• insani hem eglendiren hem üzünlendiren türden pek güzel the roots sarkisi. bildigim kadariyla, home recordingle filan ugrasan cody chestnut isimli bir kimseyle beraber calisilmistir sarkida.
  • sadece hip-hop denemeyecek kadar güzel, soul, rnb, funk etmenleri içeren çalışma. bünyesinde kontrbas kullanılması bile farkını ortaya koyuyor. kızımın adını rock'n roll koyucam!*
  • pek funky bir şarkıdır kendileri. e tabi sözleri olmadan olmaz..

    knocked up nine months ago
    and what she's fittin' to have she don't know
    she wants neo soul cause hip hop is old
    she don't want no rock'n roll
    she want platinum, ice and gold
    she want a whole lot of somethin' to fold
    if you're an obstacle she'll just drop you cold
    cause one monkey don't stop the show
    little mary's bad
    in these streets she done ran
    e'ry since when the heat began
    i told the girl look here
    calm down i'm gonna hold your hand
    to enable you to keep the plan
    because you'se quick to learn
    and we can make money to burn
    if you allow me the latest game
    i don't ask for much but enough to room to spread my wings
    and a world fittin to know my name, just listen to me

    (cody chesnutt)
    i don't ask for much these days
    and i don't bitch and whine if i don't get my way
    i only wanna fertilize another behind my lover's back
    i sit and watch it grow roots standin where i'm at
    fertilize another behind my lover's back
    and i'm keepin my secrets mine
    i push my seed in her bush for life
    it's gonna work because i'm pushin it right
    if mary dropped my baby girl tonight
    i would name her rock n roll

    (black thought)
    cadillac need space to roam
    where we headed for? she don't know
    we in the city where the pros shake, rattle, and roll
    and i'm a god dang rollin stone
    i don't beg, i can hold my own
    i don't break, i can hold the chrome
    and it's weighin a ton, and i'm a son of a gun
    my code name is the only one
    and black thought is bad
    the mean streets he done ran
    e'r since when the game began
    i never played the fool
    matter fact, i've been keepin it cool
    since money been changin hands
    and i'm left to shine
    the legacy i leave behind
    be the seed that'll keep the flame
    i don't ask for much but enough room to spread these wings
    and the world finna know my name

    (cody chesnutt)
    i don't beg from no rich man
    and i don't scream and kick when his shit don't fall in my hands, man
    cuz i know how to steal
    fertilize another against my lover's will
    i lick the opposition cuz she don't take no pill
    oooh oooh oooh no dear
    you'll be keepin my legend alive
    i push my seed in her bush for life
    it's gonna work because i'm pushin it right
    if mary dropped my baby girl tonight
    i would name her rock n roll

    oooh break it down, break it down...down for me...

    i push my seed somewhere deep in her chest
    i push it naked cuz i've taken my test
    deliver it, mary, it don't matter the sex
    i'm gon name it rock n roll

    i push my seed in her bush for life
    it's gonna work because i'm pushin it right
    if mary dropped my baby girl tonight
    i would name her rock n roll

    i would name her rock n roll, i would name her rock n roll, i would name her
    rock n roll, yeah, i would name it rock n roll
  • gitarlı, davullu gümbür gümbür bir rock şarkısı olmasının yanı sıra; bir rap grubunun elinden çıkma, funky ve oldskool havada. ne fazla piyasa, ne aşırı underground. tam kararında, the roots'a yakışan kalitede ve her dinleyiciye yaklaşabilen seviyede. bu özellikleri sebebiyle, 21. yüzyılı tanımlayan tek bir şarkı söyle deseler bunu örnek verebilirim.
  • yillar once bir cover'iyla farkina vardigim enfes the roots sarkisi. hem ritmi hem sozleri ayri sahane. bir anda "i push my seed in her bush for life / iit's gonna work because i'm pushin it right" derken bulmaniza sebep olabilir. kesinlikle underrated bir sarki ama dilerim oyle kalir.
  • efsane. daha bunun gibi keşfedemediğim yüzlerce şarkı olduğunu düşününce delirecek gibi oluyorum. evde oturup bütün gün bira içip bunun gibi şarkıların kaşifliğine çıktığım bir hayat hayal ediyorum. arada bi film falan izlerim, ayda bir de balkan ülkelerine seyahat. çok bi şey değil.

  • hip-hop'ı (old lover) rock n' roll ile aldatarak (i only wanna fertilize another behind my lover's back) ortaya iz bıracak bir şey çıkarmak hakkındadır*. şarkının kendisi de bu eylemin vücut bulmuş halidir.
