The Rolling Stones – Paint It Black Lyrics

20 years ago

This song isn't about the Vietnam war. Yes, it was used in Vietnam films, but it isn't about the war. It was written by two Brits in the mid '60's stung out on heroine. It would be like some American folk song writer in the 1890's writing about the British Boer War. Americans weren't concerned about that British war, and the British weren't concerned with the Vietnam war. However, it IS a song about depression, suicide, and losing a love one. Not satanism or whatever. What I am surprised about is no one getting the 'red door' reference. In the bible, Moses and the Jews had to paint red above their doors so the plague wouldn't kill their first born sons. It's in Exodus. Richards is the first born child, so 'I see a red door and I want it painted black' is a metaphor for wanting to kill himself.

50 Cent – Life's On the Line Lyrics	21 years ago
Jay Z and Nas ain't in Murder Inc. 50 is imitating the way Ja goes "Murdaaaaaaaa!" in his hooks. If you know about their history, it's a really good song. P.Diddy and someone else, I forget who, used the beat to diss Suge nd the rest of Death Row

Eminem – Till I Collapse Lyrics	21 years ago
As far as the list goes, I'm not sure who Reggie is, but he's hurled disses at Jada before ("You put Jada on a track that's how much you suck"), and I don't think he's fond of Andre. But it's a known fact that he looks up at Nas and Jay Z.

Eminem – Doe Ray Me (feat. D12 & Obie Trice) Lyrics	21 years ago
I've seen it called both Hailie's Revenge and Doe Rae Me. On the DJ Green Lantern mixtapes its listed as Doe Rae Me. Either way, it's Em and his group getting back at Pac for saying Hailie's name in a freestyle.
