BPM103
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
It's time to start the party if ya'll don't mind
Me and E clean our Adidas with 409
He rocks the highs, I dog the bass
Ya wanna hear us rock? Here's a taste!
Every day I make a sandwich with ham and cheese
Use miracle whip, I don't like mayonnaise
I eat a can of beans, good for my heart
About 1 PM, I always...
Far from me to bite another's rhyme
They're just too easy to write, I do 'em two at a time
Like "Doggin' the Wax" and "Ya Don't Quit"
And if you didn't like that then suck my...
Dictations how I write my raps
Cold maxin' with two freaks upon my lap
Chillin' on the phone, bookin' more def shows
And if the freaks get illy, I smack the...
Whole days of my life are spent inside my bed
Just maxin' and relaxin' like I'm at club med
Ya say you like this record, you think it's fun?
Party people get stupid, we just begun!
(Break)
You're get, get, gettin' real stupid
As the beat hits your body (get ill)
You ain't dumb, you paid your dollars to party (go off)
The girl you're dancin' with has got great hips (bug out)
Go on, homeboy, and grab her...
Tape recorder, turn up the bass
No time to waste, just dog the place
R-R-R-Rocket like a missile in space
Evil E keeps his 1200s in an anvil case
We fly T.W.A., Pan Am, P.S.A
To places close to home, far away
L.A., New York, Detroit, Miami
If I see a girl and like her then I let her see my...
Jam rockin's how I got my fame
Ice capital T, Evil E's his name
If you can't see who's rockin' you must be blind
You better clean your Cazals with some 409!
Go, Ice, get busy
Go, Ice, get busy
Go, Evil, get busy
Go, Evil, get busy
Turn up your stereo, equalize treble
Bass be kickin' stupid hard as metal
On the mic tonight, you're right, your rhyme opponent
M.C. Ice T just microphonin'
33 and 1/3 revolutions per minute
This record is def because my heart is in it
Vocals laid by the Ice, tempos tight and precise
Special effects will be created by an editor's splice
The funk is in it, ya dig it, so stop that frontin'
Bust a move to my groove, work your body, do somethin'
No way in the world that you can deny my method
As my record rotates, my words get more impressive
I'm an M.C., Evil's my DJ
On Sire Records not MCA
CBS, Capitol, cause they move too slow
Now Sire/Warner Bros. (clocks all the dough)
As the record revolves money's gettin' made
ASCAP pays me every time it's played
I chill in def leathers pure silks and suede
And the gold around my neck will never fade
Down with my Syndicate organized rhyme
Kickin' def tempos that I design
And if you can't hear 'em, that's such a crime
You better wash your dirty ears with some 409
I always rhyme elite, stay on beat
I travel in a posse when I walk the street
I loved to say my rhymes when I used to max
Now I don't speak much, I save my words for wax
I just wanna make a little point in this song
With a little nonsense we can all get along
And on and on till the break'a break of dawn
This jam will never play out because the groove's too strong
Guys grab a girl, girls grab a guy
If a guy wants a guy (please take it outside)
I wanna make ya enjoy yourself
On the mic tonight (Ice T!) Who else?
Evil's on the cuts, Henry Gee's shot gun
Islam's my producer, Bambatta's son
Bronx Style Bob's cold watchin' my back
Melle Mel's just layin' for some punks to act wack
Grandmaster Caz and Donald D
Scott La Rock, Red Alert, Chuck Chill Out
If you're down with my crew, you will be fine
But if you ill we'll get dirty, bring your 409!
(Break)
409
