So, Rawkkiddo asked "Do you have a theme song?" Well, in case you didn't know, EVERY good hero has a theme song. And mine is Sex, Drugs, Rap and Roll by Killer Mike.
Now, on first listen, this song is just on some raunchy, rude shit. And, I'll give you that. With vivid accounts of "face-fuckin' and pill poppin'", I really can't deny the fact. But, to me, there's a lot beneath the surface. This is a song about grabbing life by the balls and squeezing it for everything it's worth. This is a song about enjoying the moment. Fuck it! It's YOUR LIFE! Ride until the wheels fall off. Just reading the lyrics (below) will give you the picture of some juvenile shit, but the passion in the delivery will put it all into perspective. Just listen!
Bitch, you know what boys like
Marquis suites, 4 blunts of dro and 2 hot dykes
Their clit piercing'll glisten like a fuckin' flashlight
Hung over off old liquor and a new spike
I'm livin' so trife
But never mind me, ho, cuz this is my life
It represents 40 days and fuckin' hot nights
On the corner sellin' hope right through a crack pipe
Now say my name right
Now say my name right
It's just Killer Mike
You GOT-DAMN right
I'll be the first to speak and shoot
The last to take flight
Pushin' 160 on I-20 with no headlights
It's pitch black nights
151 and Cali chronic got my eyes heavy and head light
Alpines screamin', competin' with dual flow-master pipes
Here's what they sound like
This is sex, drugs, rap and roll
Corrupt your soul
Pop your Ro, gulp your Mo, blow your life away in smoke
Hit the flo and throw a 'bow, grab a ho and lose control
This is our life, sex, drugs, rap and roll
This is sex, drugs, rap and roll
Corrupt your soul
Pop your Ro, gulp your Mo, blow your life away in smoke
Hit the flo and throw a 'bow, grab a ho and lose control
This is our life, sex, drugs, rap and roll
I grew up in a hard hood, on some hectic shit
Got demons to reckon with
Drown myself in decadence
Every trap I'm checkin' it
I ain't Kobe, all my bitches look ethnic
Dark, thick, pierced tounge, tits and clits, suck dick
Other chick catches in the G.C. gettin' lapdances fro the same bitch
Lame bitch
Hot twat in the Marriott
Fine brains and jism stains left as forget-me-nots
My soul rotten
This ho a freak, fucked and forgotten
Snort until my nose snottin', drink until my liver spottin'
Face fuckin' and pill poppin'
This is rap and roll, fuck yo hip-hoppin'
She wanna ride it, until it's limp and runny
With a joker's jism left in her jazzy tummy
She wanna hold my love for 9 months
I can't front, I'm in lust with 9 cunts
With 9 cunts cuz...cuz...
This is sex, drugs, rap and roll
Corrupt your soul
Pop your Ro, gulp your Mo, blow your life away in smoke
Hit the flo and throw a 'bow, grab a ho and lose control
This is our life, sex, drugs, rap and roll
This is sex, drugs, rap and roll
Corrupt your soul
Pop your Ro, gulp your Mo, blow your life away in smoke
Hit the flo and throw a 'bow, grab a ho and lose control
This is our life, sex, drugs, rap and roll
Lame bitch, continue dick dodgin' and nut duckin'
I'mma keep gat clutchin' and nut bussin'
Gettin' brain watching two hoes face fuckin'
To entertain, it's a shame hoes'll break they toes to escape a nigga's game
And lay with a cockless bitch with a fade and a nigga's name
Sexy, sad and useless
Chin and pussy leavin' bruises
Bull-daggers I can't blame, I love to see perversion in the game
I don't care what frame it come in
She need a tounge to keep her cummin'? You better keep her cummin'
Eventually, there's a need for a dick to come in
And have her cummin' from the inside out
To pull her guts from the inside out
Ho, fuck yo girlfriend, swallow this shroom
Close you got-damned mouth
Boy-bitches better watch out, when rappers fall through in a whirlwind
Bitch niggas and dykes better cuff their girlfriends
This is sex, drugs, rap and roll
Corrupt your soul
Pop your Ro, gulp your Mo, blow your life away in smoke
Hit the flo and throw a 'bow, grab a ho and lose control
This is our life, sex, drugs, rap and roll
This is sex, drugs, rap and roll
Corrupt your soul
Pop your Ro, gulp your Mo, blow your life away in smoke
Hit the flo and throw a 'bow, grab a ho and lose control
This is our life, sex, drugs, rap and roll

Adding it to my list, usually I dont let others pick out there own songs but I will break this rule for two reasons. 1. Monster is an incredible album and 2. Your love for the song
My Trusted MOGs
Wow...already familiar with Monster. I've underestimated you.

Troy, one of my favorites. While my mog page might not give the impression that I listen to a lot of hip hop, its a genre I have been in love with since the 6th grade. On a trip to chicago when I was 11, I found a radio station there that was playing nothing but rap music. I took every tape I had, and recorded as much as I could while I was there. Somewhere in my parents attic I still have those tapes, and one of these days I will go back to find them. You name it, and if I thinks its good, I most likely own it.

Eww...
That being said (and it had to be) I think I kind of understand what you mean. When my sister was doing her time in Afghanistan I used to play One More Road to Cross by DMX - to me that was her theme song out there. Of course, that song has less than zero to do with being a soldier - but the energy and attitude seemed right.

Chucker: A friend of mine manages a couple local rappers, and I'm always telling him it really doesn't matter how great their lyrics are, if they can't deliver the song. You've just gotta have that abstract something, especially in rap, to transform a song from "Okay" to "Wow!" If his delivery was any different, this would just be another shallow, "I do a lot of drugs. I get a lot of pussy." song. But, instead, it's an anthem. It's an mantra!
My Trusted MOGs
Very true. You have to have both to be great.
