Reply #167: pretty good!

It sounded like real instrumentation behind the rap, with some good, interesting percussion as opposed to a mindlessly boring bass loop. (the piano riff at the end might have been sampled - but I don't have an issue with something like that - 6 notes looped a number of times). Too bad the person who made that video cut off the "accompanied by:" credit when they were panning down the album cover. :(

The lyrics are great. I find spoken word rap - or even spoken poetry - to be personally boring, so it isn't something that I would listen to more than once. Which is kind of strange now that I think about it, as I don't have the same reaction to "talking blues". I'm guessing that's because in that, there is at least a blues melody going on behind the words to hold my interest.
