The line “a licky boom-boom dem” in the song Informer is a diss. The song is about Snow being arrested and doing jail time after being accused of stabbing someone. He’s singing to the guy who snitched, saying he’s a kiss ass to the cops. In Con Calma they changed the line to “I like ya boom-boom girl” since daddy yankee made a party song version. I think the original is a way more interesting song!

[@danjor5749]

Snow himself has said that the line doesn’t mean anything. It’s just gibberish that sounds good.

[@randomnobodovsky3692]

"saying he’s a kiss ass to the cops" - Isn't "lick" a slang word used to describe harming someone? I understood it as a threat of shooting (boom boom) the informer. I think that in the music video Snow even makes, for a very brief moment, gesture that may suggest it. On the other hand, semi-random hand gestures are stample of that music genre, so it might be me seeing white noise and reading it wrong. Anyway, whatever dialect "Informer" is in, I'm not good at it. And, well, "Informer" is a great song indeed. Cheers!

“rich girl” by gwen stefani (2004) was a sample of a song called “rich girl” by reggae duo louchie lou and michie one from 1993 that sampled a song called “if i was a rich man” from a 1964 musical fiddler on the roof

And yet the most frustrating thing about Gwen Stefani’s cover is she changed it from “If I were a rich man” to “If I was a rich girl”.

[@_mrnna]

Actually whole genres like house and hiphop are based on sampling funky and disco songs, and since all of the most iconic grooves are used multiple times, now they're copying copies. Pop songs are always based on stolen beats and melodies, nothing is interesting in that. Actually Snow's version of Informer is from around 1992-93 or something around that time - my early childhood, I feel so old now 😢 😂 -, and he features in the new version as well, so it's another category a bit. Actually I like it both. The sampled version is Better of Alone is like killing my childhood's one of the most iconic Eurohouse song. It's from around 2001 if I remember well. (Since then I've checked: Informer - 1992, and Better of Alone is from 1999. Actually from that era nowadays house producers are getting oversample/over-revork the Eiffel 56's Blue as well. Another iconic beat from around the end of the last century-beginning the new one. Almost all of the best euro music made then.)

I don’t see how sampling songs is a bad thing, I think it’s really cool how producers can incorporate things into new things

[@-riot]

Exactly not everything has to be original. Usually originality is useful when you try to get a certain melody because you came up with it or something. Samples=creativity its about how you use them too

[@kyleknoernschild6348]

Fun fact the Ben E King song was featured on both the soundtrack and the movie stand by me.

Actually, we all have heard Roomie's voice without auto tune multiple times. He sings in between the videos. That's enough proof :)

Yes!!! Just because some of his songs use autotune, it doesn’t mean he can’t sing well in real life. Joel is an amazing singer❤️

[@ksokso7370]

Firstly I think he can sing really, good, don't get me wrong. But you just edit autotune at anytime. I think, Im sure, sorry if I'm wrong

yeah gangsta’s paradise is a really interesting and nuanced song about class and race and is a really interesting flip on the stevie sample lyrically. and it was also one of the first songs to break hip hop into the mainstream. it’s a really important and great track and it really annoyed me how much roomie lowballed it here

[@maffekiegm]

Plus coolio and lv performed gangsta’s paradise live and towards the end Stevie wonder came out and he started singing the chorus to gangsta’s paradise while lv sang the chorus to pastime paradise. Not sure if you’ve see it or not but it’s really cool

I mean a the copyright law copyright stuff for 50 years so, yea nobody cares though if it was already 100 years old, except a big star like Miles Davis maybe

[@yellowbed]

Sam Dadelahi I’m pretty sure copyright laws last 75 years, so if the song is over 75 years old you LEGALLY can take the entire song. It is very old tho idk if it’s worth

Listen to the lyrics of gangsta’s paradise, it is actually very relevant

[@Vageta1999]

TAC yeah his take was super ignorant. Like he never even bothered to listen to the song or hear the lyrics before trashing it. The hook is literally: “Tell me why are we so blind to see that the ones we hurt are you and me”

[@superdave8808]

Thank you. It's an amazing song because of how introspective Coolio is, wondering if he'll even live to see 24. Definitely one of the best sampled songs, if not the best.

[@badfem]

Absolutely, but they might just be too specific to the experiences of black americans for a white man from sweden to fully understand and relate to. And that's okay, but he really should have done a bit more research. Even watching the movie would give you a bit of insight lol.

[@bobbysyblik68]

And the lyrics of Amish Paradise have never been less relevant.

[@omegaRST]

To be fair I just read the lyrics and they really aren't that bad. It addresses the problem with black American's limited possibilities and how the people that are supposed to fix it have no clue what their life is like. It's not that bad although it's true that a lot of the song is pretty much "gangsta yo"

roomie gangstas paradise was about the struggles of being a gangsta not about how good it is to be a gangsta also steivie wonder worked on gangstas paradise with coolio update: here ill prove it He's rapping about being paranoid, having to look over his shoulder every corner he takes. He's alive and he's young, but will he get to grow old or will he die young? He doesn't know, but he goes out till the end. "Death ain't nothing but a heart beat away" (He could get killed any given moment) "As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left" (Meaning that living the 'gang life' Is like not living at all) "I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes" (He was raised by the gang, he doesn't know for anything outside the gang) "I'm 23 now, but will I live and see 24, the way things Is going I don't know.." ('The way thing Is going I don't know' - he knows the gang life Isn't any good, It's not worth It, his mother disowned him, death Is a risk at any time, and as much as he wants to live a normal life, he can't because he doesn't know anything else) "Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye" (He's motivated, do or die, however the chorus emphasises that he's using his will the wrong way and It's only hurting him and his loved ones.) "Tell me why are we, so blind to see That the one's we hurt, are you and me Tell me why are we, so blind to see That the one's we hurt, are you and me" 'You' (the gangster) and 'me' (the loved one(s) of the gangster) And the title of the song Itself: "Gangsta's Paradise" Is double sided, for normal people living life, gangster life appeals cool, and everyone's a "wanna-be gangsta" (that's where the term comes from). "I'm the kinda G that lil homies wanna be". However, when you dive deeper and look at a gangster's life from their perspective, the word "Paradise" In the title of the song Is an ironical metaphor for "Hell". The message that this song sends Is that people should oppose the gang life. On the surface It may seem cool, flamboyant and whatnot, but the deeper you go the darker It gets, just like hell.

btw the lyrics are "realize there's *nothing* left" and "raised by the *street* "

I don’t think sampling automatically means copying and being unoriginal. It could be but it still takes creativity to make a new song out of a sample from another song

[@beastofbussycreek]

Mark Ronson did a TED Talk a few years ago about sampling, and he talked in length about how it generally works better when an artist picks something that's more meaningful to them and they crafts it into something that's their own rather than coopting nostalgia and banking on that alone

[@deariisy]

To use the samples you have to ask the Creator of it to use it. If they are dead then........Idk. but example, Katy Perry had to pay 8 million dollars to some dude for using one of his lines in dark horse without his permission

[@zuzannaklimczak5567]

@@deariisy At first Katy had to pay but she got her money back or something. "Flame filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Perry and the other songwriters, claiming that "Dark Horse" copied from his 2008 song "Joyful Noise". On July 29, 2019, a federal jury ruled in favor of Flame. The jury ordered Perry, her collaborators, and associated labels to pay $2.78 million in damages. However, in part due to a similar judgement that found Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" clear of copyright infringement in the Ninth Circuit, the jury award was vacated on appeal in March 2020." So basically she got her money back.

Gangsta’s Paradise is one of the greatest works of hood existentialism. With each verse he outlines his acts or inactions and justifications for them. Then he ends each verse with first desperation then uncertainty then finally resignation that he will not make it out of his situation. The pre chorus highlights how this lifestyle only stands to hurt everyone in these circumstances. The chorus which includes the change to gangstas paradise denotes the glorification of the gangsta lifestyle. It holds up as a both explanation of and cautionary tale to the people in these socioeconomic positions that drive them towards the gangstas lifestyle. Stevie made a great song but this is nothing to be scoffed at, even the change to gangsta is important and meaningful.
