| Jedi Mind Tricks – Before the Great Collapse Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I love the samples on this record...Really good, immersive words being said there. The beat brings out the meaning of the song, in an almost circus type recording, it really shows what this song is. As the beat transitions, the mood transitions. It goes very well with Vinnie's breakdown throughout. As the beat starts to fall apart, Vinnie continues comtemplating suicide even more. Eventually with the "circus" breaking down at the end... |

|
On the real, this song along with "Koe" have some of the most meaningful and abstract lyrics in recent memory. Stuff's crazy. Really hard-hitting lyrics... |

| Jedi Mind Tricks – When All Light Dies Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
A lot of Jedi Mind's records are like this: I'm better than you, and I will kill you in creatively innovative ways to prove it. I think this record reiterates that, and that's basicaly it. But with Worden on the hook for this, like she was on "Razorblade Salvation", it makes this song a real good one. |

| The Coup – Me And Jesus The Pimp In A '79 Granada Last Night Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Crazy record...He's able to talk about being influenced by the man in so many ways, acting liking him, talking like him, making actions like him, and how it angers him. The way the story is told makes this song itself great, from the past to the present in a 3rd person perspective, really creative track. |

| Jedi Mind Tricks – Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Very intense record. About Vietnam, and the effects of it on everyone, from the civilians to the vets. Agent Orange came through all the war, and ruined the lives of many of these people. This song really displays how bad it was. On RA's verse, he wrote it from the words of his father. He basically rapped his father's experience in Vietnam, so it makes it that much more crazy. |

| Canibus – 2nd Round Ko Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| After this diss, Canibus got recognized a bit more. He dismembered everything about LL on a personal level, which is what good disses are often able to do. | |
| Jedi Mind Tricks – Tibetan Black Magicians Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Basically, "we're better than you, and if you mess with us we will anahilate you in crazy ways." Sums up this record, which is probably Jedi Mind's and certainly is Canibus' best work. This record led me to think Canibus should join Jedi Mind or AOTP, he fits the lyricism requirement of dopeness and would bring in many more fans. Anyways, dope track. |

"Twenty-Two" is said 7 times in 3 lines. =/ ...intricate display of lyricism |

Yo Bubba used to be good. This chorus is good, and the lyrics are pretty alright. I can't decipher a meaning though... |

| Jedi Mind Tricks – On the Eve of War (feat. GZA/Genius) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Dopest sample on a track ever. "There's NO escapin', once my blades start scrapin'//" Not much meaning to the song as a whole, but that track at the end of the first verse could be something... "I don't mind that we all 'gon die soon// I'll return to the silence of God's tomb//" |
|
| Jedi Mind Tricks – Shadow Business Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The quotes on this track are hard-hitting. Really exposes the truths that we should be taking care of. The slave labor along with sweatshops on our country's soil. And we let it happen...? Stuff happening in Saipan was exposed on the news with Brian Ross on 20/20. Yet not much was done. Shadow contracts distributed by China to these sweatshop workers are very constricting, leaving you with no freedoms. Everything Vinnie says is true in this song. Anyways, this record is dope, love the beat and the lyrics are attacking real issues. |

| Jedi Mind Tricks – Razorblade Salvation Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Crazy record. Stoupe on that beat, and Worden on that hook, along with Vinnie on the verses, this song is sick-wit-it. Very powerful too, with the way he evolves from the beginning to the end with "So mommy keep that first letter I wrote you on the low// I think I wanna stay alive to see if I can grow//" puts the song on a whole 'nother level... |
