| Kanye West – Everything I Am Lyrics | 18 years ago |

anyone notice how amazing Kanye's wordplay is? like here he cleverly changes the syllables in Adidas to fit the rhyme with "baggy clothes", Reebok's or A-Di-DOS. or in Stronger when he rhymes: since prince was on Appolonia since OJ had Isotoners its just stuff like that, that makes Kanye THE best hip hop artist making music right now hands down. College Dropout, Late Registration and now Graduation are the greatest collection of hip hop CDs by one artist, in my opinion. There's so much going on in each track, its so hard not to put Mr. West up there with Nas, Pac, Rakim, all those guys. And, I hated rap before I listened to Kanye. |

| Bruce Springsteen – Jungleland Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Man there's an opera out on the Turnpike There's a ballet being fought out in the alley The best lines of the whole song. Bruce uses such poetic wordplay to describe life. The song touches on all classic Bruce ~ girls, cars, life in general. But this time, in this ballad, something is different as he comes at you in a much more personal level. Putting you right into the story with "The Magic Rat". He makes you want to listen to everything that you've heard time and time again. The way the song flows from the soft ballad into the last verse where he really drives it home "Outside the streets on fire in a real death waltz" is phenomenal. This is a far too underrated song in general. Nine and a half minutes of greatness. Personal favorite song, too bad you almost never hear it. |
