I've re-scanned the Rapology Thriteen CDs as these had fingerpints and even my cat's hair on it. The other scans look completely clean, but these two CDs look way better now: http://imgur.com/a/6kYMu
10/10 Also love that Illmatic sample on Fiends Guys, I think Mark is on Fiends. I hear Mike say in the second verse, "Me and Mark transform.."
Yeah Drop has lines I never thought I'd hear from Mike Shinoda. That beastiality line was WTF What did ya think of Fiends?
The second voice of Fiends on the background at around minute 1 really remind me of one of the early xero demos where they did something really similar, so It might be him after all.
I think Mike may have repurposed some lines from Fiends for It's Going Down but that's also brilliant!
I just listened to the first verse both verses in "Drop" and I was, like, "this is actually pretty damn good"
need some help with the drop lyrics. working on fiends now but it's such gibberish/weird phrases that it's tough. I think he says kazinsky from star trek, not kadinsky the russian artist. hi we're back kenji, artofficial rapology 13 why do these people have to get in my way i'm losing more and more pity for idiots every day say what you want about my outlook, i'm pessimistic but you're the one who watches jerry springer _______ this shit just the other day I saw my neighbor on the show cause her cracksmoking kids were fucking a dog when she came home from work and it was her beastility videotapes and crack rock that gave them all the ideas in the first place not even worst case scenario, it's everywhere I turn rap records still coming out talking about how they got money to burn and joe can't get his turntables fixed and this hunchback repair man with a hairlip is a fucking lunatic when all we gotta do is fix the AC cord that blew out and this dude's charging us seventy two bucks to take the screws out (that's ridiculous) i'm fed up and i'm doing all i can do to move to a deserted island and make my own shit out of coconuts and bamboo the world's nothing but a can full of idiots the world's nothing but a basket full of stupids the world's nothing but a bucket full of morons i don't wanna talk to you so don't look at me the world's nothing but a can full of idiots the world's nothing but a basket full of stupids the world's nothing but a bucket full of morons i don't wanna talk to you so don't look at me now i'm starting to think that kazinsky (felt?) i had a good point my grandpa's popping valium and viagra, smoking joints cause the doctor said it would cure his anxiety attacks but the reason he's so anxious is he's doing all that smack and my cousin pete the phone sex freak went to vegas with one of the operators and she drove off in his mercedes and he went around town alone and he gambled all his cheddar now he and grandpa sit at home and shoot heroin together but that's what happens in a world of heathenists and heretics teachers get paid less than cops and psychotherapists cause it's pretty damn important to give you a ticket for a headlight so you can get home safe and visit charles manson's website or see the shrink to get your head right or get on the road and get hit by a slobbering drunk driver running a red light or get murdered by mr. green in the alley with a lead pipe or sing the chorus because it's alright the world's nothing but a can full of idiots the world's nothing but a basket full of stupids the world's nothing but a bucket full of morons i don't wanna talk to you so don't look at me the world's nothing but a can full of idiots the world's nothing but a basket full of stupids the world's nothing but a bucket full of morons i don't wanna talk to you so don't look at me
Okay, first it's Kaczynski, as in the Unabomber. Second, I think got most of the lyrics to "Fiends". Someone else transcribe the bridge because I'm lazy.
I know right!? Mike's early style of rapping is the only thing I miss from the band's first few years.
The "exhale the smoke from molotov cocktails" line in Fiends is sampled from Emcee 007's verse in Spies Like Us by Styles of Beyond, hence him also being credited on this song.
