| The X-ecutioners – It's Going Down Lyrics | 24 years ago |

i think this song represents the collision between hiphop and rock as linkin park is known for. they know it's the future: "super futuresque style" they even mention "hybrid dialect," their hybrid theory. and their many elements are the talents that the band members contribute: vocal caress: mike shinoda lungs that gasp for breathe from emotinal stress: chester bennington special effects: MR. Joe Hahn on the turntables distorted collage: brad delson on guitar, phoenix on bass beats of rhythmic barrage: rob bourdon on drums the logical progression is the blending of hiphop and rock the sword and the pen are the differences in vocal attacks by chester and mike that's what linkin park's all about "ready to bring separation of style to a stop" and that's what's GOING DOWN. i know this is an X cutioners song, and the meaning can very well include them since they're strictly hiphop and linkin park is more rock. this song truly captures what's going to happen to modern music in the next few decades. hip hop and rock will collide together, but it will still be difficult to grasp by some some people because it is on the aggressive side. not everyone is willing to turn to aggression. but you can count on linkin park to find the sweet spot of the two styles. |
