cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/17747844 > >“ocean eyes” is the debut single from then 13-year-old Billie Eilish. She posted the song on SoundCloud where it organically went viral, generating over a million plays. The song has been officially remixed four times, featured in the extended play, Ocean Eyes (The Remixes). > > >In this song, Billie Eilish puts herself in the position of someone she hurt deeply, trying to understand what they went through. > > >The track has two music videos, with the first being the original, homemade version. It features Eilish against a flowing curtain, singing soulfully to the camera, filmed in one take on her own property. She goes on to talk more about the process of making the music video on a YouTube video with FBE: > > >>This was the day after my birthday that we shot this. I had just turned 14. They put makeup on me that I did not want, and they did my hair very fucking weird. The difference between a 13-year-old and then a 16-year-old is so different. > > >The second is a dance video, highlighting Eilish’s passion for dance with vivid, interpretive choreography. > > https://genius.com/Billie-eilish-ocean-eyes-lyrics

[Explicit] MACKLEMORE - HIND'S HALL [2:48 | Rap, West Coast Rap, Hardcore Rap, Boom Bap, Conscious Hip-Hop, Protest Songs, Hip-Hop, USA, In English, Politics]

piped.video

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/17606738 > Alt. link: MACKLEMORE - HIND'S HALL (AUDIO ONLY) [02:48] https://youtu.be/wmg6vbt04TY > > --- > > >“HIND’S HALL” was released by Macklemore through social media on 6 May 2024. > > >The track broadly addresses the State of Israel’s attack on Palestinians in Gaza which began in October 2023. The attack, which has caused tens of thousands of casualties, overwhelmingly civilian, has been widely characterised as genocidal, including as plausibly amounting to genocide by the ruling of the International Court of Justice in South Africa v Israel. > > >More narrowly, the track addresses the 2024 encampment movement which took shape around the world in protest of other states' response, or lack of response, to the Israeli attack. Macklemore, who is based in the United States, particularly criticises US institutions' coercive, brute-force, often militarised response to student protesters using their (nominally) guaranteed rights to free speech. > > >The song is named in reference to Hind’s Hall, a building at Columbia University in Manhattan, more commonly known as Hamilton Hall, prior to its takeover by student protesters. The building was named in reference to Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old Palestinian girl murdered by Israeli occupation forces. Hind’s fate is known because the civilian car she was riding in was disabled by an Israeli tank, killing most of her family and injuring her, whereupon her cousin placed a call to Palestinian emergency services crying and begging for help before also being killed. Hind subsequently spent three hours on call with Palestinian emergency services, allowing an ambulance to be dispatched and reach her. Upon its arrival, that ambulance was destroyed, and its crew and Hind were murdered, by the same or another Israeli tank. > > >Hind’s call was leaked online and instantly became a focus of widespread notoriety due to the cold, calculated nature of her and her family’s murder — Hind and her cousin’s calls and evidence from the scene consistently indicate Israeli forces were in the immediate vicinity and in visual range at the time of each killing, meaning there is no reasonable chance the Israeli tank crews did not fully realise what they had done. Moreover, the Israeli tank destroyed the ambulance after Israeli forces had provided the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and Gaza Health Ministry with a “guarantee” of safe passage and the ambulance had proceeded along a route laid out for that purpose. In addition, after the killing, Israeli spokespeople chose to lie about it and attempt to cover it up. > > >The song also features a sample from “Ana La Habibi”, by legendary Lebanese Arab singer Fairuz, to fit the theme of making a song for Palestine. Fairuz has also been vocal in her support for Palestine over the course of career with the album Jerusalem in my Heart, featuring the single “Zahrat al Madaen”, which became a pan-Arab anthem, releasing only two weeks after the 1967 Six-Day War. > > https://genius.com/Macklemore-hinds-hall-lyrics

50 Cent - Many Men (Wish Death) (Dirty Version) [04:57 | Rap, In English, USA, Boom Bap, Pop Rap, Storytelling, Hip-Hop, Hardcore Rap, New York Rap, East Coast Rap, Gangsta Rap]

youtu.be

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/17538798 > >“Many Men (Wish Death)” is the third single from 50 Cent’s debut studio album Get Rich or Die Tryin'. This track deals with 50’s near death experiences (infamously, 50 was shot 9 times in 2000) and feeling like there’s a price tag on his head. > > >In February 2003, while on Rap City Tha Bassment, 50 Cent would say “Many Men” is his favorite song from the album: > > >And he also said it in the MTV All Eyes On 50 Cent special: > > >About 20 years later, 50 Cent would contradict himself in an interview with news outlet Marca, where he said: > > >>Many Men was my least favorite at that point because, musically we was in the boom-bap phase, we was in that hard-hitting intensity, the energy on the records, and it’s the slowest song on Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. And it’s now the tempo that the artists are rapping to. So the fast tempo, hard-hitting beats, that was that era, that time period. And the whole album had it. > > https://genius.com/50-cent-many-men-wish-death-lyrics

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/17538603 > >“Who Shot Ya?” is Biggie’s warning to his adversaries not to mess with him and if they do, he will return the favor by killing them. > > >The song was originally recorded for Mary J. Blige’s 1994 album My Life but didn’t make the cut as Biggie’s version was considered too violent. Instead, Keith Murray was asked to record a different version, which is now known as the “K. Murray Interlude.” > > >On November 30, 1994, 2Pac was shot and robbed at Quad Studios in New York. He accused Puff Daddy, Jimmy Henchman, and Biggie for setting up the attack. “Who Shot Ya?” fueled Pac’s suspicions as he saw it as a diss track toward him, due to its coincidental release in Feburary 1995. He later responded to the song a year later with “Hit ‘Em Up” and “Bomb First (My Second Reply).” > > https://genius.com/The-notorious-big-who-shot-ya-lyrics

Looking for recommendations

I found myself listening to the same like eight or nine songs everyday, and I want to branch out more. I like artists like DOOM, Nas, Aesop Rock, Brother Ali, JID, Jarv, Homeboy Sandman, Mayhem Lauren, Little Simz and Westside Gunn. Anybody know anything good I can try?
