on television
and the radio is on
and the radioman is speaking
and the radioman says
women were a curse
so men built Paramount
studios
and men built Columbia
studios
and men built
Los Angeles
it is 5 am
and you are listening
to Los Angeles
And the radioman says
it is a beautiful night out there!
And the radioman says
Rock and Roll lives!
And the radioman says
it is a beautiful night out there
in Los Angeles
you live
in Los Angeles
and you are going to
Reseda; we are all
in some way or
another going to
Reseda someday
to die
and the radioman
laughs because
the radioman fucks
a model too
Gone savage
for teenagers with
automatic weapons and
boundless love
gone savage for
teenagers who are
aesthetically pleasing
in other words
fly
Los Angeles beckons
the teenagers
to come to her
on buses;
Los Angeles loves
love
it is 5 am
and you are listening
to Los Angeles
I am going to
Los Angeles
to built a screenplay about
lovers who
murder each
other
I am going to
Los Angeles
to see my own
name on a
screen, five feet
long and luminous
as the radioman says
it is 5 am
and the sun has charred
the other side of
the world and come
back to us
and painted the smoke
over our heads
an imperial violet
it is 5 am
and you are listening
to Los Angeles.
You are listening.
You are listening.
You are listening.
You are listening.
For any Arrested Development fans out there. If you're not yet one then you must simply be a terrorist.
And almost finally, a fucking classic. Says it all. New World Order.
Minstry - New World Order
all the locals hide their tears of regret
open fire cos i love you to death
sky high, with a heartache of stone
you'll never see me cos i'm always alone
how to love without a trace of dissent
i'll buy the torture cos you pay for the rent
tied high with a broken command
you're all alone to the promised land
i'm in love with this malicious intent
you've been taken but you don't know it yet
what you will know must never live to be found
cos it's the subject of the eyes of the drowned.
The song was originally written about vietnam but this version was released for the latest population control exercise. No doubt some poor fuckers in 30 years will be releasing it again to an apothetic audience.
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Mother, mother,
There's too many of you crying,
Brother, brother, brother,
There's far too many of you dying,
You know we've got to find a way,
To bring some loving here today
Father, father,
We don't need to escalate,
You see, war is not the answer,
For only love can conquer hate,
You know we've got to find a way,
To bring some loving here today
Picket lines and picket signs,
Don't punish me with brutality,
Talk to me, so you can see,
Oh, what's going on,
What's going on,
Yeah, what's going on,
Ah, what's going on,
In the mean time,
Right on, baby,
Right on, Right on
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong,
Oh, but who are they to judge us?,
Simply because our hair is long,
Oh, you know we've got to find a way,
To bring some understanding here today, Oh
Picket lines and picket signs,
Don't punish me with brutality,
Talk to me,
So you can see,
What's going on,
Yeah, what's going on,
Tell me what's going on,
I'll tell you what's going on,
Right on baby, Right on baby.
A Perfect Circle - The Noose
So glad to see you well, overcome them
Completely silent now
With heaven's help
You've cast your demons out
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're plannin' to go about makin' your amends
To the dead
To the dead
Recall the deeds as if they're all
Someone else's
Atrocious stories
Now you stand reborn
Before us all
So glad to see you well
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're plannin' to go about makin' your amends
To the dead
To the dead
With your halo slippin' down
Your halo slippin'
Your halo slippin' down
Your halo slippin' down
Your halo slippin' down
(I'm more than just a little curious
How you're plannin' to go about makin' your amends)
[repeated]
Your halo slippin' down
Your halo's slippin' down to choke you now
a day late and a few dollars short with this one. i love cynical 'in character' tracks. i'm betting the same people who didn't realise dennis leary was taking the piss with 'asshole' won't get this either. i guess the saddest thing is that the sentiment shared in this track is one held by so many people.
NIN - Capital G
i pushed a button and elected him to office and a
he pushed a button and it dropped a bomb
you pushed a button and could watch it on the television
those motherfuckers didn't last too long ha ha
i'm sick of hearing bout the haves and the have nots
have some personal accountability
the biggest problem with the way that we've been doing things is
the more we let you have the less that i'll be keeping for me
well i used to stand for something
now i'm on my hands and knees
traded in my god for this one
he signs his name with a capital G
don't give a shit about the temperature in guatemala
don't really see what all the fuss is about
ain't gonna worry bout no future generations and a
i'm sure somebody's gonna figure it out
don't try to tell me how some power can corrupt a person
you haven't had enough to know what it's like
you're only angry cause you wish you were in my position
now nod your head because you know that i'm right - all right!
well i used to stand for something
but forgot what that could be
there's a lot of me inside you
maybe you're afraid to see
well i used to stand for something
now i'm on my hands and knees
traded in my god for this one
he signs his name with a capital G
