I'm pretty sure i know every word to every one of their songs. I love Fort Minor as well, so i sing the live version of Points of Authority when the put Dolla or In Stereo as an intro Very psyched when i got all the words to Jigga What/Faint down
I can do the Bleed It Out, Hands Held High, In The End, Faint easily, or Believe Me, and Petrified. I have a good memory... Actually I love to show off by rapping HHH..
The ending of And one is the only verse in any LP song that I'm just clueless. One of these days I'll dedicate a day to learning it.
i'd say i could honestly do most of Hybrid Theory and Meteora, but the demo's like Xero and Rading my Eyes are a bit tough, and high voltage, credit to you shinoda194 thats some good stuff, i love that song and good lyrics, i get a little tongue tied but its mostly there also the alternate version of... its... in the end, i got that down perfect, sat up for an hour to get that right perfect, god i love it one, it multiples till you can taste the sun, burnt by the sky you try to take it from, but if it falls, there's no place to run crumbling down, its so unreal (unreeeaaaalll) they're dealing you in to determine your end and sendin you back again to places you've been and bendin you will till it breaks you within and still they fill their eyes (eyeeeeeessssss) with the twilight of the skylight in the highlights on a frame of steel see your brightness of your likeness as i write this on a pad of the way i feel (Way i feeeeeeeel) hear the screaming in my dreaming as its seeming like you played your part like you're heartless take apart this in the darkness but i know that i tried so hard... beautiful lyrics
*Stands up and applauds and whistles* Great job! LOL I'll look at this while I listen to it next time. However, it was still probably a smart move by LP/whoevers idea it was to change the lyrics. This was LP's first album and they had to get their music out there. Complex/hard to rap to lyrics like this may have turned many casual listeners away. But for ATS, they should hopefully do whatever the heck they want! I have a good feeling that they will! Maybe on their next tour LP will break out some lyrical material from their demos. Like if they did the "Raindrops put the rhythm on the pavement and drip from the blacktop into the basement. Traces of the rain pervade this to erase your hate and take this from the fakeness" during Crawling. That would be so unexpected but so dope at the same time. Haha that so won't happen but a man can dream.
I think I could do it. I pretty much know every word album to album except for the end verse in "And One" and "Jigga What".
The ending of And One isn't really that hard... It's this (maybe a couple words wrong, but not by much) Spit drips from the jaw of the witless witness Cryptic colloquialism shit your mixed in* Dog-paddle move along The shadows move along With my thought catalog, analog Rap battle-log** Keep my distance and fear resistance Hurt by persistence The twisted webs of tangled lies Strangles my hope to waste And numbs the taste And I'm forced to face these Hate crimes against the state of bein' real And the weightlessness Pressed between the ceiling Real in the round room, ridin' a bubble of sound Dude, it's the frequency making your shed shake with every boom Involuntary muscle contractions, ingnoring then drinking Musical gas-fume euphoria The sound pounds to make the dead flush Then have you a head rush With read thoughts and said stuff *(a lot of people say it's "shifts your midriff" but it's obviously "shit you're mixed in" if you listen closely) **(this might actually be "catalog" instead of "battle log" but I don't think Mike would rhyme the same word twice, and battle-log makes sense too) Now you too can rap "And One"!!! Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!
haha thanks Shinoda194 i love that demo, but yeah i think you're right, gotta get themselves out there first and make a name for themselves first, and besides, finding these demos is a great thing for an LP fan to find because its almost like another song, with the lyrics and style, and things like the demo's they've actually released, its just amazing to have and hear how they were thinking, and to have this alternate version, i reckon how mike adds his fort minor stuff into some songs like the Dolla intro to Points of Authority at the live concerts, i reckon they should add little demo snippets in (if they can even remember them! they were from so long ago!) that would be the ultimate prize for the die hard LP fans at their concerts
The worst case scenario would be the casual fans getting a little lost for 30 seconds. It would be the perfect way to please the non hard core fans and the hard core ones at the same time!
I can usually tell an LP song within the first few seconds, with just the music. As for lyrics, I've got most of them down pat. I have a bit of trouble with their older demos (pre-HT), and I also have the problem that I'll start singing verses from remixes/demos when I'm listening to the album version.
From Xero to Meteora I am confident I'd get 95% of the lyrics at least without a slip-up. MTM is riddled with songs I'd goof up on, but nothing serious. I probably know around 80% of the material off MTM by heart. And I could pretty much say the lyrics without any music so long as I get the first word/line.
I know all the lyrics from HT and Meteora. From MtM, all but HHH and maybe Valentine's Day, I never really cared about the lyrics for that one. The ending rap of And One isn't that complicated... I remember memorizing it in one afternoon, reading the lyrics and playing that part over and over The only tough part is the "it's the frequency making you shake shake with every boom". The first three words are said just waaaaay too fast.
I've got all of their songs from their studio albums down (except for HTF, I dont care for it at all) and most demos. I will never get Standing in the Middle, It's Goin Down, or the And One verse though. Also, does anybody else try rapping along with Mike on papercut and fully succeed lol? I can do everything except for "but everybody has a face that they hold inside" part. He raps "everybody" way too fast and I can only keep up on my good days. It pisses me off so much...
I can do it pretty much. High Voltage is harder but I can do that as well. And welcome to LPA! First post was on a thread that I made. I feel so honored...
I love to sing along to all of LP's songs, especially the very difficult verses by Mike in some of the demos/underground stuff. The end of And One, awesome. Reading My Eyes, amazing. Fuse? S i c k rapping by Mike, and one of my favorite (you can tell by my sig ) verses. Also, the Part of Me verses still leave me in awe. Its the junk-yard crooked letter C-I-N-tific, duck us the ruckus i bring stings your ear drum hear one, lalala let loose find me fearsome haha i freakin love that
