Round 7 – Cold
Sorry for the lack of write-ups. I promise you I have a really good reason, but it is not one I’m going to disclose, but it has nothing to do with the quality of the songs. Aside from one song, this was the strongest bottom of the round to date.
Sacul: Obsidian Kingdom – Oncoming Dark/Through The Glass/Cinnamon Balls 7/8
TAC: Shooting Star – Last Chance 2/8
Obfuscation: Immortal Technique – Dance With The Devil
This content of this song was really uncomfortable. I don’t really care for rap. I don’t relate to most of it. My personality, lifestyle, and upbringing are pretty much the antithesis of most rap songs. Call me cold, but I don’t want to hear about gang-banging, drug dealing, and life in the hood, even when it is presented like it is in this song where it is not glorified, but vilified. The guy can rap. I even liked the simple, minimalist music that was underneath it. If someone told me Immortal Technique was their favorite musician, just based on this song I could easily respect that decision. But I still can’t get into rap. I don’t relate to it lyrically, even when the musical part isn’t drek.
