There is absolutely no logical reason why me, a 50-something year old #hiphop head, should love this rap song by a group of Irish preteens as much as I do.
I forgot how much I loved this whole album. A song from it came up on my radio today so of course I’m just listening to the whole album on repeat again.
Was trying to find a song for my playlist in Gujarati but YouTube Music's search feature is, um, kinda random. Returned among other things the wonderful song Ya Sudahlah by Bondan Prakoso & Fade2Black
always sounds to me like so much of 90s West Coast #HipHop tracks its sound and aesthetic to Roy Ayers. e.g., Dr Dre only sampled this track once, for a Detox track, but I can't help suspecting he took much more from it for his sound.
the "my life, my life, my life" tag was true Cali staple, used by Tupac, Ice Cube, Mc Eiht ("my life, my life, my life, with a tech nine").
