That Riff, That Guitar Riff...

**Bender** · 03-21-2003, 04:34 AM

This is one of the sexiest songs I've heard in years:

[Verse 1: Black Thought]
Knocked up 9 months ago
And what she finna have she don't know
She want neo-soul, this hip-hop is old
She don't want no rock-n-roll
She want platinum or ice or gold
She want a whole lotta somethin' to fold
If you a obstacle she just drop ya cold
Cuz one monkey don't stop the show
Little Mary is bad
In these streets she done ran
E'er since when the heat began
I told the girl look here
Calm down I'ma hold your hand
To enable you to peep the plan
Cuz you is quick to learn
And we can make money to burn
If you allow me the latest game
I don't ask for much, but enough room to spread my wings
And the world finna know my name

[Verse 2:  Cody Chesnutt]
I don't ask, for much these days
And I don't bitch, and whine, if I don't get my way
I only wanna fertilize another behind my lover's back
I sit and watch it grow standin' where I'm at
Fertilize another behind my lover's back
And I'm keepin' my secrets mine
I push my seed in her push for life
Its gonna work because I'm pushin' it right
If Mary drops my baby girl tonight
I would name her Rock-N-Roll

[Verse 3: Black Thought]
Uh-huh
Cadillac need space to roam
Where we headin for she don't know
We in the city where the pros shake rattle and roll
And I'm a gaddang rollin' stone
I don't beg I can hold my own
I don't break I can hold the chrome
And this weighin' a ton and I'm a son of a gun
My code name is The Only One and Black Thought is bad
These streets he done ran ever since when the game began
I never played the fool
Matta fact I be keepin' it cool
Since money been changing hands
And I'm left to shine, but the legacy that I leave behind be the seed
that'll keep the flame
I don't ask for much but enough room to spread these wings
And the world finna know my name

[Verse 4: Cody Chesnutt]
I don't beg
For no rich man
And I don't scream, and kick, when his shit don't fall in my hands, man
Cuz I know how to still
Fertilize another against my lover's will
I lick the opposition cuz she don't take no pill
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-no dear
You'll be keeping my legend alive
I push my seed in her push for life
Its gonna work because I'm pushin' it right
If Mary drops my baby girl tonight
I would name her Rock-N-Roll
Oh-ooh break it down, break it down, break down beat

[break]
I push my seed somewhere deep in her chest
I push it naked cuz I've takin my test
Deliverin' Mary it don't matter the sex
I'm gon' name it rock and roll
I push my seed in my push for life
It's gonna work becuz I'm pushin it right
If Mary drop my baby girl, tonight
I would name her Rock-N-Roll
I would name her Rock-N-Roll
I would name her Rock-N-Roll yeah
I would name it Rock-N-Roll

I know I know, when you read it it's pretty straightforward, but when you read between the lines and add the right music it's horny like James Brown in his best years.

My question is: is that guitar riff original or stolen, and if it's stolen, from what song?

im gonna download that to see...

EDIT: ok im back. those lyrics are simply hilarious and somewhat perverted (it just seems that way). however, i officially dont like that song, it doesnt sound good. its not reeally hip-hop. break u off was much better. and to answer your question, well, i cant.

@ bender - thank you thank you thank you.
Jo Whiley played this track a few weeks ago on t'wireless, I noted the artist & title, downloaded it that night, then PC crashed, I lost everything

I've been wracking my brains to find out who it was again!!!! You are a star!

Just as an after thought, Do tou think the soulfull dude sounds a bit like Terence Trent Duvet?

I learnt something more:

The Seed is original from Cody Chestnut, The Roots has covered it, using his voice.
Searching on Fasttrack now...

**garretrevels** · 03-24-2003, 04:43 PM

word cody chestnutt has a version of the song which is called "the seed"
where as the roots version is called "the seed 2.0"
cody chestnutt is a basement musician who made this huge demo then everybody heard it and was like holyshit this guys got skills and then the roots redid the song with him and now hopefully he'll make a true studio album
so if you download anything by him its gonna be way under produced really bad quality and many various stlyes of music but the song writting its self is simply amazing and makes the demo extremely enjoyable
