-cough- Ice cube is racist -cough- Wait no...He's REALLY RACIST

"Black Korea"

[blends into intro with dialogue from Spike Lee's _Do the Right Thing_]

"Twenty D Energizers."
"Twenty, C Energizer?"
"D, not C, D."
"B Energizer?"
"D mother****er, D! Learn to speak english first, alright? D!"
"How many you say?"
"Twenty, mother****er, twenty."
"Honey..."
"Mother-**** you!"

[Ice Cube]
Everytime I wanna go get a ****in brew
I gotta go down to the store with the two
oriental one-penny countin mother****ers
that make a ***** made enough to cause a little ruckus
Thinkin every brother in the world's out to take
So they watch every damn move that I make
They hope I don't pull out a gat and try to rob
they funky little store, but *****, I got a job
("Look you little Chinese mother****er
I ain't tryin to steal none of yo' ****, leave me alone!"
"Mother-**** you!")
Yo yo, check it out
So don't follow me, up and down your market
Or your little chop suey ass'll be a target
of the nationwide boycott
Juice with the people, that's what the boy got
So pay respect to the black fist
or we'll burn your store, right down to a crisp
And then we'll see ya!
Cause you can't turn the ghetto - into Black Korea

"I do **** you!"
-------------------------------------------------

His justification:
"’Black Korea’ is my observation on the situation of how some Korean businesses treat black customers,"
"Black people don’t really have a media they can rely on, so when we have these viewpoints we want to get across, we have to put them on these rap records… I put it into a rap form so kids can understand what’s going on, ‘cause I don’t know a lot of kids who watch the news."

I love how he through the word kids in there for his explanation. Because this is setting a good role model for them to follow up to when they grow up. "Respect the black fist or we'll burn your store, right down to a crisp." Isn't it this kind of behavior that brings negative impact towards black people in the first place?
 
^Wait...So I can't comprehend his message if I don't live in the ghetto? It's not like the ghetto is some sort of a secret society and rappers are talking in some sort of code to them so only they understand the lyrics.

Yes Ice Cube might be a great rapper, but being a great rapper doesn't make your song and lyrics great or less hurtful. People can easily argue that Hitler was a brilliant strategist, but doesn't make his actions "great". Same goes for ice cube, theres a difference between talent and skill and how you use them. I'm Korean, so I strongly take offense. If rappers like Ice Cube are trying to encourage kids to get out of the hood, why is he putting such negative aspects and a word to act in their raps?
 
Ice Cube wrote that song when he was a thug. Have you seen him nowadays? He makes Disney movies which is kind of sad to me :( I liked the Ice Cube who yelled "It's Ice Cube *****!" in songs. He's from Compton, California and it's not a friendly city. I'm from the 5th most violent city in the U.S for 2008 and you can't just get offended by a song around here.
 
Actually Ice Cube wrote it after he came into stardom, since this was after his first rap group. Being a thug isn't an excuse, personally I think thugs are sad. There are countless people that proved that you can make it out of violent cities and ghettos to become bright successful people. Yes, I can get offended because this speaks directly at my race. I'm sure black people would be offended too if popular artists released songs that diminish and generalize their race in a negative aspect. Also I'm angry because I go through racism everyday, seeing that I live in a part of town dominated by snobby racist white kids who call everything ghetto if it fails to function the way they want it to be. If a little kid is told something is bad or not right, they grow up thinking that and thinking it is true. The same goes for this song.

Styles will change
They say change is dange-eras (dangerous)
As a king standing on the terrace
While his partner pointing up at the rifleman
Cowards shoot and never know when your life will end
Then... live like there ain't no 'morrow
And if one come then this the motto
Now I put message in bottle
You go to the nearest beach and open your car door
And you walk to the place where the sea meets the land
Yeah it's easier to run the street than walk in the sand
Hey I'm talking young man
As if chalk in my hand
I will take yo' little ass to school
It's cool
When the kids call me sonny, the hood calls me stacks
The bees call me honey, Hollywood calls me back
Crack and I have a lot in common
We both come up in the 80s and we keep that bass pumpin'
Now that's a nega-tive comparison
Embarassin'
Unfortunate that if you come up fortunate
The street considers you lame
I thought the name of the game
Was to have a better life
I guess it ain't what a shame
I don't slang, never slung
But I'm one with the slum
That has a name well fitting
Plenty cheese getting
No wonder why they called it the trap
So watch your tail
And I'm not kidding
The rats and mice would give advice
They say that you can paint and draw
Get out of here
Go show them that we're more than slangin' raw
That's when I broke into my big Rube impression
And I tried to enlighten but that night a learned a lesson
That the morals that you think you got go out the window
When all the other kids are fresh and they got new Nintendo
Wiis
And yo' child is down on her knees
Praying hard up to God for a Whopper with cheese
Do you b) Hit the street hard with a flare
Or do you a) Go for school for heating and air
Dare making an honest living
But make a crooked killing
Or do a bit of both until your holding on a million
Brilliant
You got one foot in and one foot out
You put yo' left foot back in and then you shake it all about
You do the Hokey Pokey 'til you turn your life around
That's what it's all about
3000 out

Andre 3000 > life.
 
Rrwoooaaaw!
Ahh, Ahhh
Burning now I bring you Hell!

Ahh, Ahhh
Oh, burning now I bring you Hell!

Read me tonight, when the warnings said leave a shudder upon you
Running from all that you feared in your life
Soul of the night, when the sun mislead paint a horror upon you
Marking the moment, displaying in my ghost of a life!
And I can't get round the way you left me out in the open
To leave me to die!
So how can I, forget the way you lead me through the path into Heaven
To leave me behind!

Now I can't stay behind
Save me, from wreaking my vengeance
Upon you, to killing more than I can tell
Burning now I bring you Hell!

Ahh, Ahhh
Oh, burning now I bring you Hell!

Free me tonight, lest the animal caged free a terror upon you
Caught in the moment, engaging in my
Bloodlust tonight, now I can't control my venom's flow
Get back from me demon, or be exorcised!

Now I can't stay behind
Save me, from wreaking my vengeance
Upon you, to killing more than I can tell
Burning now I bring you Hell!

All my emotion and all my integrity
All that you've taken from me
All my emotion and all my integrity
All that you've taken from me

Now I can't stay behind
Save me, from wreaking my vengeance
Upon you, to killing more than I can tell
Soul of the night, I know
Now I can't stay behind
Save me, from wreaking my vengeance
Upon you, to killing more than I can tell
Burning now I bring you Hell!

Bankrupt on Selling by Modest Mouse

Well, all the apostles, they're sitting in swings
Saying, "I'd sell off my savior for a set of new rings
And some sandals with the style of straps
That cling best to the era"

So all of the businessers in their unlimited hell
Where they buy and they sell and they sell all their trash
To each other, but they're sick of it all
And they're bankrupt on selling

And all of the angels, they'd sell off your soul
For a set of new wings and anything gold
They remember the people they loved, their old friends
And I've seen through them all, seen through them all
And seen through most everything

All the people you knew were the actors
All the people you knew were the actors

Well, I'll go to college and I'll learn some big words
And I'll talk real loud, goddamn right I'll be heard
You'll remember the guy who said all those big words
He must have learned in college

And it took a long time until I came clean with myself
I'd grown clean out of love with my lover
I still love her, loved her more when she used to be sober
And I was kinder

One of the best songs I've ever heard.
 
;D (LLL)

Since when did you like Modest Mouse, mayne?! And great first post. :) That is one hell of a song. Can't wait for the new album. <3

Another great one:

Talking **** About A Pretty Sunset by Modest Mouse

Oh, noose
Tied myself in, tied myself too tight

Looking kind of anxious in your cross-armed stance
Like a bad tempered prom queen at a homecoming dance
And I claim I'm not excited with my life anymore
So I blame this town, this job, these friends, the truth is it's myself
And I'm trying to understand myself and pinpoint who I am
When I finally get it figured out, I've changed the whole damn plan

Oh, noose
Tied myself in, tied myself too tight
Oh, noose
Tied myself in, tied myself too tight

Talking **** about a pretty sunset
Blanketing opinions that I'll probably regret soon
Changed my mind so much I can't even trust it
My mind changed me so much I can't even trust myself

I love the way he sings the lyrics too, it gives me tingles.

I've only heard a handful of songs but what I have I've liked tbh! Float On, Ocean Breathes Salty, etc.

I know! Also it took me a while to realise what you meant by 'Humbug' on my FB :p
Their new song Crying Lightening's grown on me, I look forward to the album.

You need to listen to more than the popular tunes boii (likes the past two I've posted).

Hehe, yeah, I wasn't sure if you did get it immediately or not. Same with me, I was pretty disappointed with the song at first, but after 5 or 6 listens, I've really began to like it. Sounds like they're maturing a lot.

Arctic Monkeys - Secret Door

Fools on parade cavort and carry on
For waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she’s never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares

She swam out of tonight’s phantasm
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
There’s absolutely nothing for us here
It’s a magnolia celebration
To be attempted on a Wednesday night
It’s better than to get a reputation
As a miserable little tyke
At least that’s the conclusion
She came to in this overture

The secret door swings behind us
She’s saying nothing
She’s just giggling along

Her arms were folded most indignant
Not looking like she was soon to leave
I had to squint in order to believe
And then like a butler pushing on a bookshelf
I’m unveiling the unexpected
How she was never gonna look to?
Suddenly embarrassed and corrected
How could such a creature
Survive in such a habitat

The secret door swings behind us
She’s saying nothing
She’s just giggling along
And even if they were to find us
I wouldn’t notice, I’m completely occupied

At all the fools on parade
Cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she’s never been the kind
To be hollowed by the stares
Fools on parade
Frolic and fuck about to make her gaze
Turn to a scribble on a page by a picture
That holds her options
But you’re daft to think she’d care

Fools on parade (3x)
Conduct a sing-along

GENIUS song.
