I fecking LOVE this though.

You need to start about 4 minutes in, but it's just beautiful.

Luke, you have been seduced by the dark side, nothing good can come of this.

Sparky, I don't believe it!

When I saw the rap thread earlier - I too thought 'there's only one that I like' - and this is it! But I had no idea what it was called or who it was!

This is the version I heard, on Jools last month:

Are you looking for that previous rap thread?

By:

Tommy Toes When: 09 Dec 09 01:53

Very good, JM!

By:

sparkmaster. When: 09 Dec 09 01:57

it's great ain't it tommy!

By:

sparkmaster. When: 09 Dec 09 01:59

YES ALISHA!!

By:

Tommy Toes When: 09 Dec 09 01:59

It is, Sparky. I think the girl in the Jools version is a better singer, though. She really 'makes' the song.

By:

sparkmaster. When: 09 Dec 09 02:12

yes!

By:

Tommy Toes When: 09 Dec 09 02:14

I'm on about my 5th repeat, Sparky!
She really blasts it out!

By:

sparkmaster. When: 09 Dec 09 02:17

good stuff TOMMY!

have we reached dude?

By:

Tommy Toes When: 09 Dec 09 02:21

I knew there was something I had to do!

Not yet!

By:

canaryboy When: 09 Dec 09 11:25

yeah tbh it's not rap at all

just rnb/hip hop

By:

sparkmaster. When: 09 Dec 09 23:24

Apart from Jay-Z rapping all the way through it, that's SO true.

I've got it on again, I LOVE this!

By:

Big Charlie When: 09 Dec 09 23:31

FFS

3:06 before she sang the first note

I stuck with it until 4:27

then it was off immediately

By:

mitchell downie When: 09 Dec 09 23:33

Garbage, absolute garbage. The only rap song I've ever thought was ok is Gangsters Paradise.

By:

sparkmaster. When: 09 Dec 09 23:34

Should have read the small print. Then you'd only have lost 27 seconds!

By:

Tommy Toes When: 09 Dec 09 23:34

You probably won't like my link either then, BC, but that one starts straight away (same song) but she's a better singer.
Still don't like the rapping part - but she belts out a mighty fine tune.

By:

mitchell downie When: 09 Dec 09 23:34

and I'm surprised at you Tommy Toes.

By:

Tommy Toes When: 09 Dec 09 23:36

Life is full of surprises, Mitchell!

You have a listen to the woman in my link and I'll bet you'll be impressed.

By:

mitchell downie When: 09 Dec 09 23:36

ok, maybe later. :-)

By:

Tommy Toes When: 09 Dec 09 23:37

Okay, Mitchell - she's a 'hot chick' too!

By:

sparkmaster. When: 09 Dec 09 23:38

Been watching the Yankees versions, great to see a city so united, and unashamedly and unaggressively so.

By:

big-game-player When: 09 Dec 09 23:38

im not sure why you lot call this rapping... just speaking quicker than normal..

like i said.. listen to some proper rap music..

By:

sparkmaster. When: 09 Dec 09 23:39

Proper as defined by who? If you're a bigger name than Jay-Z, I'll happily defer.

By:

mitchell downie When: 09 Dec 09 23:40

Listened to 3 mins Tommy, gave it a fair try. Worse than Sparkys.

By:

sparkmaster. When: 09 Dec 09 23:41

WORSE THAN SPARKYS!

Now THAT'S low!!!

By:

sparkmaster. When: 09 Dec 09 23:44

Another tune in this crossover genre I like is (this really is Jay-Z's speciality)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVA-xTBeHyM

I mean the posturing is more than a little ridiculous, but again, the contrast between the aggressive undertone of the rap and the beautiful hook is compelling.

By:

sparkmaster. When: 09 Dec 09 23:44

Dido/Eminem also.

By:

mitchell downie When: 09 Dec 09 23:44

ffs

By:

Journeyman When: 09 Dec 09 23:45

Surely nobody can hate this.

Clever rapping, deep message, catchy chorus and featuring forum darling lily. :x

mitchell downie When: 09 Dec 09 23:45

If you'd lived in the 30's 40's 50's or 60's, and sampled music of the time, you'd realise how vile this stuff is.

By:

Tommy Toes When: 09 Dec 09 23:46

Mitchell, try fast forwarding it to 3:20 - and then it's mostly her.

There's a great twiddle of guitar at 4:00 too.

By:

mitchell downie When: 09 Dec 09 23:46

I'll take a rain check Tommy.

By:

Tommy Toes When: 09 Dec 09 23:48

Okay Mitchell.
As I said, life is full of surprises. I really dislike most rap music, but as soon as I heard this on Jools that night I though it was great.

By:

big-game-player When: 09 Dec 09 23:49

lol you clown.. you think this rap-lite by jay z and the likes is proper old school rap music then you know less than i thought..

then again you prob call bands like jedward rock and roll
