介绍: Mobb Deep是由来自纽约的两位天才绕舌手Havoc和Prodigy于1992年组建的以硬核说唱为主的绕舌二人组.两人在上高中时相识,1992年组队投身于绕舌事业,次年首张专辑Juvenile Hell发行,内容主要表现了贫穷,毒品交易以及帮派暴力,他们通过绕舌这一形式来表达了他们对这些事情的看法。这张专辑对当时的东海岸说唱乐产生了一些冲击,更让大家很惊奇的是,这张专辑的创作者竟然是两位未成年人。尽管这张专辑没有受到很大关注,但是仍然展示了两位少年绕舌手的实力。随后两人和Loud唱片签约,投身于新专辑的制作,1995年他们的第二张专辑,也是他们的成名之作The Infamous发行。这张专辑成为东海岸硬核说唱的代表专辑之一。
他们的歌我觉得失去了往日的霸气,同样,这首"Illuminati"因为没有霸气可言,会有点懒洋洋的感觉,但是值得一听的就是它的旋律仍是很不错的。
歌词:
[talking: Fan] Ohh, yo, ohh shit man, what up dunn? Yo where've you been at man? Yo we need you man You gotta put out that knowledge Kick that street knowledge G Please man, you got that drugs I need my fix of that dope C'mon man, please man, you got it man, c'mon man
[Prodigy:] Now the latest gun drive, jelly beans GMT peyote, I know you feel me P's song is a natural tripping me My rhymes is so vivid, you start to see things Way different, America's fiend I was fast asleep, but now I'm wide awake I was under the spell of Kangol and reserved notes Religion and fashion, I used to be flashy 'Til I had a total recall, forgot what I've already knew It took me 33 years for me to see the truth Ever so clear I was too young I couldn't articulate myself the right way son But now let me break it down, pass it all around This is not a theory, lift the spirits, see his spirit They wanna put me in a straightjacket in a padded room And tell the world there's 12 monkeys so they can be confused
[Chorus: x2] Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body Secret Society trying to keep their eye on me But I'm a stay incogni' in places they can't find me Make my moves strategically
[Prodigy:] They say life is like Chess But fuck that I'm tired of playing games with you kids Ain't no time for playing, check the rhymes it's insane I write it for the streets, for the hood inspiration Inspire every party to map where it's poverty I started with a Mobb but now I got an army With soldiers and troopers The TV and the radio scared the death of us So we hit the YouTube up Now I got millions of views Now watch how many rappers follow what P do Now I'm too hoody to conform to the program I'm too much of a rebel for me to try to fit in Nigga! It don't matter on the color of your skin Right now you either positive or you negative I got friends in high places, multiple races And coaches on my side, all you got is paper
[Chorus x2] [Fades to Raekwon the Chef talking] |
