"Asthenia" By Blink 182

 

My favorite song by them.

 

About a guy in space looking down on the world, torn between going back for the girl he loves or staying in space and avoiding the problems that the world has today.

The music thread gets pushed to page two? For shame, for shame.

I'll have to sport my ignorance here, this is the first Swamp Dogg video I've ever seen - where the black women at?

 

Quick history lesson:

Jerry Williams, Jr., (b. 14 July 1942), is a soul music artist who is better known by his pseudonym Swamp Dogg.

 

Born in Portsmouth, Virginia, Williams made his first recording in 1954 under the moniker "Little Jerry", a 78 rpm single on the Mechanic label titled "HTD Blues" / "Nats Wailing". In 1963 he began using the moniker "Little Jerry Williams", recording with Loma Records, and by 1966 he had dropped the "Little" to record as Jerry Williams.

 

In 1970 he switched his stage name to "Swamp Dogg" and released his first LP record, Total Destruction to Your Mind. Moving from one record label to another during the next 26 years of his recording career, he finally settled on his own record label S.D.E.G. Records [swamp Dogg Entertainment Group] in 1996. His latest recording is titled "If I Ever Kiss It .... He Can Kiss It Goodbye!" [2002].

Anyway,

 

 

Earthly, materialistic, amoral, transient hip hop - crack rap? The best the Neptunes have been in years; the beats and flows mix almost perfectly. Definite musts: We Got It For Cheap, Momma I'm sorry, Ride Around Shining, Hello New World, Ain't Cha. Highlights:

 

"I ain't comin' at cha quote, unquote "Famous Rapper"

Who turn positive, try to tell ya how to live,

But this information I must pass on to the homies

If hustling is a must - be Sosa, not Tony;

We can all shine,

I want your wrist lit like mine,

Neck and ears - I want it lit like mine,

Foreign cars, stick shift, 6 gears - like mine,

Anything that keep mama from crying, visiting

You from behind that glass,

While you away - sentencing,

But the judge is saying "Life" like it ain't someone's life."

 

"I'm sorry grandmamma for mistakes I have made,

When I aired family business - how you put me in my place;

Even my baby mamma, I can't look you in the face

Cause I can't do enough, you're a symbol of God's grace,

So I place you in a flower bed, porcelain shower head

Throughout the house, and keep the youngins' mouths fed,

So when I'm gone, I hope that it's said,

I gave structure to the youth

By the example I led."

 

"The wall's removed and now I see:

My leg was pulled, the joke's on me (ha..ha)

So heartbreaking, like lovin' a whore,

Might hurt ya once, but never no more,

It's like tryin' to fly, but they clipping your wings,

And that's exactly why the caged bird sings,

Who can nickname it, the shame rings true

Seems to me reparations are overdue;"

 

"That accounts for all them days in the cold,

Feels like kissin' cake mix, can't wait to lick the bowl,

But it's a bigger picture, homes, trust I've done seen it

From Frankfurt To Cologne, eyes low to Sweden,

From Italy's Milan to the shores of Nepali,

Now I consider Ferraris and Salvador Dalis,

I'm no longer local, my thoughts are global,

That's why I seem distant - son expand your vision;"

 

"Fear him as soon as you hear him;

Upon my arrival - the dope dealers cheer him

Just like a revival, the verse tends to steer 'em

Through a life in the fast lane, like German engineerium;

No serum can cure all the pain I've endured,

From crack to rap to back to sellin' it pure,

For every record I potentially sell in the store,

It's like Mecca to the dealer that's sellin' it raw,

So many deceive ya,

I'm on top with the ki's, move over Alicia,

I force feed ya the metric scale,

Rap's like child's play, my show and tell,

Within each verse you see the truth's unveiled,

They manufacture proof as they lie to themselves,

Puppets on the string like a yo-yo,

Bouncin' like a pogo - they prayin' I never go solo."

 

 

Hope you music thread blokes had a good 25th.

My first knowledge of the man known as "Swamp Dogg" came while gazing with horror and delight at some of the worst album covers ever, as collected in a coffee table book I was perusing at the local chain bookstore.
