Greatest Rap Lyrics - Part 1
Craig Mack's Flava in Ya Ear was one of those songs that just electrified the world. You listened to it, you couldn't believe it, you didn't know the title or the rapper but all you knew was you had to hear it again, and again. I think this is one of the last hiphop songs that had that effect on me although it's difficult to recall which may have been the absolute last.

Craig Mack
1000 degrees
You'll be on your knees
and you'll be burnin', beggin' please
Brother FREEZE! {BOY!...}
Man's indisputed
and deep-booted
funk smoke that leaves your brains booted
This bad M.C.
with stamina like Bruce Jenner
the winner
Tasting M.C.'s for dinner
You're crazy like that glue {...you're crazy, boy, You're crazy.}
to think that you
could out-do
my one-two
that's sick like the flu {...shake 'em down, Mack}
BOY, I flip
BOY all the time, 'cause
BOY, the rhyme you're kickin' {HAAAAAAAAA! BOY!...}
ain't worth a dime
Seems like there's no competition
in this rap world expedition
You come around,
I'll knock you out [of] position {... knock 'em out!}
No flav
could ever dig a grave
for the Mack
the power pack
in black
makin' cement crack {...make it crack...}

Every rap fan on the planet knows this rhythm now, but there is no way to rap this without having heard Craig Mack do it. This is the second stanza and it is nothing like the first or the third. It's just completely unique. The 'stamina like Bruce Jenner' moves at a completely different pace than 'youre crazy like that glue'. The phrasing can't even be called classic, it simply hasn't been duplicated. Now there is one possible exception to that which is 'Shake Ya Ass'  which also works in stanzas with refrains each stanza with unique phrasings. That too was massive breakout single, unique in every way.

Making a rap like this is extraordinarily complicated. It's something I think George Clinton thought he was doing on several occasions, breaking walls of beats per line with compression, or letting it go over into the next measure. Failed completely.

Not enough can be said about the complimentary responses {in braces} that the second voice adds to the rap. As far as I know, only Flavor Flav has done this consistently in his world-rocking duets with Chuck D, but this unknown rapper behind Craig Mack is a serious partner in making 'Flava in Ya Ear' one of the great lyrical triumphs of all time."

Ia! ShubNiggurath! Loose the nukes!!!

"My point is that if you were to hear Moore's comments again, why don't you suggest something like: "Moore, it is the support of the locals that matters and this is precisely a major point that the military is meant to carry out, as well as the purely military operations. You must be referring to the nation-building part of the military intervention - thanks for highlighting this point of the US army.*"

Because that's not what he said.

Heads Up... from Michael Moore

Friends,

I have never seen a head so far up a Presidential ass (pardon my Falluja) than the one I saw last night at the "news conference" given by George W. Bush. He's still talking about finding "weapons of mass destruction" -- this time on Saddam's "turkey farm." Turkey indeed. Clearly the White House believes there are enough idiots in the 17 swing states who will buy this. I think they are in for a rude awakening.

I've been holed up for weeks in the editing room finishing my film ("Fahrenheit 911"). That's why you haven't heard from me lately. But after last night's Lyndon Johnson impersonation from the East Room -- essentially promising to send even more troops into the Iraq sinkhole -- I had to write you all a note.

First, can we stop the Orwellian language and start using the proper names for things? Those are not �contractors� in Iraq. They are not there to fix a roof or to pour concrete in a driveway. They are MERCENARIES and SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE. They are there for the money, and the money is very good if you live long enough to spend it.

Halliburton is not a "company" doing business in Iraq. It is a WAR PROFITEER, bilking millions from the pockets of average Americans. In past wars they would have been arrested -- or worse.

The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not "insurgents" or "terrorists" or "The Enemy." They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. Get it, Mr. Bush? You closed down a friggin' weekly newspaper, you great giver of freedom and democracy! Then all hell broke loose. The paper only had 10,000 readers! Why are you smirking?

One year after we wiped the face of the Saddam statue with our American flag before yanking him down, it is now too dangerous for a single media person to go to that square in Baghdad and file a report on the wonderful one-year anniversary celebration. Of course, there is no celebration, and those brave blow-dried "embeds" can't even leave the safety of the fort in downtown Baghdad. They never actually SEE what is taking place across Iraq (most of the pictures we see on TV are shot by Arab media and some Europeans). When you watch a report "from Iraq" what you are getting is the press release handed out by the U.S. occupation force and repeated to you as "news."

I currently have two cameramen/reporters doing work for me in Iraq for my movie (unbeknownst to the Army). They are talking to soldiers and gathering the true sentiment about what is really going on. They Fed Ex the footage back to me each week. That's right, Fed Ex. Who said we haven't brought freedom to Iraq! The funniest story my guys tell me is how when they fly into Baghdad, they don't have to show a passport or go through immigration. Why not? Because they have not traveled from a foreign country -- they're coming from America TO America, a place that is ours, a new American territory called Iraq.

There is a lot of talk amongst Bush's opponents that we should turn this war over to the United Nations. Why should the other countries of this world, countries who tried to talk us out of this folly, now have to clean up our mess? I oppose the U.N. or anyone else risking the lives of their citizens to extract us from our debacle. I'm sorry, but the majority of Americans supported this war once it began and, sadly, that majority must now sacrifice their children until enough blood has been let that maybe -- just maybe -- God and the Iraqi people will forgive us in the end.

Until then, enjoy the "pacification" of Falluja, the "containment" of Sadr City, and the next Tet Offensive � oops, I mean, "terrorist attack by a small group of Baathist loyalists" (Hahaha! I love writing those words, Baathist loyalists, it makes me sound so Peter Jennings!) -- followed by a "news conference" where we will be told that we must "stay the course" because we are "winning the hearts and minds of the people."

I'll write again soon. Don't despair. Remember, the American people are not that stupid. Sure, we can be frightened into a war, but we always come around sooner or later -- and the one way this is NOT like Vietnam is that it hasn't taken the public four long years to figure out they were lied to.

Now if Bush would just quit speaking in public and giving me more free material for my movie, I can get back to work and get it done. I've got four weeks left 'til completion.

Yours,

Michael Moore"

When the Democrat party puts moore on the stage for its convention, it becomes hard to argue they aren't on the same page.

* Bad reviews because it shows how "needlessly divisive" our politics has become.  Cheer, libs, I will accept your surrender, you can unify behind me!  What's that?  You still think you're right and I'm wrong? Then shaddap about "division", cause you're it.

Except there's a kind of liberal who wants to AVOID CONFRONTATION, which is different.   Who don't say "Iraq can be liberated without violence" but instead "It's not worth it and it would be over as soon as we give up."

And sure you can believe in socialized medicine and not be a total pacifist noob.

Iran is an example of that.  We have conflict with Iran becasue they hate our guts and kill our friends.  Yeah, sure, we can take a knee to them and "solve the problem"--if the problem is "bad relations with Iran".  If the problem is "Iran is a pack of maddog jerks"  then we only sustained the problem by negotiating.

BTW Michael Moore's view on Iraq wasn't that Iraqi democracy could be achieved without war.  He said we're gonna lose to street thugs because they were the side of righteousness and courage.  "They are the Minutemen--and they will WIN"

No she was in a scene satirizing Hollywood support for propaganda politics in the Reisenthal mode

>> I heard someone on the radio talk how important it is to still get along with each other, who happened to be a Bush-and-Reagan-supporter. <<

Fine.  All we disagree about is "Who gets to make the decisions?"

Oh, so take that line trying to portray Paris Hilton as a Nazi supporter? Dude, what teh f. She is no spin-master. <<

That WAS Paris Hilton.  We checked the credits.

>>That would just make another cultural war within the States. Small-town against Hollywood. Do you really want it? After the confrontations with the science, confrontation with the free speech and confrontation between states where some are red and others are blue.  <<

Actually the strength of constitutional democracy over other social systems is democracy recognizes confrontation and dispute are part of the human condition and limits the effects of losing an argument.
