If You Could Change One Lyric...

[drew garabo]

"Check Your Head" has been stuck in my CD player for a hot minute, due to my 3-year-old son's obsession with "So What'cha Want." Every once in a while, he'll let me listen to a few additional tracks. I can't help but critique Mike D. when it comes to "Pass the Mic." It's one of my favorite Beasties songs, but when D repeats the word "commercial," it irks me every time. In my own humble and uninformed opinion, a better lyrical pairing would have been:

everybody's rapping like it's a commercial
acting like life is a big rehearsal.

Anyone feel like changing a Beasties lyric or two?

[Laver1969]

That was actually what it was supposed to be.

I remember reading/hearing it somewhere that it was supposed to be "rehearsal" or "dress rehearsal"...but Mike goofed the line and they made him leave it in.

^ I didn't know that. (y) (y)

[dave790]

I've always thought it rams the point home that way. Emphasis on the commercial. But if it's a goof then that's still a cool story (y)

[natalieuk]

yeah it would sound better as rehearsal. But i like the way he repeats it. It sounds so real! if i could improve any lyrics i would cahnge this line in 'lookin down a barell of a gun'

Had a small problem wit the the transmission[/I)
[I]had a small fuck up with the transmsiion

oh ye i would also like to change this line in 'can't won't don't stop'

this one goes out to dechen
this one goes out to def jam - dunno why wud just sound cool!

[dirtydan11]

[BrooklynDown]

Change:

So I'm Supposed To Sit Upon My Couch Just Watching My T.V. yeah
I'm Still Listening To Wax, I'm Not Using The CD

Haha, I always thought it should be

Everybody rappin' like it's a commercial
Actin' like life is an infomercial

...I think they explain that on the DVD commentary; that's probably where you got it.

In "Do It" MCA rhymes Coney Island with LES Manhattan Island. It happens every now and then where a rapper will either not rhyme or rhyme the same word twice. No biggie really, it happens in poetry too.
