Long Burn the Fire

[ColbyTrio]

"I got tigers claws that will scratch your dick"?

Bingo!

[JoLovesMCA]

Somebody made a thread! YES! I am telling you I could have hurt myself listening to that clip of this song. It's so fucking full of awesomeness I can't describe! fdjgcfjhcfgophjgchopjghgvhnj ACK!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: Isn't MCA saying tiger claws that will scratch your neck or dead??

[jayjacobson16]

"I got Shark's teeth so I can bite your head
I got tiger's claws that'll scratch you dead"

I'm pretty sure that's what he says.

[JoLovesMCA]

Iz *dead*

thanks!

[ColbyTrio]

Iz *dead*

thanks!

I like dick. Dick it is.

[jayjacobson16]

I like dick. Dick it is.

Ha! I have respect for you.

[Drusyc]

You think theres any chance this one is a Yauch solo track?
. I'm hoping it is, that beat is perfect for him.

(I know you can hear D and adrock in the back)

Definitely crossed my mind, but you never know.

[Brother McDuff]

Yauch's a monster on that cut. he's kinda got a '3-minute rule'-type bravado goin on in that one, i feel. heavy, macho beat too; frames the content real nice.

the intensity of the vocals in these clips is so profound. from the fierce lyrics, to the emphatic deliveries, to the remarkably effective back-up schemes, it's just made such a significant impression on me. couldn't be any more pleased.

[laurie_hammy]

Yauch suits this track, just like Bodhisaatva Vow, The Update, Flowin Prose style.

[jayjacobson16]

In the DiS Prelisten the guy quotes an Adrock line in Long Burn the Fire so I doubt it.

[NiceJerk]

"I got Shark's teeth so I can bite your head
I got tiger's claws that'll scratch you dead"

I'm pretty sure that's what he says.

I agree: "I got tigers claws that'll scratch you dead" BUT also I think MCA is such the master of rap that he intenionally makes it sound like "scratch your dick" or even "scratch your neck" ... and basically saying all THREE of those at the same time in only the way MCA can... (lyrical genius and master of rap) And that makes me envision how he's had to face a fight against cancer.

No, pretty sure it's just dead

[Darko]

To compromise, let's just ask MCA to change the line to "scratch your dick dead."

That's just wrong.... MCA, what are you saying in that particular verse?

[JoLovesMCA]

I said it once and will say it again.

THIS MY SONG!

Yauch kills it. I heart him so much. :o

Anyway fangirling aside, I really am floored because he's got everything going on from the lyrics to the delivery on this track.

executed flawlessly.

HAHA!

[jayjacobson16]

They all do top notch in this track but I feel Adrock the most.

[Burnout18]

long burn the fire is the baddest fucking song they have done since check your head was released..... i love it.

-me from another thread. I love this song.

[Matchstikk]

When it started playing on the boombox i was leveled. Yauch came full force and slayed me. This track is soooo hot.

[Kid Presentable]

They all hit it out of the park on there. I'm just happy with this and Multilat but the whole album has been in my ears all day

[Darko]

Listening to this again, I just realized it features the one of the greatest B-Boys lyrics of all time.

"My style is iller than the goblins in Troll 2"

There's no need for anyone else to release new music in 2011. No one can top that.

[Turchinator]

rhymes about antihistamines and analgesics...

that's all I need

[Brother McDuff]

that's all I need

ooh, and don't forget expectorants too.

[Jiberish]

What's Yauch saying his shield?

Golf is the shield and my mic is my sword?

[Kid Presentable]

It's either

my book is my shield and my mic is my sword (rhymebook)

Or

my mic is my shield and my mic is my sword (flipped depending on perception, on an as needs deal)

or it's neither. :)

[JoLovesMCA]

What's Yauch saying his shield?

Golf is the shield and my mix is my sword?

I've replayed it and can't get it! I hope there is an MCYauch lyric decoder somewhere in the house.

Love the way he say sword sword sword... that's my new favorite word. (y)

I might be wrong about this but the proceeding line is possibly about the spider-man Green Goblin fight at the end of Spider-Man 1. And if it's not actually about that it's still a crazy description and deserves to be ill style compared to Trolls 2 anyways.

I thought I heard something about jumping out of a window. OMG I think getting a hold of the lyrics to these songs just became more unbearable than getting the CD in the mail.

[Jiberish]

Oh yeah, he def says that line about jumping out of a window onto a parade balloon. Just trying to figure out if it's a spider-man reference or now. also weird how it quotes darko for my post. oh well.

[Kid Presentable]

Taking a wild guess on MCA's verse. I love it, but I'm sure there are minor errors in here:

Jump out the window onto a parade balloon
My style is iller than the goblins in Troll 2
Cause I'm the type of M.C with the most pizzazz
You're stealin my books, like I was Grandmaster Caz
Got rhymes about antihistamines and analgesics
Rhyme about expectorants? Y'all don't see it
Soothsayer, not a player, rhymesayer extreme
Burn like fire when I step on the scene
I got shark's teeth so I can bite your head
I got tiger's claws that'll scratch ya dead
I got wings like a dragon when I'm flyin above
Shoot venom from eyes when it's time to get ruff
Step back, and check yourself
Cause M.C's got weapons that'll ruin your health
So if you're feeling strong, then reach for yours
My book is my shield, and my mic is my sword (sword sword sword sword sword....sword)

Adrock's is a little tougher

Now
It's Adrock rappin I'm back again
Like a Big Mac attack on your gut
And it's wack my friend
I'm a maxer, relaxer and I'm chillin
I take that shit serious, like Jerome Dubillon (absolutely not what he says)
I burn you to a crisp sucker back up off the toaster
I'll make you sick like a Kenny Rogers Roaster
See this rap thing is all about the braggadocia
I check my rear-view, M.C's ain't gettin closer
People think I'm slow cause I'm just a little challenged
*Something I can't make out* wonderful talent
Live round the clock like Disco Donut
I'm like a tailor cause I got the thing sewn-up
Or a proctologist, I move asses
Got so much heat that I'll fog your Mom's glasses
Proof is in the pudding and the pudding's in my pants
You heard me rap and now watch me dance

Someone else should have a crack at Mike D's verse. The obvious shit is obvious, like the Elton John mention and rats in the Taco Bell, but I'm convinced Sergio Georgini is another Office reference, and it's probably wrong. The only obsucre-ish part I can be confident of is

On the mic I spit, the match is lit
Mike Dino: The Jewish Brad Pitt

Thank U! I think you did a great job with that. Am Love those lyrics. All three BB's have memorable lines in this one. Really love "You heard me rap and now watch me dance" :o

[Darko]

I thought he was saying "Mike D, no, the Jewish Brad Pitt" but I guess Mike Dino makes more sense.

[Jiberish]

From adrock's verse:

People think I'm slow cause I'm just a little challenged
*Something I can't make out* wonderful talent

should be

Hey I forgot to ask, is that TROLL movie a parody or was that real?

That shit is real. I use to watch it on Cinemax when I was a kid.

OMG! Ha ha okay I love cheesy old movies and have seen my share but that trailer was just too much!!!!! Damn I can’t wait to show my friends that tonight. Would love to know what other movies like that MCA stays up late watching. Too cute!!!!!!!!!

[Brother McDuff]

Troll 2 really is the worst movie ever.

[brooklyndust]

it's tied with "the room"

[JoLovesMCA]

What about The Apple?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BY9cvgrP1c

Although I can't lie I sorta enjoyed this movie in a weird way. But I guess because I remember it as a kid and didn't know the difference between a high budget musical and a low one ha ha.

it was bad!

[NiceJerk]

. I'm hoping it is, that beat is perfect for him.

(I know you can hear D and adrock in the back)

... do you mean that he recorded it seperately in the studio or he wrote this one solo? I didn't understand cuz I can hear D and adrock in the front... and D just toooooooottttttally destroys in ways I cannot put into words...

I only made the connection last night while reading the lyrics and I don't think this has been brought up yet, but I kind of had one of those (lb) moments


I take that shit serious like Jerome to grillin'


of course this is in reference to the wild and angry Jerome Crooks, featured in the AIFST extras...

[NiceJerk]

I don't think the lyrics that came with the CD are 100% accurate.

Does anyone know what Mike D says in the first couple of lines of his lyrics? Something like "For one name who delivers to the rafters, from up above you can hear our laughter"?

I thought he was referring about laughing down at atheists one day, and that "For one name" meant Jesus, but he is Jewish? Just curious cuz I've really only used to MCA making religious/spiritual statments.

Save the date for when they hoist our number to the rafters. Above the haters you can hear our laughter. Bloody hell.......troll

Troll? Why the chip on your shoulder? I was asking about the meaning of that verse. Perhaps you are were so focused on monitoring the forums for a chance to prove you own the printed lyrics (nerd) that you overlooked my main question, which was about the meaning of that verse.

And in case you haven't noticed, the printed lyrics aren't 100% accurate anyway. Moron.

[Kid Presentable]

It means you don't understand that a player's retired number is hoisted above the arena, above the haters, in this case while said players are laughing at those who have dismissed them. You are being given an opportunity to be present at the event, with a 'save the date' notification, which will help avoid schedule clashes. It may not happen tomorrow, or the next day, but it will happen. Good times.

It's not knowledge, it's reading and comprehension. Helps me work out which ones are inaccurate, too. :)

I know the literal meaning, but in reality, tell me the last time you saw (or give me a link to a youtube video) a teams' numbers literally being hoisted up to rafters, with haters laughing upwards.

I'm sure your reading skills are top notch, but your comprehension skills differ from mine because I'm always looking for hidden meaning.

I still say the verse is a type of religious metaphor (with haters being athiests).

[Turchinator]

we just told you the meaning. the entire verse is about the beastie boys going down in history and you are going off about jesus and atheists.

[NiceJerk]

we just told you the meaning. the entire verse is about the beastie boys going down in history and you are going off about jesus and atheists.

You say "we just told you the meaning" as if you and Kid are a large group of people. In reality, you and Kid are just two people, so it's a bit risky of you to assume that Mike himself agrees 100% with your hasty interpretation.

And besides, you're missing an even bigger notion: Why would he rap about eventually going down in history? Why would Mike imply that the day has not yet come when the BBoys have gone down in history?

According to you, Mike is saying that the date will eventually come when the BBoys go down in history, but that it has not happened yet.

And according to Kid, Mike is saying the the date "may not happen tomorrow, or the next day, but it will happen." This sounds more like the apocolypse to me than what he thinks it means, which is to avoid "schedule clashes" (LOL!).

[NiceJerk]

Well done, you have entertained me with your trolling. (y)

I'm glad you are easily amused, but too bad that lazy mind of yours hasn't ventured far enough defend its own ignorance.

You are still saying that Mike is rapping about the BBoys not yet having gone down in history, which certainly is not the case.

It's OK if your job doesn't involve much brain work but don't let it get too rusty. Ignorance is only bliss for a while, then you go broke.

[Lex Diamonds]

Why do you assume this guy is a troll? The Beastie Boys are constantly referencing Christianity in their lyrics. For example Triple Trouble is about the Holy Trinity, the original name for LTI was going to be "Don't Be A Heathen", and the picture in the PB sleeve is actually the boys being baptised.

Get your knowledge up before Mike D condemns you to eternal damnation.

[Kid Presentable]

It's fitting that my favourite song on the album becomes my favourite thread.

Upon reflection, I think Adrock's verse is rapped from perspective of the Australian racehorse 'Rooting King' which could be why Mike is seeking atonement through his Apostolic flow, since racehorses = gambling = sin.

It would go some way to explaining the flagrancy of Horovitz's boasts since the horse in question has won every Melbourne Cup for the past 50 years.

[Lex Diamonds]

Yeah, that makes sense. If you look back, the same horse also appears in Paul Revere and High Plains Drifter and there is a picture of it in the CYH collage. Most people don't realise that most of TMU is actually distorted horse sounds but if you play "In A World Gone Mad" backwards you can clearly hear Mix Master Mike saying "I'm holding the saddle and the carrots are boiled, our steed is fit for any hurdle" over & over.

[brooklyndust]

Beastie Boys always have deep hidden meanings behind their lyrics. They never just rhyme things for the sake of rhyming.

Here are a few examples:
The proof is in the pudding and the pudding is in my pants.
I got the brand new do do guaranteed like yoo hoo.
Weird thing to say, here it goes tough titty.

LOL! I know lol! Now you know why the particular verse I've been discussing all along was so odd to me at first, because I usually expect MCA to outnumber the others on religious references and metaphors... But Mike's tone of voice in this particular verse hit me like that of a thoroughly honest preacher, sent directly by God Himself, with a thoroughly urgent and painful reminder for the unsaved souls! LOL?!? I got tired of buying replacement rewind buttons for my car stereo, so I wanted to see if anyone knew what he was saying. That's why I came here to ask, on the BBoy's forums. Looks like my hunch that there was deeper meaning kinda has some kick to it. LOL! Thanks Mike!

lyrical sidenote- Madison Square Garden honored Elton John on his 60th Birthday Performance by retiring the number 60 in the rafters along with Billy Joel and Willis Reed's #19





http://www.thegarden.com/faq/index.htmlA retired jersey number is the highest honor a player from one of our teams can achieve at Madison Square Garden...When a number is retired, it will forever hang from The Garden rafters and can never be worn by another player from that franchise again. Retired Knicks jersey numbers are: 10 (Walt Frazier), 12 (Dick Barnett), 15 (Earl Monroe and Dick McGuire), 19 (Willis Reed), 22 (Dave DeBusschere), 24 (Bill Bradley), 33 (Patrick Ewing), and 613 (Red Holtzman. The 613 signifies the number of wins attained as Head Coach of the Knicks). In addition, the number 12 hangs to celebrate Billy Joel's record breaking 12 sold out nights in the Arena (Feb-April, 2006) and the number 60 in honor of Elton John's 60th performance at The Garden on his 60th birthday (March 25, 2007)

I'm impressed, they're rapping about a long burn fire connection we have.

Long Burn The Fire is one of my favs on the album for sure. So awsome.

LOOOOVE this track, the Beat and Rhymes are sweeeeet!

I know the chorus on the lyric sheet says "the truth shall set you free"..but it doesn't sound like they are saying that, maybe I'm deaf.

Best part of the album is when Mike D does the high pitched "Fire!" under MCA. It gives me goose pimples.
