Respiration (RMX)



이 곡에서 Pete Rock 의 IDEA 가 눈물을 흘리게 하는 흔적이 몇개 있죠? 뭘까요?
굳이 소스를 알려 하지 않아도 되고, 아주 익숙한 핏의 킷 쵸이스의 무난함을 알던 모르던 캐취가 되는 부분이 아닐까 생각됩니다.
Respiration 은 Original 을 솔직히 더 아주 많이 좋아하고 감상하게 되지만, 이 리믹스는 꼭 듣게만 되는 무엇이 있죠...
하여간 잘 만들었음.

Welcome!! Kweli!! Kanye. Who R U?

트랙백 원문 : In The Mood Feat. Roy Ayers (Prod. Kanye West).


Talib Kweli - In The Mood (Feat. Roy Ayers)
Prod. By Kanye West - From 'Ear Drum (Advanced Edit)'


Still Dreamin' 도 그랬고, 이 트랙도 그랬고, 상당히 깔끔하게 된 틀을 보여주고 있다. 무엇보다 드럼의 운용에 있어서도 그의 다른 그 어떤 트랙보다 설득이 크단 생각. Roy Ayers 가 선사한 Vibe 의 반짝 반짝 거림이 고스란히 Kweli 의 혓놀음과 어우러지게 하고 있단 생각. 단편을 쥐어내서 그걸로 모드 가져가는 걸로 재미를 좀 보고 있는 Kanye 와 절대적인 신뢰를 회복할 정도까지는 아니더라도 어느정도 자신의 혓발이 춤을 출 앨범을 설득력 있게 만들어 준 Talib 반가운 트랙이다.


The Friends of Distinction - Lonesome Mood.

이 트랙까지 해서 Kanye 란 인사의 새앨범에 대해 기대를 가져보기도 했지만, 신보는 정말 구렸다. 은연 중에 Kanye 의 Fake 스러움에 놀아난 것인가 생각 될 지경. 아니 아니 이건 좀 억지고, 롤모델에 대한 생각과 의문, 호기심도 아직 제대로 갖춰 지지 않은 아이가 이거 저거 손데보고 뜯어 보고 따라해보며 포물선 이빠이 그려내며 빝트 찍어내는 중, 벌때 벌어야 하는 목적으로 갱신해 나가는 솔로 커리어 밖에 안된다 생각. 하지만 Rap 에 있어서는 전작에서 느꼈던 그 '캬캬'하게 하는 센스란게 확실히 더 잘 다듬어내어 내뱉고 있는 것 같다. - 하지만 Ear Drum 의 정식 발매반 내 In The Mood 에서의 Kanye 의 랩이란 건 Kweli 에 의해 재조차 남겨지지 않고 죄다 타버리고 마는 초라함을 자랑한다. 불쌍한 새퀴 -

그냥 다음에 솔로 앨범은 외부 인사 초빙해서 비트 만들고 - 본작에도 드럼에 있어선 적잖이 자문과 도움을 구한 듯 - 해서 MC Kanye West 로 커가길..아님...뭔가 한가지 더, 한단계 더 해내야 해. 아직도 멀었어.

Who is The Talib Kweli ?




Manifesto, this is what we want to see happen
for my peoples still breakin graf writin and rappin
I rock the mic right and exact my life's my sacrifice
Take my mic and I'm like a Chinese man with no rice
Oh yeah we flippin through the pages of time, to find design
Like Vaseline on the faces of Black Georgia, we shinin
Deeper than petroleum jelly, we in the air like conversations
on celly and just appear like stretch marks on bellies
after givin birth you had to let go, you playin for life
The Manifesto,
here comes the beat because I said so keep pushin
I got the cushion for the seat of your soul
Back in the day they stole our smile, so we clothe our teeth in gold
and we frontin, from nigga to kid, to Son of God
It's wild dependin on labels for man woman and child
My style just is, all that's seen and all that's heard
God gave us music so we play with our words
So when Tek be in constant meditation like a monk
while Kweli speaks in tongues to get your intellect drunk
yo we bound to take over the 90% of your brain that you ain't usin
To us it's life or death we keep you chosin

Every shook eye ain't seen, every goodbye ain't gone
Ain't no rest for the weary yo forever it's on
The Manifesto, establishes a hip-hop order
Movin upon the face of the water, like Reflections

Aiyyo all the real MC's can meet me outside
So we can decide how we gonna change the tide
like the moon we on the Earth takin a ride around the Sun
Now Son we only just begun, and the journey's far from done
We all miss you, what your brain gone fishin like Walter Mosley?
There's an MC that can hold me, supposedly?
No one could come close to me, only, the family really know me
Hip-Hop's last hope like Obi Wan Kenobi
Through your tunnel vision I'm shinin light like a train
Comin out like earthworms when it rains, bringin it
like the C.I.A. be bringin in crack cocaine bailin out of planes
with the George Bush connections, I push Reflection
like I'm sellin izm, like a dealer buildin the system
Supply and the demand it's all capitalism
Niggaz don't sell crack cause they like to see blacks smoke
Niggaz sell crack cause they broke, my battle lyrics
get concious minds provoked and ghetto passes revoked
cause we surrounded by the evil,
you know that the people's minds
is feeble they believe in it, even if it don't make sense
This makin dollars shit, don't take a scholar to
see what's goin on around you, either you widdit or you ain't
is what it comes down to, have you forgotten?
We pickin 100% designer name brand cotton
They still plottin, my Third Eye is steady watchin

Every shook eye ain't seen, every goodbye ain't gone
Ain't no rest for the weary yo forever it's on
The Manifesto, establishes a hip-hop order
Movin upon the face of the water, like Reflections

(Yeah see that's what I'm talkin about, it be the slaughter man
We need to break it down because these heads
they don't know what they talkin about
Frontin all this nonsense, yo break it down)

From open mics to solutions I got a collage of answers
and a ten point program, just like the Black Panthers
One: First respect yourself as an artist
If you don't respect yourself then your rhymes is garbage
Two: Make sure your crew is as tight as you
cause when them niggaz fallin off they gonna bring you down too
Three: Understand the meaning of MC
The power to Move the Crowd like Moses split the seas
Four: Know your shit and don't ever be blunted
If you don't know what your words mean
then your rhymes mean nothin
Five: Kick facts in the raps, and curse with clarity
What's a curse when language is immersed in vulgarity
Six: We gonna fix industrial poli-tricks
Shit they made an artform out of ridin dicks
Seven: We soldiers for God needin new recruits
So if you rhymin for the loot then youse a prostitute
but Eight: Acknowledge that you need food on your plate
In order to say your grace make sure your business is straight
Nine: We buildin black minds with intelligence
and when you freestyle, keep the subject matter relevant
Ten: Every MC grab a pen
and write some concious lyrics to tell the children
I'll say it again, every MC find you a pen
And drop some concious shit for our children
The Manifesto!

- Lyrics from "The Manifesto"
