BPM93
旋律
歌曲有多麼清晰易記且符合明確音樂模式的旋律。通常,旋律分明的作品會擁有清晰易記的器樂或人聲主線。
原聲音質
此指標衡量一首歌曲在多大程度上依賴原聲樂器 (例如鋼琴、吉他、小提琴、鼓、薩克斯風),而非電子或數位合成音效
Valence
歌曲透過和聲與節奏所傳達的音樂積極性或情感基調。數值高通常對應快樂、興奮或愉悅感,數值低則與悲傷、憤怒或憂鬱相關。
節奏感
綜合了節拍穩定性、節奏型態與重拍強度等多重因素,以判定一首歌曲適合跳舞的程度。一首「節奏感強」的歌曲,通常具備穩定的速度、重複的音樂結構與明顯的強拍。
輕快
曲目的律動感可能受節奏快慢、音量起伏與聲譜密度所影響。較輕快的歌曲通常節奏強勁,編曲豐滿;反之,不太輕快的歌曲則可能編曲簡約、節奏較慢。
歌詞
EPMD, what? Uh, yeah
Peace to Chuck
Chuck D
Yeah, uh
You're not telling 'em huh? Yeah
They go "ooh and ah" when I jump in my car
People treat me like Kareem Abdul Jabbar
When I'm supreme rap star, they all know me
E.D., when I flash the greens on TV
MC's be robbing me, of my technique
The way I speak, the way I get down, the way I sound
And if you ask me, they must be on the jock
Of the innovator (one two), rock roll bounce to skater
Okay, fuck it, enough with the tight shit, grab the mic quick
Hollywood ****, put it down spit some hype shit
EPMD Erick and Parrish, Making Dollars
With the rap scholars keep the show packed like funeral parlors
Deadly, murderous I know you heard of us
Holding shit down on the block, nobody serving us (yeah son)
The E Double and Mic Doc, Boondocks
Def Jam's off the meter yo, this shit is hot
Never seen before, or heard before
The uncut raw
I'm Erick Sermon
And I'm Parrish Smith
Never seen before, or heard before
The uncut raw (yeah)
I'm Erick Sermon
And I'm Parrish Smith
Check it, now I'm back with the fliest material
Mic Doc and E Dub the grand imperial
My mic's deadly, so I scratched off the serial
And stashed it, until I have to kill at will
Keep it moving, yes it's me in the flesh
It's no illusion, fuck around and catch minor contusions
Whatever, I'm Smoking Joe when it comes to rap
I'm a pro-fessional, Tiger Woods I'm good
Time to black out, no doubt, people wanna know about
The inside scoop with the group, and are they comin out
Damn skippy I'm tipsy, high like a hippie
Don't take drinks from strangers 'cause **** slip mickies
That's why I stay on Qcue, like Omar Epps in J-U
I-C-E so chill and bust the debut
In rare form the false alarm's the Mic Don's
Back in effect, snap that neck, the P's gone
Never seen before, or heard before
The uncut raw
I'm Erick Sermon
And I'm Parrish Smith
Never seen before, or heard before
The uncut raw
I'm Erick Sermon
And I'm Parrish Smith
Never say never
What? EPMD's back together
And if it gets warm take off the hot sweater
Flip the ill slick flow (flow)
Watch us throw (throw)
Down with the other brothers toe to toe
And if ya slow ya blow
That's why we coming with the ammo
Yo' ten year veterans
A thousand rap sessions
Yeah, the hard rockers
The crowd shockers
The head knockers
Yeah, EPMD's off the rockers
Never seen before, or heard before
The uncut raw
I'm Erick Sermon
And I'm Parrish Smith
Never seen before, or heard before
The uncut raw
I'm Erick Sermon
And I'm Parrish Smith
Never seen before, or heard before
The uncut raw
I'm Erick Sermon
And I'm Parrish Smith
Never seen before, or heard before
The uncut raw
I'm Erick Sermon
And I'm Parrish Smith
Yeah, uh, uh, uh-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah
EPMD for nine-what, whatever, yeah, uh-huh (blowing my mind0
Sample this shit, word up!
