Forgetting FM & the side projects, my favorite raps by mike in LP are: Reading my Eyes, Step Up, And One (interlude), Part of me, Dedicated, The Untitled, I have not begun, Hands Held High & When they come for me. All are undeniably brilliant.
for me : High Voltage but I really like frgt10 Live version ( 2005 ) , when he sang " Nothing can stop in this land of the pain The sane lose not knowing they were part of the game "
Peep the style and the kids checking for it the number one question is how could you ignore it , we drop right back in the cut over basement tracks, with raps that got you backing this up like rewind that, We're just rolling with the rhythm, Rise from the ashes of stylistic division with these non-stop lyrics of life living not to be forgotten but still unforgiven But in the meantime there are those who wanna talk this and that so I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt and get dirty with the people spreading the dirt it goes
It's a tie between 'I Have Not Begun' and 'Bleed It Out' for me...I just love the way he flows in Bleed It Out, the lyrics aren't amazing. If I could choose a FM song, Slip Out The Back would be the winner. So emotional and AMAZING lyrics, better than anything he could have wrote with LP.
The first verse of 'Right Now' has always been an all time favorite for me. But if I must chose from LP, I guess I'd go with the majority and say WTCFM/Hands Held High. High Voltage is pretty awesome too. Edit: And if I were to throw lyrics out the window and just look at flow/catchiness, I'd agree that Bleed it Out is fucking awesome. Although Faint is also pretty great.
Album by album Hybrid Theory: In The End Meteora: Not really sure MTM: I'm fine with both of the raps on there ATS: When They Come For Me And if I ranked those it would be from ATS back to HT.
i'm gonna have to say: somewhere i belong--> i get so inspired by that song piece when Mike raps. I've been thinking about that for the past week or so while i'm making my French Fries song. it's gonna be unique** and i'm working on the instrumental piece for that song. does anyone says SCIENTIAL or have that word been outdated?? it'll be quite interesting to know. i've never heard anyone say it but me. i just looked in the dictionary. humm> i put my Thinker Cap on
I like his rap in Pushing Me Away "Everything falls apart even the people who never frown eventually break down" jk My favorite rap by him is the bridge in Forgotten. I Have Not Begun is Fort Minor lyrics or so I assume because he mentions Machine Shop well I think it's a demo that didn't make it to Rising Tied at least.
When They Come For Me Hands Held High Faint It's going down I think RME is over-rated. I agree with Mike that some of it is dope, but a lot of it is weak or makes no sense
