BIP Soundcheck

[East Coast Hustle]

This is ECH - I fled the country in vain
now I'm back on the same coast that gave me my name
carry the seeds of the third world deep in my brain
I've been deep undercover in America's shame
Seen scars of Monroe Doctrine and the WTO
Give rise to new marxist axis - Castro and Hugo
And how we federally subsidize Puerto Rico
Use them for testing weapons that we wouldn't test on our own
fine blond-haired, blue-eyed, white-skinned Americans
Tell them they can't vote but assure them they're "citizens"
Violently stifle dissent - Los Macheteros get militant
So then we give back Vieques to convince them they're free again
We patronize but leave the VI economically cold
While H. Stern gets fat selling fatter cats their cheap gold
Exploit loopholes to sell diamonds from Sierra Leone
This ain't America - America is not my home

We run deeper than rivers - permanent bedrock
Impart knowledge to facilitate obsolescence of cell blocks
Erode Prison-Industrial Complex
Slavery's still here - the new slaves are convicts
Oppressed minds explode like intellectual Semtex
Surprised that blowin' minds won't get you sentenced to death yet
Implanting verbal time-bombs from under your headset
Rebellion raps - it's the BIP soundcheck

This is LHX from out' the land of the snow
We call it T-Dot - outsiders call it "Toronto"
My rhymes is like icebergs - chiselled sharp from the cold
On the surface only a tenth of the content is known
I want to sink ships - but it's hard to know where to start
When language barrier nearly tore my country apart
but fuck that - We, The People all speak common language
Of how utopian dreams turn sour if left to languish
So why not drown your hopes in a bottle of wine?
Why not hit the rotgut 'til you're mercifully blind?
My scorched eyes drink in the sight of a failed nation
A puppet state made to create arctic separation
Between our patrons to the south and the Soviet Union
Tore down the old Evil Empire and built a shinier new one
A more true one to ideal omnipresence of State
Built to last - a machine that The Machine creates
I pledge something like allegiance to the forces of fate
Urge y'all to vote with a bullet in 2008

[East Coast Hustle]

full disclosure: I wrote both verses, I just wrote one pretending I was LHX and hoped he'd like it enough to wanna spit it for real.

hot damn.

I'm all over What Really Went On There. Fallpig is gonna take some work, some out-of-left-field stream of consciousness weird shit, but basically, FUCK YEAH.

[LMNO]

I'm currently trying to mash Kraftwerk and Nomeansno into something, and I got several dozen more samples crying out to be used, so there theoretically should be at least 8 more tracks to be created.

[East Coast Hustle]

bump.

surely you've caught on to the theme by now.

TIA.

[Cain]

Is the theme musical by chance?

Also, would you like a copy of Ableton, in order to mix and create your own tracks? It may be easier than waiting for LMNO.

[East Coast Hustle]

LMNO has beats. I just want him to re-upload them to someplace other than Multiply.

however, now that you mention it, I think I will amend my demands to include at least 2 (two) NEW beats.

LMNO, your wife and job will have to wait.

[Cain]

The Alphabet Man is on holiday until the 19th. 

[East Coast Hustle]

ouch.

you guys are hating it.

[LMNO]

Yo, check it:

I still can't find a site that provides sizable mp3 storage for download... for free*.  Yes, I am a cheap bastard.


Re: New beats.  I'll work on it.




*MiHD, Megaupload, etc don't really count, for me.  But I can upload trax there, if'n you want.

[East Coast Hustle]

megaupload works for me. or rapidshare.

I dunno if this would make it easier or harder, but you could upload them as a single album with separate tracks instead of doing it one by one.

[LMNO]

I could upload them as a zip...


Incidentally,  If you do some lyrics, send them back as a separate file.  I usually re-edit the song around the vox to have more impact.

[East Coast Hustle]

will do. and I assumed you'd send them as a zip.

[LMNO]

Ok, the Fallpig track: I've finally come up with an idea for a vocal hook/title: "Ignorance is".

I'll lay it down and send it.  It'll make more sense when you hear it.
