i like this song more and more every time i hear it...

...MORE! MORE HIPHOP ON RP, PLEASE!

I've never heard this on commercial radio before, I don't listen to the stations that would play it.
Having heard it here a more than enough times, I can honestly say I really can't stand this. Purely on its own merits.

Now, if you don't like the music please do comment! Also, as has been stated over and over again in various threads, the fact that a tune is being played on other channels is no argument not to play it here. Any song should be valued on its own merits and not on how successful it is commercially.

I can't place its name, but a major piece of this is ripped from a U2 tune I think.

Lot of rap/hip-hop on RP these days. :-k

Anyone seen the video?

isn't Damon Albarn british?

I realize I'm sounding pedantic.

I, too, had ably googled the lyrics and got the exact "words" (poorly articulated in that peculiarly urban American accent most of the world struggles with) but failed to comprehend them even after seeing the printed text. Though "laughing gas these hazmats" might be a putdown aimed at a group outfitted in a style of clothing, and I could venture a guess at the substance being so crudely lined up, does anyone know what "fast cats" are, where the "track" is, what happens during a "chocolate attack," who "care bear" is and whether his or her "bumping" and "gravitating" is anything like normal bumping and gravitating, how one would "go ghost town" or reach a degree of "cheddar header," whether "the INC" is a living entity, whether there is indeed no relevance between the first & second parts, and whether the latter part is merely a boasting prelude to some bar brawl.

This is getting a lot of play time, so I'm sure many Americans know what it all means and might be able to translate this loosely connected series of short English-like phrases. I even lived in the U.S. for many years, throughout the sixties and into the seventies, studied there, traveled 46 of 50 states, and learned to speak English quite well. Yet I fail. I wonder if others do as well.

Why is that a problem?
