Kanye West feat. Syleena Johnson - All Falls Down (Live)

Condivido con voi questa canzone che da sempre mi fa sognare. Di seguito il testo, enjoy it!

[Chorus: x2]

Oh when it all, it all falls down

I'm telling you oh, it all falls down

Oh when it all, it all falls down

I'm telling you oh, it all falls down

Man I promise, she's so self conscious

She has no idea what she's doing in college

That major that she majored in don't make no money

But she won't drop out, her parents will look at her funny

Now, tell me that ain't insecure

The concept of school seems so secure

Sophomore three years aint picked a career

She like **** it, I'll just stay down here and do hair

Cause that's enough money to buy her a few pairs of new Airs

Cause her baby daddy don't really care

She's so precious with the peer pressure

Couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter Alexus [a Lexus]

She had hair so long that it looked like weave

Then she cut it all off now she look like Eve

And she be dealing with some issues that you can't believe

Single black female addicted to retail and well

[Chorus]

Man I promise, I'm so self conscious

That's why you always see me with at least one of my watches

Rollies and Pasha's done drove me crazy

I can't even pronounce nothing, pass that versace!

Then I spent 400 bucks on this

Just to be like ***** you ain't up on this!

And I can't even go to the grocery store

Without some ones thats clean and a shirt with a team

It seems we living the american dream

But the people highest up got the lowest self esteem

The prettiest people do the ugliest things

For the road to riches and diamond rings

We shine because they hate us, floss cause they degrade us

We trying to buy back our 40 acres

And for that paper, look how low we a'stoop

Even if you in a Benz, you still a ***** in a coop/coupe

[Chorus]

I say **** the police, that's how I treat em

We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom

We'll buy a lot of clothes when we don't really need em

Things we buy to cover up what's inside

Cause they make us hate ourself and love they wealth

That's why shortys hollering "where the ballas' at?"

Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack

And a white man get paid off of all of that

But I ain't even goin' act holier than thou

Cause **** it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou

Before I had a house and I'd do it again

Cause I wanna be on 106 and Park pushing a Benz

I wanna act ballerific like it's all terrific

I got a couple past due bills, I won't get specific

I got a problem with spending before I get it

We all self conscious I'm just the first to admit it

[Chorus]

ShunGu X Groovisionary - Interview

Louis ShunGu is a belgium beatmaker based in Bruxelles, we met him a couple of months ago and we instantly appreciate his style on the beats: he's part of the incredible number of good producer that we follow on Soundcloud, and release after release, beat after beat we listened to him and started to think about an interview.

Luca Barcellona aka Lord Bean X Groovisionary - Intervista

Foto di Sha Ribeiro Luca Barcellona. Lord Bean. Bean One. Bugs Kubrick . Tanti nomi che raggruppano un solo talento, un'artista polivalente. Abile mc ed abilissimo writer, con il tempo Luca ha sviluppato uno stile unico in entrambe le arti appena citate: mi ha sempre impressionato ed appassionato per la lucidità e la formula con la quale sceglie di comunicare i propri pensieri e le proprie idee, in maniera non solo non convenzionale ma anche molto efficace ed originale. Sia su muro - e tutte le altre superfici sulle quali lavora - che al microfono, ha sempre dato il meglio di sé, tentando strade inesplorate e restando sempre genuino e senza filtri. Al microfono, sotto gli pseudonimi di Lord Bean/Bugs Kubrick ha realizzato due lavori totali ed alcune collaborazioni con i migliori esponenti della penisola: il demo Lord Bean , pubblicato nel 1999, è il primo lavoro ufficiale e contiene tracce storiche come "Gli occhi della strada" , "Sotto i bombardamenti" e ...

Rubrica Settimanale - Back to the Origins: Le gang nel Bronx

L'appuntamento con al rubrica settimanale "Back to the origins" è dedicato a "Le gang nel Bronx" . Check it! In questo articolo ho scelto di parlare delle gang che caratterizzarono la storia del Bronx , vista la forte influenza che questa fase ebbe in seguito sulla cultura Hip Hop, sui messaggi e sui sentimenti che portarono alla creazione di questo movimento . La storia delle gang è breve , ma molto dura e violenta : orientativamente dal 1968 al 1973 il Bronx, famoso distretto di New York, fu invaso da questo fenomeno, definito da u.net (nel suo libro "Renegades of funk" ) come: "L'avanguardia dell'anarchia che avrebbe dominato l'area del Bronx negli anni a venire" . Solo il termine anarchia è così efficace da poter riassumere le azioni e le conseguenze delle guerriglie tra le gang: ognuna di queste era identificata in base al colore delle giacche e delle toppe cucitevi sopra , ognuna "possedeva" un proprio terri...
